and he's older

and he doesn’t have the same defensive flexibility.

I get that it doesn’t matter, but I don’t see how this isn’t a clear cut downgrade all the way around.

JC
LoneStarDugout Just spoke with our Yankees publisher, Patrick Teale, on Hilligoss. He says: Very good hitting talent, but not patient enough…

LoneStarDugout …Teale thinks he is best suited for second base. Basically, Hilligoss was a solid prospect two yrs ago, but he has fallen off the radar.

you know how there is a rule where you should be wary of college guys who put up good Low A numbers

what does it say when a college guy completely sucks in low A and then tanks 2 years in a row in high A.

Doesn’t it seem like this guy is going to retire after a bad first half?

by ab03 on Jan 26, 2010 2:03 PM CST up reply actions  

i take that back

he didn’t completely suck in low A if he he is a middle infield prospect. but he wasn’t good

Riley cash and this cash

let’s go put that towards Garko or Tatis

by NothinG on Jan 26, 2010 2:08 PM CST reply actions  

looking at all the possible 1B/Bench types out there that could come in on a cheap deal

and it’s a long list that we could easily sign someone like that to add depth on the offensive side.

Garko
Tatis
Gomes
Thome
Sheffield
Delgado

other guys to list just because I can, although I don’t want them
Dye
Damon
Crede
Garciaparra (no thanks)

oh and of course, there’s always
little Cat
and Blalock

February is less than a week away. If we can get approval to spend a couple mil, I don’t see how you couldn’t jump on one of these candidates as insurance for complete suckrage or more injuries. Depth is what makes teams like NY and Boston so good.

well

filter that list for only RH

by ab03 on Jan 26, 2010 3:04 PM CST up reply actions  

why

if Davis tanks, I don’t think handedness would matter, and, this would also be insurance for Vlad.

Thome and Delgado could still be out of the question, but if you can get 1 of the RH bats, then fine. I’d still be thrilled with either, Sheff, Gomes, Tatis, or Garko as insurance.

Do you think anyone above would want to come to Texas

and sit on the end of the bench just to be an insurance policy for CD?

by RangerMad on Jan 26, 2010 3:16 PM CST up reply actions  

yes

I think as ST approaches, these guys are going to want to be on a team and get there guaranteed paycheck, and I don’t see many starting gigs out there for these guys. Some will have to accept backup/bench roles. Why not here, where if you look at it, they could get alot of playing time if Davis sucks, or Vlad gets hurt. Even if Davis is ok, a platoon situation could arise.

Thome just accepted a role with the Twins as a pinch hitter

so I think others will fall in line as well

by NothinG on Jan 26, 2010 6:27 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm interested in Garko, like a lot around here

but I’m also interested in Delgado.

I know he’s a lefty, but I think he’s got a good line against LHP anyway. He’d be an adequate option to fill in at 1B and could DH if we’ve got Hamilton or Vlad on the DL.

I think he’s got to take a one-year contract to prove he can still plaayee-aa.

add Reed Johnson

I think a backup plan in CF would be a good idea.

What a drag it is being broke.

by tricer on Jan 26, 2010 8:02 PM CST up reply actions  

If Borbon pulls a CD

then you’d have Hamilton in CF everday (bad idea) and Murphy in a corner playing everyday (another bad idea). If you could get a guy like Johnson for a couple mil, that would be a nice contingency plan.

I'm for it

I just wonder if there isn’t a better opportunity for him elsewhere.. I wish we could just swap him for Murphy.

Whoa whoa whoa...

Greg Golson is black? I don’t know how I hadn’t seen a pic of him until now, and didn’t see the one game he appeared in last year.
