    Since Kennedy had that great year in 2011 he's been less then average to say the least. But I like the thought of Rios & I'd love Samardzija.

    ...if they can't trade for a front end starter they may have to settle for someone like Kennedy who's not bad at all and who'd be a solid #3 (3.72 this year with a WHIP of 1.17 and is striking out 9.6 batters per game...not exactly average)...and I always liked Zobrist...he's a ball player.

    I said he's been less than average since the 2011 season. And yes Zobrist would be a nice addition.

    ...and I pointed to THIS year, which is a better measurement than what happened last year or the year before and is above average.

    I'd only protect Tanaka, McCann, and Ellsbury. Other's-all expendable...! Perhaps...?

    Correction: (of course we all know The Captain is NOT expendable), plus I'd not let go of Solarte, or Whitely....!

    They are just falling apart. And when I saw Hudson get his ass kicked the other day all I could think was, "Its a fucking epidemic"

    ...there's a lot of parity in both leagues and SF is just going through a rough stretch right now.

    ...They'll still be there for the PS sweepstakes.

    I'd take Price for his stones alone in pitching little poopi high and tight.

    I thought Mr. Price simply threw it right down the middle, and it was Shrek's beer belly that was hanging out over the plate....~

    ...I'd like Price too. But I didn't mention him because; 1. I don't think there's any way the Rays trade him within the division. ..and 2. He made a VERY strong comment last year about not wanting to play for the Yanx because of their no facial hair policy.
