July 12, 200817 yr if willy is hitting the way he is in coors field...imagine him in dolphinstadium :thumbdown Actually, the short fences in Coors are bad for all hitters except power guys. Coors is actually one of the larger parks in the league. It just doesn't always play that way.
July 12, 200817 yr cody might not be your typical CF with his speed but he gets nice jumps out there to cover real estate in Dolphin Stadium Taveras might cover the same ground but he takes bad routes and makes it up with his speed... cody is also a much better hitter even though he is streaky
July 12, 200817 yr if he is cheap it might be good to have the extra outfielder. Especially with speed. Unless we can get maybin up as the 4th guy later in the season.
July 12, 200817 yr if he is cheap it might be good to have the extra outfielder. Especially with speed. Unless we can get maybin up as the 4th guy later in the season. we already have a 4th man in Gonzo
July 12, 200817 yr if he is cheap it might be good to have the extra outfielder. Especially with speed. Unless we can get maybin up as the 4th guy later in the season. We have 6 guys that can play OF. He is crappier than crap taking a crap in an outhouse made of crap.

July 12, 200817 yr He wouldn't serve much purpose on this team, especially with us carrying 13 pitchers. He's stinking it up this year too.
July 12, 200817 yr The pitching situation is far from worked out. We could use some bullpen help for sure. Another starter as well, in case someone struggles or someone gets hurt. With Sanchez due back at the end of the month, we're going to have an overcrowded rotation as it is. Why on Earth would we need another starter?

You're making the assumption that everyone returns healthy and pitches well. This is the ideal situation, but not too likely.

Nolasco Olsen JJ Miller Volstad (Mitre) (Sanchez) Hendrickson Tucker I think we might have a couple of guys that could start if the injury bug bites us again

July 12, 200817 yr Taveras is someone you can buy low on. I would rather have him on my bench than Andino. Taveras:http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/stats/indi...&statType=1 Andino: http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/stats/indiv...&statType=1
July 12, 200817 yr he has nice potential, he is a very nice defensive player. He wouldnt be a horrid pick up
July 12, 200817 yr Taveras is someone you can buy low on. I would rather have him on my bench than Andino. Taveras:http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/stats/indi...&statType=1 Andino: http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/stats/indiv...&statType=1 i wouldnt andino is better defensivly and has started to shag fly balls in center Taveras stats are better because he has had more abs

I honestly don't know. I generally base my opinion on things written by people with a much better understanding of "numbers" than myself. And I've always read that Taveras is a solid defensive CF with a strong arm. I like Andino, but I feel better having Taveras backup center than a guy learning the position. Amazing becomes your fulltime utility IF. And having Taveras/Ross makes you OF very flexible. You also add a guy to your bench that is excellent at swipping bags. A nice luxury if you can get it. JMO.

Taveras:http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/stats/indi...&statType=1 Andino: http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/stats/indiv...&statType=1 thats what I was thinking. You are going to move some guys, he is going to be a cheap pick up. Defense is key and so is speed. You never know when you need it late in a season. a la David Roberts 2004

JMO. Ross is better at bat. Ross is better in the field. Ross is probably even more fun at parties. Since Taveras is from the DR, he's at least 2 years older than Ross. The team has 6 players that can play OF.

July 12, 200817 yr When did I compare Taveras to Ross? Didn't say you did, but spending anything on a marginal player with little upside that would barely play is just bad. He isn't worth the roster spot, much less anything that he would cost.
