Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Where the fuck are the Jack-Z haters now?

5 games over .500 bitches!1! #9 on ESPN Power Rankings. I told you just just wait until he gets his guys in there... and by his guys I mean Robinson Cano so not his guys at all.

None of you are allowed back on the bandwagon!

    They still need some massive offensive upgrades and the reality is that you know things are going right right now since Erasimo gave up 9 base runners in 4.2 innings today and got away without giving up a run.

    One guy that I'd like to see them possibly target is Matt Adams from St. Louis when he gets back healthy. He'd be a massive upgrade over Smoak at first base with the stick and given the fact that St. Louis needs to find a way to get their young OFers into the lineup and it puts Craig back at 1B (which helps out their OF defense), they might be able to get Adams as a buy low type of option.

    I agree. This team still isn't doing shit this season but it isn't as dreck as it has been in the past. If this team wouldn't have been such pussies and given Nelson Cruz the blank check like they should have I actually could see something happening.

    We will see by the trade deadline if they are serious about making a playoff push or not. They need to get Billy Butler (having a bad year so far but his track record is decent) or some other power bat in the lineup to protect Cano.

    BTW Cano has been lights out yet the Mooronoors are still complaining about him only having 1 home run. How about complaining about the 4-9 batters who pretty much go 0 for whatever every game?

    matt adams is one good name.
    Another few I'd like to see them target are
    Josh Willingham
    Billy Butler
    Marlon Byrd
    James Loney

    this is still a 500 ball club, maybe a tad better like 83 wins but still not great. It will come down to if ownership is willing to cut out some cash and add a bat. And we already know how that'll end up.
    Another key is getting walker, paxton, or both healthy.

    I wanted jack z gone 2 years ago, it's gonna take a lot for him to earn my trust back. Maybe a 90 win season at the very least, even then I'll be skeptical

    At this point it's about hoping walker/paxton will stay healthy. I'm not gonna hold my breath though

    Paxton just went on the 60 day DL. When asked if Walker would need 1 more rehab start at AAA McClendon said "if not more".

    Don't bank on either making a big impact this season. We will just hear about how good we will be once they are here like the previous 2 seasons.

    Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

    they put him on the 60 day just to open up a roster spot. It doesn't mean he's going to be on the DL another 60 days.
    My worry is he'll just get hurt again

    He will, so will Walker.
