Yeah he has really had a fair chance. He will be an all star within 3 years. You would have hated mike Schmidt as a rookie too...

By the way your GM is the worst in the league, hands down....so I'm gonna guess this deal will work out like his others...BAD!

Look who is writing me about making decisions. Your gem keeps shining:

" On the hands, and so Andruw Jones strikes out on three pitches to go 0 for 3 tonite" - V Scully (tonite, but it could be most any night.)

We have 1 run tonite. Who do you think would of possibly helped us score more runs? Roach,or Manny? We have won how many playoff games in 20 years, and you want us to keep waiting for guys to learn to hit? Diamondback youngins can hit. Drew doesn't need to keep learnin' to hit. Too many excuses. Roach had plenty opportunities. He killed many a rally for us. G' BYE ANDY YA NO HIT'N ROACH. We have more than paid our dues waiting for kids to come around. BTW , the Diamondback position playing kids are better than ours. So, it really is paying off huh? We don't have luck with young hitters. We have luck with young pitchers. That's the way it just always is. They refuse to hit for power here. Is this not obvious? I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET PEOPLE THAT REALLY CAN HIT. We have had pitifully few do it. We don't have any quality hitters. That's been a 20 year problem(atleast.) You think waiting for more miracle youngins is gunna work? It hasn't ever worked here. We've never had any of these Hall of Fame hitters. This is yet another nite of getting 1 fkn run etc. Why don't you go through that before you tell us we're impatient? We have been patient. We have waited , and waited, and waited. Our fkn kids just lost to go 2 games back. These kids can't hit good pitching. They scored 1 run. No, I am not in favor of waiting for guys like roach to start hitting. FCK THAT.WE HAVE DONE THIS. DOESN'T WORK. THEY DON'T HIT. You just don't understand that prospects don't hit for this organization. They don't. They hit Washington, and the Giants. So what. Yeah, just hang on to the roach, and stand pat. Then lose the division by 7 games, and of course next year the kids will do miracles. Our kids can hit Frisco, cincy, Washington Houston. They can't hit against good teams. Simple as that. Can't you see this? The prospects aren't getting past this level. Not for us. They can't hit Webb, Zambrano. SABATHIA, HERRON. We've waited, They aren't gunna do it. Again tonite. They can't do it.

Do you not realize that when you play in a division with clear cut pitchers parks like SD and SF and you play 1/2 your games in LA which is a pitchers park ipitchers have a big advantage? You know why AZ's players develop faster? Because they play in a hitters park and they actually play them as opposed to the yo-yo system the Dodgers seem to prefer. There is a ton of talent in LA but they seem to specialize in holding those players down in order to get over the hill, in decline guys. That is not the players fault.

At least they only have 1 year of him left. There is no reason why the GM isnt gone because he seems to want to save his job more than build a team.

LOL, GUNNA BE A long year. This guy can't hit anymore . It is what it looks like. He gets a fkn single every 8 or 9 at bats. More embarassing than a turd in a classroom. We could of held on to these 2 kids if this fkr would hit. We are playing our kids. Martin, Kemp, Looney, and Ethier all played tonite. 1 run...THEIR KIDS GOT 2 RUNS. They are better hitters. Our kids can't hit anybody good. That is obvious to most people who watch them day in /day out. We've played them. Who do you think we played most the year at 3rd? Dewitt n' Roach. We played them, and they can only hit bad pitching. These prospects aren't what you make them out to be. I watch them almost every game. They can't hit good pitching at all. We can deny the obvious, but it doesn't change the fact that they aren't good enough.Evidently, from what you are suggesting, we would lose every damn game in which we face a good pitcher. If you look, you will see that's why we are only a .500 club. We don't win the pitcher duel games. We won one the last time we faced Webb, but it was a meltdown by the closer that allowed that. We didn't hit the starter. Honestly, I don't think we have the team to beat the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers have an outside chance to get the Wildcard(5 1/2 back.) Unfortunately, I think this Diamondback team is going to respond each time the Dodgers get close.They're a much better hitting team. All these decent stats, batting averages etc. by Dodger batters are mainly due to hitting in certain games where the pitching can be had. They are very predictable. Bettors must adore betting the Dodgers. To beat the Diamondbacks for the division, THEY WOULD NEED A MASSIVE CONTRIBUTION FROM MANNY in the games like the one just played against the Dbacks. That game says it all. Look at that game, and I don't know how the f you could wonder why the Dodgers wanted Manny. It's obvious.

He has had mixed results with the trade deadline deals. It worked in '06, but not '07. As far as the kids go, Broxton and Billingsley are home grown gems. Position players Martin, Kemp , Ethier, and Looney are all good hitters against average to poor pitching(which actually wouldn't be so bad if the veterans were doing their job.) This last part....the veterans....the free agent signings.....This is the reason this G.M. should be gone already. Schmidt(30 mil over the last 2 seasons)= how bad a signing can ya make? Oh,no, he topped that one by paying Andruw 34 million over 2 years, and the ladies getting people their Dodger Dogs are doing more for the organization than Andruw is. Garciaparra is getting paid 10 mil a year for being hurt, and slow. This is the guy that needs to be in there getting hits against tough pitching. Same goes for Kent. He is OMG slow at his position. Every damn time I see him dive for a ball it gets by. This is another individual that needs to hit tough pitching, and he isn't. He (like the kids) can only hit bad pitching. Now , I get angry at the kids for not getting better against good pitching, but the truth is that the people who were signed to get hits against good pitchers(GARCIAPARRA, KENT, PIERRE, Andruw Jones) are where? Huh? WHERE THE F THEY AT? 10+10+10+17= F'N 47 MILLION BUCKS of bad signings. They were supposed to get the runs in these tough pitching games. They aren't, and that's on the guy who signed them. He may not of signed Kent, but he has 4 atrocious signings that should have got his a-s-s parked. Garciaparra getting 20 mil /2 years after being hurt in 2006.- Dumb fkr. Schmidt 15 mil/year for a washed up guy the Giants knew was done.-dumb fkr. Pierre....Don't wanna talk about it. Andruw Jones was the cherry on top. Now, we had to give kids to people to rent people. That's the G.M's fault. If there was any accountability, then his a-s-s wou-be parked.
