  1. Tito should bring in Wake if we close the gap a bit.
  2. I have no problem with the strike 3 call. AGon's approach in that AB sucked so hew shouldn't have whined about it.
  3. If Beltran's hand is fully healed, his September performance should leave Reddick in the dust. Taking into account that Beltran's August OPS is about 170 points higher than Reddick's, the fact that he has fewer extra base hits must be attriibutable to the time he missed do to the hand injury.
  4. Even the injured Beltran has been better in August than Reddick by a substantial margin and I think that will continue in September. If Beltran was too expensive for Theo's tastes, there were other options. If he had pulled the trigger on Beltran, and Beltran died the next day in a paddle boat accident in the Boston Commons, I would not be criticizing Theo.
  5. I hate interleague
  6. I said that I would give you the last word, but you should understand that my criticizing the FO for not getting another OF and evaluating the Giants' trade are two separate issues. I'm not looking to justify their trade or not. I really don't care. IMO, it's just stupid to fault a GM based on the guy getting a random injury for which he has had no history. And I still want an OF upgrade. Two separate issues. Let me tell you what I think you think since you constantly tell me what I think. I think you want to think that Wheeler is a prime "can't miss" prospect so you can feel better about Theo not getting the Sox a RF which they desperately need. That's annoying isn't it? I don't care if Wheeler turns out to be Lincecum, it will not make me feel any better about our RF situation and it will not make me less critical of the FO regarding the issue.
  7. Gardner is just the kind of guy that Cashman will package together with 1 or 2 overblown killer B prospects for an elite player. After the trade, Gardner would toild on a second division team as an unspectacular platoon/4th OFer and the prospects would never materialize. If it happens, it will be a brilliant move by Cashman, who we should woo right after Theo goes to the Cubs.
  8. How many more times do I have to say it. I think it is pretty clear what I am saying, but you apparently have interpreted another meaning. That's not my problem. Emmz, I understand your frustration. Pal, ORS Spitball and others you can take the last word telling me what I mean. I already said it very clearly and often. :dunno:
  9. In August since the trade, he batted .300 with a .773 OPS-- not bad for a guy with an injured hand. Reddick was healthy in August and he batted .208 with a .603 OPS.
  10. He went to the Mets organization. There's a good chance that ... Well, ... he becomes a Met.
  11. I didn't realize that it would be illogical for the Giants to keep their best prospects and part with a prospect, who they may have determined internally wasn't going to progress although he was highly ranked. It's called selling high. Let me state again for you since you seem to have missed it in my prior posts. I have no position on this kid. I'm just noting that as of this season his reviews were not universally glowing.
  12. Look for it yourself. It's out there, and that's all I was saying. I didn't say that I agreed with it. I never followed or watched the kid. I just pointed out that it was out there. Tonight, you are like one of those monkeys on the keyboard that you mentioned in the other thread. Keep twisting what I say and telling me what I think, and I guess you must be smarter than me. Case closed.
  13. Thank you Bobby Jenks-- for nothing.
  14. Since Reddick started his slide after his 5 RBI game on July 25th, he is hitting .184.
  15. Please don't generalize about me. As for the discussion about this prospect, I'm not "lock-stock- and- barrel" behind anything. I was just pointing out to those who think the Mets scored a big prospect that there is another point of view about the guy. It's not my point of view. As I said earlier, I never followed the kid's career and I have never seen him pitch. I can assure you that I didn't research thousands of prospect evaluations on the guy. It came up early in my search. I see no reason to think that the opinion of the evaluator in question is any less valid than other evaluations.
  16. I think as little of those as the ones that indicate that Gardner is the best LF.
