  1. Some people argue for the enshrinement of Andre Dawson. I always liked and respected Andre, but Vlad is far better. Surefire Hall of Famer.
  2. They also sent Ricky Ledee back to the minors. Jacque Jones, your table is ready.
  3. Neither Detroit nor Cleveland has anything resembling a legitimate backup shortstop on its roster. And the way Lugo has played for Boston makes Izturis look like a good option.
  4. I cannot imagine any scenario under which the Reds trade Griffey before he hits HR #600.
  5. 714, because that's how many home runs Babe Ruth hit. Well done.
  6. Dragnet threadjacking trivia: What is Sgt. Friday's badge number and why?
  7. In the realm of realistic catcher upgrades, Brad Ausmus is a decent target.
  8. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores107/107187/MLB734011.htm
  9. Someone in the media recently suggested Brad Ausmus as a possible fit for the Cubs. Normally, I'd be horrified at the idea, but even he seems like he'd be a decent addition at this point.
  10. Which again begs the question, "How is that incurring more debt for the new owner when we have to pay him if we keep him?" Evidently, if they trade him and pay his salary (or, ostensibly, DhimFA), all the money due him must be taken up immediately for accounting purposes. Something to do with having a liability (Jones salary), but no corresponding asset (Jones' services - no jokes, please).
  11. What's even more amazing is one of Hendry's missed targets this offseason:
  12. The following players are set to be free agents after the season: Cliff Floyd (mutual option) Cesar Izturis (club option) Daryle Ward (club option) Carlos Zambrano Scott Eyre (player option) Kerry Wood Wade Miller
  13. If we had two Matt Murtons and two Sean Marshalls, I would trade all four for Saltalamacchia.
  14. Atlanta would moving Salt. for Texiera, in essence. But i don't see this being remotely feasible with Texiera hurt. I can't see Atlanta doing that. We're talking about one of the very most valuable properties in the game in Saltalamacchia.
  15. To get Saltalamacchia, we're going to have to part with something that really, really hurts, like Pie or Marmol+.
  16. As such, I expect the Cubs to hire him in some capacity soon.
  17. only one option is burned per year no matter how many times they go down. That's true, but, if they chose to option a guy who hasn't been down at all this year (Theriot), it would burn an option year that otherwise wouldn't be.
  18. Pat Burrell would very possibly be the worst defensive right fielder in major league history. We would be howling for the defensive wizardry of Cliff Floyd within a week.
  19. You could probably have Woody Williams for Jacque if you wanted to.
  20. He is? April .280 .337 .341 .678 May .205 .263 .329 .592 June .196 .275 .304 .579
  21. If the presence of my car in the driveway was bringing down the value of my house, I might give the car to a friend across town while continuing to pay the bills on it.
