I was one of the few that was backing him also.

I watched him play in St and knew he had the ability to be a great hitter, and play some good D at first.

How's JJ looking?

And any thoughts on what we should do when he makes it back into the rotation? I don’t think it would be smart to move Medlen with the way he has been pitching, maybe KK into the pen?

Wondering if kc would take resop

For alex Gordon.. He’s still young and has potential.. But yost said despite his triple a performance he won’t be recalled this season.. His 2010 MLB line is deceiving with only 30
at bats..and we all know how kc covets braves prospects..

I mean he has been playing for kc.. They don’t have a prado, heyward, chipper, glaus, mcann lineup that Gordon could have been sandwiched into that alone I think would help him out tremendously and you would see great numbers out of him.. Jmho.

Yeah,

I have been genuinely surprised that he has pitched as well as he has given his awful Spring. I’m sure the good numbers with the Pirates is what gave him the edge over Proctor. I thought for sure Proctor would make the team coming out of ST. I was wrong.

to the guy

who said the verducci effect was arbitrary based on the fact that JJ injured his leg. – wasn’t JJ putting up worse stats before that injury? wasnt there shoulder inflammation? i mean why keep meds in the rotation and even risk that?

I would welcome Texas a&m alot of history

There for them and Alabama..I would also encourage one or both of the following.. Asking auburn to leave the sec under a bylaw that states students & fans should restrain themselves from sexual advances onto livestock or face expulsion from the conference.. We all know the have skated around this particular rule.. Also asking Tennessee to just rocky top on outta here.. God how I hate that song…

I'm all for Auburn and TN to get the boot out of the SEC, not that it will ever happen.

I’m a Ga girl but live in Tn now. I get So sick of All the orange especially on game day. Auburn because my ex graduated from their Vet school. Alabama is OK, simply because my mom attended college there.
I agree I’d take A&M over most of the other colleges I’ve heard mentioned about joining the SEC.

I would also take north carolina

From the acc.. Good basketball..and a growing football team.. The duke rivalry might be too strong for them to jolt from the acc though.. Heck take duke too.. Add a&m and southern miss to west .. Duke and nc to east.. Just fantasizing..

by SidKotchman on Jun 14, 2010 9:17 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

as much as i hate ‘em, i wouldn’t have minded clemson joining the east if a&m had joined the west. our history with the tigers is a lot richer than most of the teams in our conference, and the proximity to athens makes the rivalry that much more intense.
