    LMAO......Triple God Damn, how could I forget...? Where's that bottle of Geritol...?

    :lol:

    I'm getting tunnel blind....Yep, I'd keep all them too, and lure/recall O'Neill out of retirement...!

    I'd make Betances a closer, to see how he handles it. I always like Robinson more as a set up man....Gardner, IMO, is overpaid, 15 mil...? I don't see him being worth that. Tho' I'd like to see him in LF, but not for 15 mil.

    I'm right there with you on giving Betances a shot as closing. Was not all that warm and fuzzy about D-rob following Mo, they guy man has had some adventuresome innings out there. Betances is just flat out scary, now have Mo come and teach him that cutter. I'm right there with Gardners salary but he's made some great plays in the field. Gardner reminds me a bit oh Hunter Pence, a bit awkward in places but a contributor at some of the most right times.

    I'm with you on all those points.... ya' know I never thought of Gardner as a Hunter Pence, but yeah, I can see this as a good comparison.

    Only differences I've seen is: Pence hits with more power, and Brett steals more bases.

    ...Betances with a Mo-like cutter?...that would be other-worldly.

    Pence is the only player I've ever seen that has his pants pulled up ABOVE his knees (no bullshit).


    It wasn't as high in the past but this year it is,https://www.google.com/search?q=hun...wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHunter_Pence;2079;3119

    Scroll up to the single shot of him batting that I blew up.

    I wonder why Betances hasn't been shown Mo's Cutter..? The opportunity was there last year, and in 011....Great Point, why no Mo' patented cutter....?
