haha call em out tim!

i was positive about them picking up eyre, when we got him if you looked at his stats overall they were actually pretty good, he just had a handful of terrible games bringing them down.

I’ve been eating my words since the Milwaukee series, though I don’t think I had anything to say about the Eyre signing.

I think we have to fall in love with the idea of Blanton as a good 3, that’s what he was in Oakland and the only reason his value dropped was he failed when being asked to spearhead the rotation. He pitched better than we gave credit for with some health issues towards the end of the year and although he may not reguarly rack up the K’s he’ll eat innings in the 3 in a way very few pitchers can giving flexibiliy in the back-end. The last thing we want to do to a championship winning team is send the message you guys were good but were going to bump you a spot because we think your going downhill.

Yeah thats wierd, it happens to me too. I have some long post written and then I look and someone else already wrote it.

Yeah I know, I agree on Tazawa. I just dont see them outbidding anybody for a prospect. Albeit a very good one.

I liek Happ as well, but I feel that you need Blanton and Moyer to be your 4 and 5, not yoru 3 and 4. You need to improve the roation with someone to slot in at 3 minimum. you dont need to go all out and sign an ace because cole hamels has emerged as that guy we all thought he could be. But having another solid guy in there would be nice.

Unfortunately, I dont think theyll sign dempster. But they should trade for dye. he will be cheaper and better than burrell AND will allow taylor to develop into a full blown everyday player by buying some time.

I dunno what 2-3 type of guys are out there to trade for are affordable both in monetary value and in prospect cost.

I never thought Eyre would be the effective lefty we were looking for all through last year and we have to tip our hat to whoever it was in the organisation who knew Eyre enough to say all he needed was a chance to get some work in.

Geoff- The problem with signing a guy like Dempster is it blocks our prospects and handucffs the payrolls for a guy your reaching on, I’d like to see Carrasco get more development in but Happ and Kendrick will be handcuffed. We may not be excited about Blanton but he was our pick-up and Moyers too valuable in the back-end to let walk. Would much rather see us outbid for Tawaza than handcuff ourselves to a free agent with a big knock on him.

I almost always agree with you Geoff, it’s kinda weird, like there’s been times when I’m getting ready to post something, I’ll hit refresh, and you just posted almost the exact same thing.

Great minds, I suppose!
