MCH Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Not exactly sure what the Dodgers think they're doing, but I'm glad Bradley is gone. He's a great player but a hinderance in the clubhouse. Rumors have us trying to pick up Damon but I'm against it. We've already got a prototypical lead off hitter in Furcal, now we need power in the outfield. If we do get Damon, then we better trade for Dunn. We'd have to give up 3 high prospects for him but we'd be a shoe-in for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: Finally unloaded Bradley [ QUOTE ] Where did Bradley go? [/ QUOTE ] He went to Oakland along with Antonio Perez(great hitter with no defense) for the A's top Double A outfielder, Deither. Kind of ironic. The kid won the Sporstmanship award during the Arizona Fall league. Opposite end of the spectrum from Bradley, huh?? Chris...I've heard that Sizemore and Hafner are going to the Yankees for Carl Pavano and Bernie Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] give it up Chris, Sizemore's not going any where. Shapiro isn't GM of the Year for nothing. And before you say he got lucky, he also was award a few times when he was the Indians farm director. He's proven, just like Sizemore is, and the two of them, and the rest of the gang are going to win the central, regardless of how much money the pale hoes spend.(wink, wink, chuckle, chuckle...muggsy....OUT!!)

muggs Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: Finally unloaded Bradley GRADY Sizemore was a stud football player at Washinton U too. He also was one of the best AAA players in 03 along with his teamate Jhonny Peralta, yet another stud on the Tribe. Add to that the season he had, and the fact that he gives his all everygame...yup...proven in my book. That reminds me Kevin, it's Peralta, Crisp, Sizemore and Hafner to the Yanks for Povano, Bernie Williams, and Enrique Wilson. The bet is on Chris...talent wins, not throwing away money on washed up vets ala the Yanks. Cliff Lee, big CC, Westbrook, Hafner, Crisp, Sizemore, Peralta, Victor Martinez...and watch out for a kid by the name of Ryan Garko...serious big league bat potential. Looks like a solid start and Shapiro's not done, just wish we could lose Eric Wedge, if we had a decent manager we would have won the central last season. Wedgie would make a great beer... err...softball league skipper, the only manager I've seen that relied on the long ball more was the human rain-delay Mike Hargrove. the word "sacrifice" is not in either one of those loser's vocab. Tribe to win central in '06...you heard it hear first Pileski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: Finally unloaded Bradley I can't believe the Yanks are actually throwing in Pavano. Heck, Bernie could command the same talent exchange without him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: Finally unloaded Bradley The freshest news out there: The Dodgers are about to sign Mueller to a lucrative contract. We are also expected to sign Kenny Loftin and Reggie Sanders to complete our outfield. Now if we could just resign Weaver and then trade for Adam Dunn, we'd be set.

Heck, Bernie could command the same talent exchange without him.... [/ QUOTE ] If you ask me, Enrique Wilson is the deal sealer on that one. Oh, and umm, Chris. Though I'm not a huge fan of a closer that's in worse shape then my Dad, he did lead the league in saves last year, and has been formidable over the past three seasons. Like I said, I'd like to have Hoffman here instead, but old gator-arms Wicky ain't washed up...well he might be this year, but the original contract the Tribe gave him worked out for both sides...a lot better than the contract the Yanks gave Jaret Wright, another dude Cleveland lost that drove fans nuts, but low-and-behold, only showed Shapiro's genius yet again.

Skill keeps me going these days... I'll take Mueller and give you odds that he competes for the Batting Title his first year in the National League. I do however, hope that we only give him two years. We've got that LaRoche kid coming up and he'll be our 3 bagger for a while. BTW....did I just hear something fly over someone's head???

[/ QUOTE ] Career .292 switch hitter who doesn't strike out much and isn't a defensive liability? Heck yeah I'm happy. It's a definite upgrade over the platoon we had at third base last year. Plus, Mueller is the type of player I want in my clubhouse. I'm glad Damon is staying, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
