Winston

Why?

[HUGG]

Do what you got to do, but if you leave your fandom because of one player, you clearly were never a fan of the team to begin with.

Totally did this when Bonds left Pittsburgh, why I'm a Marlins fan.

Of course, I was 11 when he signed with SF.

[Big Z]

Yes, the Venezuelan connection. You have Ozzie and Big Z, now you're missing Abreu.

[Ramp]

can he play CF?

I think I'd rather sign Vizquel...

[lou]

I think I'd rather have Coghlan and Petersen than Abreu for the bench.

[Big Z]

can he play CF?

Maybe on MLB the Show.

Not a bad bench bat though and he did want to come down with Ozzie.

[Jay]

Winston would provide some depth. I'd be a fan

I can't imagine him being ok with not playing everyday

edit: his numbers are in steep decline

He's going to be 38 once the season starts, i'm sure he would.

Ironically, this would push me back to one of my two hometown teams if I decided to go that route.

[Erick]

Who cares? He can't play CF; he can barely play a corner outfield spot.

We just signed Greg Dobbs for two years to be the pinch-hitter. And now we have Zambrano. Not only is he a better pitcher than Volstad, he's a much better hitter, too!

Bill James projects zambrano at 181 IP, 3.83 era. Volstad 164 ip, 4.34 era.

That is neat if true.

No offense, but this is pretty weird.
