Gorzo is Gonzo (to the Nats)

Farewell Tom... we hardly knew ye. That may explain why Hendry's phone was ringing so much during the seminars. :)

How much was Gorzelanny slated to earn this year?

Viva la Cubs Révolution!!!

by Chanman25 on Jan 17, 2011 1:16 PM CST reply actions

About $2 million I believe.

Now to see if we get anything of interest in those 3 prospects.

…Storen, Harper, and Strasburg. Seems fair

During Gorzelanny's alotted time for autographs he left before his 45 minutes were up.

He didn’t have much of a line but when it died down someone came from behind the curtain to talk to him and then as soon as there was a break he hoped up a left (about 15 minutes ahead of schedule). The two things probably aren’t related but that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a player leave early.

I was thinking the Nats were a great fit for a Gorz trade

and was hoping we could pry Steve Lombardozzi away from them. Alas, we will have to see who these three guys are. We sure do seem to be acquiring a lot of pitchers lately. You can never have too much I guess.

Lombardozzi is an imposter! He's like 51 years old. He just looks young and he fooled Jim Bowden

I swear he was on the 1987 twins

Yes.

According to Wikipedia

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"

Hmm

Will be interesting to see who these prospects are. I

I think moving James Russell

to the rotation would be a mistake. He wasn’t good as a starter in the minors.

I think we’re just going to have to go without a lefty starter. Better five good righties than four good righties and a bad lefty.

Agreed.

Will have something on the front page soon.

My thoughts exactly.

Agree 100%

If this forces moving Russell to the rotation, it’s a bad move. Depending on the prospects we got back this could be a good move. I really hope we didn’t give Gorzo away.
