ryan ludwick. heard that name on mlb radio this morning..
Stinks
That was succinct.
I agree, by the way.
Cliff Lee last night looked like the 2009, weak contact outs, version, as opposed to the 2010 strikeout machine version we've seen a lot. Whatever works. Glad Charlie didn't take him out after the 7 balls to start.
I think lee is at his best when he's getting guys out early in counts. he's always around the plate, so if he's getting guys to make weak outs early in ABs then you know he's on his game.
he's definitely picked it up, which is great to see.

Willingham would be my first choice, then Cuddyer. With Cuddyer at least you've got a guy with a decent bat who can fill in for Polanco and Utley when you want to give them a rest as well.
i agree.
don't you think the twins feel like they have a shot at winning that division now though?
the twins aren't winning shit. I've never been a cuddyer fan. though I'd take him in a heartbeat over ludwick
beltran would be my first choice. he would significantly improve the OF defense in the corners (much needed). and he's a switch hitter. willingham would be my number 2.
The Twins could definitely win the Central, and lose 3 straight to the Yanks.
I agree about Beltran. Do we have the $6 to $9M for the rest of the season? Or make the Mets pay for part of it? Would the Mets trade him here?

That entire division stinks, so I guess anything is possible. I think it's gonna be the tigers or maybe chisox though. The twins are the definition of average.
Not sure about beltran's salary. I thought he was owed 9 mill htis year, so I would think he's got around 4.5 left. Not sure about any of that though. Who knows what the mets are capable of doing. If it's a good trade for your team I never understood the opposition to trading within a division. Isn't the GMs job to get the best haul in a trade? All I know is that I miss omar and phillips

That's my whole point about the Twins - why trade away when you have such a shitty division up for grabs?
Beltran is making $18M this year I believe, which is the big problem with trading for him.

I'll take any of our corner OF's over Bradley, not even considering his personality.
Lee has a chance at 200 K's - sounds like a power pitcher to me.

a team with WS aspirations shouldn't be shooting for a 500 record vs anyone.
I'm sure amaro knows the lineup sucks and he'll make a move. I just can't stand watching the phils try to hit right now.
we already have the best record in baseball - how much do you want? and that is with 6 guys on the DL so far. chill and enjoy the wins now. time to stress will be september-october. now it's just fun.
I want them to be a complete team that's capable of winning it all. right now they are far from that.
may will be a good test for them. like I said before...the offense sucks and people are in for a rude awakening once they start playing real teams in may. I honestly believe that the braves will be in first place by memorial day
most frustrating thing about this board is that so much crap gets misconstrued and misinterpreted.
should be a fun TV night with the phils and draft.
it's all for charity anyway.
yeah i am looking forward to it.

Ah fuck, I just heard Tits McGhee on the TV say, "With Contreras's injury, you'll probably see David Herndon's role expand." Fuck.
I think contreras may be done. They were saying his season could be over last time he went to the DL. They need bullpen help too. In a playoff series they could be down to madson, stutes, and bastardo as their only competent relievers...and two of those guys are still mostly untested in playoff situations (bastardo has some experience). I'm not counting on lidge giving them anything this year.
maybe they can use his money to get someone that's competent offensively (and defensively) in the corner OF spots
and polanco in the 5 spot just doesn't work. 138/212/276 from that spot in the lineup. horrible. the guy should never be hitting in the middle of the order
maybe they can use his money to get someone that's competent offensively (and defensively) in the corner OF spots
unless he retires, which i doubt he will, we couldn't use that money. right? :? i think a josh willingham type player is all we need anway.
shut him down. with any luck he can contribute down the stretch. thank god we have young clifton.
3-3 on this trip. left 5 games up. coming back 4 up. not bad. hopefully the phils can beat up on the a's this weekend before those turds from boston come to town.

a power pitcher that throws 92. never seen one of them before...that's a new one.
greg maddux struck a lot of guys out too. I guess he was a power pitcher too
not that it's a big deal (we all say dumb things from time to time) but you did say this:
