June 25, 200422 yr I heard that WQAM is talking about us trading for Rob Mackowiak. Anyone hear this as well...just trying to confirm it.
June 25, 200422 yr If they are correct, I like the Name. He knows all of the OF Positions I think, and 3B (i think). He'd be a good bench guy or LFer.
June 25, 200422 yr also, he makes $400 K this year :-) i like the idea, assuming we don't give up a lot. he's got good power, and when the rest of his lineup was hitting in April and May, he was putting up solid numbers.
June 25, 200422 yr I heard that WQAM is talking about us trading for Rob Mackowiak. Anyone hear this as well...just trying to confirm it. That would be a useless trade. We don't need another bench guy, or 7th hitter with a mediocre BA. What we need is a true #3 hitter
June 25, 200422 yr Oh yes, I like that very much. So it probably won't happen :\ He could play right and Miguel could go to left...

June 25, 200422 yr no way do we need a number 3 hitter....we need a guy who is gonna drive in 40 + runs after the allstar break....maybe conine will do it...but mackoviach is a good name....he is a good hitter with some power and would fit nicely batting behind choi and before sea bass

June 25, 200422 yr We don't need another bench guy, or 7th hitter with a mediocre BA. What we need is a true #3 hitter you betcha !!! :thumbup :thumbup
June 25, 200422 yr What we need is a true #3 hitter Miguel isn't a true #3 hitter? :blink: at this point in his career it would prob be best to bat him 5th (im thinking that is what the concern is).....but he does just fine at the number 3 spot... that said, we just need a guy in the 6 hole who will drive in runs
June 25, 200422 yr What we need is a true #3 hitter Miguel isn't a true #3 hitter? :blink: No, Cabrera is better suited to hit 4th or 5th. He has good power, but K's way too much to hit in the 3rd spot. He also doesn't have the speed on the bases you might like to have with a #3 hitter. Can Cabrera fill in the #3 spot...sure, but he is not ideal. Can you imagine our line up if we could get a good #3 hitter, and move Cabrera, Lowell and Choi to the 4th, 5th and 6th spots? With Gonzalez and Redmond #7 and #8? The addition of a good #3 hitter will improve 4 spots in our line up. Adding another #7 option does nothing.
June 25, 200422 yr You bat your best hitter in the lineup third. Sure, Mike can put up the same numbers as Miguel, but Miguel is clearly the better hitter.
June 25, 200422 yr his numbers on the year .265/.325/.493/.818 12hr 37rbi if we dont give up anything major, why not?
June 25, 200422 yr his numbers on the year .265/.325/.493/.818 12hr 37rbi if we dont give up anything major, why not? If all we are doing is looking to replace Harris or WTFNunez, then sure, why not?
June 25, 200422 yr his numbers on the year .265/.325/.493/.818 12hr 37rbi if we dont give up anything major, why not? thats the only way i would like this deal..but the pirates are not going to give this guy up for stiffs...

Now that Beltran's gone the only big bat left is Finley, who I'm hoping we'll make a run at, but the chances aren't good that we end up with him.

Both are FAs after this year....so we should be able to get them for prospects.
June 25, 200422 yr I like the guy but I dont think the Fish really need him, I would take Conine over him if it came down to it. Also right now I am really starting to like Miguel in right field, he only has to work on showing a little more hustle but his arm is a huge asset for the team.
