June 25, 201016 yr i will not sleep well until strickland, wood, houser, bonifacio, and barden are off this team.....i just dont get it. we have very capable replacements in the minors yet they are still sitting on the buses.
June 25, 201016 yr Championship. It seems like you say this at every move, but your sarcasm isn't warranted. All these smaller moves add up to great results. Maybe not Benitez by himself, when you add in Barden, Luna, Strickland, Hauser, Benitez, Sosa, and Mike Lamb, you start to see what I'm talking about.
June 25, 201016 yr The problem(or at least part of) the front office faces is everyone they contact or who contacts them want probably the same four or five players, led this season by Morrison just like in the past it was Stanton, so one of the things they have to do is go into the hinterlands and scour for the Armandos and Mastnys of the baseball world in hopes one of them proves to be more than their original intent was when they were signed. It's a problem that emanates from not having enough depth at the major league level in the first place and that is a problem I would lay at the doorstep of ownership and senior (non-baseball) management. $2-3 million more (whether it comes administrative or back office cost-cutting or economies) in payroll could have meant one or two more competent arms in the bullpen.
June 25, 201016 yr Whatever happened to Rob Nen and Matt Mantei? What's Brian Harvey doing these days?:mischief
June 25, 201016 yr A 55 y/o Benitez is much better that all the crap we have seen coming out of the bulpen at least can't be any worse
