A Masher When He’s On???? He Batted .139 with 2 outs and RISP. A complete DISGRACE!!!!!! And I don’t think Omar’s boy will be better this year. Maybe he’ll get better luck saluting the flag!!

The media was afraid to pick on Omar for obvious reasons. A simple question to him like why has he NEVER IN 4 YEARS ACQUIRED A BLACK OR WHITE AMERICAN STAR HITTER !!! WHY OMAR!!! Would that have been too tough to ask.

I wish you were associated with the media; but those gutless creeps are afraid to say anything critical about Senor Minaya. I wonder why?

Exactly. BH Kim was on the United shuttle between Miami and Phoenix all year it seemed.

Jacobs was nice for 2 months. But let’s get serious. Delgado is a masher when he’s on.

I think Burgos is going to be groomed to be our closer when he gets back from TJS. Just a hunch.

The guy has nasty stuff. Just has to harness it. Hopefully he won’t be Benitez Reincarnate.

I don’t think it was so they wouldn’t be contracted. I think it had more to do with the fact that they never won a thing. The one year that they could have made a legit run, there was a strike. That team was nasty.

They finally saw an opportunity to win and they went for it. Can’t fault being aggressive, even if it costs you in the end. At least he went for it. You think the Montreal fans cared that they gave up Sizemore, Phillips, and Cliff Lee (who I don’t see the big deal about anyway)? Doubt it.

Not to mention, with a team like the Expos, if you have a chance to go for it one year, you do it.

You don’t think the Royals would trade their three top prospects for Johan Santana at the deadline if they found themselves tied for the division lead on July 30th?

They would make that deal in a second.

It will cost 3 of our top 5 prospects: Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey

2 Lower Top 10: Philip Humber, Brant Rustich

1 Misc: Ruben Gotay

Carlos Gomez (who the Tiwns compared to Delmon Young)
Deolis Guerra (Brilliant young, big, hard throwing hurler)
Kevin Mulvey (Solid middle of the rotation starter, MLB ready)
Philip Humber (Tested in the minors and as an MLB reliever)
Brant Rustich (Hard thrower, minor league success)
Ruben Gotay (Promising performace last year, middle infielder)

Not to mention, the guy that brings up the Sizemore trade is also the guy that says Oliver Perez and John Maine were throw-ins in the Jorge Julio and Roberto Hernandez deals.

Can’t have it both ways. I’m sure Omar knew who he was giving up. Sometimes a trade like that can motivate a young player. It happens. Nobody has a crystal ball. Make a decision and live with it.
