    Sissy. I didn't say that would stop me from drinking it, did I?

    I actually expect to see Veal up in our pen by mid-August. I have a feeling that this is a breakout year for him.
  3. Rob
    Nobody does. Though surprisingly, he hasn't muffed that up too badly. Ceda has no business being in a top five simply because he's a reliever, but I can't find much fault with including the others in the top 4.

    Bacardi 151 is painful.
  5. Rob
    Ty Cobb and somebody else.

    I don't care for Latinos either. Good call, Meph.

    Are we assuming the Dodgers stay healthy or get injured? Cause they're the one team in either league that can actually get better as they get injured...
  8. Rob
    Pass.

    http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?c_id=tex&content_id=1443421&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_tex&ymd=20060508 you are correct. the cubs traded for kyler burke a year and four days after he signed Well that's settled, then... It's still technically feasible that Latos comes back as a PTBNL, but I'm not sure that we can make a trade with the O's that would include a player on the "PTBNL list" that isn't actually in our system at the time of the trade.

    Maybe they'll finally vote for the Cubs. You underestimate the shady tactics of those who count the votes... [-X That's just a sign you aren't playing dirty enough to inspire their fear. You can't beat people who cheat by doing a shoddy job of it yourself. You have to stoop to the level that they'd have to question their humanity in order to continue on. Try abducting their pets. If they push the issue, send back the tail. They'll fold. :lol: Yeah, I'm going to hell.

    I was only kidding... Latos has a mid 90s fastball, good curve, good change. Big and projectable. Injury risk though (bc of age). Top of the rotation potential with 2 plus pitches, maybe a third in a perfect scenario. He was an 11th round pick in 06 (first round talent) and signed for over a mil as a DFA. Would have easily gone in the first this year had he gone back in. He signed quick enough to get 11 starts in SS this year. He had 74 Ks in 56 innings with 22 walks. Hes got loads of potential, but his ETA is probably 2011. And I've ever been serious? Wow... real interesting guy. Only problem is, looks like he didn't sign til May 31st, 2007. That means he'd have to be a PTBNL... which isn't going to happen. No, he was drafted in 2006. I believe the rule is one year from the day he was drafted, not signed. The rule is there to ensure that teams don't circumvent the trading draft picks rule. I seem to recall reading recently that it's the date of signing, not the day he was drafted.

    Touche, fate.
  13. Rob

    I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning. At any rate, I demand repayment of the debt for wasting my time getting you a FFIX save.
  17. Rob
    I don't suppose I can get a Latos analysis? I've let my BA subscription expire, expecting my book to be here already... it isn't.
  18. Rob
    But boy oh boy, he is going to own that shuuto.
  19. Rob
    A frighteningly inconsistent pitcher?
  20. Rob
    Yeah, cheers Raisin!
  21. Rob
    This would go away faster if he didn't push it so hard.
  22. Rob
    I really can't figure out for the life of me why I even bother trying to figure out what's going on in baltimore right now.
  23. Rob
    MacPhail is gonna get shot on the street if any of those OH posters see him.
  24. Rob
    But that would ruin our fun.
  25. Rob
    We should totally make out sometime.
