    Yes he has 2 tools I think. Juan Encarnacion had three, he had the arm too. But neither of them had the glove, or the hit/OBP. I sort of hope the Harris regime prioritizes those 2 over power.

    Baddoo still has the tantalizing power and speed.
  3. Jim Cowan
    Yeah that's the key, how could a guy who never pays for anything actually buy something? It seems unlikely that he pulled out a credit card.

    It's the all-righthanded lineup today, featuring Ibanez in left field.

    Next spring the plan is to try Larish, Fick and Munson at third.

    Campbell actually admitted that - he let the '68 team get old, his biggest regret.
  7. Jim Cowan
    Yes and at his first interview the reporters were kidding him about wearing number 29 and he said yeah they gave me the fat guy's uniform. So they pressed him a bit more about why he had asked for number 29 and he said no, I'm not kidding, this is actually Lolich's uniform. That's how cheap Jim Campbell could be.

    I thought that we had agreed that Joey Wentz wasn't going to pitch anymore.

    I thought that we had agreed that McKinstry was not going to lead off anymore.

    Yes, they needed to make room for Steve Kemp, so Horton was traded, but Campbell brought him back for Opening Day one more time.
  11. Jim Cowan
    Yes, say what you will about Jim Campbell but that was a nice touch. Obviously the trade was made in spring training but Campbell brought him back to Detroit for one more game and started him in left field, which had not happened very often in the preceding years, so that he could hear the applause.

    Ryan's a freak and I am pretty sure that he was lifting weights, and denying it, back when people like Sparky Anderson would fine you if they found out about it.

    Oh good call on Tigers/A's.
  14. Jim Cowan
    Yes, good old Ralph, "who had managed the Yankees to World Series wins" lol!!!, was hired as a caretaker of the mid-70's crap teams while the best of the Bill Lajoie drafts was still percolating in the minors, and then when his time was up after 1978 and I so so very desperately wanted the job to go to Jim Leyland but they gave it to Les Moss instead, I was crushed.

    He read those, and put on some extra cologne.

    Malloy in particular has nothing left to prove, he has a .420 OBP at every level. If that means he can do .375 in the majors he needs to be there.

    Lol he sounds like every other crook: "forces behind the scenes have repeatedly attempted to silence my voice"

    Another route that works is to be the half-wit son of a famous baseball executive, like Smith and McHale.

    My complaint about Willi was that if corner OF was his best position he didn't have enough bat to be there.

    Manning has 50 strikeouts in 78 innings???
  21. Jim Cowan
    I think a lot of people did. And while it is nice for him to be playing better this year, a guy who misses 35 games still doesn't deliver the value that you would hope for.

    "Springtime for Hitler"?
  23. Jim Cowan
    Over this coming winter he has to be penciled in as a lock for the rotation, with a WHIP of 1.11 as of right now.
  24. Jim Cowan
    I agree. He will get lots of rope, along with Vierling and Maton, to justify the Harris transactions. But you can't carry all 3 of them. Maybe not even 2 of them.
  25. Jim Cowan
    It's really easy to like that kid and I hope that we don't keep him out after his curfew.
