yes to manny parra

those were the only three I could think of off the top of my "summer Shandy" soaked melon. BAtters have a .257 batting average against him. He does give up a hit an inning. 18 hits for 18 innings total. Yes i do agree he faces WAY more right handers than he should. He has walked 7 in those 18 innings as well.

just thinking for this season. I'm sure the Giants would dump Kline for that much dough.

Joe Thatcher, a 25 year old lefty currently in Nashville, needs to be given a shot in Milwaukee.

In 2005, between Helena and Brevard:
16.6 IP, 1.67 ERA, .904 WHIP, 13 K/9, .54 BB/9

In 2006, between WV, Brevard and Huntsville:
65.6 IP, 1.40 ERA, .899 WHIP, 10.98 K/9, 2.33 BB/9

This year, between Huntsville and Nashville:
28 IP, 1.29 ERA, .893 WHIP, 12.54 K/9, 1.61 BB/9

Best case scenario for me, trade Vargas to make room for Cappy, replace Capellan and Spurling with Thatcher and Parra (or Balfour) in the pen.

parra has some injury past. pitching out of the bullpen is different from the rotation. Luckily Villanueva has taken to it.

Not so sure we'll be able to replicate the success of Gallardo up here with parra or thatcher.

not so sure i'd trade vargas. As davey Nelson said on the pregame. He throws alot of pitches though. He needs to get ahead.
