I saw Inman yesterday and he is a short/small guy ... 6'? I don't think so ... but it's hard to tell in this land of Giants where only CY and Tony Clark and Matt Latos really stick out very much (on the high side) ... short didn't stop Tom Gordon, Roy Oswalt, Tim Lincecum ... but if you're gonna be small, you better be *good*! 59 … I saw Inman yesterday and he is a short/small guy … 6′?

Seems like he could be a solid mid-rotation guy in a few years. #42: LM, thanks a bunch for posting these videos!

It was a blast checkin' out all the goings-on at the practice fields ... and then see some good pitching and even better hittings vs Rox during the main game ... feeling better after yesterday's debacle vs A's :-) I’ve posted 18 more (short) videos this morning …

He wasn't the answer in CF. If all we're looking for is a sub-par hitter and fielder in center, we can call off the search. You can't swing a dead fish in Arizona without hitting one of those. 53: Owens played CF. He wasn’t the answer in CF.

I don't see much of a comparison. Gerut's issue was injuries not talent. If the injuries are behind him, which is a big IF, he may be a flat out steal.

I am an optimist but I can't go here. But then again, its happened like this before (ie-Eric Owens) but seems very far fetched. But heck, if you go with Gerut can I dream and turn to 28 year old Chip Ambres in center field ? .....nah #50 Gerut as an answer as a regular in center field ? I am an optimist but I can’t go here.
