im gonna miss big mo... hes got a cannon and was really starting to develop... watch out for him.... s***
but, a pitcher like garcia, is more important in my mind... expecially if we can resign him.
im gonna miss big mo but you gotta bend if you wanna win
i say yes, the peices are in place, it makes sence for us and KW is in dire need of a pitcher. the braves have been looking to get rid of jones contract for some time now and this gives them a chance to.
more then a really good young pitcher with a carrer record of 95-47 and a 6 time gold glove outfielder that hits pretty damn good... more then that, for a rent-a-player... thats askin a lot!
this is funny, found it on a braves message board:
"What do you guys think about this one....
White Sox get: Andruw, Ortiz, and Furcal
Braves get: Maggs, and Konerko"
hahaha go to hell and back and that deal still wont happen, buddy! =D
damn, look at Ortiz's last start:
Ortiz (W, 7-6) 7.0 7 0 0 2 4 0 3.87
2 walks! brought his era back down to below 4
pull the freakin trigger KW.... get a nice CF, good SP, and some bullpen help all in one swoop! DOOO IT
me too, if im KW, i say go to the braves and tell them that you want Jones, Ortiz, Cruz, and cash and you will give them Maggs, Diaz or Rauch, and Stewart... if they say no, replace stewart with cotts
IMO:
KW is lieing because he dosent want people to know about maggs being on the block. i can see why he would trade maggs to get a proven CF GG player in JOnes, and a proven starter with a carrer win-loss record of something like 100-50
it makes since to trade maggs to get 3 years of Jones and Ortiz.... but KW doesnt want the magglio fans, magglio himself, and other teams to know about his talks with the braves.
this is why he likes to trade "under the radar"... he likes to have the cards in his hands... the ball in his court.
i wouldnt mind getting Ortiz... only if KW doesnt consider this our big time SP pick up... if we could get Ortiz, Garcia/another good SP, and 2 people for bullpen help... then i would start to think that all of hell froze over and jesus is comming back!
if something like this was to happen, KW and JR would score some HUGE points with chicago and its fans
he pitched really well today, and his last outting was also great... the only thing that killed us today was the errors, if it wasnt for those errors, we would have won
Diaz:
Stats as of 5/13
5-0, 1.83
not like it really matters hopefully he can do better then ranch and will thrive on a second change
