them higher in standings. By Bill Shaikin Times Staff...

If Guzman puts it together in spring training and AAA next season, he could replace any of those guys before next season ends. I didn't object to trading him,...
David, I understand your thinking and they may well have thought that. However, we should also remember the British came here. Those coming to this country did...
The Yankees knew ARod could be a liability when he switched to third, but they wanted his bat anyway. The Dodgers signed Furcal for his speed and defense....
You're right about that Harry because Barry Zito doesn't throw that hard either and I would love to have him pitch for the Dodgers next season. Kristin Harry...
I agree with David Me being Mexican I have to say that the Spanish said that Miguel Hidalgo was a Terrorist, or as they called it in those times an Insurgent,...
Furcal has never had great defense. This is a guy that has 31 errors in 2003. I believe he was brought in because he's a legitimate lead off hitter where...
Someone in the group (Dan or David?) made this point: if Guzman hits, they will find a position for him. In my view, the only prospect in the group that...
Mike, all of what you say contains lots of "ifs". I will ask again. if you think the trade for Lugo is weak, have you actually seen him play and what is there...
I duno what's this big infatuation of the TB players. Lugo's got nice numbers offensively, but he's average defensively from what I gather. Given he doesn't...
I've seen the D-Rays play the Yankees a few times, and I don't remember anything specific about Lugo. What's done is done, and I hope Lugo plays well while he...
I have a feeling they will land Zito. I hope so. I believe Maddux greatest value will be in his POSITIVE influence over the much ballyhooed youngsters. Did I...
ARod was pretty good defensively at short. I didn't thought that he would be a "liability" at 3rd and the Yankees certainly didn't envision his recent...
"IF". I wonder "if" the Colletti detractors have given any thought that just maybe we finally have a GM who listens to those really in the know....Logan White,...
LOL, all seems to have gotten quiet except for us. Well, Lugo certainly has the figures to argue over when that time comes. The main thing is you support the...
Maybe "guaranteed" is the wrong word, but you have to agree that a starting job will probably be his to lose next spring. ... that just maybe we finally have a...
Geez, Zo...you and I have the same thought about retaining Maddux as pitching coach. How about that, lol. BTW, this is just off the top of my head but how is a...
I think it was me..but it could have been any of us..If a guy is hitting a ton...a position will be found....its an easy call... As far as Furcal and some of...

Would you not say that of any player? Heck, I could say that about Nomar or Kent.. Mike, I just watched Guzman in the games while he was up with the team and...

Good point, Harry. With Maddux already saying he will retire, the Dodgers may also be recruiting him for a coaching job. ... I have a feeling they will land...
A .957 fielding percentage ranks him second to last among qualified AL shortstops (Furcal is .960). Although his range factor is about middle-of-the-pack. ......
