Bucs just might sport Wood

gosh, that twitter account just looks fake, but i suppose its real. At least, in the articles, he sounds like an educated person, even if a moron wrt understanding baseball. The twitter account is crazy stupid- the messages on it, i mean.

I thought it was safe to say it’s at least plausible that he’d get 1 start there this year, no? I agree, it’s a pretty bad idea but it’d probably happen a fair amount if we a) trade Overbay at the deadline or b) if Overbay gets hurt and they start Diaz against a lefty.

On another topic, I never noticed how quiet it is here at BD in the mornings until I got the ax at work the other day. Either I’m one of the only unemployed folks on here or I’m just the only jobless guy who still wakes up early.

a long, kinky swing and poor pitch recognition that might be due to playing in a lot of thin air environments were breaking balls just don’t break as well.

If you’ve got lots of time on your hands (like I do now) you can look through this for a read on what Angels fans think his problems are.

Pirates prospects said Tim wood was sitting at 95 last night, and touched 98 tiwce.

What if they do acquire him? Does he just replace Josh Rodriguez? Or does he become the starting SS, which would be a big stretch defensively?

Kevin Long , Yankees hitting coach, told Wood Scoscia’s really screwed up his swing and he ought to forget everything he’s been taught the last 3 years. Wood worked out with Long over the offseason and, the word is, he’s got a completely new approach just now. You never know … the Twins really screwed with David Ortiz’s approach and tried to push him in to becoming an opposite field hitter… once he unlearned the approach he was taught he really took off. Not saying this would happen for Wood …. just saying we’ve got little to lose as long as we don’t trade a Gorkys or better for him.

Better question… who in the minors would you guys part with for Wood?

I’ll start with Matt McSwain.

huhuhuhuhuhuhuh… “wood.” huhuhuhuhhuhuhuhuuhuh…

because they are the only players that want to com here

sold that shirt at Wrigley before Dusty Baker burned out Kerry Wood’s arm. I actually had a buddy buy one at a game we went to that KW started. Funny enough, I ended up having a few too many… got off the bus on our roadtrip back home… and then hitchhiked 80 miles back to my hometown.

Just one of the many stories I recall if I find myself missing booze.

but given NH’s track record, I’d be surprised if Wood got past us, esp if he went on waivers. They may not want to trade anything of value for him, but he’s likely to get a shot if he’s free.

On the bright side, when I hate a move with this kind of “fire of a thousand suns” intensity, it usually turns out great for us.

So maybe I can reverse jinx it.

cedeno hit much better than that in AAA. clement has raked in AAA. wood has had 4 plus years of opportunity to prove himself with the Angels and he’s actually gotten worse.
now either his mechanics are screwed up, the league already has his number, or he was never that good to begin with.

most would probably say the latter.

the Pirates have the 1st overall priority on the waiver order.

“Another note from that article mentioned by Tim… The pirates do not have the number 1 pick, ..”

You are 100% WRONG.

What tthe article DOES say [emphasis mine]:

The Pirates have the first overall pick (if you’re wondering why, check out my Important Dates in 2011 post),

Do you ever read things before you start flailing away at the keyboard?
