[quote]DA brings charges on what they “believe” to be a crime. Responsibility of the judicial system to verify if the “crime” was a crime or not[/quote] That's my understanding. So it was the judge who instructed the jury that it was a crime? Their job was to determine if Trump did it, but the ...

[quote]Jones isnt gone yet man[/quote] No, he's not, and I hope he stays. Getting a stud 3B, OF, or DH with juice in his bat would still be my preference. I like the guys we have coming back in the OF, but that's 3 outfielders who haven't shown the power to protect Jones, yet. I thin...

[quote]I think you're trying too hard to discount the recruiting class power,[/quote] No. I honestly do t care where it comes from. This is a crazy year, where 80% of the home run production in our lineup is gone, now. The leading home run guy coming back had 9. This isn't a normal year. W...

[quote]It's very clear you are looking for 6'4" 230 type players that can hit it 450 feet.[/quote] No. Crews wasn't that big and probably would have hit more home runs if they hadn't pitched around him so much. Vance Honeycutt isn't huge. Drew Burress is relatively small. Christian Moore...

[quote]jrobic4[/quote] Thank you for making a sensible take instead of just being a contrarian. Like I said, all of those guys have potential, but it would be like drawing a straight flush if all of them got close to 20 HR next year. We need in infusion of power, and we'll be in good shape....

[quote]It counts the same whether it goes 370 or 470.[/quote] No doubt. But again, White and Jones didn't need to put their best swing on the ball to drive it out. They could take that ball low and away and drive it over the fence to right field. Neal needs to barrel up and pull it. Can he...

[quote]Do you realize guys get stronger and develop each year? Dumbass. The three freshman and Pearson will hav 10+ next year.[/quote] Tell me which players got older and developed a power stroke from last year to this year? Was it Kling? Maybe Pearson? How about Milazzo? Not a single gu...

[quote]You just bitched about someone else extrapolating stats and then proceeded to extrapolate stats.[/quote] I wasn't bitching about extrapolate. Look, it was painfully obvious that Tanks, Bear and Trav have plus power. Neal has decent power, but he's not hitting tape measure shots to all ...

[quote]No, we don't. We had 1 guy (White) with 20+ HRs last year, and I'd say we did pretty damn well.[/quote] We had 4 or 5 guys who could get us 20+. Dugas had 17 and missed time with his shoulder. Trav only started 23 games and got 10 dingers. Jones, Jobert, Travinski, and Beloso all missed...

[quote]Consider these before thinking we dont have guys with power potential[/quote] I'm not saying we don't have potential to hit home runs, but what you just laid out is like drawing a straight flush. None of these guys have done it for a full season. You can't just extrapolate and say he'll ...
[quote]They are scared Trump will use the same tactics against them. And I hope they are right.[/quote] I think he cannot use their own tactics against them - they made up "facts" out of whole cloth and tried to prosecute Trump for them. Trump needs to shine the light on their crimes and le...
