And Biggio, who I WISH would be a utility guy.Yesterday, Adam asked me, “Other than the minors, I see two options for your Stros OF problems: You could go after a free agent (J.D.Drew, Magglio Ordonez or even Steve Finley).Or you could trade a prospect for some team's 4th outfielder and try to improve your other positions to replica IWC 3255-05 watch make up for what you'll be losing in the OF.Which of those things do you think the 'stros will do, and which would you like to see them do?”1 what do I THINK the Stros will do?What is really bothering me is that I don't know what McLane is up to.I have a bad feeling that he wants to go cheap and is gonna pretend that he's trying hard to get Carlos, etc, but will bring back Kent, who we don't need, and show that at least we could “afford” Kent.
I'm sure he regrets the giant, long, expensive contract he gave to Bagwell (interesting that you NEVER hear his name when all the knowitalls talk about big expensive contracts that hurt the team) and he isn't gonna try to sign either Berkman or Everett long term.He'll make the excuse that Berkman's hurt, so he'll hafta see, and of course, he replica IWC 3548-05 watch get Everett for 3 more years for pretty cheap and non-tender him if he gets too expensive his arb years.Problem is, this isn't gonna go over with the fans.Next to Roger, Lance is the most popular player and if the fans think that Mclean doesn't want the homeboy hero, he's gonna lose a LOT of fans and a LOT of $.
I don't know if Purpura is a yes-man, but Hunsicker sure nuff wasn't.I know that Hunsicker actually answered questions and was pretty open.I know that Purpura sounds like a politician (and on the scale of humanity, I put ALL politicians just barely replica IWC 5001-04 watch above baby rapers) and I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.So I don't know what's up.I think McLane doesn't want a losing team, but he doesn't trust baseball people enough to let them run things, and he wants enough to end up with records over 500.I haven't heard a WORD about negotiations with Carlos.
