If I don't at least get nominated for something I'll be so pissed off that I will leave this site forever.
And before anyone can say it, no that is not a promise assholes
I just finished Reading Moneyball by Michael Lewis and May the best team win, baseball economics and public policy by Andrew Zimbalist. Both were somewhat interesting and I was wondering if anyone could recomend any others that are good.
I'm kinda bored so I'll add to my own crazy idea. After this deal is done we can add Palmeiro and an outfileder like Reggie Sanders.
Lineup
Harris 2b
Rowand/Reed cf
Thomas 1b/dh
Palmeiro 1b/dh
Lee lf
Sanders rf
Crede 3b
Olivo/ Alomar c
Izturis ss
Starters
Brown
MB
Loizia
Perez
Garland
Ok I'll quit dreaming now.
Lets just make one big ass blockbuster trade here. Maggs, Konerko, Valentin, Borchard and Rauch plus one prospect for Brown, Perez, Izturis, Mota and a prospect.
I figured I should at least come up with one crazy idea this off season.
The same scenerio happend to a few other teams that year if I recall corectly and I also seem to recall reading that it happend alot before then but the agents didn't try to take advantage of it.
