In my opinion, next year will be no better, and might even be worse. Soriano will be gone. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a reality check. The pitching situation is a total mess and there is no help on the farm. On the plus side, this sad situation should accelerate the firing of Bowden. Clearly, there is no hope for this franchise as long as he is the GM, and, if Kasten and Lerner keep him around, that tells volumes about their incompetence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-1156861748994441162006-08-29T10:29:00.000-04:002006-08-29T10:29:00.000-04:00The reliable backup for SS, 3B, and 2nd base was J...The reliable backup for SS, 3B, and 2nd base was Jamie Carroll until Bowden gave him to the Rockies to make room for Damian Jackson. Of course, under the Lerner-Kasten rule, there doesn't seem to be an accountability. Otherwise, Bowden would be back on Cold Pizza, drinking warm beer. By the way, you don't hear Bowden crowing about not re-signing Estaban Loiza these days like he did earlier in the season. Loiaza has become one of the hottest pitchers in the AL in the past six weeks. Last night, he shut out the Red Sox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
