<t>Enjoy him all the way up to the trade deadline.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> NH has traded closers at the end of their team control regularly. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> As with Cutch, the season will be a two-edged sword. If Watson/Cutch under-perform, the season probably will not be going well making it...

Too soon for Pablo Reyes?  Brandon Wood? Frank Duncan? Errr...never mind.

<t>Sorry if I hijacked the thread.  I agree that holding runners should be learned in the minors.  That said, he's had very few runners for the most part.  He may also have been told to concentrate on getting the batter out.  It sure seems that our ML staff has been given some of the same guidance w...

<t>The starting pitching was the biggest problem last year. It was partly hidden by the offense but later was compounded by Cutch's hitting woes as they couldn't outscore teams regularly enough. Also, some of the guys that started hot and covered up Cutch's problems regressed.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>...

<t>Voting Holmes now. He's still age appropriate for his level despite the lost time. He's still a potential back-end starter who is a GB machine and will be starting a 2nd year at AA due, in part, to the logjam of SPs at Indy. He has to improve on last year a bit as his HR total and WHIP are too hi...

I don't really view him as a prospect right now.<br/> I'm afraid so too. I was very high on him ear...

<t>Went with Brault here thanks to what he's already done at the upper levels and an OK ML debut. I think he can still be a good #4-5 SP. I'll give him a bit more time to adjust to the majors.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> It was a hard choice as I like the upside of young guys like Hinsz and Ogle. Yeudy t...

If we didn't have Frazier and Hanson on the roster, he'd make a nice bench piece.



I agree with Dog. If we are going to upgrade the bench, a bat like Joyce's would be what we should target - a 4th OFer with pop.

<r>I went with Craig. I have some sort of affinity for chunky dudes, I guess, since I've been a big Carlos Munoz supporter too. <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I have my worries about the guy (defense and finding a position) but the guy raked against good competition (ACC) for two years.
