Let's see, Joe G couldn't get anyone better than Fossum for Curt? This organization needs to have the balls to fire him and get a real general manager.

Actually he got Sexson and Fossum for Curt (people seem to forget that indirectly the Curt deal got us Sexson).

Secondly Fossum is a prospect so you are going to have to treat him as such. He will have up and down moments. You have to have patience with him.

Oh yeah....I forgot, we gave Overbay, Spivey, Counsell and Capuano to the Brewers for ***** and giggles. Joe Jr is an idiot, he got fleeced in the deal. To invest in a power hitting first baseman as opposed to keeping Schilling shows what a ****** he is. Does he not remember why he won the World Series? Hint: It wasn't an explosive offense...(With the notable anamoly of game six).

Fossum actually has a decent future, if he was used correctly. He is kind of like Dessens. He pitches okay for a few innings, then gets lit up. Ideally, the D-Backs will trade Unit, go after 2-3 stud FA starters, then put Sparks and Fossum where they belong: long relief!

Fossum is a young lefty with a great curve ball. Given time he will be a solid pitcher. Right now the whole team sucks, and look at the Rangers: Their pitching looks alot better when the team scores runs....the pitchers have more confidence.

Looking towards the future, I think fossum could be a quality fifth starter next year. I would rather have sparks in the bullpen for long relief.

Quality fifth starter is pretty much an oxymoron. And for the D-Backs it definitely is. Be happy not to have pure dreck as the 5th starter.
