    Linebrink is much greater than Balfour. For that reason alone I think we have to like this trade. Brewer fans are not used to being on the short end as a buyer. This is what its like to be in a pennant race in the year 200_. Linebrink has some great stuff. 94-97 MPH Fastball, throws a splitter, and a pretty good changeup. He has closer stuff.

    I see no reason why Linebrink cant be the closer next year if we dont get Cordero back. If Linebrink wasnt setting up for Hoffman, he would be closing already.

    sorry got cut off by arguing wife. REALLY irritating me now.

    Inman was helping us get nowhere this year. We have a chance now

    This is a prime example of why players may choose to not get to know reporters on a personal basis and keep the interviews only work related. I hope his visit to the lake isnt ruined now.

    Very good? That was the best run ever! 2 Time rolaids relief man of the year and a CY Young Award winner as a relief pitcher. Now he is picking up right where he left off - after the injuries of course. He still has alot of life left in him.

    Fair and good points. The 2nd part of the question is what does he cost? I wouldnt imagine the Rangers parting with him for anything less than CV and Parra. If the Crew adds his bat, I am not going to complain one bit. I just dont see it as likely nor do I see it as our biggest need. Then again, Its just my opinion.

    www.floridatoday.com/apps...002/SPORTS Little more details - but still not telling us what the substance was. Reading into the words of Buck Rogers, it sounds to me like it was clearly not an accidental slip.

    You are advocating changing a guys position in the middle of a race to 1st place in the division. We are no longer the laughing stock of the league. Bill Hall is a considerably better athlete and he worked really hard on the transition - all spring training and even the offseason. Hall might have made it look easy and made it look like anyone can do it, but I think that he is just really an amazing athlete. Teixeria just does not fit on this team right now. EDIT TO ADD - THanks for the correction, as I do have to admit that I was not aware he played in the OF.

    I am a real big mench fan - I think he does exactly what we ask of him, but I agree that Dye would be a large upgrade over him. The problem with Dye - I think he is definatly an every day player. Are we willing to risk what is seemingly a great clubhouse(i have heard that here and I think other places) by benching Jenkins, who is probably one of the team leaders?

    Mark Tiexeira has never played anywhere but 3rd and 1st base, 2 positions we have superstars at. Sure we can believe he has the skills to play LF or RF, but in reality, we know he can mash but I dont see anything that makes me believe he is some amazing athlete. His defensive skills have been in question from the day he was drafted out of GT. Not to mention the price on the guy has got to be thru the roof. On the other hand, Gagne has a track record as one of the best bullpen arms in MLB history, and is also a likely Hall of Famer. Teixeria would be a good addition to any team, but having the opportunity to get a Hall of Fame pitcher and add him to the staff for our run at the Division would trump any move that the Cubs could make in my opinion. Gagne for some reason seems pretty available. For some reason I think people are writing Gagne off as just some over the hill pitcher and that is simply not the case. Not to mention he is a Canada guy - so Doug Melvin has to be on the phone for him.

    Man - I love this site but all the people suggesting we trade Claudio Vargas is driving me up a wall. Baseball is a game of wins and losses and from that aspect, Vargas is one of our team MVPs. He gives the team a chance to win every day and doesnt fold under pressure.
  13. aracko
    Id much rather have Gagne.
  14. aracko
    Man, I wish there was a way we could add him. Take yesterdays game - replace Balfour with Gagne and it would be a totally different story. Anyhow back to the topic........what kind of damage do you think that does to an arm going 2 times in a day/night DH? Did anyone see the game? Was his velocity down significantly in teh 2nd game?
  15. aracko
    He is worth the wait.

    Would it be legal for the Crew to turn the majority of the lights out during his trot to the Mound as a way of saying "Lights Out"?
  17. aracko
    To me yesterday would have been the day to get Manny some work. But Ned felt like Balfour needed to get in there.
  18. aracko
    Come on Yo - one more out and you can go take a well deserved rest.

    This CANT be true, and if it is, in that situation there is no way that Estrada should have been in the game in case that happened. Ned Yost is punishing Estrada but trying to keep it in house.

    Floyd would be a nice minor league arm but he REAKS of Ben Hendrickson. Jenks would be a sweet add - if possible.

    I am a big mench fan, but if acquiring sosa meant that we could have a power RH bat off the bench in either sosa or Mench id be all for it. It would be tough to get both regular ABs though.
  22. aracko
    Hmmm. I think its cool.
  23. aracko
    That is really neat. I wish I would be in a position to do something like this down the road, but I can only donate peanuts. Thats really awesome.

    The Crapper Talker. I am in the john doing my business and this guy from Russia sits down in the stall next to me and must recognise me from my shoes cause he is talking and talking. His words are coming out at the same time as his BM. I had habaneros with my dinner and I am sweating and in some real physical pain. As nice as the guy might be, I absolutly refuse to talk to him now.
