The Monster is my Mom

They would use him the way they used Rich Aurilla last year, as a 1B/utility infielder - like you said TNS.

we can't keep trading away pitchers. Look at the mess we got into last year.

isn't he the guy from the 70's show??

oh, I see your point. I am a little worried about that, though it will be nice to get Zumaya healthy.

The World Series starts next Saturday night no matter what happens in the NLCS

don't forget about clement

you guys are all a bunch of f***in' girls

Verlander isn't technically hurt right now. The Tigers just skipped a start to keep his innings down since he has never pitched more than a 150 innings in a season. That said, I think if Verlander keeps up his pace and gets 20 wins for the best team in baseball he will be a lock for ROY and be in the top 3 or 4 for the AL Cy Young.

not to nitpick, but it was 'closer by committee' back in 03, not bullpen. All bullpens are a committee.

so was it Adam Stern that we gave up for him?

That sucks, I thought HR did a really good job, especially compared to the other guys on the show. I wish they would fire Tino.

does Arod has a no trade clause?

Vazquez has proved he can't handle the high pressure environment that is present in Boston/New York - probably not a good idea.

only if you never post again either

Ya, Damon was a bad example. I know you are against trading Trot and I think Trot deserves better than being traded in mid season...especially for a guy like Abreu. If he was in a trade for a good pitcher (ie Schimdt, Smoltz) I MAY be able to understand it, but not for Abreu.
