southsideirish71 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) We didn't trade for Floyd to be in the bullpen. If he's there, I want Williams to own up and admit he drastically overrated Floyd. Someone has to be held accountable when people fail at evaluating players. I can't wait to see what we do with our top ten draft pick next year. I expect an absolute stud that will help us in less than 2 years with a top ten pick. I am sure however we will pick some signable guy who will take below slot money. Someone who probably thought they would go 2nd or 3rd round and will be happy just that they made it in the first round. Toolsy is what we will hear, and no one would of ever heard of him.

southsideirish71 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Can someone explain why the glass brothers(pods and grinder) are staring just about every game. This just tells me that KW will bring both of these turd back for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he was probably given some advice. He just seems to have no strength behind his swing. He looks more like Otis Nixon than anything else right now. Between him and Owens, there's no way you can actually think you can compete for the AL Central last with those mediocre players as full-time starters.

The RBI total between our leadoff hitters and the opposition must be mind-boggling. Pods sure took his time with that twirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your high expectations. Although, let's be realistic here. I'm sure next season will be considered one of the weakest draft classes in years. It would only be appropriate for the one draft we're in position to have a high selection is the one where the talent is baron. If we pick at 10, they'll be no Tim Lincecum available. You just know it. They'll be no, "talented player who drops due to signability" such as Rick Porcello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see what we are getting for next year, find who is on the 60 day DL or find out who is injured for the year right now. Lightning in the bottle is our method.
