May 27, 200917 yr Looking good to me. Still struggling with the breaking ball. Missed three straight out of the zone to Maysonet, then threw 2 strikes on a change ups, and finally got strike 3 on the breaking ball.
May 28, 200917 yr Those are all great names, but all unatainable. Lee isn't getting traded inside the division Swisher isn't going anywhere from New York unless it is for a marquee type player in a multi-player deal & Cuddyer will stay in Minnesota unless we are willing to trade someone like Yonder Alonso for him (the Twins would love that). My ideal trades for one of those three. Send Edwin, Homer, and Alonso to Houston for Lee and a prospect. Send Edwin, Dickerson, and a solid prospect to the Yanks for Swisher. If they wanted more throw in another solid prospect aside from Alonso. Send Homer and Dickerson, and a prospect to Minnesota for Cuddyer. Those would be good trade offers to all three clubs, and I could see one of them going down. Make this move Reds!! Yeah, Lee is a big time hitter, and with that comes big time $$$. Cuddyer is off to a nice start but he doesn't have a history of being a big time, reliable hitter. You couldn't give me Swisher and his .225 average. I've never seen the obsession people have with him. He hit .219 with 24 hr's and 69 rbi's last year and .262 with 22 hr's and 78 RBI's the year before. He isn't worth the money. I think the current platoon will give as much or more production than Cuddyer or Swisher in a years time. I'd like to see them go after Holliday. He got off to a rough start, but is creeping back up now. The A's will be looking to deal him in July, IMO. He was a great hitter in Denver, and I think GABP would be a nice launching pad for him too. We could give up Edwin, and two solid prospects and get Lee IMO. Cuddyer is a solid OF, who may be 30, but has a solid bat. He would be a great fit for us right now. Swisher is a solid OF who any team in baseball would love to have. To say you couldn't give him to me is pretty stupid. Sorry.. Also, you took shots at Swisher, what's Holiday doing any better? Holiday - .267 average, 6 HR, 28 RBI, .359 OBP, .422 SLG, .781 OPS Swisher - .222 average, 9 HR, 27 RBI, .363 OBP, .486 SLG, .849 OPS The avg's are the only big difference, and I'll give Holiday that. But Swisher is the better overall player. Would love having them both, but if I had to choose I'd take Nick.
May 28, 200917 yr It feels nice going to the 7,8, and 9th that our bullpen is just nasty. But we likely won't have to use them tonight. Bronson at 66 pitches through 6.
May 28, 200917 yr Yesterday he looked like he was trying to drive the ball. He put some solid swings together. Lined out his first trip and singled later. He looks better than he has and my guess is he's gonna be on the mend at the plate and it couldn't come at a better time with the division rivals that are on the menu in the next stretch. Psychic. Nice call
May 28, 200917 yr Not psychic. :laugh:I'm glad, but after he struggled thru the first three innings getting his breaking ball over. After 3 innings he was 19 strikes 17 balls. Usually a recipie for disaster, but Arroyo has pitched a gem so far. :thumb:
