The worse JBJ hits, the harder it'll be to trade him for anything of value. The better he hits, the harder it'll be to see him go.

I think that the better JBJ hits lessons the chances of him being moved significantly. He hits - Boston keeps him - I'd be happy.

Again, we're not replacing JBJ's bat with beni's, assuming we trade JBJ. We already have Beni's bat FT in the line-up.

The comp is.... (assuming we tradde JBJ for a SP'er or JBJ & Wright or Johnson for a SP'er)

Offense:

More PAs from HRam/Moreland/Nunez or maybe Travis/Swihart vs JBJ's bat

Beni's D in CF vs JBJ

JMart's D in LF vs Beni's

The SP'er we get vs Johnson/Wright.Velazquez

I can see a case where the trade would be worth it. As much as I am a huge JBJ fan, I'm not against trading anyone, if it makes us overall, but with out IF defense already pretty bad off, I'm not sure weakening 2 OF positions is the direction we should go.

If we can assume the offense would be better with Nunez/Moreland/HRam over JBJ and that differential is close to the same value as the loss on defense, then whatever pitcher we might get could certainly tip the balance of value from a JBJ trade to thegood.

I suggested Salazar at one time. If Salazar got hurt (again), what then?

Ha! Lol Salazar IS hurt again. That’s funny

Yes, once again DS is hurt- no surprise!

Good ball player, but an absolute shitty human being. Fuck Kirby Puckett. He didn't die soon enough.

When Tonya finally called the Edina police on Dec. 21, 2001, to report that Kirby had, over the phone, threatened to kill her, she also mentioned earlier abuses. Her husband was, she said through her tears, a violent man. Once, she said, he tried to strangle her with an electrical cord. Once he locked her in the basement. Another time, when he was furious and she locked herself in a room, he used a power saw to cut through the door. Once he even put a gun, cocked, to Tonya's head as she quaked, clasping little Catherine in her arms.

Holy shit. That man should have been in jail.

Early death tho. He died of ... Glaucoma in 2006 ()

I didn't know this about Kirby Puckett.
