Soto traded?

Beaten? Who gets to take the first shot? -
Len talked about this during a game. Rizzo told him he was just messing around in the cage with different stances and it felt good to him. So send your fruit to Rizzo. Don't need to send it. He'll take whatever he wants.

You guys are killing my play for next year strategy
-
Responsibility? We're responsible for our opponent's roster being legal? That can't be right. If my opponent ha an illegal roster and I don't notice but it comes out a couple weeks later, it should still be corrected. The responsibility falls solely on each team to be legal. Given how often teams are illegal, that's not a weekly obligation I'm willing to take on.
-
Juan still has Markakis on the dl when he's been active since right after the asb. While I'm in favor of having a few days to fix a roster for DL trips, he's had an illegal lineup for a few days and then the last 2 full weeks (both Ws). Seems those should be reversed.

We should fix W-L records today so the draft order is correct

I guess Marlon Byrd's ties with BALCO/Conte weren't as clean

that would be awful Yeah, I like the taste of food. What if the pills tricked us into tasting like amazing tasting food while at the same time being really healthy? you all are going to turn into huge blueberries -
First time, he was coming off TJS and a 6+ ERA. The second time, he would be coming off a league leading ERA among starters and on a team with a lack of starting pitching. The point isn't even whether or not there would be significant consequences. If you want to turn your organization into one of the premier franchises, it's probably not best to act like a petulant child. he said the cubs should do what's best for them and he'll do what's best for him. If the cubs think giving younger guys some starts on a dead-end team is the best thing for the team, Dempster can't do crap about getting put in the pen. The union would have no leg to stand on either. "Hey, I turned down a trade to a contender after originally telling the FO that I'd accept a deal to that team and b/c of that, the FO couldn't get decent value for me, so they put me in the bullpen and now I'm less valuable. Can you, um do something?"
-
My comment isn't directed at Dempster. My comment is directed at stupid rumors that fly around so easily on twitter where no one seems to give a crap if they have any credibility as long as they're first once.
-
uh - I believe you missed at least three uses of floyd, including the climactic scene lighting the flame. I stopped watching during the march of nations or whatever. kids went to bed and we're watching the rest tomorrow. So you decided to rant about them not using a band before hearing all of the music they played? After hearing the "british music" part, yes. And I was wrong, so, yay you? Classic
-
Again I didn't closely examine each roster and the circumstances surrounding each player. I just counted and those 3 teams jumped out so I looked at their transactions.
-
I'm not sure who is doing the "jumping all over" but I just spent 5 minutes counting players on each team's page and posted here. Since Karen doesn't really check in (and I pm'd and emailed her and she ignored me), I'm guessing she's never going to fix her lineup. I don't think she's been active since trying to draft the #2 overall pick in the amateur draft with her 2nd round prospect pick. I don't know how Chuck couldn't know he was over the limit for 2 months, but even if he didn't, he still has to be penalized. he still got a benefit that helped him win and hurt the rest of the league for 2 months. what's the point of rules if someone can say "oops" and there's no punishment? Again, no one is asking to stone violators in the public square. We're just asking that the rules be enforced. Why does that make us the bad guys?
-
Twitter is stupid for baseball trade rumors
-
Since we struggle so much, maybe it would be good to remind people about prospects getting called up. I didn't check rosters but a lot of prospects are in the majors and will be approaching the limit to retain prospect status. Maybe a heads up in the next couple of weeks could avoid more roster problems.
-
Also D-block has an extra guy on the bench. Likely forgot about the waiver claim this week but he didn't drop anyone when he added Lowrie. So he was one over. Then added Drew and dropped Lowrie so he's still one over.
-
According to transaction history Chuck has been illegal since his May 20 trade with Tim (he added 3 MLB players but traded away 1 MLB player and 2 prospects and dropped another MLB player: net gain of the 1 extra guy he's had until Wednesday). He should lose 100 points this week, his win against tim in week 15, his win against truffle in week 12, Theo in week 11, lynx in week 10, and brian in week 8. Also Karen has 3 RPs in her lineup. Looks like she's had 3 RPs since June 4 though I'm not sure if they've all been active or in her starting lineup. She at least needs to lose her points this week. If just having 3 RPs on your roster is illegal, she should lose her wins since week 10 I think. This is a mess.

Dempster at 12.5M for 2013 is worth far more than a "small return" Yeah Kyle has lost his mind apparently
-
CB gets rodelo's 3rd in the prospect draft for Hughes
-
Maholm- available for a good draft pick or high prospect pick Hughes- available for a late pick Rasmus- available for a mid-round pick or prospect pick De Aza - still exempt so a good draft pick Putz/Marmol- yours for the taking CJ - I'm not actively shopping him but getting offers for him. He's available but it's going to be expensive (top prospects and picks)
-
Now I don't have soriano either. But I have a draft pick. CB gets Alamo's 8th rounder.
-
Can we sign Garza long term for cheaper now?
-
But you don't have temporarily great players like Soriano.
-
He's probably been in dempster's ear about how terrible Atlanta is. Quit meddling, dirtbag.
