Sexson waived...again
"But the dramatic holes in the first baseman's swing made him too easy an out."
2 teams think he's crap now...is there anybody who still thinks we should sign him?

Melky demoted too
I’d imagine he’ll be trade bait this winter.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Maybe we can buy low on Melky and Francouer (Braves).
With they’re struggles they may come cheap. A change of scenery may do them good.
Not a terrible idea
I’m not that wild about either due to a lack of plate discipline, but so long as it didn’t take too much to get them, I’d be for getting young, high upside guys with diminished market value.

I'm not against it
I just don’t see Melky as a high upside guy. I wouldn’t give up much for him.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

You could add
Ryan Garko to that wishlist of “high upside guys with diminished market value.”
Ryan Garko has a high upside?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

Maybe not high upside
but someone who has some power, who could be had relatively cheaply.
What would you give up for him?
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

not sure
Cleveland needs relief pitching in a bad way. Maybe a reliever and a fringe prospect?
Do you mean a real reliever with a future?
Like Nunez or R.Ramirez? If so, I say no thanks. The scouts have never liked his tools and his numbers took a massive nosedive this season. I have no idea if he’d revert back to his 2006/07 hitting, something more like 2008 or somewhere in between. He’s risky.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I was thinking
more along the lines of a Peralta type. I don’t think I’d break up the back end of the bullpen unless it were a hell of a deal. Peralta/Lubanski?
I'd do that deal in a heartbeat
I doubt the Indians would.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Let’s give him so more time to cycle off the HGH and ’roids that aided him. That seems to be a big trend lately. It took Giambi several years to get back to normal.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
let me add to that
some guys are natural players that were aided who have the ability to pick back up production quickly…. Giambi even though he isn’t completely back.
some guys are fringe AAA players who need help… a lot of guys.
Garko may be one of those guys…. what about Hafner?
Just be careful. Signs say that some guys get it back, others don’t.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.

2003: 148 OPS+
2004: 90 OPS +
2005: 161 OPS+

I totally agree
But I just want to point out Sexson is out OPS+ing Gload 90 to 74

I think you know
that I would probably kill someone to get Gload off this team.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
That's comparing apples or oranges
I mean, we’d all kill someone to get Gload off the team. But who would you kill?
I’m sure most of us would kill Brett Favre , Carrot Top, or Jimmy Fallon (that’s a call too close to make).
But would you kill Moon Unit Zappa? Will Farrell? Jenna Fischer?

I would definitely kill Will Farrell
or someone equivalent to him (not really funny anymore, coasting on early success).
I would sooner destroy a stainglass window than an artist such as Jenna (bonus points if you get this reference).

Bonus points for you
Saying “Jenna Fischer” and “Princess Bride” in the same sentence may cause your face to melt from the resulting awesomeness. AAAAAIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE

Well, I'm not that awesome
I have seen the Princess Bride (in the theater, no less), and I liked it. But I never was a “loving it, quoting it like nerds do with Monty Python and the Holy Grail” kind of guy. I didn’t remember the line. I googled it.

It's funny, I find either people
really like that movie or just don’t the reference at all.

This discussion is

Everyone should like Jenna Fischer
and The Princess Bride.

Wait, I missed this
Are we talking about the same Richie Sexson that some people insinuated GMDM was “an idiot” for not pursuing because obviously if the Yankees were interested it was worth a gamble?
Just checking.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
