December 17, 200421 yr I totally agree with that. I have seen him play four times, and not once did he jump out at me. I know I know, four games is sort of a rush to judgement, but I have heard all of the speculation that the hype machine has taken over for this prospect. Add him to the list of: Hensley Muelens, Kevin Maas, Brien Taylor, and Drew Henson I've watched him over 60 times myself.
December 17, 200421 yr Good. Now that Williams missed out on Johnson I'm free to criticize him again. Hey Santo, has any player you supported signed with this team?
December 17, 200421 yr More to a player than numbers. *shrugs* He will be a .250 hitter in the majors with medicore defense in my opinion.
December 17, 200421 yr At least now the focus can be solely directed towards Clement, Perez and perhaps AJ.

December 17, 200421 yr I've only heard of Navarro as an 'overhyped Yankee prospect.' I keep wondering how he can be overhyped when everyone knows him mostly as that overhyped guy in the Yankees minor league system.
December 17, 200421 yr guys like kenny said if the guys not an impact guy which kenny means stud he wont get a guy. Which befuddles me why he wont. Go get guys like aron sele, nomo, perez, or other pitchers who are not metioned much.
December 17, 200421 yr Good. Now that Williams missed out on Johnson I'm free to criticize him again. Hey Santo, has any player you supported signed with this team? Wait until tomorrow.
December 17, 200421 yr -LA gets Vazquez, Navarro, (missed last player) -NY gets Johnson -AZ gets Brazobahn, Penny, Green. No mention of possibly salary implications.
December 17, 200421 yr Author I think that plane Kenny is "Flying under the radar" in must have crashed somewhere.....sheesh.
December 17, 200421 yr -LA gets Vazquez, Navaro, (missed last player) -NY gets Johnson -AZ gets Brazobahn, Penny, Green. No mention of possibly salary implications. Duncan, their prized third baseman
December 17, 200421 yr -LA gets Vazquez, Navaro, (missed last player) -NY gets Johnson -AZ gets Brazobahn, Penny, Green. No mention of possibly salary implications. Wow, if that is the deal. Excellent f***ing trade for the diamondbacks.
December 17, 200421 yr -AZ gets Brazobahn, Penny, Green. My God, Arizona couldn't possibly be more stupid.
December 17, 200421 yr weird....... still nothing about the deal on espn.com It was like that for a long time after the lee trade also. Soem people were starting to believe it was not true.
December 17, 200421 yr I was nervous when KW said in every press conference after the Carlos trade that we might use the money for a June/July trade. Now, I'm scared to death that will be their excuse when they don't pick up another pitcher.
December 17, 200421 yr My God, Arizona couldn't possibly be more stupid. If someone pays say half of green's contract that is a really good trade.
December 17, 200421 yr I'm happy this whole RJ thing is over, but I hate it that it had to end with him going to the yanks. At first I wanted him to come here, but the asking price was entirely too high. It always seems as if the yanks get players to put them over the top, but the past few years it wasn't enough to win them a ring. Hopefully the same goes this year.
December 17, 200421 yr Wow, if that is the deal. Excellent f***ing trade for the diamondbacks. How? Do you really think they can win in the next couple years? It's the best pitcher in baseball for an old hitter, a good starter, and a very promising reliever. The first 2 they might not have for more than a couple years.
December 17, 200421 yr I wonder how much more payroll the bankrupt D'Backs have added to their payroll.
December 17, 200421 yr I was nervous when KW said in every press conference after the Carlos trade that we might use the money for a June/July trade. Now, I'm scared to death that will be their excuse when they don't pick up another pitcher. That is seeming more and more like a reality. :headshake Our rotation right now really blows unless Garland and Contreras don't break out big time.
