I am not at all impressed with ponson's performance in SF in the second half.... call it the NL difference if you want, but im not convinced he's the answer....
and no, freddy garcia is not either....
is there a list of the potential free agents this year up anywhere yet???
the only guy on the team this year that made strides forward is clee, and maybe frank if youre generous.... but
i want frank, i want maggs, i want buehrle the rest can go if they must....
guess it would depend on if cameron saw it as business or just personal crappage... if the sox cant keep colon, then i could see them signing a fa pitcher...and as nice as pettite might be, his stock is thru the roof and we wont pay for him... so be ready for a mid level pitcher, and having more cash for position players.
gordon wont be back unless kotch is traded, gordon wants to close....
and for all of you wanting to give up maggs, what are you thinkin? if payroll has to go, sad to say, let paulie go buh bye... maggs is flagship behind frank....
As heard on ESPN1000, Bruce Levine stating that Jose Paniagua is going to be observed/examined by sox execs in the dominican, if they see what they like, they must get him a visa then will put him in charlotte for a few days and then get him to Chicago.... more pen help but i dont know that its that good
?
i wonder if bud came in and killed the deal.
if bud wasnt gonna come in and kill trades like the reds were making to just get cash, then he wouldnt have touched a vasquez deal
I doubt suppan will be cheap... pittsburgh is already taking a beating for the seemingly one sided trades done so far... and since suppan is not an expensive player, they have little reason to trade him, since we lack top notch prospects they will want.
im not really sold on kendall... not to mension his contract... maybe pull the kendal/giles deal and ask for fogg back... then turn around and deal kendall to someone else for pitching... ?
either a starter or some relief pitching would be excellent... although the mets said they were done, but someone they have with post season experience is Mike stanton... might they part with stanton if the price is right?
he's been pretty solid in the field, and his bat is a bit slow right now, but is coming around... i am sick of not having a true 3 bagger, and now that we have one, everyone wants to send him packin.... ARGH!
