I had forgotten about Randy Ruiz. He was absolutely on fire that month!

Heh, he brought up some old Wilner stuff.

I have seen Jose Bautista, Aaron Hill, Randy Ruiz, Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay look very good so far. Granted, it’s stupid early, but it’s better to look good than not. I still don’t understand why the way has been paved for Bautista to have an everyday job, but they can’t find a spot to give Ruiz a legitimate chance to play. Ruiz is older and far weaker defensively, but he’s had nothing but success as a major-league hitter. Bautista has had many years of mediocre offensive production in the big leagues.

The original Alex Gonzalez, and Homer Bush are both obvious additions.

I was a huge Raul Mondesi fan

he was no shawn green, but he did ok for 2 seasons, a great arm and dangerous bat. looking back gord ash was a horrible gm. the trades he made make you crazy.

and to think we could have had michael young. FU Loieza!

LOL I remember that.
Probably one of Wilner's more forgettable moments (or memorable, depends on how you look at it).
Granted, hindsight, and all that...
