I too find it hilarious that Zoom was nominated. The dude can't even hold a Crayola. Seriously.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 03:51 PM) 2003 Florida Marlins come to mind. They didn't have a slugger in their line-up, but more well rounded players than anything else (and great starting pitching). Pierre and Castillo were really fun to watch that season. Derrek Lee and Mike Lowell both jacked 30+ homers that year...

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) GREAT news. I was losing sleep worrying about your fantasy team... For a Sleepy person such as yourself I can see how that would be of concern.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) Unless of course Abreu steals bases like he did last year then he's more of a detriment than an asset. Wait, 66% is bad?

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) Paul is listed as day to day with a mild groin strain HOORAY!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) Hey why don't we just use rotoworld's suggestion and put CQ in center... haha I hate when people who have no idea what they are talking about start suggesting things like that...

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) That's what I assumed. I was wondering if they bothered to actually call someone. The fact that this hasn't been picked up by a major sports outlet tells me there is nothing to it. It was reported on Sportscenter, does that count?

Bobby Abreu at $8 million is a steal, btw.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) Oh, by the way, casting one "Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A." as the voice of the President in the new Monsters vs. Aliens movie? Now that's casting with Balls. And Jack Bauer as the military adviser? I might have to watch that just for the voices. Will Arnett is the voice of one of the monsters. That's all I needed to know I'd be seeing it.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) Dunn > Thome Wow, way to go out on a limb comparing a 29 year old to a 38 year old.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) And why do you have the AL MVP hitting 5th? We got Pedroia?

I'd love a top of the lineup of Figgins and Abreu.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) abreu and figgins sounds great, but dye for figgins straight up sounds like absolute garbage. Are there any pitchers were possibly looking at? Post Script...Whether or not we get him, I hope this be the last time we talk about trading for chone figgins, amen. Honestly, it does, but so did Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik. Sometimes you downgrade in value to upgrade your lineup. CF Figgins RF Abreu LF Quentin DH Thome 1B Konerko SS Ramirez 3B Fields C Pierzynski 2B Whomever wins the job That's a very good lineup.

I'd personally like to see a 2 year, $16 mill deal. When Thome's gone next year, you have DH flexibility.

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 08:43 AM) I think it's an Insider article, but it's also here: Daily News Bottom of the page. He is correct, it was Insider... and massive deduction (and reading the short entry) says its from the New York Daily News.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 08:35 AM) That is exactly what I was thinking... Or are we looking at a 4 players for 3 positions scenario (Thome, Dye, CQ, Abreu for RF, LF, and DH.)? Too much money and talent in those 4 players to do that.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 08:34 AM) yeah this is very interesting....abreu would be a great #2 hitter IMO...someone would have to be moved though...maybe this is an old report that has just surfaced now, or maybe KW has a trade for dye on the table Yeah, I really don't see Quentin, Abreu, Dye, or Thome going to CF...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) Angelo thrives in the second round and on. It's usually where he does very, very well. (though the past couple seasons there have been more misses than hit) Other than Olsen (which was an obvious pick) and of course Urlacher, etc.. our first round picks are usually... ill be nice... not good/or bust. Tommy Harris says hi.

Angelo has to take the highest talent WR in the first round. We can't ignore this position any longer or continue to try to survive on other retreads. Hester needs to be returned to his primary duties of kick and punt returns.

I believe the Bears' biggest need is to solve the QB situation. Now onto something that will actually happen. Angelo has to take the highest talent WR in the first round. We can't ignore this position any longer or continue to try to survive on other retreads. Hester needs to be returned to his primary duties of kick and punt returns. This team is going to crash hard and soon.

Rough coupla days for the ol' fantasy team... Bynum goes down and now CP3 is going to have an MRI. Not good.

Agreed on the Kitty Halftime Show.

Hmm, so which was worse? Janet's boob or Springsteen's balls? Anyone who still had their 3D glasses on had his balls in their lap!
