Maybe Norway has a team. I could play 3rd base. I can't hit for crap, though.
-
I say go for it. It's a no-lose situation.
-
As many know, I'm a Packer fan, but you guys had a heck of a year and you should be proud. Still waiting for you guys to fall back to 4-12 next year, though. ;)
-
Wow. That's a hard one. I guess the ONLY reason you turn this down is because Prior is so young. I'd have to think long and hard about that one.
-
Being a Cub fan is all about expecting the worst. After all, what have we gotten for the last 97 years?
-
If I were him I'd run like hell away from this sorry franchise and never look back. Hendry NEEDS to have a one-on-one sitdown with him and smooth things over. Now.
-
I was one of those hapless Cub fans that put money on them to win the World Series. It was my first time in Vegas and I figured I had to take advantage. I believe the quote here is "A fool and his money are soon parted." ;)
-
Andre won't get in next year, as it'll be all about Gwynn, McGwire, and Ripken. But maybe the year after or 2008.

Furcal has knee surgery
erik316wttn replied to Jehrico's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I've had three such surgeries on my right knee. In each case it took me at least 3 weeks to be cleared to go back to work. -
I guess my favorite Corey moment was when I got his autograph in Milwaukee.
-
Corey wasn't bad. I wish him well in Baltimore. He seemed like a nice guy.
-
How much is that package? And do I have to buy the whole thing if I just want to see the Cub games? This is what ticks me off. I have digital cable. I don't have FSN-Chicago, however. But my fiancee's family 30 miles to the south does have it, but none of them care about baseball. Is that justice?
-
Soriano isn't a savior, but he's one hell of a lot more than I thought we could get for Patterson straight up. But, if we have to give them Williams, I say pass. I say go for it, if you can get that much in return for him without having to trade Williams. But the only downside is then you HAVE to trade Walker, and you wont get full value for him.
-
So then Neifi will start at short as soon as Cedeno has a 1-10 streak.
-
Don, Good guesses. I am telling you - there has got to be something about his personality for those teams to not want to trade for a $2.5M player with his potential for offensive production. Maybe a Spring Training deal. When you've played for five teams in eight years, word gets around pretty fast. He's not completely toxic, but close. No one seems to want him, and if the Cubs don't either, they're going to have to eat some money to move him. I guess picking up the option wasn't such a smart idea after all. Only if you're dead set on trading him. I cannot possibly see how this team could be hurt by having Todd Walker starting at 2B this year.
-
Good, now we can keep Prior.
-
I never really saw Portland as an MLB city. They're small enough to support an NBA team, and maybe even a relocated NHL team, but baseball or football would die there. There's the Vegas issue, but MLB would be leery of having any team there, even if you take the Vegas Marlins games off the books. The only other spot I could see would be Charlotte or N. Virginia, but with the Orioles and Nationals right there, that market is kind of booked. Maybe Texas? San Antonio perhaps?
-
This is going to open up a whole other can of worms, but that's going to make Interleague Play difficult when it's division vs. division. Central and East would be perfect as each are at 5, but 6 vs. 4 would be hard to do. In the grand scheme of things, it's minor. But I think baseball would take it into consideration and make either the east or the central the 6-team division.
-
The Portland Marlins doesn't have a ring to it. I think if they move, they'll need new colors and mascot, because that teal and black doesn't seem to work there either. Suggestions? How would you realign? Kick the Rockies to the Central and the Pirates to the East? How big is the Portland metro area compared to Miami? And would they be able to pull enough fans from the Mariners to compete in that area? With all the rain, it would have to be a retractable-roof stadium. I would think that one of the Central teams would move to the East and Colorado stays in the West. Those West Coast teams and the pitching friendly parks balance out the Colorado park. Could you imagine the offense if Colorado joined the NL Central? :shock: If baseball would be willing to make the West the 6-team division. I don't know if they would because the AL West is still only 4 teams. I think they'd want to keep the Central at 6.
-
probably not before the 2007 season at the earliest. And they'd have to find a temporary home for 3 seasons or so while a new stadium is being built.

Baseball World Cup is on for 2006 according to BA

Way to grab Bush by the short ones. Now we see which is greater, his love of baseball or his BS political games. And, in an unrelated note, A-Rod has said he'd play for the US. -
Bruce! Anything new?
erik316wttn replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Perhaps the mods could sticky a Bruce thread where posters could post questions and then Bruce could answer them when he wants instead of being constantly called out? -
Patterson and prospects for Ibanez!
-
Any interest in Molina?
erik316wttn replied to Neuby's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
If the offense was better I'd agree with you, but with this lineup we're going to need all the pop we can get.
