Aaron Heilman? Sanchez? He would get rocked in the AL. Milledge? Nice prospect. Doesn't do jack for us this year and maybe next.

 

sanchez is stud, and, granted milledge may not help much this year. he's s***LOADS better than BA right NOW and has the potential to be a perennial all-star

You know this how?

You know this how?

The same way you KNOW that Sanchez would suck in the AL I guess.

How are you gonna tell a guy before the season starts that's he's gonna be in the 'pen, then mid-season throw him into the rotation when he's just now finally starting to adjust to his role?

Ask Fransisco Liriano how he handled that.

Try again Kalpse. I've seen you say the same thing about 15 other NL pitchers this year alone.

I would be extremely pissed if he trade Freddy. I am willing to part with Javy if the deal is good enough.

Give me a few names.

Milledge of the .283 OBP?

 

s***loads, huh?

Milledge of the .283 OBP?

 

s***loads, huh?

He walked 4 times in 94 plate appearances and displayed suspect defense in the outfield, I guess the 3 HRs in 85 ABs makes him better than Anderson.

I absolutely hate Javier Vazquez, but I would trade Garcia first if I had the chance.

 

Garcia is going to get much worse this year, and he's on the downswing of his career.

 

At least with Vazquez, he still has the stuff to possibly put in a good season.

Ask Fransisco Liriano how he handled that.

 

Liriano made his first start on May 19th. So that's not excactly mid-season. And, unlike Liriano, McCarthy has been average at best out of the bullpen. So we're just gonna assume B-mac does what he did at the end of last year if we just throw him into the rotation? That's pretty unrealistic. I realize his long-term future is as a starter. I just don't think he should be one in '06.

Maybe it's the sweet hair.

I didn't memorize the names. It wasn't that imporant to me. I just know you have. You know you have as well.

Quality starts stats are the most BS stats there are.

 

I think they are BS in comparing pitchers with each other, ie. Halladay and Garcia both have 10 QS in 18 games started, but I don't think they are BS wrt what that player does for a particular team. I don't care if it takes 11 htis and 4 walks to let up 3ER or less in 6 or more IP, as long as we get that result for the team. Freddy hasn't been great, nor has he pitched up to his capabilities or the money he earns, but he hasn't been awful either.

vs AL in 2006

 

Heilman 11.0 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 5 BB, 9 K, 4.90 ERA, 1.18 WHIP

Sanchez 6.0 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 4.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP

This is not true.

Comparing Liriano to ANYONE else makes a lot of sense.

You know this how?

 

like i've said before - bro's a mets fan, i hear almost as much about them as i do about the sox (hyperbole)

 

milledge is a five tool guy who's ranked #13 overall right now as far as prospects go. sure he wasnt amazing in his time up this year - but 12 ribbies, 3 homers, 2 doubles and 3 triples just goes to show what he is capable of.

 

(and in any case even his .233 average is better than BA's)

 

EDIT: oh and he's just turned 21

Funny, on another board I just saw a Mariners' fan propose this deal:

 

Garcia for Reed, Soriano, and Everett.

 

 

Soriano is a stud...And Baseball Prospectus told me that Reed is teh bestest prospect EVAR!!!

How many tools does Anderson have again?

That does not make him better than Anderson right now. He may have a much higher upside than Anderson but as of right now, I don't see how you can say Milledge and his 4 walks are "s***loads" better than BA.

Four.

Four.

 

Which one does he need to borrow?

ah and what about BA's .190 average?

 

and the 4 walks are in what, 86 at bats? BA's had 182...
