December 21, 200520 yr KW should pick up W.Miller and let him heal this year and he could be in the starting roation next year.Miller can be insurance if The Count and Garland both want to test FA next year.
December 22, 200520 yr Byrnes would be a good pick up specially if Anderson struggles. Maybe Dye can recruit him to us.
December 22, 200520 yr We don't need to sign any stinkin players... especially for the OF where Borchard will be the 4th man. Edited December 22, 200520 yr by elrockinMT
December 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) What about Byrnes as a replacement for Perez, and Bradford as a replacement for Viz if the price is right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the Rays just got Burroughs for absolutely nothing? Interesting. The Padres would want to be rid of Burroughs that badly?

December 22, 200520 yr Olivo has fallen of the earth, S.Camp could be a cheap good arm in pen.W.Miller worth a flyer.
December 31, 200520 yr Bradford, Fogg, and Camp I could all see signing minor league contracts. All have potential to be servicable out of our pen. Some work with coop can rescue anyone.

January 3, 200620 yr You are insane. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like Widger and it's too late to get Olivo now but check out Olivo's career splits versus lefties... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7028/s...er&type=Batting career vs. Left: .910 OPS career vs. Right: .569 OPS He would have truly made the perfect platoon partner for Pierzynski.

Except wasn't the big knock on Olivo that he sucked at calling games? Everyone wanted to throw to Alomar instead of him. Perhaps if AJ gave him some pointers, but Widger is the man.
January 3, 200620 yr There's a reason Olivo was on 14 teams in 2 seasons. It's because he sucks a whole hell of a lot. Nobody wants him, and we have Widger. That guy can actually call a game.

Padres liked him I thought but idonno he wanted some more money or something I guess. He is a nice backup C just when used as a starter :puke

Padres liked him I thought but idonno he wanted some more money or something I guess. He is a nice backup C just when used as a starter :puke I was clearly joking with the number 14. You knew that. Olivo was replaced by Doug Mirabelli, a back-up catcher for which the Padres traded their starting 2B. I honestly doubt they thought highly of him. Then, he gets picked up by a team that is in complete rebuilding mode that would take just about any cheap player that can clog a hole for a couple years. When their next catching prospect is ready, Olivo will be out on his ass again hoping to sign with another rebuilding team.
January 3, 200620 yr I'd take Widger over Olivo for 2006 in a heartbeat. There's a reason Olivo has gone from Chicago to Seattle to San Diego to Florida in just a couple of seasons. He has a cannon hanging from shoulder, but there is something missing.

No, he would make a horrible platoon partner. He can't call a game, he's got a gun but he can't catch the damn ball. Widger is so much better then Olivo it's not even funny, and I love Miguel.

Yeah, that round thing above his cannon-dangling shoulders.
January 3, 200620 yr Widger is the single greatest catcher of all time. Accept this and move on. He aint being touched.
