2004 lineup brings back memories with Erstad, Eck, Garret, Salmon, Glaus, and of course Vladdy. Kind of the last time all the core players from '02 were all together.
This thread has prompted me to look up his MiLB #'s, and they look pretty good. It's hard not to like someone with an eye at the plate. Also looks like he might have some legs. Tore apart the PCL in 12 games.
Still doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell.
Anyone happen to catch Lackey start for the RedSox today? Only pitched 1 inning. Loaded the bases on 2 walks, a single, and one HBP. Managed to get out of the inning with only 1 run scoring.
You see, this is who we should have traded Morales for.
Interesting. We always have more room for someone who throws strikes.
EDIT: Interesting point. He certainly doesn't strike many people out with that 94 MPH fastball of his.
