Messy situation at 1B

We've reached code Red. I repeat: Code Red.

Your turn.  Did you do some catching that one year in little league too?

No, that was the coach's son. He was pretty good for an 11 year old. 

Great resume but it still doesn't bolster your argument.

You dont understand then.  I am not arguing that I am "right".  I have said it a hundred times now and have explained why I think why I think.

I will believe the 6 man rotation when I actually see it.

Now go ahead and ask me for proof or mock me or accuse me of bullying.

Thus is fun.

I was the mop-up pitcher on my high school team. At times I actually sat on the bench hoping for a blow-out from either side just so I could pitch.

I played JV.  I couldn't hit.  I sort of played one season of "varsity" winter ball but realistically they had me on the roster because I had a big car to drive players to away games.  There were no busses for winter ball games.  In the Spring, busses available. . .I got cut.

Glad for the experience regardless.

Holy shit!

Does this top Laura Diaz, three Porsches, and a beach house?

It is close B.

Can a mod please change Dtwncbad's screenname to InDaBiz

[Brandon]

Patiently waiting for him to drop his twitter handle and start a post with, "Well, if you were to follow me on twitter..."

Definitely outadabiz.  It's been half a lifetime since.

Much more fun being a fan and drinking a cold beer in the stands.

We picked up 3 good relievers last year for practically nothing. Plus he suggested eating some of Valbuena's salary.

You're confusing our GM's skills with getting another GM to take Valbuena.

Nah, just saying Eppler can get a RP on the cheap, I could care less what they get or don't get for Valbuena.

In my six years of little league and pony-colt, I pitched one inning in relief. Walked one, gave up one hit, struck out one, and allowed zero runs. Got the win.

My wife said I was a superman. I said really, how's that? She said yeah because I was as fast as a speeding bullet.

If only "Pump and Dump" Tank could take advice from him.

One time I was in the checkout line
behind Steven Seagal. Once I'm pretty sure Mr. Jonah Hill was in the very next bathroom stall.  My best friend's brother
well, he was an extra in Wayne's World 2. My neighbour's baby sitter dated three of the guys in Motley Crue. I swear Jack Nicholson looked right at me at a Lakers game.

Show a little respect. 

Tank prefers to be called either "Shoot & Scoot " or "Sexit & Exit"

"Scores then snores" always worked best for me.

Cozart is the biggest wild card for us...

He will start at 3B and can play SS

Someone like Cowart can back up at 1B, 3B, and 2B.

 

I still think we see a six man pen.

SP: Richards, Heaney, Othani, Skaggs, Bridwell, Shoe (6)

RP: Bard, Bedrosian, Johnson, Parker, Middleton, Ramirez (6)

Starters: C - Maldonado, 1B Cron, 2B Kinsler, SS Simmons, 3B Cozart, LF Upton, CF Trout, RF Calhoun, DH Pujols (9)

Bench: Perez (C), Cowart (2B, 3B - LHH), Valbuena (1B/3B LHH) - 4th OF?

I could see us signing Alexi Amarista (he can play 3b/ss/2b/ and 3 OF spots) or Jose Reyes (3B/SS/2B) or Jon Jay or Alex Pressley to handle the OF spots.

If you sign some like Amarista, then you leave Cowart in Triple A, keep Valbuena and move to a 7 man pen.
