Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) He just said that he wants to add more speed, period. There are only a few players out there I think that would bump Tad from the 2 hole if they landed here. Oh, I thought it was at the top of the order. Thanks for setting me straight, butthead.

Dude, I don't know. These are the kinds of things I'm thinking about. He wants to add speed, so I'm wondering who they are, where they'd play, and how much it would cost.

Either.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Rowand,Marte,Gload,Haigwood? For just one of them, I assume? I just heard Ozzie wants more speed at the top, so I had to think about who's available that would fill that? Somebody plausible, that is...not Furcal. Anyone else out there?

Ozzie has said a few times that he wants to add more speed at the top of the order, right? Well, who's out there to get? Are the Marlins talking about trading Pierre? If so, would they trade both Pierre and Delgado?

Ha, the Yankees even hire big name bench coaches.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Rotoworld reports that the Twins are in talks with the Phillies about Thome. That's an interesting one. I wouldn't exactly know how to react if that happened. I guess it would depend on his health and what the Twins give up.

I can see them going for a 5th year if they're already offering 12.5 a year for 4 years. That's a whole helluva lot of money, especially if you were to include that endorsement money that you were just talking about.

I wonder how much Randa would cost. I mean, if Blum wants to sign with a team on the west coast, perhaps Randa could be had for cheap to back up Crede and whoever is our 1B next year? I dunno...I like Joe Randa.

I just hope that Bobby Valentine gets a managerial job again. I just really like that guy.

Ha, now can we get Aubrey Huff?

QUOTE(bighurt574 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) AJ and Hunter are on Best Damn Sports Show, AJ told Hunter that Rowand should have won it... And then what happened?

I came back from classes to an email from a friend with this exact quote in it. My first reaction was to laugh, then I felt relieved. Matt Lawton...significant?

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) um are you seriously referring to the idea of signing damon? you've got to be kidding. i believe that we have alredy established that damon is a BUM, whereas PK is not. dude, seriously, johnny damon? what are you smoking? What are you talking about?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) Get used to it. This is going to be ESPN's feelgood story of the next 5 years. And they say that a hero can save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait How many times did they play that crap during the game?

That's why I said "harder" division. The AL East will forever be the "hardest" division in baseball, no matter what the facts say.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) How is he second best? Just because his team is in last? Did you know the Packers have outscored their opponents this year, despite their 1-6 record? Despite how truly BAD everything is around Favre this year, he is still doing his thing. Didn't they rape the Niners by like 49 points? That'll help out any team's stats.

His respone to ^ would be that the Yankees and Red Sox played in a "harder" division. You don't even have to ask him to know his response.

PM it to me, too. Pretty please with sugar on top.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) No, it didn't. But it did open the door for posters here to s*** on him when things got rough for him earlier this season. Yeah, who would do such a thing?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) It would be hard to find the article now, it was posted here back early in the season. The gist of the article was that Lee rode Marte basically all of last year about where he was from and his upbringing. I guess Marte was brought up really poor is what the article made it sound like. People close to the team acknowledged that this did go on and since then I lost a lot of respect for Lee. Basically painted him out to be the jackass that he is. That's a pretty s***ty move on Lee's part. And I bet that didn't help Marte with his problems, he seems like he wouldn't be able to take ridicule like that. I also don't know why Carlos would be talking. I've heard some things about him...

What did he say about Marte?

Ichiro will be making $11 million the next few years. I don't think we have that room when we still need to sign some other guys.

Is there a way for a team to talk to another GM that's already under contract to another team, such as Beane or Ricciardi? Some people around here seem to believe they can, but I'm not sure.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) no one could have predicted how the first one ended because the ending made no f***ing sense. That's exactly what I was saying.
