Now, that skill set can sustain you through some modest superficial success in the short term (Towers '05), but I wouldn't want to base my career on it.<BR/><BR/>JWThe Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-14802849155821943182008-05-02T18:34:00.000-04:002008-05-02T18:34:00.000-04:00Couple things:Furcal might get that deal from the ...Couple things:<BR/><BR/>Furcal might get that deal from the Dodgas. He's getting 13 per season, so an extra 2 million wouldn't break the bank.<BR/><BR/>If they do re-sign him, I suggest going after Chin=Lung Hu for SS of the future...<BR/><BR/>And goin from A ---> AA is the toughest jump for a minor leaguer. So Snider's probably gonna take a while to adjust. I didn't know about the elbow, but from what I've heard about the kid he'd probably walk it off and told the manager he's good to go, and wouldn't use it as an excuse.<BR/><BR/>Twitch.The Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-51759682726865498622008-05-02T16:11:00.000-04:002008-05-02T16:11:00.000-04:00Two things:1. the White Sox series is a four game ...Two things:<BR/><BR/>1. the White Sox series is a four game set, with McGowan facing Vazquez on Monday. I think Saturday looks pretty bleak but we get pretty good matchups otherwise.<BR/><BR/>2. Furcal at 5/75? I don't believe it. Who's going to pay that? I don't see a money-laden team out there with the kind of cash to throw 15 per at a guy like Furcal. That's not to say I would be unhappy to see Greene in the Jays uni....but if you go that route, does that mean we regulate Rios to lead-off permanently?The Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-83706353192715783092008-05-02T16:10:00.000-04:002008-05-02T16:10:00.000-04:00What's the report on Rasner, just looking at his m...What's the report on Rasner, just looking at his minor league numbers for this year, he looks like a far better option than Kennedy? I don't know much else about him, so explain the Towers comparison for me please.<BR/><BR/>Read an interesting interview in the New Hampshire paper, Snider says he's developed a hole in his swing because he was compensating for his sore elbow. Sounds like not playing him to start the year would have been the far smarter route to go. Seems like JP may be pressing a little now, promotions seem to be coming much sooner than in the past.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436526634950464993noreply@blogger.com
