Getting the pitchfork...lol.

I'm the top response on his blog :mwahaha:

But seriously lets give him shot at trying to break the strikeout record

[Crazysilver03]

If you can bring him in on a non-guaranteed contract, I would be game for it. Would still prefer to give 1B to Huff/Salazar.

[Mackus]

Just let Huff play 1B until you trade him.

[The Rick]

Just let Huff play 1B until you trade him.

But that's much less exciting than our potential off-season of Izturis, Hendrickson & Sexson.

[PrivateO]

Is there a "shoot-myself-in-the-head" avatar? :rolleyestf:

Seriously, I've been sayign it all day. Scott at DH, Huff at 1B, Montanez/Reimold at LF.

Makes too much sense.

[mweb]

Just let Huff play 1B until you trade him.

Totally agree. Don't see the point of bringing in Hinske or Casey. Sexson at least has an upside, but I would still rather have Huff at 1B, Scott DH, and Reimold/Montanez in LF.

Give Richie Sexson a try. If we do sign him we have nothing to loose only to gain. If he gets his act back togather he could be a 30+ homer guy. If we don't ink Dunn or another hitter Dunn would fill that DH role. Crow can maybe fix the swing and get it togather. He more then likely won't have a Major-League deal though so i be happy giving him Minor League deal. Also if we get into a brawl in ESPN on OD he can help out big he is 6' 8

[Old#5fan]

Well I'd sure as hell take him over Hinske or Casey.

AM is getting better....He's thinking upside/potential, even if it's just for this season.

Still would be a joke of a move at this point for us but it's better than getting a guy who you just know is going to suck.

I know Sexon is going to suck, so yes it would be a joke.

[JTrea81]

Wow, really?

That's really... sad.

[MemphisOsFan]

I don't know what to say about this possible signing at all. If Sexson is signed to a minor level contract then I guess I can live with that.

But, I am going to join the club and say this again, why not just place Scott at DH, Huff at 1B, and Montanez/Reimold at LF. :scratchchinhmm:

[BaltimoreTerp]

Izturis, Hendrickson and Sexson would have been a potentially decent off-season three years ago.

[notfast]

Anyone know what # he wears? Gotta preorder that Baltimore Jersey.

[epic]

I don't think Sexson is a bad experiment if he's signed to a minor league deal, but why are they so anxious to get a 1 year first baseman.

It's really rediculous that they have no faith in Reimold/Montanez/Scott/Salazar in some way filling LF and DH.
