Friday, August 06, 2004RundownWashburn's return still a long way off:
Jarrod Washburn did not take part in a scheduled long-toss yesterday, likely a sign that his return is still weeks away. He may not be cleared to pitch until "the final weeks of [the] pennant race."Weaver, Angels not talking The Angels and first-round draft pick Jered Weaver have not yet begun contract negotiations.GA not worried about lack of power"It would be nice to be negotiating, but we're not," Stoneman said by telephone. "There's nothing happening here."This really has to make you feel good about Bill Stoneman. "I'm not sure exactly what we expected"? Scott Boras told you what to expect: a Prior-esque signing bonus in the $10m area. Why don't we start there? PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE! Garret Anderson, who doesn't have an extra-base hit since July 15th and whose SLG has nosedived to .434, says that he's not worried about his lack of power:"I'm just not hitting anything in the gaps or over the fence," he said. "I've never claimed to be a power hitter. I just happen to hit line drives out of the park sometimes. That's just not happening right now."Well, if he's not worried, I'm not worried. Yeah, right. GA's decrease in bat speed since his return from injury has been stunning. You actually can see the difference with the naked eye. Don't see it? Just count how many foul balls he hits over the home dugout in a single at-bat. |
