[Upark25]

Okay, so maybe the 500k buyout for Kennedy this winter and Espinosa gets the job to start next year.

or keep both and start Espinosa

This is hilarious

yup ... but look it's potomac cannons, not a big surprise.

[mitlen]

I read somewhere that in fact he has been working on exactly that with Eckstein, and the results are pretty positive over the last couple of weeks.

Whatcha doin' at 4 PM?

[Potomac Cannons]

We saw Kennedy as a backup and it went really poorly.  Keep AlGo as the backup and see what you can get for Kennedy.

[Potomac Cannons]

Shocking.

[mitlen]

Nyjer, Nyjer, Nyjer

[Lintyfresh85]

Holy crap.

Nyjer just sounded like Michael Jackson in the 'Black or White' black panthers scene!

Talking about the scream, that is.

EdStroud ?

Running in and out checking the score on TV while outside working on the pool.

Desmond and Espinosa to play winter ball together for a month!  Awesome.

Hessman has to be close to the all time leader in minor league HR's.

[DPMOmaha]

Did you see Dunn sneak over there to end up standing right in front of Tejeda?

Started a WNFF FF league. Read rules and leave comments for anything.

He is. In Toledo against the Mudhens, Bally gave up a solo HR to Hessman that was hit over the 40 ft tall scoreboard in left field onto the street in 2007 500 plus ft... The next time Bally faced Hessman,in the same game, with the game on the line , he struck him out on a 97 MPH fastball.  That all said, I have never seen a ball hit any farther or longer than that shot in Toledo.

[Lintyfresh85]

Too bad you can't play three MI's.

Kennedy would be a great guy to keep around if he could just hit off the bench.

[Lintyfresh85]

Watching Maya's bullpen sessions, he's got a lot of El Duque in his windup.

WSPD is in Toledo!

[EdStroud]

Hessman has to be close to the all time leader in minor league HR's.

Hector Espino 484 HRs- (played in Mexican League)
Ken Guettler 330 HRs
Mike Hessman 329 HRs

[mitlen]

Thats in Cincinnati!

Toledo, Cleveland, Ashtabula, Geneva, Warren, Miami, East Liverpool, Youngstown, Steubenville, Mingo Junction, Cincinnati ... it's all the same

[Lintyfresh85]

WSPD is in Toledo!

Used to have a communications professor that could name pretty much every call sign of every station on the East Coast. Used to work in the business, apparently.

RIP Mark!

Thats in Cincinnati!

I was thinking more along the lines of Howard Hessman ... but you know that

[EdStroud]

Eckstein looks like a kid who snuck onto the field during helmet day

[Potomac Cannons]

Okay, so who is the worst Mets GM?  Minaya or Phillips.
