The entire of drafting Brown, Teahen, McCurdy, etc. is that they will sign below market value. Not many players are going to take the lowest bonus in the first round. The A's have no wiggle room on draft day, so they have to use this tactic. What's the point of drafting someone in the first round who's demanding too much money for your budget?

Steroids 1 Baseball 0 Barry uses, end of story.

Oakland also gets cash or a PTBNL. I like Billy's second move, but they have a massive hole at catcher. Adam Melhuse is not the answer.

Oakland gains 200,000 dollars, basically. Trading Long was a smart move by Beane, although the trade of Hernandez was odd. His .331 OBP must have driven Beane and DePodesta up the walls.

Why would Robbie sign with the Yankees when Soriano already plays second? Dumb rumor.

No way the Dodgers will trade Edwin Jackson, Jason. IMO they might trade Hanrahan or Greg Miller (his stock his sky high right now).

Forgot about these leagues for some reason, so here are some stats from our boys: Mario Valenzuela .204-3-8 in 54 ABs Carlos Castillo 4.09 ERA 11 IP Ross Gload .286-6-28 112 ABs Jake Meyer 6.23 ERA 4.1 IP Jon Acevas .211-1-3 19 ABs -- Fernando DeAza 5.40 ERA 5 IP Jamie Navarro (OMG ROFL!@!) Aaron Rowand .100-2-2 20 ABs -- Felix Arellan 108.00 ERA .1 IP Tetsu Yofu 12.46 ERA 4.1 IP Carlos Maldonado .273-2-4 33 ABs

Is Danny Evans still the Dodgers GM, because if he is KW is picking on the right guy. Evans is a complete dolt. IMO, it's more likely that Lee will be shipped than Konerko, only because we'd have to give something to LA with Konerko. No one in their right mind would trade a left hander with some upside for Paul Konerko, but this is Dan Evans.

I'm surprised Fitzpatrick is still the PK. I know Setta is injured, but their "backup" Carl Gioia is realllly good. He's from Valpo, and he can drill the ball with very good accuracy.

Good move, and the Brewers past two-three drafts have been mighty impressive.

Reed also walked and stole a base. Wee!

We need pictures.

Unless the 'Stros get Gavin Floyd or Cole Hamels as the PTBNL, they're f***ing morons for doing this.

yeah...and then they dropped out of oblivion, like the rest of british music before Oasis...AND THEN, RH came back AFTER Oasis blew the door right open... which brings me to... which is even easier for me....you're wrong. sigur Ros? they influenced who? the 12 people who bought their album? If you would have said Bjork, then maybe...cos she's why anyone even listens to Sigur Ros. good lord...I need to go home. Oh give me a break, you're full of s*** and you know it. The Bends was immensely popular, and with Pablo Honey Radiohead created a considerable fan base. Was OK Computer huge because of Oasis? No, and neither was The Bends. Sigur Ros hasn't influenced anyone? Radiohead has made it pretty clear that part of Kid A was based off of Agaetis Byrjun, the group's 2nd album after Von. Also, I love it how you're completely ignorant and assume the following: Sigur Ros is unpopular and everyone likes Sigur Ros because of Bjork. I don't listen to Bjork at all, and I really doubt I will.

I really don't know if Oasis "opened doors" for Brit rock bands. How did Radiohead become successful with "Creep"? Sure wasn't because of Oasis. For me, it's easy. Radiohead and Sigur Ros.

DamasOwned. He should be our closer, the guy is a freak.

ANyone else find it ironic that WSI also changed their logo to their front page?

If Gammons is correct, and I highly doubt he is (Hello Russ Ortiz, Anaheim trade escapades), the only thing we'd get is Type A comp for the Yankees. I don't know why Colon would want to be in pinstripes anyways, considering everyone just saw first hand 180 million doesn't buy you a World Series. Also, bad rumors have been spreading that Steinbrenner is pissing off a lot of people in the clubhouse.

DUDE, NO WAY. SERIOUSLY, NO W-A-Y. My girlfriend's mom's mexican lovesvale's five year old's stuffed animal told me that the Sox would trade C Lee for the next coming of Jesus Christ, but I was like hold on! I'm like, well the dead incarnate of Adolf Hitler told me that the Sox were gonna trade Rowand for Nomar, Manny, and Trot Nixon. THENNNNN he told me to read Mein Kampf and kill some jews, and I'm like "NO, THAT IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE!" This is fun!

It's not illegal at all. Only the top echelon of assholes privately e-mail you and then threaten legality upon you.

Bleh, why so much hate? By the way, I'm a South Side Chicago kid, so I was raised as a huge ND fan. That and I'm applying to the university.

Basically direct linking of an image. If you do it hundreds upon hundreds of times, you'll notice it on your bill. But, to be honest, WSI's pictures aren't even directly linked enough to pay for a value menu at McDonald's.
