Tony Gwynn Jr increasing his trade value

Just what I like to see

battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm

Not to burst your bubble

But the odds of Gwynn going anywhere until the centerfield situation for 2010 is sorted out are minimal. With Cam too expensive, Cain potentially delayed due to injury and what’s available via FA not that much better, TGJr has the inside track on being your 2010 opening day starting CF.

I was having a good morning until you said that.

"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."

haha

I’m guessing this has to be on Doug and Mark’s “Worst-Case Scenario” list.

Do you disagree

or just blocked the possibility from your mind?

by Getting Yosted on May 12, 2009 10:26 AM CDT up reply actions

Just because he exists and is in the organization doesn't give him the inside track on being the Opening Day starter

I think the team has pretty clearly measured him and found him wanting as far as a starting outfielder goes (hence signing Cameron in the first place). If Cameron leaves, they’ll trade or sign someone (your Opening Day 2010 starting center fielder: Alejando De Aza!).

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

Personally

I’m counting on Turnbow following Ankiel’s career track. It’s been pretty close so far…

Also, cheese.

And he doesn’t even get to face Lindsay Gulin!
