Uglla well jackie put it well I wouldn't have traded sanchez at the risk of getting uggla I mean at first I was all for it but look at the long term if we do that we dont have our pitching staff its hard enough to find a 5 let alone our 3 or 4 and a 5 would've been a disaster. As far as nick johnson goes I really didn't like him to much. I thought of him as a cheap knock off to bengie monlina he would've actually been worse. Just as slow and not that many homeruns or rbi's. Good Ol Johnny D .. I still want this signing I hate the fact that we will go in with nate or velez like I said I don't mind them but they are not our future outfield so im still pullin for JD. Laroche well he did a good thing he knew playing at the china basin would be hard for him. He just has to look at the other stars who came here and had the hr numbers drop along with the rbi's for instance Rowand and Garko and Winn and many many more.. this isnt a park for the lower end power hitters so he might of played it smart if he has a great 1 yr in arizon could be lookin for that big pay day like abreu but if he doesn't do anythin with az he would've wished he took the money cuz he could end up cheaper.. Eric B .. Well I wish he would have become a giant but he didn't so much for a wishful lineup good luck in seattle Eric the west coast will miss ya play hard and stay healthy Heres my thoughts on everything you mentiond.

I don't see why they didnt try harder to keep Penny... Johnson...well, oh well... Damon...the last thing we needed was a 36 year old with the weakest arm in baseball and a bat that only looked good because of Yankee Stadium LaRoche...that ones kinda a bummer, but 2/$17 means we'd have been overpaying him. Huff was a way better deal Byrnes...if we had the roster space I don't see why a league minimum salary wouldn't have been worth takin a flyer on him.
