QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Wait, what? You don't plan on trading a guy in Humbers situation. You make the offer blow you away to do it.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) Starting point? You would be crazy not to do it straight up, if the Yankees even offered him for whatever reason. Damned right. I'm thinking of him as a second year pitcher up near the league lead in ERA. Guys who are in their 4th and 5th years making millions get a top prospect in return. For a guy making half a million for this year and next, you gotta pay up.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) My friend is at the game sitting behind Homeplate, and she said she is sitting behind a Yankees scout. It appears he is scouting Phil Humber, and has a bunch of sheets with his name written all over it. Wonder if the Yankees will make any offers. They just showed all of the scouts. Your friend might just have been on TV.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Even if Montero is in the package? Now I doubt Yanks would deal him for Humber given no success in the past for Humber, but just saying what if If the story is accurate about Humber being treated like a second year player in a contract sense, that would be the starting point of what I would ask for.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Me too. And the fact is they're playing better and you watch, Mauer will come off the DL by the time we're there next week. It sounds like he is still having problems.

Felix has got to realize he should just put away the fastball against this team.

I wonder how it feels to have your dad and brother screw you out of draft position?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) I realize that, but Hawk said it was a terrible throw. It was actually very close to being an out at home plate. What a homer! oh wait..

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) The fascinating thing here is that this post completely fails to address the actual problem at hand. It doesn't even attempt a justification or even a hand-wavey excuse. Which is why I am still waiting for someone to justify how these two were going to save the world somehow. Trust me, I am not holding my breath.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) No. It's break time. 20 more rounds to go. Stay tuned to see where we draft Ozney and Laumann's kid! Gotcha. I was wondering why it stopped. Plenty more time for J4L rants.

So is that it for today? 10 rounds?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:59 PM) It was absolutely the right decision. If this was regular season it probably would have been even more games. But I agree, I absolutely hate the bolded part. That's basically saying if Horton was not hurt the penalty wouldn't be as severe, which is totally wrong. I agree. Intent to injure should be worse than causing an injury.
