Wise's days are numbered.
Although Lillibridge might get optioned down again when we need a 5th starter soon.
Not until Wise learns how to play the middle infield.

seriously what is up with that.
Ideally, they should just focus it on D-Rose. He's the future of the franchise.
QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:46 AM)
I don't think so.
I thought they got Eric Patterson, Sean Gallagher, and some other guy.
Could have been Wuertz, but I'm not sure.
Josh Donaldson, a catcher with a great approach at the plate.

I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong.
Nope, got him in a deal for Richie Robnett and another minor leaguer.

Lots of Walker love in the booth tonight. BTW, I note Huff & Hawk sat next to each other. Why do Stone & Hawk sit at opposite ends of the desk?
The booth at the Cell has more room in it then the road booths.

So what do we do with Alexei? It's clear he's not the SS we thought. Move him to 2B and put Beckham back at SS? What do we do with Getz then in this case? Ugh.
I think you have to play out the year like this. Make the change in spring, try to find a 3b, and try to get Getz as many AB's as you can.

Fully agreed. Huff is brutal.
I don't see why they couldn't get Robin Ventura for the broadcast. He's actually really good, and he lives in the area.

What's Ozzie doing?
Matt Thornton in the 7th? That probably means Linebrink or Dotel might pitch. Ugh...
I’m going to drop a bit of a bombshell here, but Dotel is actually kind of a good pitcher.
