Thad Bosley Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Putz will eventually be as instrumental to any success this team achieves almost as much as anyone else on this roster. He really has been that good and reliable in the often underestimated role of long relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) I really don't want KW to give up hudson or viciedo. Also loving Lillibridge looking like a mlb contributor We don't need Adam Dunn anyway, we got The Bridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFirebird Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) Putz last gave up a run May 7th, and today is July 7th?? Back end of this bullpen can just be scary for opposing teams. If only Peavy didn't get hurt and we had 1-2 more hitters...we would be in contention.

caulfield12 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) I was actually thinking the same thing. If Lillibridge did this kind of thing for the Twins we would be like...who the heck is this guy and how is he just hitting it all over the yard?

IamtheHBOMB Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Was Lillibridge really highly regarded as a MLB prospect at some point? I know when we got him as part of a package for Javy that the Braves had soured on him. I wonder what the projections were for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Bartlett was great last year, slumping a lot this year...in the 220's for most of the season, and not nearly as good defensively either. One of the big mysteries with the Rays' team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rays, Marlins and now the Reds have shown you CAN build a good team through the draft and a couple of smart trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the A's for most of the decade, the Angels (although they have a big budget), Twins, Brewers and the Rangers have really become an interesting organization. Of course, the model for all teams to emulate is the Schuerholz/Atlanta Braves model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
