And for the third straight playoffs, the Preds are one and done. The Admirals also trail the Wolves 1 game to 0 after last night's 3-2 loss. However, the Admirals were without Abid and Leahy. Is Rads coming down or no?
Well if Radulov is eligible to be sent down, I really wouldnt mind seeing Nashville bow out early again. I grew up a Red Wings fan with the 5 OVs but the Admirals affliation to the Predators has made that hard. I root for Buffalo because Stafford is a local player. The last tme I ever cried from pain in my life was when his slap shot hit me in the shoulder under my pad. I root for New Jersey because I met Parise before and you cant meet a nicer harder working guy. I also like Heatley and Ottawa. My pick: New Jersey over Dallas
What about Mark Mulder? Wouldnt mind gambling on him for a year. Villanueva/Vargas look like nice backup plans if Mulder cant get back on track. But the under 3.5 era upside is there.
I would love Gagne but I think he once likened Milwaukee to a AAA team and said something about some hotel having ghosts and asked why the Dodgers still stayed there said something to the effect of "its Milwaukee, they arent a whole lot of other places to stay." But I would definitely be interested if I was Melvin.
He is basically a Jenkins who walks more and hits right handed, so I am all for it. However, Mench bascially becomes completely useless with Burrell around.
I know he technically played left field but I would take the season he had over Gwynn's especially if you throw out that first month adjustment period. Throwing out the first month I would take his season over anyone except Gillespie and maybe Cain. I guess it is close all around, but I would have given Brantley a boost because he was particularly young for his level while the others were not.
I think Brantley deserves some mention on the all organization teams. After the first month of the season, he hit .323/.429/.366. Thats pretty impressive for a 19 year old at single A. I really dont see any benefit to him repeating.
Endaround, even if they are thirty, and they have big league stuff, a #2 or 3 starter stuff I would take him. Yeah but when you can control their rights for the next six years, a 25 year old is going to get a better bonus than a 30 year old.
Thats the first Ive seen that logo and I am unimpressed http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif and no Bill it would have been two out of three.
It took me a minute or two to figure out Wolf was Randy Wolf pitching against the Power tonight. I saw his 0.00 era in Clearwater and wondered why he had pitched only 5 innings there. Then I realized it was the Phillies and that was Randy.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif
