    and then Hughes gets beat, luckily theres a flag. Im not feeling to good about this game right now.
  2. Jazz
    wow, our Run D is looking weak
  3. Jazz
    wow, that was a dirty hit
  4. Jazz
    im calling this game is a shootout that is decided in the 4th quarter, probably by a turnover.

    Man im loving the love that Desean Jackson is finally getting from the media. this kid is going to be special for some NFL team in in 2 years.

    Alright now that the UM-OSU game is over, lets shift focus to the next big game, Cal vs. USC. What are the implications of that in the BCS. Obviously the winner of the Pac-10 is decided, and if USC wins, they will get a fair chance at the national title game by facing Notre Dame. But if Cal wins, will they get a shot at a BCS bowl?

    Is it feasible to fit Soriano, and Drew under the payroll? I think if Hendry is creative enough, he can get rid of some weight like Jones, Eyre, Izturis, etc... and make room for those two. Then get someone like Westbrook through trade and fill in some bench spots, then call it an offseason.

    uhhhh...no. Why? You're probably right, but that's not saying much, especially not at 3.75 mil
  9. Jazz
    Thanks for the info, ill edit the new estimate
  10. Jazz
    New updated payroll (added Blanco and Derosa) Miller - 1.5M Wood - 1.75M Dempster - 5.3M Eyre - 3.8M Howry - 4.5M Rusch - 3.3M Lee - 13M Derosa - 3.75M Izturis - 4.3M Ramirez - 14.6M Barrett - 4.5M Blanco - 2.15M Jones - 5.3M if you add in arbitration eligible estimates: Zambrano - 10M (hopefully with an extension) Prior - 4M Ohman - 1M Cotts - 500k and player's without a contract that have less than 3 years of MLB experience likely to be kept on the 25 man Murton - 400k Hill - 400k Theriot - 400k Wuertz - 400k Guzman - 400k Total = 85 Million There is also a feeling that I'm getting from Hendry and Pineilla that the payroll might be 5-10 mil higher than the current 110-115M estimate going around. If you are optimistic and think that the payroll could be up to 120 mil, than that leaves us 35 million to work with. If you are pessimistic than you are still going to assume we are 25 mil away from the limit. Rusch's injury could keep him from playing in 07, and the cubs could exercise the right to drop him, with a severance of some kind, maybe totaled to about 1M and some change.

    And there's your 4 team trade: Howry to Phillies Rowand to White Sox Garcia to Team X Player X to Cubs Team X = Detroit Tigers Player X = Neifi Perez the thought of Neifi Perez calling himself Player X like a bad nickname is making me cry hysterically.

    I think eyre would wave that without hesitation, as Baker is gone who he had a great relationship with, along with getting off a team that was the worst in the NL to go a decent AL team.

    Kaplan said the other night, Hendry loves Murton, but that he almost guaranteed that Jones would not be with the team to start next year. Schnikes that's good news if true! thats fantastic news. Id try to change Wuertz to Eyre/Howry though, but thats still great. Westbrook would be a great #3/#4 option for the rotation, and would be a steady, solid arm for us for a good 2-3 years. I can't wait to see the type of improvement hed make going from the AL to the NL. He has pitched 200+ innings for 3 straight years, and doesnt walk to many batters. Those things are two attributes we need out of at least one of our starters next year.

    http://minorleaguebaseball.com/images/2006/11/15/u4vG65pI.jpg thats pretty nifty. Not as nifty as the MB Brewers mit, but still cool.
  16. Jazz
    Hmm. Would he throw a hissy fit about playing CF like he did over playing LF? maybe we put him at second and still get drew for center? :D Or put Soriano in Center, Drew in Right, and Trade jacque!
  17. Jazz
    If thats the price, your looking at a 5 year deal in which you would be paying upwards of 15 mil per a year, maybe more. Wow.
  18. Jazz
    lol imagine. yesterday we were calling the 2007 season over already. Now, if the above were to happen, wed be on our way to a World Series :p

Zambrano 2. Hill 3. Hudson 4. Padilla 5. Prior/Miller RP Prior/Miller RP Wuertz RP Ohman RP Howry RP Eyre RP Dempster

    If you think about it, that kind of contract might not be all to suprising if Hendry really is changing his style. Last year he was the slowest GM in baseball, and made barely any moves at the beginning of the offseason. Now, he will make a quick strike at a top FA target. That would be his final offer. If Drew and Boras took to long to look at the offer, and weren't definitive on an answer, Hendry will have moved on to another target for the the OF in a week or so. At least im hoping thats what this kind of large offer would mean.
  21. Jazz
    Wow. That's a sweet deal for Drew. I don't know many other teams that would match that in per year, maybe an extra year though for less money. If this rumor is true, than I am very pleased with Hendry today.

    New updated payroll Miller - 1.5M Wood - 1.75M Dempster - 5.3M Eyre - 3.8M Howry - 4.5M Rusch - 3.3M Lee - 13M Izturis - 4.3M Ramirez - 14.6M Barrett - 4.5M Jones - 5.3M if you add in arbitration eligible estimates: Zambrano - 10M (hopefully with an extension) Prior - 4M Ohman - 1M and player's without a contract that have less than 3 years of MLB experience likely to be kept on the 25 man Murton - 350k Hill - 350k Theriot - 350k Wuertz - 350k Guzman - 350k Cedeno - 350k totals to rougly 79 Million. If the 110-115 payroll estimate is right, we have around 36-41 million to play with for 5 players.

    Quoting myself since too many posts past to edit... Since Wood is back and likely in the pen, what about a Jones+Dempster for Hudson deal? Atlanta gets rid of any '09 obligation, as well as at least 10 million total salary, plus a serviceable OF and a bullpen project like they've taken on before(Sosa, Reitsma, etc). A Zambrano, Schmidt, Hudson, Hill, Prior/Miller/youngster rotation would be fun. Any chance you can swing that into a Jones, Dempster, and Pie for Jones and Hudson type deal?
  24. Jazz
    So in the end, the hometown discount is basically the difference between a guaranteed year, and a mutual option at the end of the contract. Not bad. ...if you are to believe that report. I think we all know how credible all these reports are... True, but I do believe that could be a likely start point for the angels, give or take a few mil per year. In the end, that hometown discount only looks better and better.
  25. Jazz
    I know Manny is going to be shopped. Are we a likely destination?
