Sweet. Im really glad we got Hernandez back. Everyone thought it was a big mistake to let him go, and now we got him back. 25K is more than worth it.

That is now 4 ER in the last 46 IP for a team ERA of 0.78 over that span. WOW.

Newest fan club, just started.

If I recall, Broadway had a great start for us last year in his Majorlegue debut. I just looked up Broadway's major league stats. He only pitched 10 innings for us last season, and in 5 innings vs. Righties, Lance had 10 K's, and no walks. Holy s***. Talk about a Righty killer!

I would be happy with a split considering Oakland owns our ass.

In his first start at Class High-A Winston Salem, Poreda threw 5 innings (Game shortened by electrical failure), gave up 5 hits, 1 ER, 3 BB, and had 2 K's. Not good with those 3 BB. At least he didn't really let them score much, but still, 3 BB is not encouraging for 5 IP.

I couldn't get a shot from the other side because of course everyone wanted to view the thing from 2 feet away, completely obstructing everyone with a camera.

I think we need to see how Gavin does against teams that AREN'T the Tigers. No doubt he owns the Tigers, but lets see that transfer to teams like Oakland, Minnesota, Cleveland, ect.

Swisher coming up? He was announced injuried with a hipflexor. WHy risk this?

I bet either Anderson, Alexei, or both start today. OF - Swisher-Anderson-Dye IF - Crede-Uribe-Alexei-Konerko

I saw the Konerko one, not bad, but I've seen better.

Why isn't Ramirez batting 9th? I dont want Crede and Uribe hitting behind him, he will be stranded on base everytime. Put Alexei 9th, and let him get on base for Swisher or Cabrera to send him around the bases.

I think when Buehrle pitches however, we need Uribe and Anderson out there. Buehrle relies on his defense, and we need all we can get when he pitches. I think we put out the best offenses for Danks and Floyd who will need the run support, and put out our best defense for Buehrle who dosen't strike people out.

As much as I would like to think this would make a differnce, it won't. Otherwise, you wouldn't see Doug Eddings anywhere near a diamond anymore because im sure he got hundreds of emails from every angels fan, as well as the mass media that was going on during the "dropped 3rd strike" fiasco.

Man I really want to see these commercials. I loved the one with Freddy and Takatsu that was like Wasabi and Jalepeno or something like that.

He is currently a blocked prospect according to MLBTR - http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/03/blocked-prosp-2.html Lillibridge would be nice to acquire at the deadline, or in the offseason to fill the SS spot. If we can cut Cabrera lose, and Uribe is gone, Lillibridge could take over SS, and Ramirez can play 2B. That would be a pretty nice young infield of Fields, Lillibridge, and Ramirez (not Paulie). Lillibridge put up a .400 OBP in 2006, and in 309 Minor league games, he stole 105 bags, and had an 85% steal rate. Not sure what the price would be on Lillibridge, but if Escobar continues to play well, it will only help.

I guess they didn't throw breaking balls in Cuba.

The Freddy Garcia trade (both times) was pretty good. Jeremy Reed (hasn't done anything), Miguel Olivo (backup somewhere?), and Michael Morse for Freddy Gacria (Good Freddy who helped win us a World Series), Ben Davis, and cash. ALSO Freddy Garcia (Injuried) for Gavin Floyd (potentially good #4 starter), and Gio Gonzalez (got us Nick Swisher). Basically Freddy Garcia has been great for this organization.

It looks like 4 people with shaky hands accidentally clicked on the "Nick Masset" option and logged it in. This should be a no-brainer.

QUOTE(JorgeFabregas @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) 21. And he OPSed .319 in rookie league.

QUOTE(JorgeFabregas @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) As real as a heart attack. He had a few rookie league ABs last season and didn't do anything. How old is he? Like 16?

DJ - "And off his FRIGGIN hip". Haha. DJ didn't say a word the rest of the game. They probably cut his mic off. lol.

Javy Crede Yes

The only reason that Uribe is the starting 2B is because the org. dosen't want to rush Ramirez by throwing him into a starting job right out of the gate.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) Major League pitchers throw primarily 70-80% fastballs. Yea but at least those other pitchers probably have other good pitches to compliment. He basically just said all he has is his fastball, and if I read that, im sitting fastball every single time. If his other pitches aren't good as well, you won't have much trouble.
