YASNY

People have various opinions on the value of our prospects. Since we can't afford to pay veterans, I'm more inclined to develope and play our young guys than I am to trade them off.

But Cotts, Rowand, Borchard and Reed are all AAAA players.

You're right. It doesn't mean anything.

Someone thats going to Soxfest, see if you can found out Stewart's status. Please.

What? They haven't announced the trade yet?

It's hard to say what I'd do. It depends on where they moved and if the were replaced like what was mentioned with the Cleveland Browns.

So after all that analysis and typing, you came up with 1. Twins 2. Sox 3. Royals Hmmm. Looking at last years AL Central standings might have been easier.

I know. *sigh*

Typical New York arrogance.

My only problem with Marte being closer, is that he was so damn effective in set up. It's almost a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of thing.

If he is that type of ballplayer, I want him up with the Sox. But, I don't want them to rush him and mess his head up.

That seals the deal. He'll be gone by Soxfest.

Because that's what we DO here.

I never said he'd be great. I'm just wanting a decent #5 starter.

They are probably faxing the trade into the MLB offices as I type this, but I don't think this trade has any chance of happening.

I think we would have had more than 4 wins from our #5 slot last year if Stewart would not have been injured. Besides, aboz, give the kid a break. He's a Kentuckian.

You need to move to Cleveland.

I hope they can keep Yawney in the fold until they decide to make a move. I've heard nothing but good things about him as Norfolk's coach.

You can add Fergie Jenkins to that list. I think Rose will never get past the veterans committee. And that is only fair. Basically, he's going to be judged by a jury of his peers. That would make him 0 for 2.

I think Angelo and Saban had some philosophical differences that couldn't be worked out. Like ... Who's da boss?

Damn. I opened this thread because I thought it was going to be about women in short shorts. Instead, I get soccer.

Two words to answer that Grizzlies question: Jerry West

Josh Stewart?

Yes, this still could end up being very much in our favor. The final outcome of this trade is not determined yet.

Trading Jose's $5 million salary for Rollins $2.4 million at midseason would work, if my math is correct.
