He's proved to me he's up to the task. He's been so successful we had better watch out for the Yankess, Cubs etc coming after him. Excellent job so far. And Dewitt has proven he's no cheapskate.

Holliday can still shove that bag of sunflower seeds up his ass, but if he keeps Pujols here, his albatross of a contract will be worth it.

Hey Mo and Dewitt while your passing out the big bucks...lets lock up Pujols forever in the Birds on Bat. He's going to get the biggest contract evah. If anyone has ever been worth it, Pujols is. Pull the trigger. Give us our own "Stan the Man" for this generation.

He showed so little progress last season that I really think you can call him stalled. He's not 22, the kid will be 28 yrs old this season and doesn't even have the beginnings of a breaking ball. He made absolutely no traction in that area as the season went on. His velocity plummeted down to around 93 and his command was shaky at best by season's end. The only time he got anyone out was when someone was kind enough to hit a bullet right at someone. Honestly, I'd slot him behind Boggs and Hawksworth in my RH relief corps, which is to say that he likely wouldn't make the team.

Hawksworth should be allowed to compete for the 5th spot along with Garcia and Boggs.
Penny is better than Pineiro's career year.

I'm sure they are all going to get plenty of starts in spring training. Unless Smoltz drops his price and then he could be back as the 5th starter.

And I agree with Franklin. I hope he proves us wrong but I don't see a repeat of last year in 2010. Every team has holes, even the Yankees. But a reliable closer isn't one of them if you expect to win a Champiionship.

Franklin's 15 minutes were up in August. They call it regression to the mean for a reason.
If they run him out there as closer for more than a month... ![]()
