Bad response dude. You might want to re-think your position n00b.

Are you having a bad day or something? Who cares if posts these updates?

I living on the water in Saint Petersburg. I can see Dolphins and Manatees playing in the water sitting in my barcolounger. It's pretty hard to have a bad day. Since Skip has been gone, no one is around to keep the n00bs inline.:)

Posting minor league info is important. Don't bash a n00b who is going out of his way to do that.

How 'bout we nominate someone that isn't a moron?

The AFL stuff is handy.

Keep it coming, IC - I'm intrigued to know just how god-awful Pete Kozma can be on several different levels.

Kozma will never be a starter in the major leagues. Why anyone who has saw him play thinks he will be a starter, I'll never know.

3B Zack Cox 0-for-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K (hitting .077 thus far in the young AFL season)

He has the potential of being a Utility Infielder. Right now, I want to see what Descalso can do at 2B and see if a platoon with Greene/Ryan would have any success.

you can get utility infielders off the waiver wire. He's a failed draft pick.

He's a failed draft pick for where he was picked, but if he somehow manages to have a DeRosa-esque career, I will be surprised.

Kozma has nowhere near DeRosa's power. Of course, he doesn't have his ability to hit for even a marginal average either.

Kozma's the worst kind of draft pick: A reach that everyone knows is a reach who lives down to his expectations.

We should have paid above slot for Porcello.

BTW, what the hell ever happened to Anderson? I thought he was the next great catcher of baseball? Great trade bait etc.?

I'm much more forgiving about individual draft picks in baseball compared to other sports. Baseball is such a crap shoot. The sure thing flops more than any other sport. 400 times baseball teams passed on Pujols etc,. You just need a good overall record. One that we defintely need to improve on. We need more Garcia's, Rasmus's.

If we took Porcello, we wouldn't have Miller. I'd rather Miller, IMHO. We should see him next year in September, if he progresses alot.

Anderson could still be used as trade bait to get someone, but he'd have to traded with another player. Also, if we do trade Anderson, and the PD brought this up, Bengie or Jose Molina could come to STL and be the backup. That would be pretty cool. Anyways, I don't want to trade Anderson anymore because of the way Yadi regressed offensively.
