he has put Gordon and Butler on alert that there are absolutely no more excuses for them to underperform. Also people like Teabag, Gload, and Buck will most likely be gone as the have underperformed for too long. He is looking at the whole picture and not really taking any performances (except Hiram’s) into account.

His comments regarding players not getting along with Hillman suggests that he will be looking to get rid of those players who have shaken up the clubhouse, except JoGui, who Moore thinks the “reward outweighed the risk”

That in order to entertain the thought of trading Greinke away, they’d have to be floored by an offer. He didn’t however, seem like extending him was a huge priority. It was his tag line about if the player shows interest, they’ll explore the possibilities…
I still say that one of those 2 things HAS to happen this offseason

I want to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

This is classic, generic manager speak. Hillman’s voice is killing me for some reason.

It isn’t slow, but it just needs to be “on-time.”

Key to good hitting = punctuality. Buy Shealy an alarm clock for his swing.

Jose Guillen is a possibility from a production standpoint.

+10 for Hillman on taming a wild horse better than sticking a red-hot poker up his ass to get him to work.

Not sure how that works with Guillen. I’d love to see either option with him.

I would say with some certainty that we will be pursuing a middle infielder.

Expressing concern about first base defense…

Callaspo doesn’t have good range.

I hope they put it a clause in Furcal’s contract for limo rides home from the K.

“I don’t go up to a guy and ask, ’what’s going on in thiere’.”

Um, Trey, he was obviously the best player on the team. I wouldn’t worry about his concentration level.

Awesome spin control on Jose Guillen.

We now know that Shealy & DDJ could play today if there was a game.

Whew. Glad we don’t have to worry about that for the next 5 months (Eyeroll)

yeah…

he’s apparently built like a running back. Trade him to the Cheifs for Tony Gonzalez?

I guess that gives better feeling about Gload’s place on the club.

but also the problem if they can’t be extended.

DM is saying the right things about wanting to bring up Shealy but couldn’t and therefore brought up Aviles. Unfortunately, I don’t believe any of this and think it’s revisionist history. They’ve been cold on Shealy and they were cold on Aviles. When I hear him talk about Aviles it sounds to me that he’s STILL cold on Aviles. What the hell is his problem? I also think he’s a non-believer in Shealy too. Although, frankly, I don’t know if I’m a true believer in Shealy yet either. However, I do have complete faith in knowing that he is and always has been and will be a better option than Gloady. There is simply no excuse and no revisionist history possible to cover for the stupidity of DM apparently thinking that Gload was the answer at 1st.
