I have adopted a "sucks until further notice" type approach. As of now, Danks and Floyd suck something fierce. I can't put into words how much they suck. I might get heated if these guys had extraordinary tools and people just s*** all over them like they were completely worthless, but that's not the case here, is it? In the long term, Danks and Floyd are competent middle-of-the-rotation pitchers at best, correct? If there is no spectacular upside to speak of, you've gotta let the negative opinions slide. I'm not bothered by threads like these at all.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Slightly off topic, does anyone know what happened to Danny Wright after his surgery? He works at Burger King now, IIRC.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 04:26 PM) Having Danks as the #3 doesn't make me very confident going into the season. LOL Confidence is at an all-time low, no doubt.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 07:41 AM) Kaz Matsui is hoping to return to action this weekend. He's been out for a week with an anal fissure.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) So, it SEEMS that most people would prefer to go to a weekly transaction limit, but NOT weekly transactions. Is that right? yep

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) Another option is you could lock adds and drops when playoffs start and if someone wants to make a change it would only be if they have no DL spots left and need to make an add also if they need to take someone off DL. s*** happens, though. I lost both Carl Crawford and Tim Lincecum during the playoffs last season*. Carl didn't go on the DL, and Tim got shelved without the NA designation, IIRC. That type of stuff occurs every year, though. We definitely need weekly transactions in the playoffs. *I still would have gotten slammed by jackie, regardless. It was a monumental beatdown.

I was insulting SoxWS05, for the record. You guys are tho thensitive.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Mar 10, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) Crede was born with a gold glove on his hand. Duh. Crede actually had tremendous defensive upside as a young player. Fields is butcher status out of the 3B slot, and he has limited defensive upside. A corner outfielder is all.

There's always that one coward who will add/drop wack SPs on a daily basis in order to win the accumulation categories (Ks, Ws). There is nothing worse than being in a playoff matchup with someone like that. Limiting transactions on a weekly basis could help to curb that nonsense.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 10, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) Another way would be to limit the number of weekly transactions. Pickups would still be first-come, first-served, but noone would be allowed to switch more than a handful of players each week. Although, I'm not sure what the 'right' limit would be. I think that a maximum of 3 weekly transactions would be reasonable.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 05:43 PM) News flash: Co-workers sometimes don't get along! More at 10. Yeah, I'll bet that you got beef with all of your co-workers. You strike me as that type.

How about next Thursday at 8 PM? I'm gonna need at least a week to prepare. I mean, I already know that I'm drafting Tim Lincecum, but I'm gonna have to come up with a list of guys who'll be able to mesh well with Tim for team chemistry purposes.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) Oh come on, you'll probably be done in 5 minutes anyway. 5 minutes? Try 45 seconds, tops.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 05:17 PM) Seriously, what else is there to do on Sundays? I hang out with my parents on Sunday. That's probably the worst day other than Friday or Saturday to hold a draft. I have sex on Wednesdays, but I could squeeze in a quick draft right beforehand, but it has to be at around 7.

Anywhere from 7 to 9 PM on any day other than Friday or Saturday works for me. Nothing in the AM, please.

I read in the trib that he died of lung cancer at the age of 41???? What's the story? I remember this dude from that god-awful piece of s*** movie "Road House". RIP.

If it's true, then this guy deserves to have his nuts chopped off. I'd much rather watch this dude get tortured to death as opposed to seeing a helpless animal getting thrown off of a cliff. If I was in combat with this lowlife, he might get hit with some friendly fire.

What's up, fellas. As far as a draft date is concerned, how about March 25th? It's on a Tuesday. Anywhere from 7 to 9 PM works for me.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 03:38 AM) I dunno, but he was trash for the Bulls. It may be that he was just half-assing it in Chicago, but that wasn't going to change. He could have a resurgence in Cleveland and it still wouldn't make this a bad trade. He was either washed up or apathetic, and either way, he's gotta go. And just for the record, I always thought Tyson was good. Word, but jackie, you can't be one of the top 10 defenders in NBA history at the age of 30, and then a complete piece of s*** at 33. Was he utilized properly in his time with Chicago? That's what people need to be asking themselves. This trade was historically bad. We just picked up two of the absolute dumbest players in the NBA. I can't put into words how stupid these guys are.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) I still don't see why they'd do it. Wallace was a cancer for us and the team is better by him being gone alone. Then you look at Drew Gooden who is still only 26 damn years old, you get Hughes who at least wants the shot (though he's glass and not very good when he takes the shot), and two young players. You are such a fraud. It's scary.

Wallace won four DPOY awards, and all of a sudden he is trash at the age of 33? Tyson Chandler was damaged goods as well, correct?

I gotta go with FlaSoxxJim.

Where is nitetrain?

I voted for sleepy. He's a champion in my world.

Jim, when did you become less funny than knightni?
