Monday Injury Kick to the Jimmy

[PGromek]

[BlindSquirrel]

Don't forget Henry Rodriguez who is dealing with "pretending to be a major league closer".

One of the worst cases I have ever seen. How many passed balls/wild pitches did he throw to 3 batters.....FIVE?

Reminds me of Joel Zumaya a few years back!

Bourjos will get his fair share of time again. There are plenty of AB's to divvy up between Him, Morales and Trumbo. Right now Trumbo has the corner OF spots, 1B to rest Puljos, 3B and DH spots for AB's. Morales may be the odd man out for less AB's. There will be a lot of owners trying to get Bourjos if he's available this weekend.

No way Morales loses at-bats. He's the only lefty (switch hitter), middle of the order bat. As numerous commentators have said they are way too right-handed up & down their order. I think Albert need Morales hitting behind him.

On a side note, the Angels (for what here-to-fore has been a pretty solidly-run organiztion), have made some pretty major personnel blunders. Not just basically giving Mike Napoli away for nothing, but also taking on Vernon Wells' contract without the Blue Jays assuming any of the money. WOW. Makes you wonder how much input notorious catcher snob, Mike Scioscia had in that move. Imagine just having Napoli & Trumbo (with their cheap salaries) without the Wells & Pujols contracts....throw in Morales & Hunter as middle of the order bats with Burjos & Trout & Kendrick and then about 50 mill for the GM to use on a Carlos Beltran-type deal/bullpen power arms & maybe trade for a Youkilis-type in the 2-hole of the order. Just saying...makes you wonder how much Arte/Scoscia is calling the shots. That Napoli/Wells trade has to be one of the worst trades in MLB history.

by the what what did harper do tonite??

dont forget..." he will be back in the minors in mid june" gekko

what, harper had 2 hits against kyle kendrick (AA pitcher). in his last 8 games harper has faced the kendrick, and the wonderful pirates, padres and orioles pitchers. quality stuff right there.

i'd bid more on 4th OF parra (player i dropped this week) than 4th OF bourjos. probably $1 compared to $0

Tony Reagins would tell ya they're calling ALL the shots!

Parra, Bourgos - both good players, The ? is who gets more playing time going forward- I think Bourgos barring injuries. Still buzz floating around on the Nats having interest in both of them, and especially if Harper is demoted as you feel he should be. Guess everyone should look at Revere or someone like that, that might be avialable, since both Bourgos and Parra are worth only $0 and $1

revere did have 34sb in limited at bats last year.

Especially with the news that they're looking a little closer at Oswalt now.

Talk about being in the cat bird seat. With so many injuries, all Oswalt has to do is open the vault door and let teams shovel money in!!!!

Not that it is my style to be too numerish, but the Pirates (team ERA 3.38 5th in MLB), Padres (3.41 6th in MLB) and Orioles (3.58 13th in MLB, leading AL East, and second most wins in MLB) pitching is not that bad. Just sayin....

[Scared $ Dont Make $]

Gekko only states statistics when they are in favor of his argument... otherwise he ignores them... see the Harper thread for his continuous spewing of stats.

Obviously the guy has no clue what AWESOME talent looks like when it comes to baseball... not a real baseball fan... but whatever drives you compete in this event is up to you, everyone has different methods and reasons

Jealousy is what I call on this one... He can't admit he missed the boat on someone... so he is the type that puts up his defense mechanisms and will constantly bash instead of admitting he just swung and missed on a guy

ahhhh...another guy saying harper "looks" good. lol!!!!!

go ahead and state some statistics that show harper is the real deal. i dare you. we all know there aren't any. his minor league numbers PALE in comparison to the minor league numbers put up by Heyward at the same age of 19. take a look if you want some truth in your life

[Gekko]

mikey trout's 19 year old numbers put harper to shame too. "once in a generation" harper. hehe!!
