Real sincere, Adam.<BR/><BR/>@ Southpaw - also a good call, maybe Cecil/Mills are a 2-headed monster this season. Losing hope in my guy Ricky Romero, though, Cito's hinting he needs to straighten out his mechanics in AAA also.<BR/><BR/>@ Colin - agreed - you can never have enough (healthy) pitching....who knows how M&M will bounce back?The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-91060674363675885602009-03-09T10:36:00.000-04:002009-03-09T10:36:00.000-04:00I never got the comment about not liking baseball,...I never got the comment about not liking baseball, I know it's been beaten to death so I won't say anything more on it.

It would really suck to trade away an established starter or top prospect and find we need an improvement at fifth midway through the season.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717874878537329754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-21377894422047673232009-03-08T15:37:00.000-04:002009-03-08T15:37:00.000-04:00I'm perfectly fine with Mills as Key 2.0Purcey is ...I'm perfectly fine with Mills as Key 2.0<BR/><BR/>Purcey is Al Lieter 2.0 too, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Don't really know how Cecil matches up yet but it'd be someone damned good.<BR/><BR/>I ask again as I have before, when 2010 gets here, we are going to have Doc, McG, Marcum, Listch, Purcey, Cecil, and Mills (at a minimum) who need major league rotation spots...doesn't this set up the chance to trade a major peice (McGowan maybe?) for a young stud SS or 3B?The Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-35945464974966644622009-03-08T09:45:00.000-04:002009-03-08T09:45:00.000-04:00Yeah, Dunn has to be in the playoffs.
