PrintKevin Kouzmanoff Interview (MP3)
- Kouzmanoff explains his arm injury when he jammed it diving on a ball
- Kouz didn't want to come out of the game even though he could barely move his arm let alone throw the ball to first
- "I wanted to hide it... I wanted to pretend I was okay. That night it didn't get better and I was like 'I can't hide this'"
- Kouz tested his arm this off season by throwing a pebble at the beach. This reminds me of when a friend tested if he was sober enough to drive by flipping a water bottle one time and catching it.
- Kouzmanoff can now throw a ball to first base with "pretty close" the same velocity he could before the injury.
- Kouz back tracks and says that he may have to play differently because Luis Rodriguez may not have the same range as Khalil.
- "We don't need a payroll of $200M, like Bud says, anything can happen"

are you sure thats not Phil?
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Damn that’s funny.
"We're not going to be as bad as you think."
I don't know why he is still on the team
Gerut in LF Venable in CF Savior at 3B. We could probably pick up a better starter than effing Baek.

I just think Kooz still has good upside
that’s why I would not be quick to part with him.
Now, if we could get a young pitcher with similar upside, I’m all in.
I’d say Venable is ready. I actually wouldn’t mind trading Giles for a decent pitching prospect and putting Venable in right.
What were they going to do?
Release him? Teams don’t trade for damaged goods. That’s why he’s still a Padre.

You don't think they could spin him for a back of the rotation starter?
That’s way more valuable to us than him.

No
Not while he was hurt. And definitely not now because that team would have to replace that back of the rotation starter and there is no time to do it. Maybe at the trading deadline.
