good luck with that

[RationalSoxFan]

Jason Hirsh come on down to the SouthSide!

[Soul]

Stros just got weaker. Gotta love that.

Love it! Clemens is next!

You gotta love that trade (assuming it's back on now). But, I still think the Sox move Hirsh and Gonzalez for another bat.

I have a feeling Kenny Williams has some other trade brewing.

Mussina, Wang, Johnson, Pettitte and Igawa (assuming they reach a deal with him).

 

Just like Jaret Wright a few weeks ago, it sure sounds like the Carl Pavano experiment is over in the Big Apple.

 

They will undoubtedly try to dump him on somebody - who is very desperate other than Baltimore? Toronto? Giants? Astros?

[Brian]

If we can get Pavano on the cheap prospect wise and if they pick up some salary, I say it's worth a shot.

Unconfirmed at $16 mil for one season.

Willis, Tejada, and maybe even A-Rod make the most sense.

 

That would be a good deal for the Sox, if they were to land Hirsh. But you would have to think that they want to contend again in 07, so I'm sure that would just be part of a bigger package to land a top player.

I don't think they're any worse off than this year for trading Garland and inserting McCarthy into the rotation.

Contreras

Buehrle

Vazquez

McCarthy

Hirsh

 

Not too bad, I guess.

Wow. The Yankees must be desperate for pitching.

[Backtobanks]

Contreras

Buehrle

Vazquez

McCarthy

Let's not forget that McCarthy and Hirsh are prospects, so the rotation isn't that strong.

McCarthy is a step ahead of a prospect, and he's had some success at the major league level. As a starter, he has a 4.12 ERA in 67.2 IP.

[Outshined_One]

Buehrle's contracts is up after this year, to boot.

$16 million. Pettitte or Bonds...

 

Hmm...

 

Toughie.

[jjgman21]

Hmm...

not so tough anymore considering Pettitt's deal includes a second year of 16M at that players option.

Wow. That is hilarious.

[Laura]

Wow. Jayson Stark claims that Pettitte offered to return to the Astros for $2M less than the Yankees offer -- which would have been $2M more than the Astros' original offer, thus splitting the difference between the two offers -- but that the Astros didn't pony up due to pressure from the Commissioner's Office over the Carlos Lee deal. Huh?

 

ESPN.com[/url]"] Why? Good question. The buzz around baseball is that MLB officials -- particularly commissioner Bud Selig -- weren't happy with the Astros for giving $100 million over six years to free agent Carlos Lee. So owner Drayton McLane might be trying to placate MLB's hard-liners by attempting to hold down the rest of his payroll.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, that sucks for Houston. Wonder if the Commisioner's Office is sniffing around Wrigley because of the Soriano deal - if they were, the Trib/Hendry are obviously not going the same route as McLane.
