I'm a big fan of Patrick Maroon. He's so much better than Staubitz at hockey, and he's a pretty solid fighter. Konopka is a veteran fighter, and Maroon beat him pretty easily in a fight today. He also likes to throw huge hits, and is great along the boards on the cycle.

He's very good defensively, and if he hits like he did in 2009 or 2011...he's more than adequate. His 2010 and 2012 seasons really sucked though. Here's hoping we get at least a .350 OBP out of him this year.

Perry will get suspended. You just know it

I agree AngelDuck...we need to fire this disgraceful manager immediately before he ****s up the team like Reagins did.

I agree Wallerrr

I hate the bashing for the fun of it.  Let's be realistic, Conger has had his chances.  He had a chance to stick in the majors 2011, he had his chance last year, and the back up catching duties is his to lose this year.  Please do not say it is Scioscia's fault if the kid blows his opportunities!

Storm, do you honestly believe Hester is a better option than Conger in any way, shape or form?

Conger is the new Napoli, and Hester is the new Mathis. It's really sad that a young local guy with decent upside with the bat isn't ever going to get a chance.

what does mike scioscia have to do with howie kendrick this season?

Maybe you should read the context of that quote instead of just randomly picking that out.

DSP and Maroon have been called up by the Ducks

the 2010 olympics started with getz/perry/staal but they actually did roll nash on their line for a bit.

it was insane.

Crosby was with Iginla the whole tourney. I have a feeling that since Iggy has declined...Nash might be playing with Crosby in next years olympics. We'll see.

We should just trade Conger for whatever already. It's clear he has no future in Anaheim. Let's at least give the kid a fair chance to succeed else where.

The Braves actually might have made a decent trade looking back on it. They traded for a reliever who struck out well over a batter per inning last year, and only gave up a pitcher who had a WHIP over 1.4, and has serious arm concerns

Edit: Not saying Walden is good at all. Just saying that he has upside judging by his K rates.

The other reason we need to keep Kole is because he provides backup in case Bourjos struggles again, or Trumbo has another 2nd half streak. I don't feel comfortable having just Wells as the backup OF when we have two pretty big question marks in the OF (Trumbo and Bourjos)

Good Lord. Crosby is just a ****ing animal. He's on a ridiculous point pace right now. 45 points in 26 games. Damn

I went to the game tonight. They started off pretty awful, but then turned it on after Cogs netted that shorty. Getzlaf is just a total monster. Hiller played pretty well I thought

The Oilers really helped the Ducks by  beating Chicago.

Well done Oilers!!

Congrats on the win bucbrett

One of Calhoun or Conger needs to make the team. We could use a little lefty pop off the bench, and they're both having good springs

We're toast if we have to go into the season with Blanton as our 4 and Richards as our 5

I can't wait for the olympics. Nash-Getzlaf-Perry is going to be such a dominant line. Canada should make that a line. They'd dominate anyone.

Never said it was a bad PR move. It's a very questionable baseball move to say the least.

Trade Wells while his value is no longer negative.

The officers are being punished hard I see. Coffee and donuts while filling out some paper work and collecting full time salary. Man, justice has been served.

I've long (well, in the last year and a half) said that Wells is the third worst contract on the team. The two others are 10 year deals.

I agree

9 more years...

We can't blame Reagins for this one...

Time to get our revenge for the 2010 winter olympics hockey gold medal game!

F'n Crosby...

I'm very concerned about Callaspo as well. Sub-.700 OPS out of the 3B position isn't what we should settle on.
