Jacque Jones--Plz take him back, Minnesota.

I think he's a big 0-8 this year so far. Just struck out by Carpenter w/ guys on second and third on 3 lazy pitches.
Who the fuck signed him? He's an upgrade over Jerome Burnitz? In which universe?

He's pretty good. Give him time. He's an excellent defender. He made a nice catch yesterday.
I'm glad he got out of Minnesota....get him out of the AL central....he cost Freddy Garcia a no hitter last year.

Yeah, he made a few yesterday. Yesterday was a bitch of a day to catch at Wrigley too. But defense wasnt really our problem last year...It was timely hitting....
I guess I should shut up, cause A-Ram just hit a pop fly in the same situation...But I hate to see us waste all these hits off Carpenter. You know he's gonna settle in soon and start mowing people down. He's way too good to waste opportunities like this...

I think he's just nervous and trying too hard, but if he stays at .000 then I say put pagan in or call up pie...and then eat/trade his 3year/3mil contract. I did support letting burnitz go - he wasnt that great and wanted way too much for what he's really worth.

No doubt Burnitz wasnt perfect. He struck out once a game or so, but this is looking pretty bad. I'm very excited to see what Pie can do. Isnt he an infielder though? I'm sure the switch wouldnt be that hard...

outfielder. I say give jj another month and if he continues his slump, give pagan the job. pie still has some work (injuries, too, I think) left before getting the call. jj cannot be allowed to be another cpat.

Ugh, I cringe when I hear Pattersons name...
I keep looking at Orioles scores in dread, waiting to see that now that we've traded him he's going to hit .400, steal 40 bases and hit 40 homers...
But I suppose its entirely more likely he'll hit .162 and strike out 25% of the time like he is now....
