Diamondbacks Bullpen

And he's pointing his bat towards Chicago.

Wow just tuned in and we're getting bitch-slapped by Vargas. great.

I loved this quote on the likelihood of Willis getting traded...

Willis has been the same way in Florida — a bad team’s one superior player.

Management could trade him, but only at the risk of ...

I don't see any way that JB trades for Contreras. He could be a toss in <if he arrives with a check to the DBacks for about half his salary>.

It would be extra nice if the Giants could avoid the sweep and knock LA down a notch.

Rumor is that the Pirates 1B, Laroche, is having knee problems. They have a slew of inexpensive pitching (mostly #4/5 types) and were rumored to be hot for Chad Tracy last year.

They're definite ...

Having played out of the same facility in Tucson they probably have a good idea as to what Scotty is capable of.

I'd like to see us make a stab at Garland if we can swing it without giving up too much. He's got 1 year left at 12MM which I think we could swing with some smart budgeting moves.

I agree as we also jump to add "faces of the franchise" way to flippantly. A year ago it was Tracy, then last offseason they were apparently actively shopping him. Earlier this year they w ...

I don't blame JB much on this at all. They took an unorthodox approach and it could have gone the other way, but didn't and he corrected it.

I just looked over at MLBTradeRumors.com and there's a blurb on the Byrnes issue. Nothing new but it's really interesting to read the comments from the posters there. One guy is convinced Byrnes is ...

Likely just posturing. I've enjoyed watching EB this year and hope he gets 5/50 from someone (else).

I think next year we are going to have a real pitching problem and will need to use our spar ...

My daily commute is about 2 minutes so I get very little radio time, however today I was on the road for about 1 1/2 hours and so was able to listen to quite a bit.

The one refreshing thing is th ...

I don't know how much meat there is to this but when I was listening to Gambo & Ash today they were pretty sure the D-Backs had an interest in keeping EB after this season.

They replayed an i ...

Oddly we make the same statement about several would-be hitters who are relegated to part-time AB's. (that they need regular at bats to become consistant)

I read a few of the comments after Nick's article and was laughing my butt off. One guy said this was a mistake of "epic" proportions. OMG

I have it from persons close to the team that they waited until after Shoe went on vacation before the let Seitzer go just so he'd be the last to know.

Hey, guys, I just heard the owners (KenKen and Company) aren't happy with Tracy and Jackson. I think they could be traded by the end of the trading deadline.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if one o ...

A friend of mine said that today on 910 he heard that none of RJ's contract was insured <which makes sense as who would insure it>. Has anyone else heard this?

I still believe we'll get at ...

I'm all for hanging on. Hell, what choice do we really have? With our budget there just isn't any room to make a move outside of the system.

Does this mean it's officially OK to talk about trading for Willis?

Laughing

Sure!

But don't be surprised if'n ya gets a whuppin' from shoe when he gets back! Very Happy

If I ...

Does this mean it's officially OK to talk about trading for Willis?

Ok I guess I'll be the voice of honesty, though I hate to say it but tis true. Most of us never expected for the team to play as well as it did in the first half.

I beleive the general concenses wa ...

One thing that I've really grown to like about Byrnes is how he will, in no uncertain terms, take the blame for blowing a game when it was his fault.

Good stuff.
