Not a trade, but Chan Ho comes to mind doesn't he?

The trade that guy proposes is ridiculous.

He's certainly throwing a lot of spaghetti up against the wall, that's for sure.

And how on earth does he figure Gallo could step right into a starting position with the Padres?

Holland looking a little rough... hopefully he is just testing some things out

Colby too but like you said, probably working on some things.

Not worried about any of our veteran pitchers right now.

I may be wrong but it seems like Cobra always uses most Spring to tinker around.

Yeah I'm not really either... hard to really make much out of Spring Training games. On paper you got to like what you see though.

He always gets hard all spring training and then makes his last two starts the real deal.

Yeah, thats it.

One of these days I got to plan a vacation around Spring training and make a trip to Surprise.

I'm awfully cagey about trading for NL pitchers who pitch in cavernous pitcher friendly parks.

Ain't that the truth but more so being patient for getting catcher her without losing the farm

 

[romeo212000]

Just saw Holland K'd 4. He'll be fine.

Exactly. Gallo is pretty damn close to untouchable. To include him in a package it would have to be for something for certain than that imo.

I am not betting against Gallo figuring it out. Powe like that is a rare animal. I do like a multiple player trade but I think we have to think a bit more creative than unloading our #1 prospect in the deal.

So who do you think is starting 2B and SS come mid season?

Odor & Andrus

Better question would LF, CF, 1B or catcher

Without doing the math it looks like Colby's ERA the last 4 ST have averaged out to just under 7.00.

Yeah, there are really a lot of positions you can question with all the depth. I'm just thinking what happens when Hamilton is healthy? He very well may ride the bench but Desmond is looking like a guy you want in the lineup every day. Also, what do you do if Profar is performing really well at that point? Great problems to have.

Things have a way of working themselves out.

Hey has anyone heard anything on Matt Bush ? I remember he got signed after being released from prison.
