we could just start getting in fights every 5 days or so....

get a starter suspended…and then just go with a 4 man rotation or something….depending on who is currently suspended….might make the rest of the season fun

question:

has luke hochevar been performing as you expected he would?

by powderbluepower on Aug 13, 2008 9:30 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He performs pretty good for about 4-5 innings

but that 3rd time thru is always a absolute killer for him.

Guillen making us long for vintage Emil

Brown 2006: .287/.358/.457 OPS+ 109

Guillen 2008: .258/.289/.455 OPS+ 91
