UNBELIEVABLE, PART II
From today's LA Times:
This has got to be one of the dumbest ideas printed in quite awhile; either that, or Florida believes Stoneman the Emotional has the IQ of a decapitated toad. Do you know how many Angel hitters have slugging percentages above .500? Not counting the injured, here's a hint: it's more than one and less than three. You get no points for guessing who they are.
The idea of trading your second-best offensive player in the middle of a pennant race (which we are firmly in, by the way) is patently absurd. Who comes up with this stuff?
From today's LA Times:
The Florida Marlins, rebuffed in their efforts to acquire Arizona outfielder Steve Finley and skeptical of their chances of landing Colorado's Larry Walker, are making a strong push to acquire Angel left fielder Jose Guillen, according to a Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel report.Say what???
The Marlins are believed to be dangling two top prospects, including double-A right-hander Randall Messenger, whose fastball has been clocked at 96 mph, in hopes of convincing General Manager Bill Stoneman that he could replenish his farm system if he trades for Arizona ace Randy Johnson.
