1. Craig Calcaterra Posted: April 29, 2009 at 10:15 AM (#3156916)Dude is 45, hasn't played in 19 months, and just had surgery on his quad. I love me some Barry and think someone should have taken a chance on him last year, but the bog guy is done.
Teams have been trying to get Ray Durham to play the outfield for years, and he's steadfastly refused. Even now, he'd rather be retired than play the outfield.
Stocks.
Real estate.
Precious metals.
Money market funds.
Asian currency speculation.
There sure are plenty of minor league OF's who could help. I really wonder what it would take to get the Rockies to part with Matt Murton, but if you're just trying to get someone better than Willie Bloomquist out there, give me a day and I could come up with 100 candidates. (Including Bonds - even if he's toast he'll outhit Willie when he's 60).
Mike Aviles - the question is, what happened in 2008? He wasn't much of a prospect before that, and is playing like a non-prospect now. Age 27 superfluke?
I'm betting he's a fluke, like a ton of others before him.
I think so, but he wants to be a starter (not platooned), and he wants to play center field. I don't think it's a good idea for a team to grant both those wishes right now.
