Alexei may be the Cuban defecting version of Jose Valentin. a train robber mustache away.

 

that would instantly make him my second favorite player of all time to Jose Valentin

The concern about Ramirez is his ability to adapt to major league pitching. He's not seeing major league quality pitching yet. Of course, he's still ripping the ball, but I'll wait before getting too excited.

K.....in comes macdougal

MMac in.......................

MMac in.......................

1 pitch 1 double

5-5 .. woooooo

Just like that... Tie Game.

macs 2 fastballs have both been straight as an arrow...compared to what he used to throw...both were bp fastballs

 

the three curves he threw were nice though

Who else heard darrin jackson before macdougal gave up that home run? Laffs.

I had to laugh:

 

DJ:

"Mike MacDougal..............confidence..............he has it..........."

 

THWACK!!!!!

 

"....and we have a tie game at 5....."

Mac sure has been good this spring training. Almost as good as he was all of last season.

Ozzie and Coop both said in the paper he has the best stuff on the team. Great, he can join Mark Prior and Kerry Wood on the simulated All Star team.

McNoodle should be in Birmingham

We're spending a lot of money now on what's still a pretty weak bullpen.

They must be frequenting Soxtalk.

Um, the Giants' interest in Crede has been widely reported for quite some time. Months, in fact.

I disagree. I think it will probably be pretty strong - just as long as MacDougal isn't in it. I personally think a pen of Jenks-Linebrink-Dotel-Logan-Wassermann-Thornton-Broadway/Masset would be decent.

Like the last two seasons, it seems like it's Jenks and a crapshoot. Dotel staying healthy is one of the keys to our season. Linebrink is just not very good, and the rest of the guys you mentioned are huge question marks.

Did I need to put it in green? It is just being talked about a lot around here.

Daniel Cortes is gonna make the trade horrific.

Well there ARE a lot of moronic statements made on here, so the lack of green made me think it was yet another. And yes, sadly, Crede is going to get traded and that's the bottom line.

Career ERA of 3.21 for Linebrink. More than a half run better than Dotel (3.76), who you view as solid when healthy.

Of course they are question marks. That's the nature of the bullpen. But your statement that we are spending a lot of money on something not so good, is kind of early, isn't it? I think its really unlikely they'd do as bad as the 2007 pen. But we'll have to see.
