New on the scrap heap...

Marcus Giles anyone?


He's one of those veteran players that TLR loves, and he's not been good lately.  5 years ago I would have loved to have him on the Cards, but now I'm so so.  Could he possibly be worse than Kennedy?

No thank you

The guy's another Adam Kennedy waiting to happen.

Rasmus or bust.

also on the heap...

...a prominent name in the veb community - josh towers - was placed on waivers. the rockies will go with a rotation of

francis cook jimenez morales redman

with towers hung out to dry. looks like we'll see francis, cook, and jimenez in our opening series with the nl champs.

competitive, serviceable, juan gonzalez, blah-blah-blah...let's rebuild!

Towers

I'm surprised they cut Towers loose. From what I've read Morales's velocity is way down and he's been struggling to do much of anything productive. I guess they have confidence that he'll get straightened out.

I'm not for signing Giles under any circumstances. The dude is toast.

Claudio Vargas anyone ?

Why not just continue to stock pile our stable of questionable SPs...

May as well let Tony and Dunc push Reyes down to 11 on their SP depth chart.

No thanks...

He couldn't make the Rockies! That makes me think he really can't hit anymore and that his problems weren't just with playing at Petco...

actually

he hit well for the rockies in ST: (321/.457/.536 28 AB). they just decided to go with youth - Jayson Nix.

pass

would rather get josh barfield or ruben gotay.

yuck...

please no more scrap heap players. There's already enough mediocrity in town. At this point I'd rather just see the young guys get a chance. If Kennedy and Izturis falter bring on Ryan and Hoff.
