[Troll Daddy]

Is he Jewish?

[tomsred]

Is he Jewish?

 

I think so, maybe you can figure it out from this.  He got married in San Diego in 2007.

In before Calhoun for a number 3 starter

[maximus p]

I think if you are older than 10 or 11, you go by Bill, or Will, just not Billy.  Unless it is your grandma, you go by Bill.

 

So it is written...

I'm hoping he finds us another RF to platoon with Calhoun. He went in the tank the final month and was abysmal vs LHP. After that, I think I'd settle for Heyward and a bullpen piece.

Calhoun hit lefties well in hte minors and was acceptable even last season so hopefully 2015 is just an anomaly.

 

2013:  VS RHP .262 .333 OBP .782 OPS

           VS LHP .340 .389 OBP .889 OPS

 

2014:  VS RHP .277 .326 OBP .793 OPS

           VS LHP .252 .322 OBP .710 OPS

 

2015:  VS RHP .272 .316 OBP .763 OPS

           VS LHP .220 .293 OBP .663 OPS

His wife looked good in the OC Register pics of the press conference.

This place went apeshit over us platooning a bad defensive David Murphy, just a hunch you're the only one who wants to see a Calhoun platoon. Now if you're talking about a Cowgill type that gives Calhoun days of rest against Sale and Keuchel I could see that.

[Troll Daddy]

It would be cool if he fired one of the coaches just to show who's boss.

Am I still eligible for the 1st page?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Murphy wasn't terrible against LHP last year, at least not the way Calhoun was. I think what I have on mind for a platoon RF is a CJ Cron type (hitter, not fielder of course). Someone I can trust vs lefties only that I wouldn't have a problem slotting 5th or 6th in the lineup. The RF gap is easily defendable as is, but Kole's defensive abilities are underrated. He really does make some amazing plays.

[Tank]

i think the 14th joey

[Tank]

is just trying to pad his post count.

[Tank]

cut it out, joey.
