Seriously? Santana for Freddy? Where the hell do I sign? I would throw in a Fields as well to get Figgins if necessary, if we could somehow get Santana and Figgins for Freddy and prospect, just wow. Not to mention because Santana has actually proven himself to be a solid starter, we could go ahead and trade another one of our starters for a nice package of young pitching prospects, all of the sudden we have some pretty nice young pitching with Santana, Brandon and whatever package we could land for a Vaz/Contreras/Buehrle. This scenario just got me all giddy

Yuck. I'll keep Juan thank you very much.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) Garland shouldnt be going anywhere as we is one of the most consistently good pitcher in the AL the last 2 years. Levine is speculating, as usual. He was good in 05. Last season he was as inconsistant as they come. I've let my position be well known here, if we can't trade Freddy the next starter I'd like to trade is JG. He's really had one above average year in his whole career and he's probably our starter with the most value. We do match up pretty well with Texas and this just might be the team we get something done with.

Twas a long day but should be a very profitable one as well.

Haven't had a chance to read through this thread but if the deal is right I have absolutely 0 problem with trading Garland.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 01:26 AM) Row, Could you give me ratings on some Boston College players? Mainly the returning players: Jared Dudley, Sean Marshall, Sean Williams, Tyrese Rice, Marquez Haynes, John Oates, Akida McClain. I'm sitting at the computer lab right now and I have a long day ahead of me(yay ps3's) but when I get back I'll post 'em.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was another case where Coop thought there was something with David that he could fix and let Kenny know, ala Thornton. This is definitely a wait and see deal but I trust Kenny's judgement even though initially I'm not a huge fan of this deal.

If anyone thinks Neal can start, they're severely mistaken.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) According to my source, this Vasquez guy isn't a prospect at all. The same source that said Tracey would never pitch for the Sox again before he got called up? I'm just playin wit ya, but his number do seem to indicate otherwise, though I like to see pitchers pitch before I make any choices and I have not seen him pitch before.

I really wanted to keep Neal so this trade irks me a bit. That being said, we got two good arms in exchange for one. And if Kenny's trade history is an indication then it wouldn't shock me to see one of these guys become a pretty solid reliever for us next season. Wait and see is the best approach here, though I'm sad to see Neal go as I still think he's a good reliever and will dominate the National League.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Winthrop is a heck of a team. They are the unanimous pick for their conference and should be in the tourney with possibly a 12-13 seed. They have a couple of scorers that can go off in any game and a couple of legit big men. I was expecting a close game and wouldn't have been completely suprised with a loss, they are a very dangerous team. But man Tyler is something else. Yeup, Winthrop has one hell of a team. I agree, expect them to be in the tourny at around a 12 or 13. I'm sorry but as for Kansas, lol.

I'm interested tonight to see how close Winthrop can play with the Tar Heels.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 09:30 AM) If we turn around and trade Anderson for an average prospect, that makes the Vazquez for Young trade turn from horrible to one of the worst in the franchise's history. It's honestly not a bad trade at all yet. We have to see what one of our starters turns into but the Vaz deal is what right now is allowing us to sit pretty this offseason. We have to wait and see what we net but that deal could turn out to be very good.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) that's cause drunk driving isn't a rating on the game. Well who would be better in that category: Mcbride or Tatum?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 03:19 PM) I'm probably the person on here who has some of the most reasonable expectations when it comes to BA,\ Doesn't everyone feel that way about their own expectations?

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) Gracias De nada.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) What about the Marquette trio? And Lazar Hayward? Dom is an 83, Mcneal is an 81 and Matthews is a 77. And Hayward is a 70. Dom is one of the better rated pg's in the whole game. The ratings overall are pretty low as the best players in the game are only 92's(Noah, Big Baby and Fazekas). QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Hey man, can I get some ratings for Al Thorton (12), Toney Douglas (23), Jason Rich (25), and Isiah Swann (3)? Thorton is an 84, Douglas is an 80, Rich is a 72 and Swann is a 77.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) this will pretty much be my thanksgiving break. I'm pumped. Am I going to have to kick your ass in this game as well? PS Young and Tatum are rated better than every Illini player in the game.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) I haven't seen a full commercial yet because I have to vomit everytime Redick is on the TV.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) Sign Pierre-keep BA as 4th OF and late inning defense You want to sign Pierre for 10 mill a year?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) Well I think the Rangers hitting coach had a much larger effect on him than Michael Young and the Cubs have a pretty generous hitting park as well. And if he can remain his mechanics from last season he should be fine. I disagree with this big time. Derosa basically mimicked every move of Young's at the plate, Michael had a huge effect on hm.

My step brother has a small army going to get him like 8 of these thursday night. He's just selling them as well, and he's going to cut me in on some of the profit, yay me.

Well during the Gonzaga game I got to hear my very first OH FENSE of the year, that was nice.

Bumpity bump. Game comes out on Monday and I will be getting it on Monday. I honestly can not wait as I absolutely love this franchise. I actually just downloaded all the player rankings so if anyone wants to know any just ask. This is the link I got 'em from http://2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98101 . Problem is that you have to be registered with the other forum to download. Anyone else excited for this game or am I the only one ?
