    I'm sure you didn't mean anything by that comment, but I find it sort of offensive. The way its states makes it seem like you're saying non-premium members are somehow less important, or don't care as much. If I had the money I would gladly pay for Premium, it's a great site. I have posted here a while, since 2003. Eventually maybe I'll be able to fork over the money for Premium, but for the time being, I'm just a 'regular' member. Hopefully its okay for guys like me to 'post nonsense' here. I don't think you should take it personally. It was an attack on the posts that those two made. It really didn't have much to do with non-premium members vs. premium members. It had to do with inflamitory posts that had little basis in reality.

    Even if Giles is 70% as effective he still is only making 10 mill/year. In three years that probably won't be that much for a putting up those numbers. He was the perfect fit. I understand if he wasn't interested in leaving the WC. Maybe Hendry knew and that is why he didn't persue, who knows.

    To me, he showed much more potential than Welly or Novoa or Wuertz. I guess maybe the BoSox saw what I did. I hope that PTBNL is a very good one. Wuertz> JVB Did you check JVB's and Wuertz's minor league numbers? Weurtz is 2 years ahead of JVB in his progress. What does that mean? They aren't hard boiled eggs

    great post. i agree 100%. of course some know-it-alls on this board said no way giles doesnt go to the highest because its all about $ but apparently they were incorrect. When the board starts working better I'd appreciate it if either of you to coould produce even one post where anyone here said any of the things I've bolded. If you can find even one post I will pay for each of you to have a months worth of premium membership. =; you big spender :) It is a month more then they've paid Tim for the privilage of posting that nonsense here.

    Yea....they will love him as a football player.....hate him as a pitcher. I can see him sweating already....he will be run out of town within 2 years. Dusty abused him? By putting him into games and expecting him to get people out? Did Cox abuse him when he put him this fall and he imloded in Houston? The guy tanks in pressure situations. The Yankees are giving him 15 mil to do what? Tackle people? We shall see.
  14. CubinNY
    The average Yankee fan will love Farnsworth. He is a hulking pitcher who is a little wild and throws gas. Can you imagine what will happen if Veritec goes after A-Rod? Farns will plant him. As long as Torre doesn't abuse him like Dusty did he will be fine. However, Torree has a bad history of going with the hot hand, just like Dusty.

    I wonder if he would agree to play CF. If the money and players were right I'd take a shot and see if he would agree to play there. The Cubs already have two guys for 2nd and for far less.

    Pretty cool idea if you ask me. Not if you paid $2,000 for seat, want to eat and can't stand the smell of one of those turds. I cannot stand cigars. If I'm paying that kind of money I don't want to have my food ruined by that junk. Sounds cool to me too. You dont go to cigar and martini bar to eat food. Sounds like this bar is only available to club members. Its not like its the only place to eat either for these people, they probably have suites. I bet they are changing it to cigar martini bar because no one ATE there in the first place. I've been there and it is a full size resteraunt with buffets at four corners of the room. The only thing I can think of is that it may be big enough to have a somking section walled off.

    Does it have something to do with Jimmy Edmonds and a construction worker? I'm here all week folks. Don't forget to tip your waitreses and bartenders.

    See my edited post above. You left out a lot. With Delgado, Manny, Beltran, & Wright they would have about the best middle of the line up in the NL, too. Omar is putting together a very good team.

    I don't think the Cubs were ever "officially" in the bidding.

    I get that feeling as well. I think he'd be a good utility man. But Dusty hated him, and it's possible they would let him walk. Any chance he gets traded rather than non-tendered? I think so. But I don't know how much value he has after this past year. I also think it is not a good idea to publically out a guy for missing signs like Dusty did last year. It all but says he will not be back. But hey, that's our Cubs.

    I agree to an extent. Furcal has a decent history, and with the going rate for SS 8 to 10/year is about right. However, I think the going rate is foolish. I cannot imagine that Furcal will put up that much better numbers than either Neifi (gasp) or Cedeno to warrent paying him that kind of money. See, that is my problem this off-season. Hendry has spent good money upgrading positions that could be filled internally and completely neglected (as far as we know) the one position where there isn't an internal candidate. I'm not saying Howry and Eyre aren't going to be servicable. But IMO the Cubs already have guys that are serviceable. I'm anxiously awaiting the Winter meetings. I hope Hendry can pull a rabbit out of his hat. I hope the Rabbit's name is Bobby.

    Why do you think he was juiced?
  24. CubinNY
    Those people are probably looking at his K rate. I think he would be a fine placeholder for Pie for the next couple of years. Believe it or not there are people who don't eat, sleep, and breath OBP as the final bastion of baseball batting glory. He's a glorified Bellhorn who puts up 60 XBH, .350 OBP, and 150 Ks. I rest my case, your honor.
