TCQ Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 If i were to write up a petition and send it in to K Dubs to sign my favorite Rhode Islander, sorry paulie, would anyone sign it? OR would i have to go Chicago style and forge a bunch of dead peoples signatures? Hes only twenty seven and hed be pretty low risk, unless something has changed in his contract/free agent status i think hed be a good option to see how spring training goes and maybe get a shot in center and perhaps bat second.

I have no idea what any of this means. All I know is we don't need to add another OF, we need to be subtracting Of's to fill another hole.

I agree but if/when griffeys long gone id rather have him in center than swish or bander. Hed be relatively cheap and bring some speed to the lineup, thats it. Edit: I thought hed be low risk because he did show he could play this year and with his history i cant see him being very expensive or having the right to ask for a lot of years thats why . Sure theres risk involved but not that high imo. Edited October 25, 2008 by TCQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this year where he saw limited action he always had a very good range factor. He led the league in 2004 for cf. Why cant he overcome this mitochondrial stuff and do it again?

Would be a nice bat off the bench, Id have no problem with him and Brian Anderson as bench players or if Anderson is gone than Cook maybe.

Hasnt he spent a good part of the last 3 years on the DL as it is? I mean, the idea of this thread is to throw money at a guy who has blown out his arm already and now has a mitochondrial disorder that tires him out. I agree Steve, Baldelli is going to be one of those "what could have been" players after he retires in a year Edited October 26, 2008 by kyyle23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
