Jim is opening 2005 as the #1 starter for a deep Birmingham Barons team. He pitched their opener only giving up a 3 run HR over his first start.

Jeff is opening 2005 as the closer at AAA Charlotte for his first full season with the Knights.

Actually I am thinking a sign and trade deal might be perfect. They obviously have a great defensive front court, now they need a guard who can defend, and someone who can score from the front court. Actually the sign and trade involved Abdur Rahim might work.

or

I know this is kind of a wild thought, but the Bulls are 5-1 without the guy going down the playoff stretch. Their only loss was to the top team in the East Miami. Could Eddy's money be better spent on a couple of players, such as a scoring PF and a defensive SG?

He looks just like Joe Crede

Wow, I wonder how effective that thing would be in the weather conditions such as wind?

All of that is nice and all, but they still don't test for Human Growth Hormone, so Balco could STILL be juicing up Barry and company, and we would not know it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) I haven't been on the past couple days, but damn does this post essentially hit it on the head. Lighten the hell up. If you really want to think about it, we should still be 2-1...we really did sort of win a game we had no buisness winning on Wednesday. OH NOS!1!!!!111!!!! WE LOSTED 1 GAME! If you are going to go putting blame around on everybody, why not put some on the offense too for not scoring more runs? Put some blame on Politte too because from what I remember, he let a run cross the plate when a GIDP would have ended the inning. Putting blame on others is ridiculous. So Shingo f'ed up once. We lost 1 game. It is still April, and there are still 6 months in the season. I know that is just a variation of the 'it's still early' excuse, but it is true. There is no need to even look at standings until like June, and even then it is really early. Good point, everyone is pointing fingers at Shingo, Vizcaino, and or Ozzie, but don't forget the offense went scoreless for 7 straight innings.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) Aren't the Braves paying a hefty contract to Mike Hampton as well?? Hampton's payroll figure is included with the Braves, even though the Rockies and Marlins are paying a chunk of it. (which doesn't show in the totals)

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) http://www.forbes.com/lists/results.jhtml?...ry&passKeyword= Excellent timing for that. The Sox payroll went up $10 million for 2005, while making an $8 million profit for 2004. Add in the $2 million the Yankees are sending us for Jose Contreras and once again, the Sox are rolling all of their profits into the payroll, just like clockwork.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Not yet but he better start soon, I didnt draft him early in fantasy for nothing The sacks are packed with Cubs Mike Maddox out to the mound to settle down Capuano Well I hope Carrie Woods settles down. Maybe Moisest will homer instead.

Has Sammy homered yet?

I am alone if I think he will do nothing in the pros?

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) My point is that managers sometimes paint themselves into a corner by going by the modern "book". I say the hell with the book. My first inclination is to do what gives the team the best chance to win whether or not it's by the book kosher. Yes I know, if Shingo goes one, two, three we aren't having this cyber conversation. And that is a good explanation of your thinking process. The original thought was so simpified it was pointless in real life.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Since when has Crede ever hit (or even danced with) .290 in his career thus far? That was also before a very clear 3 year decline in his numbers. Also I don't think Beltre was a 2 time minor league MVP at AA and AAA. Add those two together, and I don't think it is unreasonable not to expect .334 48 HR 121 RBI from a guy who had never hit over .290 23Hr 85 RBI in ANY year, in any one category. Would anyone have ever guessed the Beltre, after being in the majors longer than Crede, would ever approach those numbers? Giving up on him right now is too soon. It also makes no sense to bench Crede for a guy with 111 career at bats over a 5 year span because he had a hot spring. Crede might lose his job to Fields in a year or two, but isn't going to be to Ozuna right now.
