Nate the Trade Bait

I still remember his first game with his brother in the Dodger cap. Plus, Schierholtz always has a stupid look on his face

Davis?? He is a bum unless you are talking about another Davis. Rowand was signed for too many years and too many dollars to not be in the line-up in CF.

Because as long as he is on this team Bochy is going to use him wrong. We is a great partner for this team as a right handed compliment to a platoon, but otherwise we is a late inning defensive replacement. Alsoaccardo was great as a middle reliever, he crumbled when put in the ninth, not the eight and or seventh.

I actually thought that Hennessey was the right move instead of Wilson, because you were dealing with the bottom of the order. You figure Hennessey gets thru the ninth and you bring in Wilson if there's a tenth because of those big hitters the Cardinals have in the middle. The problem is that Hennessey can't get anyone out these days.
