A Blockbuster!!!!
Taguchi and a LOOGY.
Taguchi's...fine off the bench. He can back up the very slightly older outfielders. His only distinguishing characteristic seems to be that he looks about 16. But he did have that homerun in Chicago, just to rub it in the Cubs' faces. Heh heh heh.
Myers looks like a OK pick up. Lefties batted .233, righties .344 against him, so definitely a one out guy. Groovy.
So we've got Eldred, Tavarez, Reyes maybe, Izzy, King, Ankiel, now Myers. Hold on. Three lefties? Something's not right here. Ok, King's the main guy. I suppose Myers is the new Kline (but not as good). Where does that leave Ankiel? He's probably not going to get into the rotation (once Morris is healthy) unless a starter is traded, but that's putting a lot of faith in him. I for one am still not comfortable with that. Love the kid, hope he's fixed, so glad he wasn't in the Mulder deal, but I still hold my breath. Eldred pretty much has the mop-up role taken care of. Maybe they will go with three southpaws. Curiouser and curiouser.
