The Big Hurt

Why? There ain't no DH in the NL. We've got Berkman, Bagwell, and Lamb to play first.

 

.....

 

Hell no. Too many first basemen as it is. If were gonna sign someone like that I would prefer we sign Sammy Sosa.

 

He'll get more from an AL team to be their DH. And, as said above, we have a plethora of decent-hitting, minimal-fielding first baseman (and Frank Thomas is actually worse than minimal fielding, and has a history of being very injury prone).

Of course, somebody will probably bring up the "Astros are racist" angle, and that will cause another big stir... thanks a lot Hank Aarron.

 

sign him so he can ride the bench in houston.....?????

 

I'd sign him and then trade him for a leather glove

 

That would have to be THE most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this board.

 

Can he play SS?

 

Oh yes, do it, the best defensive OF of all time. With Bagwell at 1st, you have Berkman in CF, Thomas in LF and Lamb in RF.

 

dam sosa we need some body that can help

 

Then we could nickname our outfield....the gazelles!

 

This is a GREAT idea!

Neither can Thomas and we have Berkman that we can move there.

 

That is freakin' hilarious..I'm still laughing...
