Do you mean to tell me we can't just, you know, make trades because it makes sense for US ?!?!?

July 31, 200520 yr what no baj? where is the Baj? the greatest pitcher in minor league history. Nobody wants the Baj? poor Baj. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where is that "I'm not trying to start something" post when I need it??
July 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) Where is that "I'm not trying to start something" post when I need it?? nobody talks about "the baj" except this board. Nobody.
July 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) nobody talks about "the baj" except this board. Nobody. A relief propsect without electric stuff won't be talked about much, doesn't mean he can't pitch though, cause he can.
July 31, 200520 yr nobody talks about "the baj" except this board. Nobody. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only one person is talking about him now. What you are trying to impart in your own sweet way is that Baj does not have the lofty value to other teams as this board expects. But that must be Ozzie's fault, because he has a hard on for Baj, and likes Timo's ass and Adkins is a fun guy to be around, etc, right?

July 31, 200520 yr yes your right in triple A. He will never make it at least not long term.. not happening. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And there you have it folks, The 11th Commandment.
July 31, 200520 yr I think I may quaff a few before the game tonite, this was freakin' exhausting today!
July 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) yes your right in triple A. He will never make it at least not long term.. not happening. I'm not talkign stats, I mean the guy knows how to pitch. If he gets a shot somewhere in the majors he'll be solid imo.
July 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) Or makes an error! Is Kenny and Ozzie seeing things we're not comprehending . We see Gload as a future star and Ozzzie and KW refuse to keep him up long enough to prove himself. Adkins will come up and probably not start but be used in long relief era 5.58 would this be better than Bajenaru's 1.15. Burke when he was up last year he consistently hit around .300 when there was a choice of keeping him up or Davis. playboy D won they gave Davis a million like timo. I don't frankly understand. :headshake

What I am saying is he won't make it and its time people realize that just because you post decent numbers in triple A doesn't mean it projects to the majors. The only people talking about him, is this board. Sorry truth hurts.

You know exactly what I'm sayin', take it easy on yourself.

July 31, 200520 yr Well I do not see Gload as a future star nor do I believe he will be a regular first baseman at anytime, unless an injury occurs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This was far too kind of a response from you, considering what you were actually thinking.
July 31, 200520 yr I wish I had something more to say than "Adkins sucks", but really, nothing more can be said. He's had one good year in his professional career (2000). Since then, the best he's done is a 3.69 ERA. Everything else has had his ERA above four. Calling up Adkins over Diaz/Fields/Baj/Munoz makes zero sense.
July 31, 200520 yr Calling up Adkins over Diaz/Fields/Baj/Munoz makes zero sense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some guys might not be feeling well, or might have just pitched and can't give the Sox a few innings over the next several days if needed. There are lots of factors at play here Keith. This is definitely not something to get upset over, he is a fill in guy just like the others are fill in guys. He will probably be here for a short time, until they can land another relief pitcher.

PS Munoz will never make it either nor will diaz.
