mhmm…but I think he is more a 3B than DH or OF type of guy. He is 32, yeah, but has only been in the majors for five years and other than a flukey partial 2006, his numbers seem to have gotten better every year.

I’m really liking what I see of Luke Scott. I also heard he was available for the right deal. What would it take to get him away from the O’s? I’m drooling thinking of a 3B who can actually (gasp) hit.

Umm, you do realize that Luke Scott hasn’t played a single game at 3B in his entire professional career, right?

Indeed NorthofWriglyField… we have a “power” hitting 2B/3B to fill one of your aptly filled positions for your worthless RF and C (Montero, not Snyder). Deal?

Not really, “Screw you, DiPoto.”

I prefer… “DiPoto, can we help you further screw your team?”

Before Anaheim picked up Callaspo, I was hoping they’d give Z a call and want Figgins back.

A guy can hope, can’t he?

I’m also shaking my head at all who think what we need most is a DH-type guy. Yeah, it would be sexy to see Dunn in an M’s uniform, don’t get me wrong, but we really lack a solid 3-hole guy.

It feels like we need a solid 2-hole guy, a solid 3-hole guy, a solid 4-hole guy, a solid 5-hole guy… all the way down to a solid 9-hole guy.

The choice was never between Beltre and Figgins. If Beltre had been willing to stay, we’d have kept him.

Heck, even after we signed Figgins – the team was at least going through the motions of trying to bring Beltre back.

He turned down arbitration, almost certainly so he could go to a park that better suited his offensive capabilities and pump up interest for this upcoming offseason. He agreed to a one year deal that was significantly less than he’d have gotten in arbitration from the Mariners.

“Chode Figgins”.

Churly you’re joking…

-bounce his helmet off the bag and have it come back to him

If Lopey could do that, I’d be way more hesitant to get rid of him. That would take some of the pain out of his pathetic at-bats if we could watch him bounce his hat!

Doesn’t he need to reach base first before he can do that trick? Or were you thinking he’d do it between innings while the grounds crew was doing their dance?
