Steal him from us.... Are you kidding? Ok....If we fail to sign him we have the best young defensive infield in baseball. Juan Uribe at SS who will give us a .280+ Average and 25+ HR's and Willie Harris at 2B who next year I'm sure can get himself over .280+ and this year had a .340+ OBP. If we sign Omar Vizquel (Who failed a physical with Seattle just last year!). Will bat at best .250. sub .300 OBP. He will get lazy and complacent. You guys don't get it this was his last Hurrrah! IT WAS A CONTRACT YEAR. Do you really think he's going to care about Winning at this point. It's all about him! Let them have that son of a b****. We're better off!

Didn't we almost get this guy before but KW choose Bartolo Colon instead? I can't imagine why the Yankees would trade him though.

I just bought this at the mall tonight and it's hilarious. Has anyone else gotten it? It's formatted like a whacked out text book. Well worth the 20 dollars I paid for it...

Never even heard of it. What channel is it on?

Besides i'm not so sure he would be as lazy this time around. We could give him a minor league deal for just one year, with no option for a second year. He would have to know that it's his last chance to accomplish something in his career and make some decent money. Plus we'd be giving him the league minimum. If he didn't pan out we just drop him.

I actually like your idea alot more then mine. However what i'm afraid of is that we are going to cheap out and end up with Jason Grilli as our 5th starter {Shudder} In that case then even Esty is an improvement.

I wouldn't mind giving him a minor league deal. It might give him motivation to bust his ass and get his velocity back... We could always just drop them if they don't pan out.

Anyone here who wasn't allowed to celebrate Halloween?

I know it's only a matter of time before someone suggested it so it might as well be me. Would anyone give him a minor league contract and have him go after the 5th Starters job? I'm talking league minimum here. He's got to be better then Grilli at least.

I'll post a really realistic lineup... CF- Aaron Rowand C- Jason Kendell DH- Frank Thomas LF- Carlos Lee 1B- Paul Konerko SS- Juan Uribe RF- Alex Escobar/Carl Everett 3B- Joe Crede 2B- Willie Harris Bench: Timo Perez - OF Ross Gload - 1B/OF Jamie Burke- C/1B/3B/RF Wilson Valdez - IF Ben Davis- C Rotation: Freddy Garcia Mark Burherle Jose Contreas Jon Garland Felix Diaz (Since he would own Grilli in spring training!) Bullpen: Jon Adkins- Long Neil Cotts- Long Cliff Politte-SU Damaso Marte-SU Shingo Takasu-SU/CL Free Agent-SU/CL You add Jason Kendal at C and suddenly it's a 1st place team!

So what does everyone think the time table on Escobar will be? Do you think he'll be in the Spring Training mix or that he will end up just coming in for 06'?

As much as I hate Bush.... Ahh f*** it!

:sleep

I was half asleep when I first read that and thought it said Koby Bryant... Seriously though that is one messed up story. Where in the hell were this girls parents. I mean 14, pregnant, geez.

Those Red Cubs can kiss my ass. :fthecubs

:fthecubs Where is our f*** The Red Sox sign?

I thought ELO did a great job. In fact I wouldn't mind inking up a nice minor league contract for him. Light a fire under his butt and have him beat out Grilli.

You strike me as more of a Brian....

:sleep

The really sad part about this is that I have a friend who is in a wheel chair and it took them 2 years to give them the proper amount.

I'm Brian... Nice!

Come on ELO, get the job done. Finish those Red Scrubbies off!

I can't help it i'm rooting for Zesty Esty... GO LOAZIA!

You have to give it up to ELO. He's come through for the yanks. Hell I didn't even know he was on their playoff roster...
