Hamate injuries and lack of power production are fact, not fiction….sheesh.

Unless Huntington makes it plainly clear that the Pirates won’t trade McDonald, one has to wonder who the Pirates would want and could expect to get for McDonald. Brown? Profar? Who?

Every explanation is speculative in nature. This does not apply to God, however. God truly sees what is; humans speculate about what is.

Grossman’s hamate injury generates explanatory force with respect to his hitting problems this season. That’s my claim.

sooooooooooo……..again, I know what a hamate can do to a hitter, but is that the REAL reason for Grossman’s bad year so far? Or is all this just speculation on your part?

i guess there’s no point arguing this. While I wouldn’t mind if D Brown was in our org, we ain’t gonna trade DMac to get him.

It wont help us this year. I did not claim it would help this year.

We want Brown because he can/could hit, can be moved to firstbase, do not have anyone like him in the high minor leagues, etc.

It has been reported that the Phillies haven’t given up on Brown. They want him to work on his game in AAA.

Well, hitters do use their hands to hit. Hamate injuries do undermine a hitter’s ability to drive the ball. So……

Why do we want Brown? Sure, he has potential but not if it means giving up JMac. I live near Philly and for all the injuries they’ve had, they haven’t felt compelled to bring up D Brown.

No way the Bucs trade JMac……….no way. And D Brown ain’t a slam dunk either. You do know that he is hitting all of .269 with only 4 HRs. How is that gonna help us?
