Yeah, Piazza was a pleasant surprise for me as I thought he was just coming here to pick up chicks up the beach. That explains the lack of luck this summer at Mission Beach. And I thought it was my beer gut that killed the mojo.

Maybe there was more than 1 reason? : )

Just a hint, you can always try OB, but don't forget to have a coke
spoon necklace. ; )

Go Pads !

Nady would a been a ggod fit for power if he would have been a better club house guy.

Oh, come on now. Nady has demonstrated that he's a .260 hitter who will max
out at 18-20 homers while playing brutal defense in the outfield. We
realized it after a couple years, and the Mets realized it after a couple
months when they dumped him on the Pirates. Mike Cameron is more valuable to
this team than five Xavier Nadys would have been.

I stand corrected. I didn't mean I didn't wan't Cameron or think that
Nady was better than Cameron. Cameron is a great fit as well as
Roberts. Giles is the guy that has to go sense his power numbers are
way down.

We're not likely to find a taker with the amount of money he's owed over the
next two years.

Giles did have a horrible year power-wise.
However, his OBP is still damned good, and since that fits in nicely with
the Alderson philosophy of how to build a team, I doubt Giles will be going
anywhere.
It would surprise me if his power wasn't improved next year over this
year... I don't expect him to ever be back to his power numbers from his
prime years, but I think this past season was the aberration, not what will
be his norm.
