You know Garcia is going to get one of the starting spots. And does anyone think he is going to be successful? It would be great but even if he 100% physically healthy, we both know he is not cured of his tendancy to piss down his leg at the first sign of trouble.

How are we suppose to improve hitting LHP? We already have a right heavy line up?

How does the owner walk back his statement that basically said no way in hell we trade Tulo? What about his effort in that series when we played him? A fluke?

Oddly, his injury makes Adams more expendable because it makes Craig less versatile, but unless he learns to hit LHP, Adams is the kind of guy that just kills teams in the postseason. He'll be a white Ryan Howard vs. Rzepczynski for the next half decade in those situations.

I agree. I like Craig a whole helluva lot better than Adams and the two major lower body injuries concerns me too. We need to keep him at 1B.
Ties back the Tulo trade. One young stud pitcher/Adams/AA prospect should get us Tulo, orrect?
