If Gonzalez signs, he's a bigger steal than even Sweeney IMO.

Well, someone is getting brought up or a trade is going down quite soon.

Your ignorance never ceases to amaze me. As my Uncle said yesterday, he's probably being judged by the nuns massacred in El Salvador and the gays who died of AIDS. While I did not like him as a President, may he rest in peace.

RHP Dan Wright had reconstructive elbow surgery June 1 and is not expected to pitch for the next 18 months, the Arlington Heights Daily Herald reported June 3. "His (elbow) ligament was beat up," trainer Herm Schneider told the newspaper. "He also had a lot of bone chips in there. They cleaned it up and strengthened the ligament."

I think I heard that this is not Duane Shafer's kid. COuld be wrong though. Everly was drafted twice by the Sox, solid pickup. Hear anything on Van Pope? BA rated him the 3rd best JuCo draft and follow.

Also remember that Finley is a 5/10 guy, meanign he can veto any trade he doesn't like.

I'd do that trade in a second and laugh my way to the bank.

No, but I'll see if I can find it anywhere where I live (doubtful).

Maybe that's why Zito has become so overrated and turned to s***.

Throw out the first game Shingo pitched and you've got: 19.1 IP 9 H 1 R 1 ER 0 HR 5 BB 16 SO My trusty calculator says that's an ERA of 0.46. WHIP of .72. If you don't think Shingo should be our closer, I'd suggest watching hitters flail all over the place trying to hit a 60 MPH frisbee after seeing a astball paint the corner at 87.

So Corey would rather make on out than take a strike? Well Corey, enjoy being a sub 800 OPS all throughout your career then. You make my signature proud.

I think the contrast between Flora's face when he first joins the partisans and when he leaves the barn did it for me. While I have heard that he might have been hypnotized at that scene, Klimov did a f***ing amazing job with the facial expressions. To this day, I think Flora's face when he sees the Byelorussian citizens burned in the church is the most powerful anti-war thing I have seen. For a first time actor to give a performance that good is absolutely astonishing. I had a feeling you might have seen this, Brando. I tink I'm one of the 3 people in Indiana who have actually seen this movie.

It's kind of hard calling up J Reed when all spots on the 40 man roster are filled. Unless KW is some sort of magician, this was the right move to make. And a healthy Jamie Burke is much better than an injured Joe Borchard.

This is a joke, right? Won't happen, end of story.

Mock draft on MLB Radio TOMORROW 11 AM - 12 PM. From picks 16 onward throughout the first round. http://radio.mlb.com

Ferris has Oakland written all over him....except he's a Junior. Interesting guy, can hit the crap out of the ball.

Odalis Perez: 2-3 3.05 ERA 11 GS .671 OOPS Away from the Ravine: 5 GS 35 IP OBA .193 WHIP That's hard to resist, but it'd be difficult to find someone cheaply to produce an .880 OPS.

Gautreau has been poor at best throughout his stint in the Padres organization. As of now he's hitting an impressive .216 in AA after hitting around .250 in Mobile last year. If anything, Josh Barfield is the Padres 2B of the future, but even he is struggling mightily in AA.

BP said 9, go figure.

Whoa, stop right there. Maybe Jose has had more DP opps than Konerko? Other factors? Let's break out the stats once again, 2003 style. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statisti...dp_rate2003.htm Jose had 96 DP opps and only hit into 9 DPs. In other words, he hit into a DP 9% of the time when given the opportunity. Konerko had 100 DP opps and hit into 28 of them. An atrocious 28% of the time! And accoring to the NETDP statistic, he was the worst batter to step up to the plate during DP situations, with a score of 14.97 In 2004, offensively, PK is only worth three more runs than Jose according to VORP (Value Over Replacement Player; think AAAA guy). Now, Paulie is 2nd in the AL in VORP for 1B, Jose is a respectable 5th. EQA wise, PK comes up with an impressive .302, around 4th for AL 1B. Jose brings around a .288 EQA, 4th best in the American League for SS. Maybe Jose is a little mroe valuable than you thought.

That's exactly why I took them out and counted them as hits. But that's just being naive that every player would make no errors. One can only dream, no?

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Mucho thanks.
