  1. http://sonsofsimmons.com/mlb/sources-red-sox-agree-in-principle-on-deal-with-mark-teixeira/2008/ I don't know what "Sons of Simmons" is, but if it's true, the Red Sox were playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers.
  2. Manny being Yankee = sweet, sweet entertainment. Awesome.
  3. You want us to trade a serviceable #5 starter for a backup catcher making $5.4 million? Why?
  4. http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2008/12/cubsrumors1219.php That's most of it, really. The rest is the usual.
  5. Had you been serious about it, you would have had the custom jersey engine spit out a jersey with DUNN on the back and a separate one with no. 44 and then spliced them together to produce the real deal. ... Just saying. :-#
  6. So Melky is your Brian Roberts? :-s
  7. If the Braves revive talks and take Peavy after all of that [expletive], I may have to nuke the city of Atlanta.
  8. This is a typo, I assume.
  9. It's not a completely random occurrence since he's had blister problems in years past (I remember he had one at the start of 2004, although I don't think he missed time with it), but I agree. You'd never prefer someone get injured and miss time, but if someone with Woody's injury history goes on the DL, a blister being the culprit rather than something structural with his shoulder or elbow probably comes as a relief.
  10. Yes, but just today they finalized the deal and made it official. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-indians-wood&prov=ap&type=lgns
  11. Why? Johnson was really good last year and hasbeen over the last several years when he's been on the field I think he meant Randy rather than Reed.
  12. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52355
  13. If you're a lefty, you could probably make league minimum just for running it up to 85-88.
  14. They don't want to announce it so as not to take attention away from Ravens/Steelers.
  15. I need to wean myself from checking this thread every few minutes.
  16. Yes, they've modified the competitive structure to avoid the assinine tiebreaker system the inaugural tournament used.
  17. :bye: Godspeed, old friend. May the American League feel the wrath of your fastball and the bite of your slider.
  18. DeRo played a fairly significant amount of outfield with Texas prior to signing with the Cubs, to the tune of 85 appearances (80 starts) in RF between 2005 and 2006. It's not that Ibanez is a great left fielder whom people don't think could play right - it's that he's a slow and aging player who doesn't inspire particular confidence at any spot in the outfield.
  19. Hitting .288 with 31 HRs and 159 RBIs for a combined $7.5 mil over two seasons while providing solid and consistent defense at 5 positions and being a fan favorite goes a long way towards whitewashing initial overreactions.
  20. There's no way this doesn't end like the Roberts deal. Book it - a week from now, we hear "we simply decided it wasn't a good fit and we've decided to go in a different direction. We wish the Padres and Jake Peavy the best of luck in 2009."
  21. Ryan Freel, Brandon Waring and Justin Turner for Ramon Hernandez (and cash, I think?).
