I hope the Pirates at least try and land Branyan in the offseason to play 1B. He could be had cheap.

For what reason? They aren't going to contend next year. Branyan would be better off as a DH or even bench player for a contender. Would probably make the same amount of money.

No, the Mets must re-sign him to a mega deal.

Naa even Omar has realized how bad of a player he is. How anyone really wants him is beyond me. Should be out of baseball at this point.

Part of the Pirates strategy is to get older guys who can show success and they can trade for a prospect or something.

He can be a pinch hitter off the bench against lefties.

He really can't though. He complains when he doesn't get enough playing time. His numbers against lefties are good but when he doesn't get AB's he gets even worse. He'd be a terrible PH since he'd be so anxious you can throw him 3 pitches no where near the plate and he'll swing at all. He's garbage and I'd get on him even more if he didn't seem to be a good guy.

He's always annoyed me, but that's neither here nor there. I'm enjoying you actually being here these last two days though.

Maybe if you would invite me in to your home, it would be like you would have NFLDC all the time.

Hahaha. The Sox actually got a pretty decent prospect, Chris Balcom-Miller, for Manny Delcarmen.

He's got great numbers, but his stuff is mediocre and he'll probably be a number 4 or 5 for most teams (or nothing for the Sox). On another note, is it true that La Russa and Rasmus are feuding?

Well Francoeur was traded. Might be to Texas for Joaquin Arias who also sucks but whatever.

They both deny it but they need him BADLY right now. This is not the time to be proving a point...

That was pretty darn impressive. I think I'm more excited about the fact that he threw those sliders than him hitting 102 on the gun.
