well that was certainly something to see. now imagine if erstad had broken it up...if you think we hear enough about his intangibles right now, hoo boy....

I dont think that is enough to get that done. it's not even close to enough. o'dowd asked for the following for holliday: mets: beltran and fernando martinez (sending willy taveras back with holliday) angels: saunders or santana, plus adenhart and kendrick holliday doesn't really seem to be going anywhere...

this is sad. thanks, dusty. that's about all i have to say about this.

so you can take an obvious PR quote and attempt to use it to make an argument, but then attack someone else for using one? seems reasonable. GM statements are pure PR. player statements not so much. this is not hypocrisy as the honesty behind Nomars statement is far less in doubt. if you want to make a case that Nomar's statement was more PR than honest statement, be my guest. yeah, nomar is gonna say "boy, i hated boston, i'm glad to be out of that craphole." come on. if you think every statement a GM makes is a PR move, then you can't even reasonably think that nomar's statement after his trade wasn't the same thing.

He's already under contract for this year and the next, isn't he? not anymore. this move makes prior a free agent after 2008. he will accrue service time from this point on, which is plenty - he only needed something like a month's worth of service time to have enough to become a free agent at the end of next season (assuming he gets service time for all of next year).

I can't possibly think of two teams I loathe more than the Yankees and the White Sox. If I were at that game I would be booing constantly. uh, the cardinals?

jacque jones and cliff floyd are way better out there in RF, dudes. they are awesome defenders, i'm glad they start all the time!

wrong he was already ours until then. holding him down at the start of the season guaranteed it (i think it's only 2 weeks. the cubs did this to kerry wood in 98).

don't patronize me. i am completely aware that we have a lot of left-handed bats (and not once did i say i wanted a right-hander in CF - i don't care. don't put words in my mouth). the fact of the matter is that pie could potentially hit them (but a moot point now that he was optioned). jones has proven over the course of his entire major league career that he can not.

right. there's no need for them to announce this publicly and make a big deal out of it.

please read the thread before you start mocking people. jones is useless against LHP, and if lou absolutely insists on using him against them, it's better for the team if he's somehow gone.
