Diamondbacks Bullpen

Rose would be a huge gamble. While I like William's body of work, I really don't think the Dbacks would get ahead with him on the roster because at his age he would always be on the shelf.

Parker was the obvious pick and a good one (Porcello would be a headache). I really like the Roemer pick.

Good first draft so far by Allison.

I've always liked the guy, but he's always disappointed every year statistically. . . until this year.

Orlando Mercado is quietly having an amazing year at Visalia. Look at the [url=http://web.mino ...

No, probably not.

Thanks for the concern.

Now, get back to the topic at hand. This is a gameday thread for the D Backs v. Reds 04/11.

Is this the oprah board, or is there a game going on?

Laughing

My apologies. Go D Backs! The ump is squeezing Owings a bit, especially on pitches at the knees.

I don't think we need more Josh Hamilton's of the world. I don't have much empathy for that situation, or many situations for that matter.

Is it great he's turned his life around for himself? Yes, ...

Went 2-3 with a walk tonight, lowering his BA to .750 through 16 at-bats.

He was also very solid in the pitcher friendly Southern League last year. Looks like the Third Amigo is coming around! Very Happy

anyone else tired of anncrs fawning over hamilton? the guy was a dope fiend, for cryin' out loud. he's not a friggin' hero...

+1

Valverde's gut is big this time of year.

Maybe that is what is effecting his release point.

Not sure I agree Byrnes loses that ATL trade. Especially considering what we got from Milwaukee in return for Estrada.

And he said CWS got a small victory by getting Alex Cintron. Yah, ok. Rolling Eyes

Very cool, thank you.

One thing I noticed was the absence of Kyler Newby. Anyone have any idea what happened to him?

He missed the start of last year, I think due to extended ST, so this could ...

As for the Mets, they don't have an African American on the active Roster, so Willie gets the honor. He is a fine choice to honor Jackie Robinson.

I'm not sure who the Cardinals are going to pic ...

today in washington: records one out, gives up five hits, one walk and a blown save as washington wins their first game 7-6. Laughing

I think Mcclelland has an inner monologue on how to call each pitch. He's brutal behind home plate.

Looking at Taveras' face, I thought he was going to turn around and pull a Roberto Alomar.

Snyder picked off Sad

read my post above for info on Hairston. Score is 5-4 in the bottom of the 4th. Rockies have one out and a guy on second with Taveras at the plate

and last inning for the D Backs, Hairston pulled an inside fastball down the line for a double, plating two runs.

Hairston is awesome

Rumor has it that last night, that like Melvin, Larussa was experimenting with several different lineup permutations. He meant to switch back to the lineup card with Duncan as a starting OF, but he fe ...

AL East: Yankees
AL Central: Indians
Al West: Angels
AL Wildcard: Twins

AL MVP: Travis Hafner
AL Cy Young: Johan Santana
AL ROY: Daisuke Matsuzaka

NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Cardinals

I'd rather have Gorz at $3, than Bautista at $1.

Byrnes may sell a lot of women's shirts, but that doesn't mean much, IMO
Laughing

I hope you're right, and actually, you've convinced me. Trade that guy, i never liked him anyways.

Edited for gr ...

Eh, I just don't see the effect Byrnes has on the fan base. We said the same thing about Gonzo, and it doesn't appear to be hurting season ticket renewals, or the ST attendance #'s. Byrnes may sell a ...

I would hope that if Hairston got out of the gate quickly, that he would continue to play over Byrnes when Quentin comes back. Hairston was just announced as getting a roster spot a few days ago, so i ...
