BBQ and Deli style for me

Balta won something finally!

It was also interesting to me that the one team Pauly has been repeatedly connected to, Arizona, Padilla quickly eliminated.

Zip, Zilch, and nada.

Xanadu was one of Tex's favorite albums of the 70's

Very interesting observation if you ask me, which you didn't.

OH time to Flaxx all kinds of blends together after a while.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) Escobar, Viciedo, and Jordan Danks isn't anywhere close to enough for Adrian Gonzalez. Danks is absolutely worthless right now. You would have to include Mitchell for them to even think about it. If you trade Jenks before you non-tender him, you're going to get a AAAA player anyways...there's no real harm or gain to doing it, aside from letting someone else have his arbitration rights. Besides, I doubt anyone is going to want to even give up that for a guy who was bad last year and is going to cost $9-10 million. They'll just wait until he is non-tendered. Quentin has extremely little value. Perhaps Cleveland would look to move Sizemore this year, but I don't think they want to move a player of that caliber within the division. Beyond that, Sizemore is talented enough that the Sox would have to include more than just Quentin. I don't think you can just "sign Crawford," considering he's probably going to end up getting anywhere between $15-20 mill a year over 5-7 years. The Sox simply don't have that kind of money. They also don't have the $6-10 mill beyond that to sign Manny or Vlad. You are talking about adding like $40 million in payroll at the very minimum, and up to $60 million. That's insanity. I don't know. With their respective injury histories and salaries, Sizemore and Quentin might be closer in value than first glance.

Gosh, LIfe in the Fast lane was an excellent Eagles song

Don't make me puke.

Why?

Understanding the 70's is nearly impossible for much of this board considering it is ancient history to them.

Out of my league

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 07:41 AM) The answer to this is clearly a $40 billion invisible, non-functioning fence. Seriously guys...what do you think the answer there is? If everyone coming across that border was doing so legally, then the couple hundred people you really, really want to catch would be the ones who stand out, by doing so through other means. That's a problem created because we want to pretend that enforcement-only is a realistic policy.

Meh, ancient history doesn't count.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 07:31 AM) What does that have to do with defense? The poster was concerned about the arm in CF. There have been a lot of CF's great with the glove with zero arm through the years. I pointed out Lance Johnson, as he was a White Sox. I could point out Aaron Rowand who had a better arm, but he wasn't very accurate and looked like he was hunting for rattlesnakes often and his throws went straight into the ground. How did the Sox win games in 1990 before Frank Thomas arrived with Lance Johnson in CF and Ivan Calderon their big bat? Your desire for a smart ass comment after almost everything I post I actually enjoy. I think that it is funny you want to be able to take ridiculous obviously argumentative positions and then cry about it when you get called on it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 07:34 AM) Basically, if you have the best hitter in the game and one of the best pitchers in the game, it's going to make up for deficiencies in other aspects of the game. Hence...your flaw is that you're judging the team only by wins and saying "Oh, the negative in the OF didn't matter, they won games." Exactly. A Hall of Famer makes up for a lot of mistakes in the field.
