I can safely eat 3/4 of a can of albacore tuna per week, according to this calculator: http://www.ewg.org/issues/mercury/20031209/calculator.php There was one summer where I ate five cans of tuna each week.

Saving Private Ryan is pretty good.

Harris, Anderson, Gload, and El Duque + cash? Where do I sign?!?!?!

From that snippet, it sounds like a Bradley for Marte deal is pure conjecture. Thinking about the line Bradley would put up at U.S. Cellular makes me giddy, but he is such a headcase that pulling the trigger on a deal like that is risky. You don't really need to make a move like that with a team that just won the World Series, and is mainly intact.

Owens should not be up stunting his growth with sparse at bats and wasting a year of service time. I'm cool with Davanon.

I think the bad September Marte had may have left a bad taste in many mouths. Before that month he had a 3.07 ERA. Keep in mind he was pitching over injury in several outings, but part of the blame goes on Marte for the way he handled the situation. Even so, he could've gotten things together before next season. Maybe by healing physically, maybe by sorting things out mentally. The chance was worth taking in my opinion. If things work out, he'll be better than Myers and give you twice as many innings.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) If the Sox's decide to get involved and Brandon Sing is still avaible I hope we would take a shot with him doesn't have great Defense but has ruthian power and led the SL in Homers last season. I brought this up awhile ago because I thought it had the slightest of chances to happen but then I learned Sing can't play a lick at third base. But I think there's a chance he could be for real. People I talked to said he had to battle some injuries early on and only recently has he been injury-free. This is a strong case for his future success if you take a look at the numbers he's put up the past two seasons (in pitcher's league/park). On the other hand many Cubs fans consider him to rank around 10th or lower in their prospect depth chart. I will be keeping an eye on him in the future for sure.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) 3b well I guess they can work on that. They should try and aquire Marte from Atlanta, not like they are going to use him anytime soon. But I am sure ATL would ass rape them. Bill Hall's first full season wasn't too shabby. Just odd that it was his best year in the Brewers organization, including the minor leagues.

I guess those rumors that the Jays denied Overbay for McGowan weren't true then... And I respectully disagree with Jason, I like this deal for the Brewers and I think Bush is gonna be a good one.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) I read that both of them had setbacks when the Cubs tried to promote them to AAA. They performed well in AA, but that's no guarantee that they'd ever make the majors. They needed a player like Pierre for their offense badly, and it's worth giving up prospects and a low-end starter like Mitre to get him. They didn't do too well at AAA, but they were both promoted at the trail end of their respective seasons and between them have a total of only 17 starts at AAA. They are both young (22 and 23) and have quality aggregate minor league numbers. There's definitely a chance they will amount to little in the majors, but people shouldn't think that the Cubs didn't give up much. Two of your best trading chips for only one guaranteed year of a slap hitter like Pierre isn't a steal by any means.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) this sucks the cubs give up nothing and get a good leadoff hitter in return. They gave up the two best pitchers in their system (with arms that aren't going to fall off).

Memory has been confirmed as expandable. Kinda a pain though. "While some of our competitors enjoy comparing specifications, it has little or nothing to do with how satisfied the consumers will be with the system and the games once they are released." -marketing.

I made a deal with Jason, Chisoxfn. He was a great seller. Very fair in price and great communication after we starting talking about the item.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) I said the same thing after the Loaiza signing. You look terribly foolish a year later offering a huge deal when you could have had the same pitcher the year before for next to nothing, comparably. -- I'd be interested to see what Rotoworld had to say RE: the Loaiza signing. I wonder if they were busy slobbing Billy's knob, for such an obviously foolish deal. If the Sox made a deal like this there would be some little quip about how stupid we are as an organization.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) I have been told that its a done deal. I have also been told that the Hoffman and Tribe deal is pretty much done too. The AJ Burnett sweepstakes will go for awhile. Can you post any insider information you hear in the future into this thread? Thanks.
