I dont like these ideas about trading to Montreal it seems like we are almost trading away the whole team. I would like to stick with the same guys. If anything only trade 1 for 1 with a prospect or 2. But I dont like trading 2 or 3 major leaguers.

 

Let the young guys develop another year?

It's Vidro and Colon dude. Why wait for Garland to maybe be almost as good as Colon? Vidro is better then any second baseman we've had since i've been watching this team over the past 20 years.

Better than Julio "The Juice" Cruz?????

I miss the Juice!

To me, were giving up Lee and Garland. Lee is most likely gone at the end of the season and well Colon is a stud, we'd be lucky if Garland would every reach that potential and then we get a guy like Vidro and Michael Barret. I just hope we don't give up any good prospects in return.

 

Oh ya, I disagree with anyone that says we bench Jimenez, this just means Jimenez leads off and Vidro hits in the 2 hole cause Vidro isn't a leadoff hitter.

Exactly....no way do we have Vidro leadoff....he is the perfect #2 hitter....Jose's pretty good too, and he showed us that in 2000, but I'd much rather have Vidro there....you get a .320 average compared to a .250-.260 average out of Jose, plus the same power production and run production to go along with better speed....I'm all for it.

 

However, if we want to keep Jose at SS, then we should then pick someone up that can leadoff for us...someone that has good speed and can draw a walk. And I really hate to say the person I am going to say, but.....

 

how about Rickey Henderson?
