He just knocks you off the board and tell you you suck at Connect Four, then he kicks water coolers all over the clubhouse, getting gatorade on everything. So I don't think his bat makes up for that.Roberto E.

He worked with the manager in Texas where he was productive. Presumably Wakamatsu would have input in whether they go after guys and he must have given his ok. The other thing that might help is having a guy like Griffey around who can tell some one to chill and seems to engage with team mates.<br /><br />Silva was just eating a roster spot when he wasn't on the DL or eating anything else he could get his hands on (this is coming from a chubby guy mind you). I did go to one game he pitched that was pretty fun to watch, he gave up eight hits in six innings, but only three runs, Ichiro threw Vlad out at the plate and Gary Mathews Jr. hit into three double plays and grounded out twice more.Jon Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622111996207578594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-63286788349790956812009-12-18T13:17:28.836-08:002009-12-18T13:17:28.836-08:00Believe it or not, this could be a great move for ...Believe it or not, this could be a great move for the M's. Bradley seems to do well when he's not under a national spotlight, and the media in Seattle is pretty mellow. He gives them a legit bat in the order and all he cost them was a terrible 50 ERA+ pitcher that they were overpaying. See <a href="http://leutbneot.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">my blog</a> for a discussion on this later. I think the M's are making good moves.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937082190844072547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-87136529901102622432009-12-18T10:58:43.868-08:002009-12-18T10:58:43.868-08:00now Heyman is tweeting that the Ms are including c...now Heyman is <a href="http://twitter.com/SI_JonHeyman/status/6804794796" rel="nofollow">tweeting</a> that the Ms are including cash with Silva. Yep, they definitely gave up. I guess the threat of Matsui in their division overwhelmed them.Roberto E.

But you didn't deny fighting with yourself, which is strange. <br /><br />Admittedly, it's not the first time I've made this mistake, as I did it long ago to another commenter (she may have been anonymous also, can't remember). Then, I started assuming that certain commenters were women, only to find out they weren't, so I switched back, but now that's come to bite me. My life is hard. I'm glad you laughed though.Roberto E.
