saw today in espn mag that wes helms declined bench offers from the phils and indians in favor of competing for the first base job in florida.

one thing ill give gillick credit for are his attempts to faze tomas perez out.

I wonder if Bedrosian is available. If not, they may have to pursue Kent Tekulve or Don Carman.

Arthur Rhodes is an excellent guy out of the bullpen.

This is 1999, right?

That's what I was thinking. Last I remember hearing him being any good was a few years back when he was with Seattle.

jeff parrett in the 7th?

Nice Jeff Parrett reference.

He actually won 12 games for them in '89. Then he was such a legend that they brought him back in '96.

Bring back Savin' Joe Boever and his palmball.

I wonder what old Heathcliff Slocumb is up to...

I dunno, but since Goose Gossage isn't in the HOF yet, maybe he can be lured out of retirement. If not, then I suggest a strong push for Oil Can Boyd or Lee Smith.

How about Jeff Brantley and Mark Leiter? Awsome.

Isn't Oil Can dead?

I'd like to punch Jeff Brantley. He sucks on ESPN. He wears a semi-mullet too.

Does it matter?

Oil Can was pitching in independant leagues this past year.

Sgt PSN · January 23, 2006, 07:56:19 PM

If so, he'd still be better than Cormier.

I once won a game as a pitcher in 6th grade. Sign me.
