  1. Scott would only be picked up to play LF. I am on board with trying to buy low on Scott and Burke.
  2. I'm sure Lastings is a jerk, as young players with star potential do not get dealt. I'm just saying, why give him away? Again, 2 decent players, but I would have thought he'd be worth a great deal more...Beane has been known to be interested in him for ages, and they have SPing to trade, supposedly.
  3. That is a heckuva signing. OBP rules.
  4. Bacon had the only cure I know works. Other than that, hydration and pain relievers make sense, as does having a full belly.
  5. Estrada will be starting 110 games for someone next year, barring injury. There are not 30 better than him, probably not 15-20. That said, he might have to take less than he would have got in arby, but he can also choose his team to play for before his walk year. Heck, he might have a few teams bidding for him now, but there are only a handful of teams looking for a catcher at this late date.
  6. I think the Mets should have gotten more myself. Two solid, yet far from star players for a top prospect who is still extremely young doesn't impress me much.
  7. I want to believe the coach, but I am unsure of Pogo's apparent disgust at the mere suggestion it was something else.
  8. Riske has about a dozen teams after him, and Herges has 2-3. They might still pursue Riske even if they get Herges, but I'd be all over Matt as well. I like LaTroy Hawkins for depth purposes as well.
  9. Glad I could help BC, and, don't forget, Ramblings is drug free! Patrick, he's never been a strikeout guy, more of a sinker/slider type. I'm the first to say 38 is mighty old, because I'm 38. That said, his "type" usually ages well, and we're not talking $10M here, I'd guess $2.5M per.
  10. He's durable, so I think Doug has offered him 2 years, while he won't give many others 2. The word is, COL has a 1 year deal on the table, but the other team has a 2, so the Rockies will either have to match or let him go.
  11. I thought the reliever was Riske, but now it sounds like it is Matt Herges. Details at the link in my sig.
  12. Tom has done plenty of sloppy reporting however, misidentifying what draft picks would be received, and so on. Steroids has kind of become a generic term for performance enhancers, and I certainly don't know which are which...maybe Tom or Angel's old coach don't either.
  13. 8 men used versus Georgia tonight, and Gullickson for only 6 minutes. Jarmusz may well not be the only one wishing they had redshirt, barring injuries and ineligibility.
  14. Greg, I don't think it's an insult at all, many were afraid of backloading his deal because he would be impossible to trade at $12M. That could still happen if he is injured, of course, but with the rise in salaries, especially pitching, no one other than a rebuilder or a tiny market would hesitate to add a $12M pitcher that could help them win. Heck, Cordero might be a bargain in a couple years, as long as he's healthy. I felt Howry and Eyre were well overpaid when they signed, and now they are barely more than half-price compared to Linebrink. Right now, the risk is injury (or falling apart, I guess), not cost in '09 or '10.
  15. All pitchers have a substantial health risk. I agree though, those saying Suppan would be very overpaid at the end of his deal look very foolish.
  16. Add about $1-2M per onto what Silva gets, which I would estimate to be 4y/$44-50M.
  17. The Twins have no interest in Vargas, they have 6-7 SP candidates, and they will probably be dealing Johan and getting a couple more.
  18. As weak as catching is, I think I'd take one in the first 5 rounds every year, as long as you are not making a huge reach. Given where they are in success curve, I don't see an OF taken early, and a college reliever in the top 5 picks makes perfect sense.
  19. You are very welcome, T.
  20. I post the link to this over at Ramblings a few times a year, and am always amazed by the many e-mails I get. Warns was a Marine who hailed from Waukesha, so many here may have heard of him or even known him. I realize this is an apolitical site, but I don't think honoring a fallen Marine would offend anyone. On this Thanksgiving, allow me to say how thankful I am for brave men and women who chose (or choose) to serve. Warns' tribute
  21. I bet Father's Day will mean a lot more to you than a tie each year. Everyone has a ton to be thankful for every year, even if the media is lost in the negative of the week (can't get over the record travel despite the gas prices, they have discussed how travel is near all-time lows for about 6 months now). Nice for someone to actually admit it. Great story, Rob. Also, everyone should remind their family and friends tomorrow to be a donor.
  22. I would just guess Doug would plan to get by until 7/31 with what he had, and then try to add a SP at the deadline for kids. It's unlikely a deal like that gets done now.
  23. I would be shocked if the Crew has any interest in Dukes. That said, the Sheets rumor sounds close to one just discussed last week, so there may well be something to that.
  24. A redshirt is a decision you can rescind. If you redshirt, and somehow, you end up playing a minute or two, you lose it. In fact, there have been cases where a redshirted player has ended up in the box score due to scorekeeper's error, and teams have had to "prove" it by presenting game tapes and such.
