Andy McPhail sounds like Omar, except instead of younger he likes older, past-their prime underachievers.

and is McPhail pronounced Mc-Fail ?

Chase Utley has already perfected that stroke

I like Huff a lot. Always have. He’s a good (not great) professional hitter who always starts off slow and then really picks it up. I would think we’d be getting him at the perfect time. He certainly isn’t worth a huge prospect(s) but if he can be had for a reasonable return, I think he’s a good fit. With what we’re willing to trade, we’re not getting back a superstar — nor do we need one.

I would think we could trade for Huff and still have enough left in reserve to make a run at a legitimate front-line starter if one should become available.

I’m not a big Huff fan however, a “pull” hitter might work out well at Citifield as the corners are inviting….the gaps are long outs…..

i just read that he went 15 games without a homer and he was benched for two games to get his head straight. Trembley (O’s skipper) told him not to report to the stadium until 5 pm one day to give him a rest. this is not the kind of guy we need.
