Neftali Feliz and Derek Holland should turn into something akin to Garza or Kazmir. We’ve got a ton of pitching talent in the system right now – as long as we don’t go making any stupid trades, we’re bound to hit upon something.

We clearly no longer even slightly care about this season. I guess I can’t blame them- with pitching so bad it’s almost indescribable, there has to be a lot of tension between hitters and pitching.

  My concern is they are going to destroy the confidence of heaps more rookie pitchers by tossing them into the fire the rest of this season. No use sending someone with any sort of potential out there to total up a double-digit era- these guys (Hunter, Mendoza, etc.. clearly are not even remotely close to major league caliber yet).

i really like Kinsler and i think he’s a great player but i dont see him continuing having these types of season. So would you guys consider trading him for some GOOD young pitching. We could ask Young to move to 2nd and then have Andrus at SS or vaiello at 2nd. i think we could get a lot of pitching for Ian, his numbers look good and he’s a 2nd baseman. JD should consider it

but we need 2 or 3 guys that can just hold up health wise and have around a 5 or 6 era- as mediocre as that is, it’s a LOT LOT better than entering a game with no chance to win as we are right now.
