Now we need to bar everyone who played before 2004. Because they were ALL using them.

I have concerns about Sanchez and his knee problems, though he bats .300 for his career. We can def use some hitters.

Alderson was a good prospect pitcher, but we have enough pitchers.

My biggest concern again, is Sanchez's knee problems.

But Sanchez is a gamer, excellent hitter and he plugs the hole at second for the Giants...they have PLENTY of pitching already. I think this trade makes you guys stronger.

The Yankees are looking to pick up Corey Patterson off wavers since Gardner is out with a broken hand for a while.

Off of waivers he is pretty much free to the Yankees and they could use another bench player while Gardner is out. It would be a no lose pick up.

Aren't you concerned about the knee?

Well worth the risk. The Giants need bats, they won't miss one pitching prospect. And Sanchez can hit, I think it was a pretty good trade.

Dodgers picked up Sherill today. Good move, he was pretty tough on hitters here in the AL East.

Yeah, you're right. We do need hitters. Right now the only big hitter we really have is Pablo and he has not been doing much as of recent.

Austin Jackson needs to be playing everyday though. I think he has a great shot at opening day roster in 2010 though.

Eh, I don't think a trip to the majors would be a bad thing for him. If they platooned him on and off with Melky he'd get enough at bats. Patterson just seems like a waste of time, Gardener is only going to be gone for two weeks.

Mike's Mets were rained out last night. Too bad. Not only were they on a roll, I heard that Omar Minaya was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first reporter.

We beat the Rockies behind an outstanding pitching performance from Santana this afternoon...FIVE IN A ROW!!!!! See if we can keep it up tonight with game #2 of the doubleheader. As for Minaya...TOO FUNNY!!! I really think he is the damn problem...the younger Wilpon wants to send his sorry a$$ packing...I am all for it!!

He really does need to get the boot.

They have him for 1B, C & DH. It is definately a good pick for them. A nice bat and now relief for their older players that are breaking down.
