June 22, 200323 yr Florida. "We've had some very encouraging signs," GM Admin Beinfest said. "We thought from the beginning that we'd go as far as our starting pitching would take us. Then we lost (A.J.) Burnett, (Josh) Beckett and (Mark) Redmond. But, fortunately, along came Dontrelle Willis, who's been a lifesaver. The rest of the rotation, including Tommy Phelps (signed as a minor-league free agent), has pitched well, and Beckett has one more rehab start. Miguel Cabrera has given us a shot in the arm; he's going to hit. But let's face it, we have to get to .500 before we start talking. We'll see where we are in another month. I'm not going to deceive anyone. We have some tough decisions to make eventually. To keep this team together would mean a tremendous jump in payroll." Other GMs have called Beinfest, but he hasn't made any calls ... yet. If they are out of it, then Mike Lowell, Derrek Lee and free agent Luis Castillo will all be available. They are eight games and six teams from the wild card, but the way they have played under Jack McKeon warrants the wait. In fact, Beinfest talked to the Padres about acquiring Rondell White. not sure if these Beinfest comments were already posted...
June 22, 200323 yr I don't want White :dont. If we are going to get another outfielder just pick up Kapler.
June 22, 200323 yr and (Mark) Redmond. Yea, REDMOND has been great... lol... But a good sliver of info, none the less...
June 22, 200323 yr I don't want White :dont. If we are going to get another outfielder just pick up Kapler. The kid couldn't hit in Colorado, why would he start it up at the Pro? :banghead :thumbdown
June 22, 200323 yr Pavano has also being good he has not gotten enough run support thats the reason for his poor record.
June 22, 200323 yr we have Cabs, and now with him starting, we have a good bench with Banks and Hollandsworth there
June 22, 200323 yr I think we have always had a good bench, it's just a little better... And man, does Cabrera look good... The next Aubry Huff?
June 22, 200323 yr Yea i rather get White than Kapler. Rondell will be great in our Bench and then we can trade Hollandsworthless....
June 22, 200323 yr the next Aubrey Huff? no thanks Id rather him be the next Pujols... yea good call AJ Rondell White would make $5mil for the bench? wow
June 22, 200323 yr the next Aubrey Huff? no thanks Id rather him be the next Pujols... Me too, but I said Huff because they have virtually the exact same stance, but Huff is a lefty, Cabs a righty... And Huff ain't too bad with the lumber himself...
June 22, 200323 yr don't forgot to post your source http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=1571426
June 22, 200323 yr is true Huff and Cabrera do have similar stances but i think Cabrera will put Pujos like number in the near future.
June 22, 200323 yr :mischief2 dont you think Miggy stands to far away from the plate? I know thats his style and he's doing well there, but do you think if he changed his stance just a little he'd have better timing on his swing and make better contact? ...sorry to get kind of off topic, but you were talking about Cab's
June 22, 200323 yr I dont like that stance either, but you dont mess with him. The guys got it together man.
June 22, 200323 yr i also read that..... but its nothing new to us..... we know if a month from now and we are not ova 500 Mike, Luis, and Lee are good as gone..... Gammons isnt a genious he just need to say something..... man makes me sick!!!!!! anywayz as 4 Rondell ya Yanks gave em away to the pads to unload his contract cuz he was a BUST in the pin stripes he isnt haveing a bad year thou 12 jacks around a 290-300 Batting Average,,,,, he is strait... but our OF is booked Miggy, Juan P, and Juan E.... no room 4 white..... Bul Pen after All Star Break 1.Mike Tejera 2.Almanza "he really does Suck" 3.Levrault 4.Phileps 5.Spoony 6.Toby Boreland now that Bul Pen looks real Good Xcept the iffy's in Tejera and Almanza... this really does look like a playoff caliber bul pen and with our pitching everything looks good
June 22, 200323 yr We most definately do not have a playoff caliber bullpen. The one area I don't think is playoff caliber... We need one more very reliable pitcher in the pen...
June 22, 200323 yr damn 4got about loop..... this is all a mind game... awwwwwwww god, tough choices have to be made in the pen..... how many people can you have in the pen 6? or 7?
June 22, 200323 yr almanza is good. just walks too much. alot of teams would like to have a guy like him. I think if he was more reserved to lefties he would be great. nonetheless, hes still quality.
