Guest bob_barron Report post Posted July 14, 2003 Who would want Jeremy Burnitz and his big fat head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 14, 2003 The Dodgers would take anyone who can make contact with the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted July 14, 2003 So why'd they take Burnitz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 14, 2003 Burnitz has 18 home runs and he's missed some time. He's not Bonds, but he's hasn't had a horrible year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2003 Giving up Diaz sucks...he's a great prospect in that organization... Eh, i'm a Giants fan...Burnitz isn't gonna do much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 14, 2003 Specify the Diaz, there's two of them. Wow. Victor Diaz was born on the exact same day I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 It's Victor...and he's a great prospect out of their AAA ballclub. He led off the future stars game yesterday with a double. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 15, 2003 The Dodgers have now signed Rickey Henderson as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 15, 2003 ^ Seriously? I thought for sure he'd sign with a A.L team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Rickey signs with Dodgers There's your link. Surprised it was the Dodgers, but I'm just glad he found a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 For those interested heard a rumor tonight that if the A's can get someone to take Terrence Long off their hands they will deal Aaron Harang and two prospects (Esteban German and Bobby Crosby) to the Pirates for Brian Giles. Getting someone stupid enough to take Long and his contract will be a tough task though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 15, 2003 If I'm the Pirates, I take that deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Just went on LA's web site -- it pretty much sums up why Burnitz was needed. Green and McGriff have 10 homers a piece. Four others, including the injured Jordan, have 6. Two others have 5. Burnitz's 18 is almost more than LA's top two sluggers combined. Heck, it's almost 1/3 of LA's total home-run production of 59...

Guest Spicy McHaggis Report post Posted July 15, 2003 So the Dodgers now have 5 starting OF's, including the injured Roberts and Jordan. Now what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Now hopefully they add up to a hitter or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted July 15, 2003 I really don't think a homerun hitter is what you truly need, just a guy who's a consistent hitter and is able to provide runs. There have been many teams that didn't have a "stand-out" homerun hitter and they were quite successful. I'm not fully aware of the Dodgers' situation, but I doubt that getting a homerun hitter is going to change things that much. That said, Burnitz has proven that he's able to not only hit a fair amount of homeruns, but drive in his fair share of runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Well no matter what the Dodgers had to add offense. With their pitching it is incredibly hard NOT to make it to the postseason but there offense is about the equal of the Tigers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 15, 2003 The Dodgers desperately needed ANY kind of hitter. Their pitching is the only thing keeping them from the cellar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 15, 2003 A team that has McGriff, Green, Jordan shouldn't be having offensive problems... Oh well fuck the dodgers anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Jordan is out for the season, and McGriff is injured. I don't trust their starting pitching. They've already lost Dreifort and Brown is very injury prone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Ah...I don't follow the damn team...Didn't know that shit... But what's Green's Excuse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 15, 2003 IMO..Green's highly overrated. But he's still a good hitter. What's wrong with him. I have no idea. He's trying to do too much. He's hurt. I don't follow the Dodgers either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spicy McHaggis Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Ah...I don't follow the damn team...Didn't know that shit... But what's Green's Excuse? No heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 16, 2003 That was a page out of KKK's book. The racials or ethnic slur followed by the long pause and the jk comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest undisputedjericho Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Burnitz was basically the only thing out there, and as a Yankee fan, the Pirates want to much for Giles as I've heard (I think they asked for Nick Johnson, Juan Rivera, and Brandon Claussen) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
