googs...

[pinnacle]

Any chance colangelo pulls a matt williams and lets googs walk and eats the last year of his contract? I think the upcoming season will be the final year of his contract - hope that is right..

Cutting matt williams allowed the younger guys to shine for the dbacks..we did trade for hillebrand..but he is injured and cintron is playing great - would not have happened if matt williams was at 3rd.....
roster spots:

forwards: zarko, amare, marion, outlaw.
centers: Big Jake
guards: Barbosa, marbury, penny, jacobson, joe johnson.

That is 10 guys...I would take williams and jake voskul over googs for the 11th and 12th spots.- the contract aside. Weak link is center..and unless we get someone else - williams can play center and googs really cannot (or very well at least).

I will say that matt williams supposedly had issues in the clubhouse and googs from what I understand does not..

Won't happen. The only way that happens is if Googs injures himself again and is out of the lineup for a long time.

What would be the point of cutting him? To make room for a 15th player who would spend the whole season on injured reserve? No thanks. Just give Gugliotta back spasms and get him out of the way that way.

Don't we need him for the expansion draft?

He won't be under contract by the time the expansion draft comes along (next year).

Oh darn. Just when I thought he'd be good for something...
