Capn12 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ May 26, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) It's so hilarious that, at this point in the season, OC is universally loathed, and Linebrink's contract is the absolute least of our concerns. I'm not so sure about that...OC isn't a big concern right now because he's starting to hit. There are FAR bigger black holes in this lineup to sweat over...

Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ May 26, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) He reminds me so much of late 90's Ugeth Urbina. Fastball that moves on a horizontal plane - totally unpredictable. 2001-3 Dotel was about as unhittable as anyone while he was toiling as a set-up man in Houston. They had Lidge, Dotel and Billy Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Its really sad when the least productive part of your lineup starts with the heart of your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Paw Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 26, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) 2001-3 Dotel was about as unhittable as anyone while he was toiling as a set-up man in Houston. They had Lidge, Dotel and Billy Wagner. that bullpen was crazy. i remember a game where their starter got hurt in the first inning and their bullpen pitched a no-hitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Its time to bring fields up, I could care less if he Ks, the multimillion dollar thuds that are checking the backs of their cards K as well. At least he can hit lefties, and give us some power. This is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) realistically, if we draft a guy like smoak, alonso or wallace...that is a polished, fast track 1b...how long til we see him in the majors if all goes as expected? 2010? any hope for mid 2009?

Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Fields also didn't play today, I would suppose its to take it easy after his injury. So its not like you would be bringing in someone 100% healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
