I know. Bu can't someone dream. It is always feels like were on the short end of things. It has to be reversed at least once.... Maybe not.

Castillo, Lo Duca, and Valdez for Lee. Just go with me here...regardless, right now, of whether the Marlins would do that, is that a good deal for us? We add a lefty, a lead off hitter, a base stealer, and an all star in castillo, a capable starting C in Lo Duca, and a 4th or 5th starter to fill out the rotation. Also, maybe add in Encarnacion, to replace Lee. Would Florida do that? Probably not. But I would...I think that's fair value. They get a LF who will probably thrust himself into stardom next year, and they shave off a few million, and we fill multiple holes.

Tomorrow, they have the Rule 5 Draft there.

Oh well.

Awesome. What's RSS, and how can I use it?

Jeez Cheat, where do you find these? Keep up the good work! Lol. Also, I know this is way late, but...why'd you change your name?

I was more envisioning a trade with the Bears where they get Borchard and the Sox get Hutchinson. Sounds good to me!

Shagar, I'd give up BMac too if we got Hudson, but ONLY if we could sign him to an extension.

Wow, 12.4 Mil a Year for Beltre...he MIGHT be worth it, but way to risky.

I just checked the article, and the other guys who interest me are Blasko, Connoly, Hernandez, Haggerty, Meyer, and Knox.

What pick do the Sox have, same as the real draft, 15th? I'd like Sisco, but Griffin would be my first choice. There were a few others that interested me, but I can't remember them now.

That's BJ Upton you're thinking of. Also, Lugo would be nice, but I can think of others who I'd want more.

As will I.

I'd be ecstatic with Griffin, excited with Sisco.

This: Plus this: Makes me wonder. Hmm. Oh, the second one is from Rotoworld.

What was the second physical? "Please pee in this cup from 60'6" away. We want to see how accurate you are."

These two I'd hang on to: McCarthy and Sweeney.

Hmm. I'm actually surprised. Considering his market value, I thought he'd get more like 12-13 Million a year.

That's what I want to know.

Much better. I wouldn't mind Miguel Batista.

Tony "Crazy Stance" Batista? Is that the Bastista we're talking about here? Cuz I don't want him, I'd rather have Crede.

Oakland wasn't interested in Hairston or Roberts. Hmm...that makes me wonder, why would they Harris then? Well, I suppose he's a lefty, and is faster (althought Roberts has awesome instincts). And yeah, they'd probably prefer Hudson for themselves.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. But, from what I've read so far, theyd have to give up Ryan, Bedard, plus a prospect. In this case, they don't have to give up a prospect. Plus, it would make their lineup even more potent.

Well, I'm hoping that we don't give up Konerko and Garland for just Vazquez. I'd need more. There's 2 guys I really want (not both of them--well, that'd be good too--but at least one), one is an FA, one through trade. Those guys are Odalis Perez and Tim Hudson. I think it will take something in the 6-7 Mil year region for Perez, which I think is feasible. Hudson would probably require a 3 team deal, as what we have doesn't match the A's wants. Perhaps this: Oakland gets: BJ Ryan Erik Bedard Willie Harris Baltimore gets: Paul Konerko Sox get: Tim Hudson Hmm...that probably wouldn't work, but it's the best I can think of right now. Perhaps I'll get a bit more creative later. Also, if we did do that, we'd need to have another MI signed already, and Uribe could play the other spot. I'm really hoping we come out with Renteria as well. I doubt we could get him AND Perez but...we shall see. Also, what day do the meetings offically start? Tomorrow?

They offered him arb, didn't they? And yeah, I'd be jumping for joy if we landed him.
