It appears he going to sign with a team by weeks end. With Niner appear to be getting the duties at 1B against lefties. Should the Fish sign another veteran OF, like Raul Mondesi?

no thanks

 

he will sign with Anaheim anyway

nopers.

 

thanks anyhoo...

NO Why would we want to pay someone like him big bucks when a guy like Nunez has what it takes to play, and is much cheaper.

:lol

i cant see that as being nearly as high of a priority as getting some bullpen help. i'd rather we not go for him... we don't particularly need him or his baggage.

He could be used as bait mid-season...

I like it, it makes Nunez much more tradeable. Gives us perhaps the best throwing arm in the NL with Guerrero and Guillen gone, and he wouldn't demand much more than a few hundred thousand for the rest of the year.

 

Nunez has still yet to do anything when it counted, and when you're a week away from June, you can't point to Spring Training numbers. If Cordero is out until the end of July, and Conine is going to be the other first baseman, bring Mondesi in, it helps address two issues: our bench depth, and indirectly our bullpen.

If hes taking away 9ner's PA then I'm down.

Despite all the talk of distractions at home, the guy basically skipped out on the Pirates because he didn't like his contract. It's funny how his his distractions subsided as soon as he was a free agent.

 

With all the talk about our team chemistry, I don't want a guy like Raul Mondesi anywhere near our clubhouse, especially as a part-time player.

I think he is going to sign with the Red Sox anyways

doesnt he still technically have a contract with the pirates?

 

 

 

or have they outright released him from his contract?

I believe he was released

last i heard he was still on their restricted list.

ok i just checked.

 

 

ya his contract was terminated.

 

 

 

mondesi is a prick though. i dont want him anywhere near my team.

Mondesi is a Head Case

 

:banghead

 

 

not worth the trouble.

Mondesi > Conine

 

.... this is based on 04 Conine's productivity

 

 

And I know that Mondesi hasnt played much, but I believe that he will give us more production out of the 5th or 6th hole, especially if Conine platoons with Choi at first.

 

 

Or say no and give more playing time for Nunez ... to be honest I dont really care but productivity wise I believe that Mondesi could bring more to the table than Conine or Nunez or Cordero.
