QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 01:26 PM) Who is Cardinals top pitching prosepect and how can we arrange a trade that sends Carlos, and Buehrle to the Cards for Rasmus and studs? Unless things remarkably changed this season...BA had the Cardinals ranked as the 29th out of 30 systems coming into this season. Basically, the Cardinals system makes the Sox's system look solid.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) I totally disagree. First, the Cards GM is on record saying he isn't going anywhere. That could be a smokescreen, but this isn't a guy who has a contract that is going to scare anyone away. There's 29 other teams that would love to have him. The Cards may trade him, something without any issues they probably wouldn't even consider, but his value isn't depressed. You aren't going to get a bargain rate for him. I don't think there is any way he's going to be with that team in the spring. LaRussa pretty much made that clear. I could be wrong, but I'll be stunned.

Remember how Andrew Breitbart totally destroyed his reputation with that heavily edited video of Shirley Sherrod that got her fired slightly before she was re-offered a job, and how we all agreed that Breitbart was a total embarrassment and the only reason for any news organization to ever hire him again is if they wanted to look like a complete bunch of useless right-wing idiots who care nothing about accuracy and everything about promoting the Republican agenda?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 01:03 PM) Cowley tweeter earlier how the story about the potential trade Ozzie/Stanton was just another example of why the Sun Times was a superior sports section. Of course, the Marlins never considered it, if it were even brought up to them, but why let facts get in the way of a good story. I seemed to recall Cowley ripping a Soxtalk report on a potential 3 way trade last year involving Paulie and Adrian Gonzalez. Now he's reporting a potential Quentin/Rasmus trade? I am one who feels Quentin has a lot more value than most, but as the big piece for Rasmus? Never. Honestly...the Cardinals with Rasmus are in a similar boat with Quentin...because everyone knows the Cardinals want to get rid of Rasmus, so that kind of is going to depress his value a bit.

If I did the math right and the guy wasn't lying when he said "14 million" (and he didn't mean 10^14), that jump was a similar energy release to a magnitude 2.5 quake.

I really want to know the magnitude of this.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 29, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) I agree. if you currently hold one office and want to run for another, I think you should have to resign, since you are not really doing your job very well or to the best of your abilities if you are always out campaigning. I have no prima face problem with a person campaigning for another job while they still hold the first. A lot of elected positions structure their workloads around campaigns (all of Congress, for example). The real downside of your plan would be...hypothetically imagine that I'm qualified for a higher position, but I'm currently employed and have a family. I could go for the higher position, but if there's no guarantee I'd win my election and I was forced to resign to run, I'd probably stay gainfully employed. You'd therefore dramatically limit the pool of interested and qualified applicants. The whole conflict of interest in this case, just like almost every other one, comes from the fundraising.

Yeah, so I'll be watching the whole thing. I thought about going, but I had to pick my weekend trips in October, and I had the Smokies planned before they even announced this rally.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) A team comes not only asking about him, but supposedly offering a huge top prospect and you think that reflects BADLY on him? No disrespect, but you got things really backwards here. Yeah. This would mean that Ozzie Guillen falls in the top 5 of Baseball America's prospect list.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 11:48 AM) I wouldn't be against checking into Berkman as a DH platoon partner for Quentin, if the price is right of course. Depends on the physical.
