Williams is famous for striking early. It's mid-June.

The lefthander from the Pirates. Pirates need an OF prospect.

 

Mike gonzalez?

Hot Carl with a solo job

Williams is on the phone as we speak.  I can smell something coming.  Could be wrong, just a feeling.  Sox are playing shorthanded, he needs to fix it and he will try hard to get it done.

 

 

I agree Jim, I can almost taste a trade.

Hooray! No complete game today. Gosh, that's a small win for us right there.

Hmm, let's see, did I mention Gonzalez, let me check.

 

No I did not.

 

John Grabow. He is serviceable and can fill multiple roles.

I see your catching up on the thread but I agree with fathom, both the cubans throw alot of pitches and put people on base. They do get out of jams many times, but the point is they get in too many jams. Its seems they are always pitching with runners on base.

 

I agree about Hernandez but Contreras' WHIP is 1.21 (15th best in the AL). How is that putting people on base?

 

El Duque's is 1.63 for comparison.

Shingo looks like he may have found his release point...he looks better in his past 2 outings...hopefully it leads to better things for him.

what I can tell you is what I watch, I see runners on base alot when they pitch. I stand by my observation. You can disagree, doesn't bother me.

True, you didn't. But alot of people here seem to think gonzalez is available ( who is lefty also ).

He is in a mop up role, not closing. Its a huge difference. PS Giants with man on in the 11th.

I agree on Gonzalez, if you are saying he is likely not available. I don't think he is. Grabow I think they would trade if the got the right piece in return.

Let me throw this name out there, thought you would have bitten on this when I posted it before. Jamie Moyer. Available? Not available? Good fit here? You know Williams has always wanted him.

I realize that but he seems to be hitting his spots better and throwing more strikes esp with his breaking stuff....which is a huge difference from earlier...either way hopefully he gets it back the bullpen will need him.

The bullpen will need him ... or somebody else. Not trying to be doomsday here but the sooner the better.

I think he has a no trade. but I like the thinking. I don't think he will come here, he is really settled in seattle.

Good point, but KW is persuasive.

 

Not necessarily Moyer but a guy like that. A veteran with a rubber arm. Hate to mention his name but a Mullholland type guy, just saying his type.

I agree I hope he departs soon. PS twins coming up tied. Its not good. I don't have a good feeling.

Feliz GIDP, on to the bottom of the 11th in Minnesota.

Rachael Ray on The Food Network was a lot more entertaining than this game tonite.

fassero in his third inning. its not good.

I know its a long shot but how about Oliver Perez, he is struggling but maybe he can find his stroke after a change of scenery.

The one guy from the bullpen I wouldn't mind seeing traded is Marte...he is a total enigma..one day unhittable and the next getting rocked....the only problem is who do they get to replace him in the pen and who will trade a lefty for him...I would love to see Guardado but not sure if Seattle would trade him or not...

Let's get Lindsay Lohan. She will drool the hitters to death.
