KingPK 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Holy Shit Matt Holliday almost hit the ball completely out of Coors Stadium. That was one of the longest homeruns I've ever seen. For those who missed definitely check out the replay It bounced off like 30 pairs of hands before a guy finally corralled it. Matt Holliday is the hidden secret of the NL.

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 He's raking for my fantasy team. Two straight years he's been a solid performer for me, both times I've got him off the free agents list. I added him, and sat down Freddy Gonzalez, who could barely hit his weight about a month ago. Now, I moved Sanchez to SS, dropped .230 Steven Drew, and bolstered my bench by adding Adrian Beltre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Bonds? Why not Bonds? He's having a fantastic year, not to mention the game is in San Francisco (which counts for a little in my book). How does Magglio not start? Magglio wouldn't be a bad choice. He's been a hair better than Guerrero this season, but Guerrero's been far better in recent years. I used that to give him the edge. Also the Angels might be the best team in baseball. They should have a starter on the All-Star team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Well, you could say that since Bonds entire latter career is a fraud, he doesn't belong on the all-star team. That'll never happen though. Teamz AL C - Jorge Posada 1B - Justin Morneau 2B - BJ Upton SS - Carlos Guillen 3B - Alex Rodriguez OF - Vladimir Guerrero OF - Magglio Ordonez OF - Ichirio Suzuki DH - David Ortiz SP - Dan Haren NL C - Russ Martin 1B - Prince Fielder 2B - Chase Utley SS - Jose Reyes 3B - Miguel Cabrera OF - Matt Holliday OF - Carlos Lee OF - Ken Griffey Jr. DH - Albert Pujols SP - Jake Peavy Wow, the NL OF sucks this year. Too many underachievers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 No love for the Tigers huh? At least throw Polanco or Maggs a bone. I have a great deal of respect for Placido Polanco. Second base is wide open though and given the choices Roberts has the highest OBP, 23 steals in 27 attempts, and a track record. Mags I'll address next. How does Magglio not start? I've noted before that part of the problem with blaming fans for the voting is the time frame of the balloting. How can you criticize a fan voting in May when he has no way of knowing that Magglio Ordonez would hit .500 in June? (On a related note, holy !#%&!) Vlad's the established talent though and he's having a career year in his own right. At some point last month Vlad was the front-runner for MVP. If the established player is close, I give him the edge. In extreme cases though, such as Andruw Jones, I'll go with the hotter talent. Bonds? It's gonna be rediculous if Cano gets to start and Posada doesn't. Bonds leads in OPS and OBP. The only close player is Matt Holliday and after that it's Adam Dunn, who nobody loves.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 The Yankees should go after him with Damon probably going on the DL. Heck, they should go after him anyway, we need a better bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Milton Bradley didn't get DFA'd because he's underperforming, because he's not. He got DFA'd because he's a walking injury and a cancer. Why else would someone with his numbers get released. I mean shit, the guys only played 100 games twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 I think there is more to the story than we are hearing right now. Bradley's still a very good player and he just came off the DL. Seems like the A's would have tried to work out a trade somewhere before the DFA. Also hearing that Elijah Dukes could be getting DFA'd any moment now.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Yanks DFA Josh Phelps and recall AAAAndy Phillips from Scranton. Does this mean now that Phelps can be reclaimed by the team the Yankees got him from in the Rule V? Eventually. First he must clear waivers. Any team that wants to keep him under the same conditions the Yankees had (must stay on the 25 man roster all year) may do so. If he passes waivers, then the Baltimore Orioles may take him back for a minimal sum, I believe $25,000. Phelps isn't a prospect so it is quite possible that the O's may just pass.

Bored 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Bradley was DFA'd because the A's are overloaded with outfielders, or at least that's the line we'll hear for now. There was reportedly an incident yesterday where Bradley left the clubhouse upset after a meeting with Beane but I'd assume that's when he was told they were going to dump him. I suppose one reason for choosing to DFA Bradley rather than someone else, like Shannon Stewart, is that they should be able to make a deal for him even if it's just for a PTBNL. I'm not completely thrilled with the move as much baggage as he's had, there's been zero problems with him since coming to Oakland on or off the field except for that he can't stay healthy.

I heard Bradley and Billy Beane got in a argument over the existence of Dinosaurs. Wasn't that Carl Everett who said dinosaurs didn't exist? Aramis Ramirez comes back tomorrow and I'm interested to see what becomes of Mike Fontenot. He's supposed to be better than Theriot and he absolutely has been. Theriot's regressed into the below-average player he was projected to be, hitting for no power, unimpressive BA, and poor OBP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
