max power

I don't think they can afford fukodome and rowand, even if they get rid of crede and uribe.

If the yankees want another closer why don't they just sign one?

QUOTE(Felix @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) Wait, are you really being serious? lol, I can never tell. Its hard to imagine that a person that negative actually exists.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) where did I? Please show me this. I want to see where I said "he's signed, announcement tomorrow," or anything like that. I want to see this. I want to see where I said anything more than I was speculating. I want to see where I said that this was fact and that I have sources. I want to see this. I said from the beginning to believe what you want to believe. I said from the beginning that I had no source. I said from the beginning that I believe it will be announced on Monday if not sooner. I will tell you something - stop placing words in my mouth. If you have a problem looking at a post on a message board and determining if it is fact, fiction, or opinion, then either ask or get help. I will post how I want to post - not how it is best for you. LOL spasms? Show me where I did this? Show me where I freaked out on the internet? Show me. You can't can you? edit: no offense, just struck me as hilarious

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 02:25 AM) The 6-foot-6, 210-pound sinkerball specialist, who also mixes a changeup with his fastball, has a 92-81 record and 4.41 ERA in six-plus seasons. He has reached 10 wins, 30 starts and 200 innings in each of the last four seasons. Wow. 10 wins? Thats amazing! Tell me more!

Rotoworld has us basically giving crede away for trash. Erick Threets/Trevor Plouffe-Dear God what is wrong with your names? Edgar Martinez- I can't tell if this guy is a Pitcher or a Catcher. (lol) I'm not expecting much at this point.

Though I bet uribe ate like 4 lbs of bacon when he heard the news.

What should a sub make? Cintron made like 2 million. What's another 2 in the grand scheme of things? And who plays short those 7 games cabrera doesn't? I don't really care if they trade him. Its not my money and if we aren't going to get something back, I'd rather keep him in case something freaky like an injury happens.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) 1. Jerry Owens 2. Orlando Cabrera 3. Jim Thome 4. Paul Konerko 5. Jermaine Dye 6. Josh Fields 7. OF 8. AJ Pierzynski 9. Danny Richar Where would tori hunter bat in that lineup if they signed him?

Isn't danks exactly what you described? Good arm, low value right now? So you just throw someone else in there because he sucked on another team, not ours?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 18, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) Why on earth would you pay $7.5M a year for Juan Pierre, when you can get the same OBP or better (Pierre is around .330 the last 3 seasons), same lack of power, same defense (maybe better) and same speed (and a better SB%) from Jerry Owens for $400k a year? Makes zero sense. If its Pierre they want, stick with Owens, and save the extra $7M to spend on some sort of useful player or differential. EDIT: Make that $8 to $10M a year, I just saw his contract details. Waste of money. You can't know with any certainty that owens will do that. Its not a good enough reason to make the trade, but its a good enough reason to find a better option.

Its in March, at UFC 82. It will be a while.

California allowed a four man, all in one night, MW tournament on friday. So they could do a PRIDE like 8 or 18 man tournament ending in an all in one night 4 in california. The UFC on saturday was pretty boring. Not much to say there. As to the person who said Anderson Silva is the best MW, we are going to find out if that's true in February or March, when Dan Henderson fights him. I've got hendo in that fight.

If borass doesn't force his people to sign some kind of exclusive agency agreement at this point of his career, he is a total dumbass and doesn't deserve to be paid.

I'd rather have colon cancer than scott podsednik.

I think he has more potential than "halfway decent."

QUOTE(beck72 @ Nov 18, 2007 -> 05:33 AM) Guys who can hit .290+ in the majors don't grow on trees. If anything, Pierre is a healthier version of Pods. All in all that's not too bad. The question is the money. If you pay him $5 mill, that's a lot different than his current deal which does blow. Yeah no kidding. A lot of people liked scott in '05 but look down on pierre. I think its because Pierre is over paid. Anyway, Pierre could almost bring that '05 line with his career avg. Pierre also has better range in the field. Both have noodle arms.

QUOTE(PAUL KONERKO 14 @ Nov 16, 2007 -> 11:48 PM) Agreed, we need a 2B to platoon with Richar. We've got ozuna. If we are going to get anyone it should be a lefty/switch hitter who can platoon/compete with uribe and play a decent SS. A cintron replacement who could play 2nd as well. I don't think that person exists in free agency though.

They should do the same thing they did at SS and sign like 3 17 year old international catchers if nothing else. Edit: though its unlikely they'd be ready in 2010. Damn, 2010 is coming fast. Getting old sucks ass.

QUOTE(palehose23 @ Nov 17, 2007 -> 03:50 PM) 1. Figgins-2b 2. Rowand-cf 3. Thome-dh 4. Konerko-1b 5. Dye-rf 6. Fields-3b 7. Pierzynsk-c 8. Uribe-ss 9. Crisp-lf Buerhle, Vazquez, Contreras, Danks, Broadway Garland traded to LAA for Figgins and Prospects Hmmmm, I'd almost rather have richar than crisp(effectively, I know they don't play the same position) depending on who we have to give up for crisp. You save about 4 mil IIRC too.

Bye bye jon.

I agree, steroids are treated differently because of some social stigma. To me Bonds is no worse than greg maddux is for licking his hand up and down in disgusting fashion or any other cheater.

Will tori hunter be an all star caliber CF in 4 years?

Do you ever post at the bears site anymore dave?

It doesn't need to be considered. He is a first ballot HOFer, easily.
