The Baseball Show: Hall of Fame, Garza, Bryce Harper, Reds and White Sox
On Wednesday night, co-host Clint Evans from Diamond Hoggers and I were back at it with 2011’s first episode of The Baseball Show.
Topics include:
- Our thoughts on Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven’s selection to the Hall of Fame.
- We weigh in on some of the other notable players – Barry Larkin, Fred McGriff, Jeff Bagwell, and Edgar Martinez – who either came up just short in the voting or failed to receive adequate support.
- We talk about the man (kind of), the myth, the legend…Bryce Harper. Could we see Harper in D.C. in 2011? Probably not, but we entertain the idea and suggest several hypothetical scenarios.
- Who was the winner in the Matt Garza trade? We explore his concerning 2010 performance as well as assess the slew of prospects that were shipped off by the Cubs.
- Like always, we dedicated some time to talking about our respective teams, the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. Clint explains what the signing of Edgar Renteria, Jeremy Hermida, and Fred Lewis means for the Reds, and also touches upon how the loss of Arthur Rhodes might affect the bullpen.
- I discuss the White Sox decision to sign Will Ohman, and how his presence in the bullpen suggests that the South Siders have slotted Chris Sale as a starting pitcher.
