Amen!!!! It really does.

Did I impress you with my tweet embedding skillz! :)

Obviously the better player won out, but Hairston went on to have a nice career and was quite valuable to several teams.

I knew there had to be an easy way, and for somebody that used to build PCs from total scratch, supported mainframes, knew unix inside and out, and likes to think I know what I am doing at a keyboard, at times, I feel like a newbie. :)

You could use cURL and the twitter API to tweet for you. ;)

Back prior to the 2004 season, I was expecting Hairston to win the second base competition and was hoping the Cardinals could acquire Roberts after he lost out. Then Jerry broke his finger in his first spring training game and before he came off the DL, Brian had the job sewn up.

I kept hoping the Cardinals would pick Jerry up, but they didn't seem to have any interest. Just as well, considering how fragile Jerry's been throughout his career.

I still remember how they were comparing Jerry's glove to Robbie Alomar Jr.

      And he was flashing some wheels too, stretching into a 2B and also cutting off balls in the field, making competitive throws trying to get runners.

      Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short.  That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on.  Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today.  I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever.  Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks.  Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22.  Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32.        Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?

      Looking for bright spots from today’s game, Hays hit three balls on the screws, 102, 104 and 106, two of which went for hits.  His BA is creeping towards the Mendoza line, now at .190. He’s hitting .294 since coming off the IL.

      At this point, after seeing this game and about 3 other games lost this year, I have come around to the fact that the O's are going to have to trade for a shut down 7th and 8th inning guy.   I think that is all they need. But for now they are that ONE guy short of having a BP that can win a WS this year.

      That’s absolutely part of the recipe.

      How is Elias' "Elite Talent Pipeline"?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      If Basallo goes off in the second half we have an outside shot for 4 #1 prospects 4 years in a row.  I’d say that’s elite.  The Latin players he signed in his first year are now 19 & 20 and just getting into full-season ball.  They have also hit on a lot of trades (Brandish, Cano, Povich, McDermott) and will continue to supplement the pipeline through additional trades.  Etzel, Fabian, EBJ, Horvath could all turn the dial up a notch or 2 and become big time prospects.
