This is all taken verbatium:
and
And he calls himself a loyal fan.
think of this Trade:
Tim Lincecum, rhp
Jonathan Sanchez, lhp
Angel Villalona, 3b
for Tex.
Move Chipper to 1B and put Villalona at 3B.
Tim Lincecum, rhp
Jonathan Sanchez, lhp
Angel Villalona, 3b
for Tex.
Move Chipper to 1B and put Villalona at 3B.
(The idea of trading Tim Lincecum for a left-handed power bat) was my point EXACTLY. san fran has LOTS of money now and some decent pitchers in the wings. they need a Left handed bat to hit into McCovey Cove (shorter porch that way) and spending 21-30 million a year on a Right haded Arod makes NO sense whatsoever considering their home field. however, spending 20 million on a Left Handed first basemen and giving up those 3 might justify the butts Tex would put in the seats.
as for having a 17 year old at 3B (actually, i’ve read he’s 19)…didn’t we put a 19 year old in CF during the WORLD freakin’ SERIES?
he turned out pretty well. pretty fat now, but he turned out pretty well.
my issue is this: no matter who we sign, we’re not going to the playoffs this year. Hell, I’m a loyal guy, but if Chipper wants another ring, trade him to a AL team and get some pitchers for him. Trade smoltzy to a contender and make that Tex trade.
in 3 years, we’re solid. rebuilding, folks, requires what we just did with renty: get two NICE prospects for an older commodity.
it also requires some pains.
