Aaron Rowand for Linebrink rumor tabled.

[padrefanforever]

I'd bet Rowand makes that catch in CF during game 162 !

[HollywoodLeo]

There's no telling whether or not that game would have played out the same with Rowand on the team, or if the outcome of the game would have even been important.

[padrefanforever]

No telling if that game would have even been needed for that matter.....but I'll be he makes that catch

[HollywoodLeo]

The game would have been played regardless.

Or did you mean game 163?

[padrefanforever]

Ugh.....I edited that from 163 to 162 also..... :lol Give you any indication how my weeks gone......basic math has left me

[HollywoodLeo]

must be harsh, you're inputing the SOSD code to try and make the smiley.

[padrefanforever]

LOLOLOL........ Well if that's any indicator as to why my attitude might have been a little harsh this week.......it's been one helluva shitty week.....mercifully it's over tomorrow

How do you have 40,000+ posts over there? It's slightly ridiculous.

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't have 40,000+ posts over there

The offense pretty much sucked last year as well, but it wasn't until the bullpen collapsed that the team started spiraling towards the basement.


Can't have had Linebrink and Rowand, though.

The offense wouldn't have sucked so bad is the whole point.

No one said you could have both. I said you can have the argument that giving up on him was a mistake with how well he is pitching this year.

But the bullpen, starting pitching (especially after Jake and CY go down), and the offensive players that didn't suck quite so much last year but do this year still would have.

Would Rowand have been enough to overcome all of that to make the Padres a contender this year?

No one said you could have both. I said you can have the argument that giving up on him was a mistake with how well he is pitching this year.

Fair enough, but anytime you can trade a relief pitcher for 2 good pitching prospects you pull the trigger IMO.

20 HR power!

Yep, he sure did. What a waste of time that turned out being

Dang this had 9 pages.

When a conversation is about Terrmel Sledge and Brady Anderson, it ALWAYS gets 9 pages.
