Huff made $2.7 million this year, and is about to head into free agency after next year. He has much better numbers than Koskie and a way higher ceiling. He will make much more money than Koskie will. And since he isn't freely available now, we would have to give up a ton of players to get him. Figgins isn't a free agent. We can't sign him. Same with Ryan Freel. To get those guys we have to trade players from an already depleted farm system.

So who would you be "concentrating" on at 3B that no one has heard of?

140 points of improvement in OPS is small? That's news to me.

lmao. You crack me up, really.

Crede .295 OBP .401 SLG .696 OPS 16 HR 55 RBI Koskie .343 OBP .488 SLG .831 OPS 22 HR 59 RBI Hmmm I wonder why people are interested in Koskie.

If these guys are THAT dedicated to MN they will all take massive paycuts to go play for the Twins anyway, so anything like that would be moot. Meanwhile in the real world, these guys play for the name on the paycheck, and they will go out and play that hard for whoever they sign with.

And Afganistan has more oil than.... oops.

Yeah, I thought the duel would at least make the Sept quotes of the month.... Ah well.

Why wouldn't you want guys who play the game right on your team?

Yes Minnnesotasoxfan did... But happy birthday anyway

I have no interest in signing Pavano to a big money FA deal. He has had some OK years, and this is by far his biggest year, which scares me. But for perspective here is Jaret Wright. 2004 is the first year since 1999 he has been over 100 IP. His era's going back starting with 2003 are 7.35, 15.71, 6.52, 4.70, and 6.06. This was the first year he has won more than 3 games since 1999. And finally his BB/9 was over 5 every year since 1999. One good year in one of the best pitchers parks in baseball doesn't erase all of that for me.

No thank you. The guy has had one year in the last 4 or 5 years. He has Braves fluke written all over him.

Not at all. I was just hoping it wasn't true for Anderson's sake.

Bush of course. Kerry would be too busy trying to deciding all the details of what to do... is it right to shoot Bush, where should I shoot him, should I wheel around and shoot at 9, what would Teresa think? etc.... Meanwhile Bush would call in the Air Force and have him drop a MOAB on Kerry. End of dual.

The "official" definition of a recession is two or more quarters of negative growth.

That would be best for me if we can't get a night slot. I leave work at 3:30 so I wouldn't be around for the draft.

That would be because he didn't. That recession happened in mid 90 to 1991. A full year and a half after taking office. According to the BLS the latest recession started in March of 2001 or about 6-7 weeks after taking office, making it about economically impossible for it to be a "Bush" recession.

Looks like NASA took a big hit from Frances, and it might have some effect on the next shuttle launch. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/09/06/nasa.frances.cnn/
