Current Roster-2009 Potential Career Milestones
QUOTE (RME JICO @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Other Thome HR milestones: 8 HR's away from passing Mike Schmidt (13th all-time) 23 HR's away from passing Reggie Jackson (12th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him) 29 HR's away from passing Rafael Palmeiro (11th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him) 33 HR's away from passing Harmon Killebrew (10th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him) He can definitely get to all of those milestones.

Quantum Of Solace was enjoyable. I'm not a Bond fan, but the movie kept me interested throughout. What's more interesting to me were some of the previews. There's a movie coming out called 2012, which is about the end of the world theory. It'll probably be the same as every other movie in that genre, but they always interest me. And I really want to see Valkyrie. That's the one about the assassination plot against Hitler by German army officers. Those two previews caused me to do a considerable amount of Wikipedia research.

Swish Traded to the Yankees
QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 01:07 PM) Missed the "sports" part. Yeah I wouldn't say that, but in baseball? He could be. Just off the top of my head, Gillick is the one who made the Floyd deal. Kenny hasn't had a blunder like that yet. Jocketty is possible. Stoneman? What about that GMJ contract? That was one of the worst FA deals over the last 3-4 years, possibly more. A career 4th OF coming off a steriod-aided career year in the best hitting park in baseball, and he gets that kind of security? Everybody knew that was a horrible deal. The only recent deals off the top of my head that I can think of that were as bad or worse are Pierre, Alfonso Soriano, and Barry Zito. Kenny has always been pretty smart with Jerry's money. His biggest screw-up was probably Contreras, but Contreras pitched well in '06 and the first half of '08, and could come back mid-season '09. Then his deal is up. Plus if he's healthy it's a below-market contract. Edit: Jason Schmidt's contract was another one. Still, GMJ's deal is right up there near the top. Billy Beane is pretty darn good for running a small market team. I'd put him up there as well. Agreed completely with the bold part. I was also going to include Beane, but I didn't feel like dealing with the hundreds of posters who just simply hate the man. Like I said, it was all off the top of my head. I'd probably say KW is in or near the top three in baseball, but definitely not sports.

Swish Traded to the Yankees
QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) Who would you say is far and away better than him then? In baseball alone, I'd have to say Epstein (as much as I hate to admit it), Gillick, and Schuerholz. I guess Schuerholz no longer counts, but then arguments can easily be made for Jocketty and Stoneman. That's just off the top of my head, and that's just in baseball. To say he's a top 3 GM in sports is quite a stretch and very Hawk Harrelson-esque.

Swish Traded to the Yankees
QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 10:23 AM) In my baseball world I trust KW with any moves he makes.Hell, I hated the Swisher trade when we brought him but I still trusted that KW judgement was better than mine.Even though that didnt work out KW IMO is in the top 3 of GM's in all of sports so I expect that one maybe two of these guys he brought over from the Yanks are going to produce well for us and make us forget about Swish,Sweeney,Gio,DLS and that whole situation. No way. I like him and all, but no way.

Williams Shopping Jermaine
QUOTE (BearSox @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 11:18 PM) While, he must not have had that solid plus-plus slider in the playoffs. His whole approach is bad anyway. He has a delivery that would be deceitful to lefties, yet his slider is more effective vs. righties down and in. Also, his fastball had some good zip, but didn't have much movement. I'll tell you guys now, Price isn't going to be a stud starter but rather a solid middle of the rotation guy. Ah, so I should believe you over everyone else I've ever heard comment on the guy. You've proven yourself in the past, so I'm on board!

Current Roster-2009 Potential Career Milestones
I appreciate the time and effort you put into figuring this out, but is 125 actually a milestone number in any regard? I mean, milestones usually go in increments of 50.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 11:42 AM) Yeah, I've heard some bad things about that one, which is surprising, given the fact that Eastwood was in the business of only making Best Picture contenders. I bet it is still nominated for Best Picture. As I said before, the Academy loves anything to which Eastwood is connected. He could film himself taking a crap for 3 hours, and you'd better believe it'd be up for Best Picture and Best Actor.

Bartolo Colon
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:10 AM) I fully expect either Colon or Garcia to end up as a member of the Sox by the time pitchers and catchers report, so, no, I see nothing wrong with posting this, and no, I would have no problem with Colon as the #5 in the rotation at the beginning of the season. Don't the Tigers have control of Garcia for next year? I could swear the contract he signed with them last year was for two years.

Bartolo Colon
QUOTE (TCQ @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 02:48 AM) Im not sure this is the best move as he is a twinkie and half away from seriously challenging Uribe to a nathans hot dog eating competion, but in a roto article he is predicted as ended up with the suck. I know not a lot of people dont want him but do u think KW might do it for a short term incentive full contract. Link What are you saying there?

Lou Pinella NL MOY
QUOTE (Texsox @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) The crazy thing is all three of them are basically one losing season away from being idiots and fans wanting their heads. Do you mean before the beginning of 2008, or right now? If you mean now, I understand you're making a joke, but Manuel will have a buffer of at least a year before being hated by Philadelphia fans. Torre has a few years, but Piniella will have a lot of heat if he doesn't win it next year.

Lou Pinella NL MOY
I think it could've easily gone to Piniella, Manuel, or Torre. I wouldn't have complained with any of those three winning. I'm sure Manuel doesn't give a rat's ass, though. And I'm also sure that this award is little consolation for Piniella.
