At this point in the season, I do not think the starting pitching only issue on this team.
Better too early then too late, the kid is getting shelled in AAA.Quote:

LaRue at 4 million, 32 years old and hitting .160 is trash im sorry.
I wouldn't really call any major league ball player trash, but if we could dump off his salary I would do it. I think we can do well enough at catcher with Ross and Valentin, and I know that LaRue usually gets hot in the second half, but maybe Ross has a career year.Quote:

I'm not advocating the trade, but he is good young HITTING catcher, but he is brutal at throwing runners out.Quote:

How about Claussen for Wickman?
Don't seem to be too happy with his throwing right now. Still, I wouldn't think they would be interested in Larue and the contract.Quote:
