Bochy will throw him in as a pinch runner, late in the game, lefty on the mound.
by rightcenterfielder on Jul 8, 2008 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
So
Since Omar indicated a willingness to sit on the bench while Burriss got some starts, Big Head has started Vizquel pretty much every game.
Following this cause-and-effect, this means that if I were to tell Bruce Bochy I’d be willing to do the team’s laundry after every game, theyd probably give me the majority ownership share.

Gallagher will fit in with the A’s collection of 3rd starters.
Matt Murton = healthier Travis Buck.
Patterson I don’t like at all. The catching prospect, I don’t know anything about. If he’s a stud, then maybe this is the best you can’t get for a volatile commodity like Harden.
