July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) It might not shock people, but it would make you say WOW....I don't know how you wouldn't say WOW if suddenly Matt Kemp was our starting RF... I would, just sounds like Cowley's saying it would blow people's minds, a la a major name. Edited July 30, 201015 yr by JPN366
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) I don't think he fits the "shocker" and "immediately considerably better" tags though though he's been better lately. Are you kidding me? Putting Kemp in RF and hitting Q DH would not make us better? Did you guys see what Kemp did last year?

July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:43 PM) Manny is on the DL and looks garbage this year, yes I said it. I just noticed he only has 8hrs this year...hurt that much?

Ya, he'd be an upgrade. I don't really care what he did last year, he's been disappointing this yr. Would I love to have him? Absolutely. But I don't think that's what Cowley was referring to.
July 30, 201015 yr The Dodgers want a SP and acquired Podsednik. Hypothetically, there could be a match with them. Perhaps they want Jackson back?

I agree with you about Cowley's wording, he made it sound like it would be a name casual fans would be familiar with, I would be over the moon for Kemp, but Manny would "shock" people more

But I don't think that's what Cowley was referring to. Ahh, I see....well, I guess it is all up for interpretation....it sounded like it would be a guy that is not exactly performing up to par to me though....because Cowley seemed to hesitate when describing the possible addition as not necessarily a huge producer, but more of a WOW, what is this?

He claims he doesn't know the name...but the way it was described to him was someone that would make you say Wow...not necessarily in an immediately overly positive way, but more of a holy s***, I can't believe we got that player type of way... That was just my impression of course.

In the morning he specifically said 'if i knew names I'd post them' or something along those lines.

Hard to tell, but I get the feeling he didn't know any specific names. And technically, he IS a source. He's there at the stadium and with the team every single day. He knows as much about the goings on in the organization as anyone. As much of a douche as he is, he knows what he's talking about.
July 30, 201015 yr I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him.
