What team in baseball would claim Floyd with that three year guaranteed contract, knowing that even Cooper's struggling with him???

 

Well say someone takes him. Then what. Lance Broadway or Whistler. Come on. As bad as Gavin has been, some options are worse.

The "legend" of Don Cooper is taking a bit of a hit this year, not unlike Alan Greenspan.

Everyone on this board says it's a great deal. Why wouldn't The Nats or Pirates take a chance considering how hard it is to get Free agents to sign with them?

when are we going to learn to just BET against this team? we could all retire..

 

That would be dangerous with the Indians, because they always kick in into gear when they're pretty much dead and buried.

 

Thome is listening to SoxTalk advice to morph into a Lillibridge/Fields opposite-field singles hitter.

The Nats, maybe.

 

The Pirates, no way, not in this economy...

 

If his ERA climbs to Contreras territory (8+), it would be a REALLY gutsy move for another GM...maybe the Yankees would take a shot, too. Dodgers or Angels other possibilities.

Why would it be so gutsy. He won 17 games last year with an ERA under 4 in the AL. Unless you are dying to see Lance Broadway get Felix Diazed every 5th day I would rather see if Floyd is salvageable. 3/5s of our rotation is a mess right now and the team isnt hitting at all.

You know the one thing that really does bother me about Walker? He's too damn patient with these young guys. How long did it take to finally get Anderson to overhaul his swing? Ditto Fields. Ditto Lillibridge. These guys need (ed) some serious help and it took forever for it to happen.
