I'm quickly warming up to the idea of taking him off your roster and making a nice playoff run as a result.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Jays' bid for Jason Bay consisted of one phone call in which the Pirates asked for something so excessive that no further talks were needed. Shaun Marcum and Travis Snider? The Rays might be the only team with a chance of landing Bay at this late date. per roto

Absolutely horrible. Bay was involved in the deal as well with Pitt getting 4 prospects. Ryan tucker held up this deal on our end. I love Beinfest but he made a mistake here, way too cautious. Espescially if they lose Hermida at arbitration.
But if he is on the waiver wires how good can he really be ? We needed to make a trade for a good starting catcher.
And Hermida steps up with the bases loaded and sends two home. Put that in your trade rumor pipe and smoke it.
I think Beinfest got what he wanted with just Ramirez plus a prospect and the money to pay him. I'm thinking Samson is responsible for asking more from the Sox. He just seems the kind of guy who would try to jerk around like that. Regardless, we tried to add a guy who would get us to the playoffs and instead retained a guy who could help us get to the playoffs in the future. I can't fault either scenario.
according to what Gammons said on LeBatard's show is the pirates wanted different prospects then what the marlins were offering and Beinfest never changed what he offered them.
we gotta get guys across when they are in scoring position!!! bases loaded no outs.....and only one run is down right ridiculous..... 0-6 with RISP in the 5th inning......thats a shame gotta pick that up.....(now 0-7 uggla just grounded out with hammer on 3rd) uggghhhhh
he's only 1 batter outta 9.....he can't get rbi's for the other 8 guys...... manny didn't help LA with 1 on down a run in the bottom of the 9th last night side note- willingham looks great tonight.....put the lights out on the scoreboard.....hopefully he keeps this rolling in the 2nd half
and on a sidenote.....we won......awesome......but freddy really *****ed out by not letting ricky go out for the 9th.......that was gigantic BS
