When I finally get my ass to the Cell one day, I'll definitely be meeting sum1. Hopefully they can buy me a beer too!

I'm guessin this will probably hav a negative effect on our Aussie Dollar.

I wouldn't say that, they get bullpen help, they could suprise.

Hope u hav a good 1! Happy B-Day!

I can't see us investing more than $25 million a season for 3 starting pitchers unless we get an increase in payroll. And u know JR don't like signin starters long term either.

From the Arizona Republic,

I can't see us resignin both Loaiza AND Garcia, so I think Freddy stays on a 4 year deal around 35 million. Loaiza will sign with someone like Texas on a 2 year deal of about $7 to $8 million with an option year. Valentin might or might not come back depending if KW thinks Juan Uribe is ready to take over the SS job full time. We'll definitely hav offseason spending money of around $10 to $15 million I'd think, and we should go afta bullpen help, a center fielder and a cheaper starter that we can plug into the back end of the rotation.

Yet another piece in the offseason puzzle. We definitely won't keep one of Garcia, Valentin, Maggs and Loaiza. I'm guessin we'll prob lose 2 of em actually.

I found this interesting,

Best so far is 65 metres.

Another game I found, see how far you can walk the drunk. Walk the Drunk

Found this on Schneider, He batted .230 in April, .253 in May, .293 in June ... See a trend here?

He would have been in San Diego if the Pirates were willin to absorb about $5 mill more of his salary, as part of the Brian Giles. There are a lot of catcher options available, KW will get 1 I'm sure, if we need 1. Let's see how Burke, and Davis hit for about 2 weeks 1st.

It all depends on how Jones handles the Cell. He could hit anywhere from .230 to .290, and that will determine whether or not he'd be a sucess at the Cell. Otherwise we'd hav a case of a Preston Wilson in Florida, a guy who hit for a lot of power, but K'd a lot and could hit for a good average, eventually he was traded to the Rockies.

It's a 2 team race, although the Tribe believe they can steal the division with the signin of Aaron Boone to a 2 year deal. They could go afta sum1 like Urbina, but I know Shapiro doesn't want to giv up his prospects. Realistically if Maggs and Freddy leave next year, we've got some big holes to fill, and we might as well rebuild. Invest in young position players, give Borchard the RF spot, and sign a young starter or 2. We could hav a situation where we'll hav lots of early draft picks in the draft again.

I hope he enjoyed his time at US Cell with you there Vince, and of course the beers at the ballpark and in Chicago.

Great combo there. Props to Bull and Baj on the performance.

He's pissed, very, very pissed.

Welcome to SoxTalk!

After missing out on Freddy Garcia, George Steinbrenner will do something big. Randy Johnson big.

We are paying the rest of Garcia's salary this season, $3,700,000 I believe. Seattle is paying the rest of Ben Davis' contract which is $700,000 and finishes this season as well.

If it comes out here, absolutely. I saw a lil preview on the TV, with George Dubya teeing off on the golf course.

Probably because the Yankees were offerin Dioner Navarro and 1 one of their best other prospects for a possible Garcia deal. We didn't include Olivo, there's no deal.
