And, by the way, I should note that Michaels is supposed to be primarily a pinch hitter, and his numbers with men on base are .231/.286/.385 and with men in scoring position are .216/.293/.378/.671.You see, we needed Michaels back because this team is SOOOOO sorely lacking in Veteran Presence, seeing as how he is a 33 year old journeyman and the youngest position player is the wet behind the ears Tommy Manzella, age 27. replica Longines L5.502.4.16.6 Ladie's watch Anyway, back to the subject of even MORE wasteful expenditures (yes it IS possible) Ed Wade obtained Miguel Tejada, a suspected steroids user, the DAY before the Mitchell Report was made public.
Had he waited a day longer, he most likely could have obtained him for significantly less than 3 cheap major leaguers and 2 minor leaguers.Two days after Fast Eddie threw money at Lyons (and no, I don't believe that some other team offered him 2 years at 3.5 mill/year), the list of non-tenders was revealed.Let's take a look at that there list and see if Eddie could have gotten someone just as good and a WHOLE lot cheaper: replica Longines L2.142.4.51.6 Ladie's watch Jose Arrendondo, RH RP, age 25, Angels: fabulous 08, horrific 09?- worth at least a minor league contract- Brian Bass, RH RP, age 28, Orioles: 90 ERA+ over 2 years, 4.87 ERA/ 1.59 WHIP NRI at most- Lance Broadway, rhp, Mets (good looking MAN, bad looking pitcher)-
Matt Capps, RH RP, age 25, Pirates; was their closer for 3 years had a? TERRIBLE year last year, increase in H/9 IP from 8.1 from 06-08, to 12.2 last year.Increased BB/9 a bit as well as HR/9.Maybe he was hurt with the Pirates, youneverknow.DEFINITELY worth a try.- D.J.Carrasco, RH RP, age 32, White Sox: looks a replica Longines L2.175.4.71.4 watch of a lot better than Lyons: last 2 years with Sox, 3.82 ERA/1.36 WHIP a real horse of a RP pitched 93 innings over 49 games with only 1 start.- Clay Condrey, RH RP, age 33, from Beaumont, Phillies: do you need to know anything more? Hows about 6 years, 6 mill a year? Cheap at the price.
