FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I can't believe that we went out and sold Kevin Millar to the BoSox, only to take part of that money, and sign his 'replacement', the god-awful Hollandsworth. Couldn't we have come up with the million to keep him? He's doing just fine in Boston. Now Hollandsworth's $1.5 million is sitting on the bench, and Cabrera's doing better in 2 weeks than Todd did all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Yea but whats done is done. At least we are 3 games out of the WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Fillet Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 You can't view H-Worth as the player the Marlins got in return for MIllar's money. That money is going to Redman, and he's doing great, thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 The reason I consider him to be Millar's replacement is because they both played the same position. I guess it's better to think that the money is going to Redman, considering his 7-3 record with the 2.80 ERA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 It's all good though.....Cabrera has stepped up in LF so Hollandsworth is expendable, maybe the Dodgers or someone who wants a decent bat will give away a pen arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 That would be nice...we could use the power, but I doubt Billy Beane's that dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHands69 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Who knows if Millar was here maybe Cabs would still be in the Minors? I rather have Cabs here, he can play multiple positions as can Millar but Cabs has a much better glove. Millars arm was weak and Cabs has a very solid arm. Cabs might not be batting as good as Millar but I believe his offense will come around when he gets more and more AB's. Cabs has a chance to be a very special player and along with Willis has really sparked this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Fillet Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Dunno about that, slaphands.... I'd much rather have Millar in teal than Cabrera right now. It's all about production, and Millar is unconscious this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 What I meant about we need the power is that when Dye is healthy and playing well, he's hitting 20-25 jacks a season. However, he hasn't done much for the A's this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Yeah, I noticed, a little late...but I agree, WE NEED BULLPEN HELP. I was at the Pro last Wednesday and watched Armando Almanza blow the game with a homer to RAFAEL FURCAL. It was awful to watch, considering the fact that he blew a nearly flawless performance by Willis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurableTear Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 We need a bullpen. You see the starters get overworked for that reason. McKeon knows that the bullpen gives him a 10% chance to win and a 90% chance to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 We almost lost the game on Saturday because of people like Tejera, nearly blowing the three run lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Pro last Wednesday and watched Armando Almanza blow the game with a homer to RAFAEL FURCAL. It was awful to watch, considering the fact that he blew a nearly flawless performance by Willis. Almanza's main purpose in the bullpen is that: give the other team the opportunity to win the game, period. We need a better bullpen. We cannot continue to have our starters go 9 innings and throw 200+ pitches every single night. At some point they are going to tire, and that's when you need a good bullpen. We need to improve that bullpen... please :confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurableTear Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 We almost lost the game on Saturday because of people like Tejera, nearly blowing the three run lead. I have to say, if Tejera wasn't a lefty, he would be down in AAA right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 We need to trade Hollandsworth and ge a solid Relief Pitcher in return because our bullpen really Sucks. Hollandsworth has been a real Bust and is aving a real bad year and we should do everything we could to trade him. He is just sitting on the bench doing nothing and we are paying him 1 Million for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHands69 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I have to say, if Tejera wasn't a lefty, he would be down in AAA right now. Hell ya he would! I am sure Admin knows this and during the Break will try to look for some help in the pen for a bargain. Maybe if the Reds keep falling maybe Mckeon will tell Admin to try to get Williamson.

AJBurnett34 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I dont know what is wrong with Tejera! He used to be good when he was a starter. He was untouchable and now all of a sudden he gets Racked everytime he pitches. He needs to start pitching good and lead our bullpen. I hope our pitching coach can work with him for a little while because he has great stuff and can help us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL how much money would Chuck Finley want? J/K. But seriously I think Admin is looking into some possible deals to help our pen. He knows thats an area of concern. I have faith in him to pull some bag of tricks. :magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
