    Edgar Gonzalez likely to start Thursday

    http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060619&content_id=1513999&vkey=news_ari&fext=.jsp&c_id=ari I guess the corresponding roster move would be to place Hairston on the DL... Bringing-up Edgar Gonzalez over Micah Owings or any othero of the Dbacks promising...

    Hairston recalled, Jarvis sent down to Tucson

    I just also wanted to add.... Another reason why Gonzo's stats have declined (especially this season) is that there is no 'legit power threat in the line-up... Therefore, he's not getting a decent selection of pitches thrown to him... At least last season he got some better pitches because...

    Hairston recalled, Jarvis sent down to Tucson

    No, it's not entirely laughable considering that a key veteran player on a contending team sustains a season-ending injury and may suddenly become desperate and willing to sacrifice more than they could have possibly ever imagine... The old adage..... desperate situations calls for desperate...

    Hairston recalled, Jarvis sent down to Tucson

    Believe me... an AL contending team in the midst of a pennant chase might be willing to sacrifice a couple of mid-tier prospects for Gonzo..especially since he would thrive as a DH and his veteran leadership could be very valuable... I personally believe that a change of scenery could help...

    Hairston recalled, Jarvis sent down to Tucson

    It is time now to promote up Quentin and insert him into the every line-up as the Dbacks regular LF...... Especially now since it appears more and more evident that Gonzo will be dealt by the trade deadline.......

    Players Who You Believed Used Illegal Performance Enhancing Substances?

    Ruben Sierra had several lingering injuries for quite a few years and then suddenly out of nowhere in '01 generates 21 HRs and 67 RBI in only 94 games w/the Rangers.... On that squad there's Palmeiro, Gabe Kapler, Pudge, and Chad Curtis (another player I suspect to have roided-up in some point...

    Players Who You Believed Used Illegal Performance Enhancing Substances?

    A friend and I at work were discussing this subject at length today.. pretty much speculating about some other players in the past 20-years who probably took steroids.... Here's my list of those: Albert Belle Rondell White Ruben Sierra Kevin Foulke Rob Dibble Eric Davis (hard for me to believe...

    Lou's Views #1: "the GRIM Reality"

    I guess he's getting the start essentially out of default because the Dbacks would have to free-up a roster spot for anyone else to occupy that turn in the rotation... Rumor has it with Bartolo Colon being reactivated from the DL in Anaheim, that they might be inclined to trade Ervin Santana...

    Lou's Views #1: "the GRIM Reality"

    Well.. I'm glad Enrique Gonzalez proved me wrong with his solid outing the other night, however, Claudio Vargas continues to struggle some, however, the culprit was Tracy's subpar defense..... Valverde was also massacred in his inning of work bringing his ERA to 7.36 and wouldnt be so shocked...

    Lou's Views #1: "the GRIM Reality"

    A week ago at this particular moment, the Dbacks returned from a 7-3 East Coast road-trip that witnessed them playing some flawless ball. Quality starts, solid bullpen efforts, clutch/timely hitting, above-average defense, etc... You name it, the Dbacks appeared to be on the verge of greatness...

    Players Who You Believed Used Illegal Performance Enhancing Substances?

    I've been meaning to post this topic for awhile now..even prior to the Jason Grimsley news being reported....... I've often wondered which ML players duing the past couple of decades have used performance enchancing substances (of the illegal variety) other than the obvious documented cases...

    What to do with Gonzo?

    He has to prove himself defensively which is why he'll forever be a AAAA player unfortunately.... He couldnt establish himself as a ML 2B and now making a transition into an OF and how still has to make some adjustments.... Plus... Hairston must finally learn now to swing at the first pitch...

    Marion or Diaw?

    If I came across as being negative on Diaw... I didnt intend to.... In fact.. he was my favorite player this season.... I actually drafted him and Barbosa with my final 2 picks in my Fantasy Draft before the regular season started because I sensed so much potential for both of them...

    Marion or Diaw?

    Amare, Marion, Diaw, and KT can all co-exist and receive plenty of playing time next season because 3 out of the 4 (not KT) are versatile..... In some situations, Diaw will be brought in as a PG to provide Nash much needed rest.. therefore... that would take immense pressure off of Barbosa...

    Blame D'Antoni

    Perhaps it rests some on the since departed BC for not acquiring some more depth throughout the season, however, I must applaud the Suns in signing TT when they did..... It's just unfortunate that no fore-sight/hind-sight..whatever can be applied here in this case... Who would have envisioned...

    Blame D'Antoni

    What other options did D'Antoni have against the Mavs? Was he going to give significant minutes to both Burke and Grant.. or Skita for that matter? Those players would have been better suited against the Spurs .. or quite possibly the Heat... however.... against a team that can be explosive as...

    Mavs @ Suns Game 6 - 6/3/2006 -Scouting Report

    The Suns dont have to necessarily break the bank for Diaw at this time... He impressed in a small sample-size.. if he indeed does bulk-up and adds some more post-up and aggressive inside moves into his aresenal... pounds the board with more frequency.. then he will warrant such a contract...

    Blame D'Antoni

    How can a coach make adjustments when 4 of your key players have 4+ fouls by early 4th qt... Your limited bench (IE Jones and House) are struggling, and your other reserves are rather horrid...... Also... D'Antoni has no control whatsoever on Nash being fatigued and becoming quite tentative...

    Mavs @ Suns Game 6 - 6/3/2006 -Scouting Report

    The reasons why the Suns lost was the injury to Bell.. plain and simple... If he was at full-strength.. his effective 3-point shooting would have spread the court.. giving Nash, Diaw, TT, and Barbosa more spacing... Also... Nash wouldnt have been heavily guarded as he was.... Then.. of...

    Suns @ Mavs 6/1/2006 game thread - Scouting Report: Mavericks vs. Suns

    The turning point of the game was when Nash and the Suns let time expire to end the 3rd qt... Being down 82-80...if the Suns had better clock management during that sequence, they would have had more momentum heading into the 4th.... Unfortunately.... they seemed to really boost the Mav's...

    Dontrelle Willis Trade Rumor

    Marlins are in dire need of a closer...Probably more than any other teams in the ML...... I wonder if they would be willing to accept either Julio (which I posted in another thread) or perhaps Valverde in some package involving one of the uber propsects along with a mid-tier one..... Would the...
