Not much of a suprise really. Carlos Lee will not be dealt, KW thinks he can resign him on a 4 year $20 mill deal. Nice to see em bashin da Twinkies ova the Stewart signing as well.

I prefer the LA deal over the Boston deal. Williamson is a bit too injury prone for my liking and Kim is just a nervous wreck unless we convert him into a starter. Plus we'd hav to resign Nomar on a long term deal and I couldn't see that gettin done, cos I think he wants to go home to California anyways.

BEGOOD now BrandoFan. Don't let me bring out that dictionary on Grammar and Spellin on u.

Who's Mike Neu? Neva heard of him bf. The Florida Marlins traded pitcher Mark Redman to Oakland for reliever Mike Neu on Tuesday night in yet another offseason move by the World Series champions. Redman was 14-9 with a 3.59 ERA last season for the Marlins, then was 0-1 with a 6.50 ERA in four postseason starts. He was one of seven arbitration-eligible players that the Marlins had to offer a contract before Saturday. The Marlins will also receive another player or cash to complete the deal, team spokesman Steve Copses said. Since winning the championship, the Marlins have traded first baseman Derrek Lee and outfielder Juan Encarnacion and parted ways with catcher Ivan Rodriguez and closer Ugueth Urbina. Neu had one save and a 3.64 ERA in 32 relief appearances last season for Oakland. He played college baseball for the University of Miami, earning three saves while helping the Hurricanes to the 1999 College World Series title. The Athletics traded starter Ted Lilly to Toronto earlier in the offseason.

Looks like he got fined. On SportsCenter he said fans deserved to hav fun or sumthin like that? While he has yet to receive official notification from the league, Saints' WR Joe Horn has been fined $30,000 by the NFL, a league source has told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The fine stems from the now-infamous post-touchdown celebration stunt in the second quarter of New Orleans' Sunday night game against the Giants. After scoring his second of four touchdowns in the game, Horn grabbed a cell phone from underneath the padding around the bottom of the goal post and pretended to make a call. The fine was confirmed for ESPN.com by agent Ralph Vitolo and one league source. Horn is expected to be apprised of the fine in writing on Wednesday, the day on which NFL officials typically notify players of any punitive actions. The fine represents about three-quarters of one game check, based on Horn's base salary of $700,000 for the 2003 season. But the punishment, according to Vitolo, could have been significantly harsher, with the league considering at one point a suspension of one or two games. "From what Joe was told (by Saints officials), the league wanted to come down harder on him, and there was a potential suspension on the table," Vitolo said. "But even the fine, as far as Joe is concerned, is exorbitant. I just told him that, when he got the paperwork, to send it on to me. We'll appeal and see if we can get the thing reduced. I mean, there was nothing malicious about it, right?" "Fining him is one thing, but to me that's very excessive. This is not a murder case," Vitolo said. The celebration, in which Saints wide receiver Michael Lewis pulled the cell phone from underneath the padding surrounding the goal post and handed it to Horn, drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. It also drew criticism from nearly every quarter of the NFL, including some players, and league officials acknowledged on Sunday night that Horn would face a penalty. Head coach Jim Haslett said the team would not punish Horn, but that he was disappointed in the receiver's "selfish" act. Lewis is expected to be fined $5,000. The incident was Horn's second "excessive celebration" reprimand of the season. The league warned players last season, after San Francisco wide receiver Terrell Owens pulled a Sharpie from his sock and autographed a football following a touchdown catch, that they would be subject to fines for bringing foreign objects onto the playing field. There is a likelihood that if Horn violated the guidelines again the sanctions will be increased. League officials almost certainly will apprise the eight-year veteran that the next incident will merit a suspension.

Mark Buerhle would be the last guy I would trade on this team. He's untradeable in my opinion.

If they do trade Cirillo for Cedeno, there's sumthin like a $7 million diff. in salaries, both contracts r for 2 years, so the Mets may not hav enough money left to get Koch, hence why they want the White Sox to balance out the salaries in the Koch for Weathers deal.

That's a weird colour for a grammar book.

Best of luck to him, hope he passes although he's got plenty of incentives to if he's gettin a steak dinner out of it.
