Eh. Agree and disagree. Teahan was Baird's guy. Not Dayton's. Granted, Gordon was Baird's too, however Gordon is considered a can't-miss, no-brainer and would have been anyone's pick in that spot. That's the guy you build around. Right now and over the next year, you play Teahan, hope he stays hot and trade him. Get a couple young arms --maybe more --for him and plug Gordon in at third.

Your only other option would be to try to change his position or Gordon's. As of now, it doesn't look like they're going to do that, as Shealy looks to be the long-term guy at first, and Gordon is still playing third in Wichita, and Teahan is still playing third up here.

I never said anything about Teahen being Baird or Moore's guy. I would not argue Teahen was Baird's guy.

Gordon, can't miss, all-world, sure thing......so good they are trying him in Left Field last I heard.

What I was getting at was: by being Baird's guy, not Moore's, he's more apt to get traded by Moore, which I think they'll eventually do.

T.O. a sec there......that is absurd. Baird could find talen he just didn't know how to run a baseball team.

Prime Example:
Last year Baird held out for a corner outfielder and really wanted Mench from Texas and he never got it.

Moore comes in says the samething...we need a corner outfielder. Nest thing you know we have one. his name is David DeJesus. Then Moore went and got the fastest centerfielder in the game for a song.

Baird had what he wanted in front of him the whole time. He just didn't know it.

Moore did things Baird was too stubborn to do like get rid of Affeldt, bring in pitchers and not hang your hopes on guy named Grienke who can't get out of AA ball.

As far as Teahen and Gordon go. Right now Gordon better learn to play left field, SS or 2nd base and we move Grudz to SS. Butler will replace Sanders in RF and Brown will probably be traded for more pithcing but we need a catcher!

Don't defend the pussy, pussy. It was just a matter of time before Sweeney returned to help contribute to another 100 loss season.

What has Gordon done at the major league level? Nothing. Zero. And you want to trade a young guy who is producing at the major league level to make room for him?
:shake:

Who said I wanted to do anything?

Calm down Pitt, we've just got to get used to sucking at football & baseball... (and give us a year so we can suck at basketball and / or hockey too!) ROFL

Give me the crow; I prefer it smoked with some Gates original or Woody's.
