Dibs & Kevin on Benjie Molina, Javy Lopez, Milton Bradley & others

They say sadly, Benjie Molina &/or his agent Alan Nero's actions have cost him. The Angels would've offered him 2 years, but he turned it down. The Mets wanted him, but he strung them along, trying to get more years, & the Mets went to LoDuca instead. Molina could've been nicely settled, but he over-priced himself. On the Orioles, sees Ramon Hernandez acquisition on the way to moving Javy Lopez, who, they say is more an offensive catcher, citing that Greg Maddux wouldn't throw to him. Rumor that Darren Erstad could be involved in trade for Javy. Another mistake: hiring LaTroy Hawkins---won't make up for BJ Ryan. On Milton Bradley--Dusty Baker says he deserves another chance. Manny might be a good fit for the Cubs and Dusty. On Soriano, there are precedents:
  • Hitter Gary Sheffield moved from infield to outfield
  • Hitter Robin Yount moved from infield to outfield
Kevin thinks Frank Robinson will be able to talk to Alfonso, & straighten things out.

  • this is in regards to Dibs stating the Orioles have trouble recruiting pitchers due to facing the yankees,Red Sox ....is he kidding the Blue Jays last time I looked are in the same division have 3 former Cy Young winners in Halladay, hentgen and Clemens and still recruit pitchers....

  • I believe Dibs & Kevin mentioned the
    Blue Jays have good pitching that's
    gotten better this year, making the
    AL East extremely competitive. Maybe
    Dibs knows guys whose characters
    don't quite measure up. The pitchers
    as well as the rest of the players on
    the Blue Jays are all scary. I wonder
    where the guys Dibs knew ended up? Dibs & Kevin do have a certain mindset
    about things, however.
