Murphy and Davis need to be flip-flopped
But other than that, that’s a good lineup.
by lonestarJon on Jul 25, 2008 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah...
just noticed that. Not sure why I thought he was left handed.

Dont worry,
I thought Gallagher was lefty for a long time too, before i saw him pitch earlier this year.
by tyd3311 on Jul 25, 2008 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I always got confused between him and Sean Marshall
when all the Cubs trade talk was flying this summer. Marshall is the lefty though.

That’s exactly why I thought he was a lefty, I was thinking of Marshall.

I still think our strongest possible lineup could be
Kinsler
Blalock
Young
Hamilton
Bradley
Davis
Byrd
Murphy

alternating the LH and RH hitters like that, but I just don’t like MY in the 3 hole.

need to be switched in that lineup order.

by tyd3311 on Jul 25, 2008 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It would make sense for both
the Sox get Ramirez to SS and Ellis at 2B, and Fields steps right in as the starter for the A’s.
If the A’s start stocking up on position guys too…

Hatcher is a 3rd down rusher. And Bowen? really?

by Longhorn on Jul 25, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ratliff NT/DE
This guy is the key to the whole thing.
If Siavii can be the backup NT to Tank, then Ratliff slides back to his more natural DE to start with Canty. Hatcher is the pass rusher. And Spears becomes a solid trade chip.
I am more for keeping Spears b.c. he has loads of talent, but if he becomes a backup, he is pretty expensive.

AJM said
My initial reaction is…really?That’s the best the A’s could do for Rich Harden?
I assume that John Donaldson is actually Josh Donaldson, who is a sandwich pick from last year who is doing nothing in the MWL.
I assume the A’s love Gallagher, because there’s not a lot else there they are getting.

And the defense, the value of playing center, the OBP, the OPS and such stuff as the last time I checked rookie VORP he was right about in the same range as most rookie position players this year.
BP is down and I haven’t looked in a few days, so I’m admittedly somewhat going by memory. According to ESPN, though, he’s third among position players in runs created. With the defense and the base running, I’d put him in the same range as most rookie non-pitchers who aren’t Longoria.
