December 20, 200520 yr TSwift is a liar. He used my face and painted it black in Photoshop. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
December 20, 200520 yr I dont think anyone is hating on Gathright, just saying the trade the Devil Rays are expecting is highway robbery.
December 20, 200520 yr I dont think anyone is hating on Gathright, just saying the trade the Devil Rays are expecting is highway robbery. No there is genuine hate. You just called him an extremely poor man's Juan Pierre? That's a bit judgemental.

You just called him an extremely poor man's Juan Pierre? That's a bit judgemental. Well thats what he is at this stage of his career. Gathright hit .276 last year, has 0 power, doesn't even have Pierre's plate discipline, and doesn't judge fly balls as well. All he has is speed and nothing to really add to it where his speed is an advantage.
December 20, 200520 yr Hate hate hate. Stop hating on Gathright, you losers. It's getting old. I don't hate Gathright, I hate his game. At best, he's Juan Pierre (or Rickey Henderson without the power or patience). At worst, he's Eric Reed without the defense. More likely, he's Jason Tyner. Either way, there are alternatives available on the market right now and later for bargain prices.

December 21, 200520 yr Better option Jamal Strong - OF - Mariners Mariners non-tendered outfielder Jamal Strong. Strong deserved more of a chance than the Mariners ever gave him. Maybe one of the dozen teams apparently interested in Joey Gathright will take a look at him. He's not the defender that Gathright is, but he can run and he's currently the better of the two at getting on base.

I personally don't think so
December 21, 200520 yr Definitely worth a look and you'd think he'd be open to coming here as he'd have a chance to win a job.

December 21, 200520 yr I just read somewhere that Wily Mo Pena has or had requested a trade if he wasn't going to get regular playing time. Of course I am aware that they have traded Casey. However, given the fact that the Reds desperately need pitching, and would still have plenty of hitting even without Pena; wouldn't it make more sense to offer Olsen for Pena instead of Gathright? I'm sure they are going to want more than just Olsen, but maybe Olsen and Mitre would do the trick. Just a thought. I'm leary of trading away a top prospect for a lead off hitter without a proven major league track record, and a below average arm. I think we need a big power bat in LF to go along with Cabrera, Jacobs, Hermida, and Willingham. Dude I have been wanting the marlins to trade pitching for Willy Mo since last year. Big time bat....now thats a guy worth trading Olsen for.
