Thats ok, having the second most championships in baseball history, the best player in baseball, and lots of good young players coming up, 2008 will be the year the Cardinals go back to the top.Your reign will be short; the Cardinals won't even sniff the playoffs this year.
Should I be happy that at least they battled? Seriously, what a piece of team right now. They are the Reds first sweep in a freakin year...
I hear you. The good news is the DBacks will not lose today. I guarantee!
They won't win, either...
That's ok. Neither did the Dodgers.
I hope one of the DBacks actually gets to play before this score gets out of hand in the ASG!
Good win yesterday. Davis pitched ty, but the results wouldn't tell it. Still, only allowing three runs in all of it was too bad.
Great to see the Diamondbats wake up.
dbacks beat cubs today 3-2 drew homer in 8th to win it
They are 4-5 since the break. Dodgers are probably 6-3. With how crappy they played to close out the first half, they'll need to do much better than .500 to keep on pace.
Exactly, they will have to be much better than .500.
Now I'm hearing the DBacks are probably going to be sellers. I'm hearing Livan Hernandez (from Sportscenter tonight), and obviously Byrnes and Hudson are names that won't stop getting phone calls since the DBacks put both of their contract negotiations on hold.
i wouldnt mind any of them being traded
Hudson still has a year left, so I'm unsure why they'd trade him this year. Also, they get draft pick compensation when Byrnes walks, plus he puts butts in the seats this year, so I doubt he's traded. At least not just traded to be traded.
Livan and Doug Davis are definately options. As should be Conor Jackson.
giving up on a youngster like Conor Jackson already?
Hmmm....
I wouldn't say already. This is his third season, and his power isn't near what is should be, his average isn't much better than .280 when on, and he's a right-handed bat, same as other top D-Backs prospects, Chris Young, Carlos Quentin, Mark Reynolds, Scott Hairston, Jeff Salazar as well as their top two outfield prospects in the minors, Justin Upton and Carlos Gonzalez.
With Reynolds' emergance at third, Tracy playing first is a much better lineup for power (mainly thanks to Mark) and average (Tracy). That leaves Jackson for spot duty at first, and in the outfield, that's already close to six/seven deep.
I'm not giving up, but trading a redundant talent for a need, either pitching, or a lefty power bat for the outfield.
I'd be willing to trade Hernandez/Jackson/Hairston for a top-level talent. A centending team would be wise to snatch this up. They get a quality #3/#4 pitcher, a proven average hitter who can play first and outfield, and a quality top-teir batting prospect fresh off an MVP of the PCL last season.
I'm merely trying to discuss a remedy to the logjam of righthanded bats, average first-basemen and the glut of outfield prospects.
you trade Brynes now because his value will not be any higher then now and can get more immediate help then a draft choice that may or may not make to the dbacks
I understand that, but he's the current face of the franchise. He's a fan favorite and he puts asses in the seats. It'd be a tough seel without him out there getting filthy and swinging hard for the fences... I realize his stats have him overvalued right now, but cutting ties now would hurt their rest of the season take.
Yusmeiro Pe lightts out today for 3-0 win over cubs
I can't believe the Diamondbacks got this kid for Jorge Julio...
He's been a very solid starter for a kid that wasn't expected to be counted upon, nor expected to even play with the Marlins again.
He, Owings and Webb make up a solid little group of pitchers, and if they can acquire another quality youngster/star, then I'll be exstatic.
Nippert and Gonzalez have shown some flashes as well, though each appear to be great out of the pen, average, at best, when starting.
Pe has been awesome filling in for Randy
I hope DBacks mgt realizes they are not out of the race, and need to be buyers before the deadline- not sellers. Taking two of three from the hottest team in the NL over the weekend on the road should be proof of that.
make that 4 in a row and gained on la 2.5 back now
I really like that the Diamondbacks are stealing more bases. They have plenty of speed, and if they pick their spots, they should be a very dangerous team. It's really jumpstarted some games, and even comebacks, for them of late.
I'm telling you, there's no reason Chris Young can't be a 70 steals per season guy in the future.
dbacks win 5th in a row and gain again on la and sd
Just 1.5 out. Looking like some youngsters are starting to hit. Maybe they are just hot right now, but a little confidence can go a long way. Hopefully Hairston can build off of last night to join Drew, Young, Snyder and Reynolds. Throw in Jackson as well.
