    maybe Rich should change his first name to Carol

    classless

    is it really out of the ordinary to see scouts of different teams in the stands?

    injury maybe, crash back down to earth though? his peripherals have always been good, he just had a very bad year for giving up home runs in 2006, and it's not uncommon for pitchers with elite talent to make significant strides in their walk rate during their late 20s (see maddux, schilling, r. johnson). i think it's a very poor idea to write off last year as "fluky good." I don't consider last season to be "fluky", but I do think he pitched better than what he will in 08. He'd be phenomenal if he could get over his blister issues. this is true. he might be slightly worse this year, or he might be better, but even if he is slightly worse in 2008, he should still be a cy young candidate and one of the best pitchers in the game with that offense behind him. as for buchholz, he's got plenty of talent, but the chances of him outpitching beckett this year are very slim. Very true, that's why I added the "could" disclaimer. I like Buchholz a whole bunch, and I think it's very likely if Beckett misses any significant time.

    Lou's just pissed at Ronny

    I'd give it strong consideration. I think Beckett's in for an injury or crash back down to earth, and I think Buchholz alone could match his production. I'd peg Blanton for having a strong year, but that team around him doesn't look so hot. I'd look to move the other 3 in a separate deal.

    Who knows if Lou is still mad at Fox though. Fox got yanked out of the game immediately after one of his at-bats last August and never got another at-bat for the rest of the season. I'm not sure that he is going to get many chances with the team. Why, what happened to set Lou off? wasn't it hacking at the 1st pitch?

    Well, in their defense, he did multiply loaves and fishes. One doesn't drink red with seafood. whoa, whoa, whoa -- what kind of fish was it?

    If we can avoid another month I will be happy. Oh, cmon, we have to get this thread to 300 pages. I'm pretty sure the trade finally happening will push this over 300. In which there will probably be 3 pages just of people "SOTO" over and over again. shnsajax

    I wouldn't work very often if I had Billy Crystal's money
  12. Ding Dong Johnson
    did th Trib leave all the e's out of th too?

    and a lot that are clearly better -- that still makes him either a bad GM or a mediocre one at the very best

    People, people, people. Just because they make a movie with baseball as part of the plot, does not automatically mean you have to watch it. Angels in the Outfield? Rookie of the Year? Little Big League?
  15. Ding Dong Johnson
    I didn't figure Shingo would make the cut, but I thought he'd last closer to the end of Spring. Outside of that, no real surprises.
  16. Ding Dong Johnson
    Josh Donaldson
  17. Ding Dong Johnson
    that's why doctors make the big bucks
  18. Ding Dong Johnson
    yeah, he hasn't been swinging the bat worth a crap
  19. Ding Dong Johnson
    why are you suddenly assuming 4 Ks?
  20. Ding Dong Johnson
    Farnsworth for Novoaa and...What one crappy lefty? Scott Moore and Bo Flowers
  21. Ding Dong Johnson
    that would be a fantastic deal for a chubby guy like me if I lived anywhere near Oakland and had a desire to go to one of their games

    I also don't see them as being in the top 5
  24. Ding Dong Johnson
    ah yes, the age of 23 -- the all important time to put up or shut up in the major leagues

    Can a computer comprehend feistiness? I don't think so.
