First of all, spending 40 million on Contreras is a joke. Second of all, the Yankees payroll is getting dreaduflly near 200 million dollars, including the 40 man. What luxury tax?

No, he's resigning for about 9 million a year.

LDF: you are a real idiot, his rep started out of stl before he even made it to tex. know your facts before you open your mouth, it makes you look like the real idiot you really are. Seems to me that Tubbo Wells was the actual clubhouse cancer in 2001, and in 2002 Clayton didn't do a thing. He whined to Manuel after getting benched. Oh, he's a clubhouse cancer all-right. you calling f***ing stupid when again you don't know your fact. kw even acknowledge last yr that if he had a chance to do it over again he wouldn't have fired him. you and your love affair with clayton that you can't even see the real facts. btw you moron, its been mention many times that clayton lead to the coach getting fired. Get me a report that says Clayton led to the firing of Von Joshua, then I might believe you. It was reported over and over, that Joshua was a f***ing bum, and was lazy as all hell. yep to put up decent numbers. it amazes me sooo much how sports writers have all mention that this was a huge mistake and yet you say that he stunk. you are really lacking in the creditability here. who do you think knows more, you or a sports wtiter? Are you f***ing insane? Did you not see Kip Wells crap his pants over and over and over on the mound? This guy ahd three years to get his s*** together, and he continually failed. He couldn't pitch inside, or get his breaking balls over. Nardi ruined him, plain and simple. He goes to Pittsburgh, sees an actual pitching coach, and wallah. what the f*** are you saying here and what does drafting have to do with anything? these guys haven't done s*** yet and until they do, don't count on them as being a success. remember, of the recent trades, we gave up an all star 2b for a reallllll amazing career minor leaguer. wow. i am really impress. So, by your method to the madness, we should go out and get proven veterans instead of young guys. Guess who tried the same thing the last two years, KW!@!!!! By your opinion, as I stated earlier, we should just stop drafting people all-together. I mean, they haven't proven anything at the big league level, so why draft? Think before you speak. what has d boston has done to warrant his promotion to the bigs except being kw friend. the coach even mention that boston was worthless and we are talking about greg walker who is coaching in 3A. Did you just realize that it's not who you are, but who you know? Remove your head from your ass, god damn. LDF, I'm not even going to acknowledge you in this thread anymore, for two reasons: 1) You're just spewing out garbage. Your opinions conflict with your others at every step in the road. I'd rather ram my head into a wall. 2) Learn to type. I'm sorry, but it's almost impossible to see what you're trying to say. Half the time, I have no clue what you're trying to say. If you typed better, you'd relay your points better.

Miller's K-IP ratio is close to 1, which is very good. He probably had such a high ERA because he had 30 BB in 60 IP. If he cuts that down, he should be a guy to watch.

Through experience, I have found that VBB is easily changeable, and it is very easy to use. I'd go w/ VBB.

Why the f*** would ANYONE want Jeff Suppan? The guy is effective as Tanyon Sturtze. Fick, is a dick. Enough said.

JB's career 5 ERA thinks otherwise. He blows, I hope he goes to Japan or something.

I don't know, I do believe we can beat Minnesota. Also, Mariotti can go die now, he's f***ing ruining Around The Horn, which is the best sports show on right now. That and he has his upper torso jammed up Sammy's ass.

Here's some 4th OF options (we'll prolly get Singleton ) Palmeiro http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5441 Cat http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5907 Hollandworth http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5301 IMO, I'd go with Catalanotto, in about five seconds. He could be a very, very good leadoff guy while playing 2B. And, he'd provide stability, if Jose leaves after this season. Plus, he doesn't make many errors, and is a lefty. Edit: Cat link edited

Eh, won't matter when you've got the next Willie Mays in CF! 140 SO and 20 BB, eat it mofuggers!!! And to think, some Cubs fans still think he has promise.

I can't wait for SoxFest, if WSI has a booth. I'd have to walk past them with my right arm raised, ah good times.

Suppan? JB? King of the gopher balls right there. I'd take Person, Valdes, or Daal.

It's down. Man, the admins must be going insane not being able to ban or moderate anyone.

Clemens is close to resignign w/ the Yanks. And with Contreras likely going to the BoSox, it's probably going to be either us or the Reds getting Colon/Vasquez.

To be completely honest, I'd want Frank. He can play basically anything, except C, CF, and P. To me he's Tony G with a better bat. I mean, last year he hit .330.

I wouldn't want to go to St. Louis at all. They're not exactly getting any younger, and their minors...well blow.

Suppan? God no, I'd rather have Ritchie and Daal.

Guys, look at the roster. According to that our entire team is a FA after this year. But, most of our players are Minor-Leaguers, or fairly new to the MLB, so there contracts DO NOT expire at the end of this year. We'll have to resign Graffy (won't happen), and Osuna (eh), Frank and C Lee. Yes, Buehrle is arbitration eligible for a while, don't worry.

I'm pretty sure that Josh has to stay up in the bigs this time, or he's gone.

Also, I'd resign Ritchie. I mean, the first month of the season, he was throwing some VERY nasty stuff over the plate. The first game he started, against Seattle, he just blew people away.

Oh boy, if we don't get Ritchie back, I'm hoping Stewart can win the job over Biddle.

There's a major difference. Alomar can throw runners out. Plus, he can bring a little more to the table than Paul can...he hits better, he plays better behind the plate, he calls better games, he knows our staff and he will be a good factor in Olivo's growth. Not only that, but what if Paul and Olivo flop? Wouldn't it be nice to have one catcher we can count on what we are getting(which may be good hitting and good catching or may be a guy on the DL who just teaches neat s*** to Olivo)? I think it would be. Yes, I would like to have Alomar as well, but given the choice of Alomar or Paul, gimme the younger, healthier one. Plus if Olivo is a bust, I don't see Alomar as being the savior. I guess in Cerb's world this is a major signing that I should be rejoicing rather than calling him a stiff. But he lives in another world, a world where Kenny Williams is a great GM, I guess. BTW, Cerb, he wouldn't even need to walk down the street WRONG for me to flip out on him. He would just have to walk down the street in my view. It's a major signing, because it means I won't get to see Josh Paul up here. NO DON'T GO TO THRID, WTFTFHGAJHGKGAFJGAFJ!!!

Rocky will not be our #4. I'm Ritchie will be, Rockmeister can go rot in the bullpen and blow out his elbow again.

I'd rather ink Palmeiro.
