$10m isn't enough to buy 3 wins. The difference between someone like DiFelice and Sheets in the rotation has to be close to that, I'd think?

If Mike Lamb is starting for us I don't have to worry about playoff tickets he was horrible last year with the twins.. Well, Bill Hall was largely horrible for us last year too and we still made the playoffs. My point being, if it's not working as we get into the season, there's nothing that says we can't make a change.

While this forum's staff's overwhleming denial of the existence and relevance of negative opinions is well-documented Yeah, that 200-page vent thread during the season is a shining example of that denial... And my goodness, I assume you've read threads here the past couple of days- can you seriously claim that negative opinions are denied existence here? They're all over the place, in nearly every thread in the Major League forum and are in numerous trade rumors threads. I'd think if there was an"overwhelming" suppression of negative opinions by the forum staff, that wouldn't be the case, right? Over-exuberant and impulsive posts on the side of happy are never ever questioned or scolded, even if the quality of the post is terrible. Yet negative posts of all shapes, sizes, and colors are candidates for locked threads, condescension without reprimand, and sudden "quality assurance" scrutiny. I assume you can provide examples? If what you claim is valid, I should think that you should be able to easily provide examples of each of the above mentioned behaviors without much difficulty. Personally, I think the negative opinions far out-weigh the positives here right now. If that's the case, I can't see how that side of things is being pushed down in anyway, because it's everywhere. And just because a specific thread was locked that was started to lump the negative opinions there doesn't equal oppression. In fact, by locking that thread, it implies that the negative opinions are fine in the other threads instead of them being put in one specific place. As was posted in the thread in question: If one truly feels that strongly opposed to something, it's preferable that they formulate a well thought out argument that contributes to discussion in an already existing thread or stimulates discussion in a new thread of its own. I don't see why that should seem unreasonable to you at all, really.

what if they also sign Burnett and Sheets... What pick do we get for Sheets? Do we get their #2 or does Toronto get it? Besides the sandwich picks that is.... Toronto would get their 2nd.

Carp seems to be a decent 1B prospect, but otherwise, it's a pretty underwhelming haul for Putz in Jack's first trade. Maybe he just had an itchy trigger finger to make that first trade or something. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hopefully, Mark A sees the light about Doug. That he's a good GM and really deserves to be extended? I absolutely agree, FWIW.

We won't know what pick we get from the Yankees until Tex signs with a team. EDIT: Rosenthal is reporting the deal done as well, but says the Yankees upped their offer to 7 years/160 million: http://msn.foxsports.com/...rees-to-deal-with-Yankees
