QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Nov 11, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) Exactly, he had been my pick to win the whole show. Despite the fact that it was sloppy, after the second round I thought it was at least going to round 3, if not Justin's victory already. Yeup. Justin won the first round easily and the 2nd round could have went either way, I probably would have given it to Roy though. I just don't understand how anyone could have gave round 1 to Nelson.

Wren got jobbed, absolutely no way he lost that fight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) Now can you imagine someone like Kotex or Cowley doing something like this? He wouldn't be able to eat anything but papers for the rest of his life.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 11, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) I hear ya Rick. That's awesome. And I think a lot of people were in the same boat as Rick, that's awesome that he owned up to it.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) Season starts tomorrow, now its real boys!!! :cheers :cheers BOUT f***IN TIME!!!!

QUOTE (joeynach @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) If anything you would want to move Beckham to SS and Alexi to 2B wouldnt you. No. Alexei has the tools to be an elite ss, Becks doesn't.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) I thought he was already a first-ballot lock They've actually already put him in the HoF.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) BTW Kenny's comment about the DH spot possibly going unresolved until the end of the offseason makes me worry. It tells me 1) he has very limited funds, 2) it's not important enough to address immediately, 3) he's planning on waiting around until January to pick through the scraps. Wonderful. Don't take anything Kenny says about potential moves seriously.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) Coco Crisp for CF and lead-off? Then we just need a power hitting DH. Slide Rios over to Rf or LF. His career .331 obp isn't very appealing in the lead off spot.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) Hawk will be CRUSHED!!!! It's funny cause that too was my initial reaction.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) It could be leverage too. Bingo.

This means absolutely nothing. I don't want it to happen but I still wouldn't be surprised at all if Pods comes back.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) he went from in trouble to that arm bar in like .001 seconds. I mean, his hips swiveled just a bit and Wissell was done. and if Wissell didnt severely dislocate that shoulder I am amazed. his whole shoulder blade looked like it was pulled down Well Marcus did say he was going to take Mike's arm home with home and he almost succeeded.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:53 AM) Teahen is a big guy. He can hold down 3b, well enough. Won't be pretty, but he can get the job done. Assuming we get a decent defensive OF (note, not Pods) this is still a net gain. Teahen is an absolute garbage 3b.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) Manny for Konerko + Linebrink + Torres + McCulloch would be pretty nice IMO. We don't save any money, but we do dump Konerko's deal and 3 players I don't ever want to see again. Ya, that'd probably be the best deal of all time. Too bad Kenny would get laughed at.

QUOTE (tommy @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) KENNY just said Teahen plays 3B BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) He's entering his prime so he clearly could break out and be a 20HR guy with a lot of doubles. He's a very good base-runner. I see potential in this deal, but I think its a little risky. Not that I think Getz will ever be a super-star and Fields I could care less about (I wish him nothing but the best of luck elsewhere, but he'll never amount to anything in Chicago so KC is a good place for him). I have to think we get at least a M. You also have to remember we had a serious void from the left side of the plate. Mark should help that void. I wouldn't say the deal itself is risky but having Teahen is the every day rf definitely is. As for the other ideas being thrown around in this thread, would absolutely love to add the O dog as our 2b, I hope Kenny is thinking the same thing. And we need to find a dh with some serious pop.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) The A's also expected a lot of guys to develop power based on how Giambi had developed surprising power for his frame. They had a bit of an issue with their data, it turned out. Well lets just roid Teahen up than.

Happy bday sir!

Coop will fix him?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) Then do you agree with this? My immediate thought upon looking at Teahen's salary was, "how much would it suck if Beltre or Hudson end up signing for about $6M?" Apparently Beltre is a boras client so it doesn't matter anyway. I agree about Hudson though, that'd make me a sad panda.

QUOTE (scenario @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) I say we nix the Jayson/Chris debate before it getz ridiculous. Woah.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) side note: If Getz still hasn't been told about the trade, after the story came out, that's pretty s***ty treatment. Not real happy with that. Ya, that'd be pretty bogus.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) Is that really true? Can someone show us some defensive metrics? I seem to remember Teahan being a solid 3b...my guess is the numbers say he isn't, which is why you have the opinion that you do. Could he really be any worse at 3rd than Gordon? He's a terrible 3b and about an average corner of.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:58 AM) Scott Podsednik returns and you see a rotation of players next year with no everyday DH. That would be bad, real bad.
