So this roster spot.

DiFelice, Johnson, or waiver claim?

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 30, 2008 2:50 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I don't get why people want to to bring up Johnson,

Pena is fine, Dan Johnson reminds me of a poor man’s Aubrey Huff. Yes, he is doing well in Durham but so is Chris Richard.

Frankly I think the Rays should be bring up Thayer,

Especially with the unimpressive outing by Salas last night. I don’t think Salas has what ever he had last year cough-’roids

He walks as a MiL Free Agent if we don't add him.

If we do add him, he’s under team control for several years. And given a full season, I thing he could better the numbers Hinske’s put up this year.

Always nice to have your national title hopes basically extinguished in Week 1.

Odd.

I like CFB far more than the NFL.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 30, 2008 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Same

I’ve got a whole speil about this, but the short version: Watching the NFL now is like playing a football game from 1992, when the only difference between the teams is their uniforms. All players are the same speed, same strength, and run the same exact plays. CFB despite it’s flaws, is a much more exciting sport.

Going by gameday, the first three pitches to Zobrist were either borderline or strikes — but called balls. And gameday agrees, he swung at ball four.

George Sherrill (shoulder) resumed his throwing program Saturday and is scheduled to toss a bullpen session on Wednesday.
If things go smoothly during his bullpen, Sherrill could return by next weekend.

Fernando Cabrera was fined by manager Dave Trembley after rudely flipping him the ball when he was removed from Friday’s game.
“Cabrera was fined an undisclosed amount of money and was disciplined accordingly by me,” Trembley said Saturday. “That’s where we’re at. I am satisfied that he recognized that what he did was inappropriate, and I accept his apology.” It sounds like the matter is closed.

Brian Stokes was a colossal failure in all regards.

Dan Wheeler is an effective reliever that is prone to the occasional long-ball. If you don’t like it you can suck a cock.
