Jimbo stands pat.

We need another slugger.

The offense has been piss poor as of late.

We won't make the playoffs if:


Soriano can't live up to his 130 million +

Bringing up Murton/Cedeno..

Howry/ohman can't get it together..

surprisingly that's it.

Prediction is looking good.

Jimbo didn't upgrade the bullpen.. Howry, Dempster, Wuertz, Ohman are all ****.

Gagne would have looked nice closing out games w/ Marmol setting up.

i would exclude howry from the list.... his strengths (fastball outer half vs lefties) didn't help him as he was also pitching into hamilton's strength...... I miss alfonso

Alfonso would be good as our 3 hitter. Ramirez 4. Lee down in the order.

Imagine if the Cubs relievers were pitching in Boston right now. That is a very scary thought. :noway:

DLee needs to move down in the batting order if he can't bring up his performance.

When Soriano comes back, if DLee is still what he is now...

3-Rammy
4-Soriano
5-DLee
6-DeRosa

Theriot at leadoff and Fontenot, Kendall(wow he looked good at the 2hole), even JJ can man the 2hole.

Lee has been so much better than Soriano this year.

Lee has been more consistent but Soriano has had more power. I like Rammy at the 3 spot since our 1-2 guys have been pretty good at getting on. Then Soriano at 4 since he has more power than Lee. Rammy has been really patient at the plate this year, much like 03 and part of 04. He slipped a little bit from 04-05, now he looks a lot like the old Rammy that first came here, but better.

Lee hasn't been as patient at the plate as we've seen the last couple of years. He looks frustrated right now, my guess, probably from early in the year when all the strikes he would get were breaking balls. The inside fastballs that he use to see aren't coming and pitchers have stayed away from the inside all together. Since then he has had a hard time of adjusting, hence his avg. plummeting.

...bottom of the first inning...

What did I say about DLee with lots of oppo flyouts and swinging for power?

Alfonso's slugging .511 and Lee is slugging .492. A decent difference I guess, but considering Lee has a .403 OBP compared to Soriano's .336, I don't think he deserves to hit behind Alfonso. Soriano's too much of a free swinger to be that valuable.

this team will not make the playoffs if someone in the NL central has a better record than them and if 3 other teams in the NL have better records
