Adrian Gonzalez
The awarding of the waiver claim on Adrian Gonzalez to the Los Angeles Dodgers is just one
more example of how a new, positive, money rich owner can turn around a
baseball team in less than one year. The Dodgers are doing everything they can
humanly do to make the playoffs this year, but the worst they are going to come
out of all this is a killer team next year. You just wait for the off
season. You’ve see nothing yet!
Terry Collins
I never thought I’d be writing
something like this, but one must start to wonder if this team has quit on TC
and a change for next year would be the way to go. You could finish this season
with Tim Teufel holding the fort down, take 3-4
months to shop around, and rid the roster of everyone who has no future on this
team. Promote your prospects come Oct 2 and have some fun for a month. An
option.
LA-Boston Deal
Taking the Adrian
Gonzalez portion of this post that was obviously written earlier than
this portion, I’m writing this at a time before any confirmation of the
blockbuster deal that is floating around the internet, but you have to give
credit to these two teams. One (Boston) is willing to admit out front that they
need to rebuild, and the other (LAD) are telling their fans that they are ‘all
in’ for the playoffs. I miss rooting for a team like this.

Bullpen Management
Adam Rubin made a very good point Friday night about using Josh Edgin five out of
the last six games. What happened to the long man practice? Why can’t someone
like Chris Schwinden be on this staff and send
Josh back to AAA until September? Schwinny can give you 3-4 innings every four
days, especially in games against blockbuster teams like Colorado and Houston. What
exactly is Terry trying to do here? Do you want a young arm to come up dead or
injured. God, I wish this season would end.

Wally next year?
I don't know. He can be quite the handful and I'm not sure he could handle the NY press/fans.
They really need a Davey Johnson type.
I'll take Tony LaRussa.
