I would, just sounds like Cowley's saying it would blow people's minds, a la a major name. Edited July 30, 2010 by JPN366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Didn't know that, he was studly last year. He apparently is dating Rhianna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys see what Kemp did last year? 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.

sircaffey Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The Dodgers want a SP and acquired Podsednik. Hypothetically, there could be a match with them. Perhaps they want Jackson back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
