February 7, 200620 yr I used to watch Jimerson here in Lexington when he was playing low-A ball. Indeed, it would be a huge thing if he were able to turn the corner. Evidently the Astros feel the same way or he would have been let go a season or two ago. I'm aware that he spent last off-season getting personal coaching from Tony Gwynn -- if I'm not mistaken, Gwynn's son and Jimerson are good friends or something like that. Ummm... getting back to my highly unscientific polling... any great displeasure with a Taveras/Vargas trade, besides Festa who so proudly displays Vargas' jersey number on his sig line? :mischief :mischief :mischief
February 7, 200620 yr If it's Taveras straight up for Vargas, sign me up. Honestly, as polished as Vargas is, he likely won't be in the "best case scenario" rotation for 2008 which should likely be: Willis, Olsen, Sanchez, Petit and Volstad with Johnson, Nolasco, Pinto, West, Hernandez, Thompson, Tucker (and my dark-horse) Jeff Allsion all waiting in the wings. IMO putting together the best 2007 & 2008 teams are more important than having one more major league ready pitcher in '06. I'd do it, and say it's a fair trade for both sides.
February 7, 200620 yr Sorry if I seem unknowledgable, but are we talking about Willy Taveras? Yes. Damn CBL addicts.
