But Rincon is a mil cheaper than King would have been.. King wasnt all that great either.. and no I'm not saying Rincon is either.. Could do worse though.. Sure King would have been OK to keep but we got 3 alright players for King's price.. Not too bad IMO. Rincon may suck but then when he goes out there and pitches a career year... wait.. :lol:

I dont know but I know you have a better team than.. 1. SS Eckstein 2. RF Taguchi 3. 1B Pujols 4. CF Edmonds 5. 3B Rolen (if healthy) 6. LF Rodriguez 7. C Molina 8. 2B Luna SP Carpenter SP Mulder SP Suppan SP Marquis SP Reyes And the bullpen doesnt have anyone really.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dont forget.. They also got Gary Bennett as their backup catcher.. Yeah, the same guy in 03 that Pujols punched..

Padres reject three-year offer from Giles' agent By Tom Krasovic UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER 4:33 p.m. November 23, 2005 http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/padres/images/050919giles-hr.jpg The likelihood of Brian Giles returning to the Padres next season took a severe hit Wednesday afternoon when the club rejected a three-year proposal that the right fielder's agent said was "significantly less" than what Giles can get from at least one other club. "We're going to go forward with the assumption that the Padres and Brian are not able to make a deal," agent Joe Bick said. "We've been holding off moving in a different direction in hopes of getting something done with the Padres, but there's no reason to believe that's going to happen." Bick wouldn't discuss the worth of the deal, which is believed to be close to $30 million. [More in URL]

You honestly believe the Cardinals dont want Giles or arent interested in him? They are. Just more involved in pitching as of this minute..

Yankees and Giles playing Phone Tag By MARK HALE http://www.nypost.com/photos/yankslede11222005.jpg November 22, 2005 -- Neither the Yankees' manager nor their former right fielder can connect with Brian Giles. "He has not spoken to either one of them," Bick said, noting that Torre and O'Neill had left messages for Giles and vice versa. Bick said he believed Giles had tried calling Torre at some point on Friday or Saturday. Bick said Giles has to have at least a three-year deal with his new contract. Asked what he is looking for — length of contract, a no-trade clause, geography, a commitment to winning — Bick indicated everything was going to factor in. [More in URL]

Giles agent was on KMOX last night. Said the Cards are working on pitching RIGHT NOW but when they are finished Brian should still be around. McLaughlin asked if the Cards taking their time to get pitching would keep them from getting Giles he said no. Dont count them outta it yet.. They are focused on pitching right now but never know..

Cubs agree to terms with free-agent reliever Eyre CHICAGO (AP) -- Free-agent reliever Scott Eyre agreed to terms on a two-year, $11 million contract with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal, which includes a player option for the 2008 season, were still being negotiated. "We haven't worked all that out yet," Eyre's agent Tommy Tanzer said. "There is going to be a signing bonus." The Cubs said Eyre will be introduced at a news conference Friday at Wrigley Field. Eyre's contract calls for up to $300,000 a year in performance bonuses. He will receive $100,000 for 70 appearances and an additional $200,000 if he pitches in 80 games. There is also wording that would give Eyre additional money should he become the Cubs' closer.

Burnett won't sign for less than five years By Jerry Crasnick ESPN Insider http://espn.go.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/6314.jpg A.J. Burnett, the prize of this winter's free-agent starting pitching market, has received two five-year offers from clubs and expects to receive at least two more within the next week, his agent, Darek Braunecker, told ESPN.com. While Braunecker declined to identify specific teams in the bidding for Burnett, a baseball source confirmed that the Toronto Blue Jays have offered Burnett a five-year deal for about $50 million. Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi couldn't immediately be reached to comment. Braunecker said he's still in discussions with nine clubs about Burnett. Texas, Seattle, Washington and Boston are among the teams in the mix, while the St. Louis Cardinals also are believed to have expressed interest. [More in URL] Bidding war for Burnett begins The market for free-agent right-hander A.J. Burnett is sizzling. Burnett has received a five-year offer from an unidentified club, FOXSports.com has learned, and two other teams have indicated their willingness to extend him a five-year deal. The offer that Burnett received is believed to be in the range of $10 million per season. Given the intensity of the bidding, it would not be surprising if Burnett's price ultimately rose to six years and/or $12 million per season. The Cardinals, Cubs and Red Sox are among the teams pushing hard for Burnett. Six other clubs also have expressed significant interest - the Mets, Rangers, Blue Jays, Mariners, Orioles and Nationals. Several of Burnett's suitors - including the Cardinals, Cubs, Mets and Red Sox - would be in position to trade starting pitching if they added Burnett. The Cardinals could move right-hander Jason Marquis. The Red Sox, expected to trade lefty David Wells, also could deal righty Matt Clement. The Cubs' plans would hinge upon the health of right-hander Kerry Wood. [More in URL]

Dontrelle had the better year? Really? Carpenter had more strikeouts, a better whip, better baa.. less hits allowed in 5 more innings, less walks.

Marquis threw 82 SINKERS and 9 BREAKING BALLS. Interesting that's all he threw..

Last night is a typo.. It should be last month..

It happens but it sucks..

Anthony Reyes k's Ankiel from Memphis Record Books Today just a couple minutes ago Anthony Reyes' return to Memphis was remarkable. Guess what he does.. 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 15 K, 0 HR.. Why is this special you ask... The Memphis Redbirds record for strikeouts in a game was 14 by Rick Ankiel.. Not anymore. History was made today.. Sad thing is.. He's not gonna win as Wes Obermueller is pitching great and it's 0-0 after 7 and appears Anthony is done for the day. He went past his pitch count..

LMAO go check his profile. AVG .271 | HR 10 | RBI 45 | SB 16 Musta got 8 steals this game too.

No wonder that win felt so good..

That was a great Eckstein segment.. Made me cry :lol:

That's ok.. If you guys win I wont post em tommorow.. Goodluck today :)

I'm fast :lol: :lol: :lol:
