If he came back next year for some reason the season would be forfeited.

He wants to get his 3000th hit. He will find a starting job some where.

No what i always think is weird. In every basketball game the bulls are rated in the top ten. I am talking even after jordan and the gang left in 98.

The philles park is nearly as bad as ours. So expect similar numbers if not alittle worse. I don't really think it is a coincidence that his numbers have increased since not being around mazzone. Mazzone is incredible. Turned hampton back into his old form, wright into a stud, and who honestly though thomson would ever have an era under 4?

Should eric milton's value go up because he has a 1 something career era in the playoffs? Even though is is not very good during the regular season.

You remember that? Wow.

There was a rumored deal jason kendall and craig wilson for david ross and yhency brazoban. I could see something along those lines but it makes no sense that wilson would have to be in the deal.

This past season they got at each others throats more than ever. At points it was quite humorous. Anyone know when d.j.'s contract negotiations are next?

That is what the marlins highest offer for him will be i heard. Anyways i think the sox should go after mike redmond hard. I expect him to bounce back after his down year this year. Coming into this year he was nearly a .290 hitter and had an obp over .350.

They video was pretty damn good tells exactly how alot of people feel. But i can see people trying to get this off the radio, mtv, and BET.

I would go with how you said it.

Technically beck has a team option but they have no intentions of picking it up. Rotoworld say... Padres requested unconditional release waivers on RHP Rod Beck. Beck had a 6.38 ERA in 26 innings after spending the first month and a half on the restricted list. Even though he did nothing for the Padres, there will probably be a few teams looking to add him once he clears waivers. Our guess is that he'll head back to San Francisco. So you could probally take team option off. But it's up to you guys.

Rusty greer has a mutual option. Grissom has a team option.

Trust me the site you used is legit i have been using it for over a year now. I followed last years free agents from there. You forgot joe randa. Edit: Hidalgo has a team option. Edit: Rusty greer has a mutual option. Grissom has a team option.

There are much better sites.

I really don't buy into the whole if you do well in the playoffs you will get a bigger contract deal. You have to do well during the season to get into the playoffs in the first place and the last two years in the regular season he has not done very good.

I want them do really well in spring training and get a shot in the majors. But at the same time they both need at least another year if not a year and a half more in the minors i feel..

He won't be to start the year most likely. He will still be recovery from his sugery

I agree, some on that list were wayout there.

Some may feel that way definitely not all of us. I watched every game of the world series and it was not the most exciting world series. Unless you are a red sox fan.

Jeff Kent - 2B - Astros Astros declined second baseman Jeff Kent's $9 million option for 2005. Kent gets a $700,000 buyout. The Astros might talk to him about returning at a lesser price, but he's almost certainly on his way to another team. Chris Burke will take over as Houston's second baseman.

Curses are just a lame excuse for a team not being able to put it all together to win a championship. Nothing more nothing less.

55. New York Yankees 2000 Curse of Luis Gonzalez's Gum A curse which is growing more vicious by the year. 35. Texas Rangers None Curse of Robin Ventura Look, when that old man grabbed Robin around his neck and knocked him silly, let's just say Ventura's hike into the mountains of Tibet that winter paid off with a certain spell he cast over the Rangers. They are reaching you could say.
