Phil Coke is horrible.  He does not deserve a post season roster spot based on how he has pitched.  What is the good in having a left hand reliever, if he cant get left or right handers out.  That guy sucks.

figuring this game out on the CBS tracker. All my whole freaking life tuning in to the playoffs on radio as I knocked around the house has been one of my great pleasures. Curse the stupid MLB!

And P.S. yay Tiges!

Well, who would you like?  Garcia certainly did not look unready this past month and a half.  There isn't anyone else close to the bigs.  We're not signing anyone; a lot of players have raises due and pretty much every dollar of salary savings we get this winter is going to guys who are making peanuts right now and will get those well-deserved raises.  Garcia has already been better than Boesch and comes cheap.  You put Dirks in left and Garcia in right and you get a cheaper outfield that hits more consistently and plays better defense.  How do you go wrong with that?  And in "actually following" the minor leaguers, what do you see in Garcia's .312 BA and .810 OPS at Erie that makes you proclaim he's not ready?

We could have a really good line up next year is Garcia ends up to be the real deal and Martinez gets back to 100%.

The line up could be

  1. Jackson (CF)
  2. Infante (2nd)
  3. Cabrera (3rd)
  4. Fielder (4th)
  5. Martinez (DH)
  6. Dirks (LF)
  7. Peralta (SS)
  8. Garcia (RF)
  9. Avila (C)

That would be scary good.  I'm curious to see if we end up keeping Delmon around after this season.
