Bugg Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 They aren't getting him in 1997. At best, he's good for 5-6 innings; will go to deep counts on everyone(which in Mel Stottelmyre's "no strikeout" nibbling world makes him fit right in!) and will pitch to a 4+ ERA on his best days. But he has to be better than the defrocked Padres, Redding and May. It reeks of desperation, but they really have no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Good luck with Leiter because he will wear out your bullpen- Gordon's arm troubles will be recurring with the amount of work he will need to get to Rivera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 why not go all out and get Burnett? Think about it. Why should the Marlins trade him right now? They're still in the race and he's an important horse in their rotation. They dont need to trade him, so they hold the upperhand in all negotiations with potential trades for him. That and he'd cost way too much for a guy who also has arm issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 When discussing the possibility of signing an above average OF to one of the biggest deals in baseball this past off-season (Beltran) And oh how much do Yankee fans wish they had Beltran's defensive capabilities now over Bernie Williams and that 19-year old fatass Cabrera. Not only that, but Beltran in Yankee Stadium > Carlos Beltran in Shea Stadium as a hitter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
