  1. Are we done with Florida and Baltimore? Is that the new plan, ship everyone to San Diego?
  2. Sorry, Jimi. Gotta go with the Doors.
  3. I'm willing to bet the well will run dry at this point :wink: Wow, that was pretty bad. :lol:
  4. I told my buddy something similar: "you guys need arms much more than bats or gloves." Kip Wells? apparently Is this on the same level as Choi for Lee? :wink:

  6. Without consulting my Sox fans, I'm sure they had better do more than just Lugo to keep the fans from rioting.
  7. They also have Bobby Hill, Manny Alexander, and Ricky Gutierrez in AAA.
  8. There was a huge typo in the article. They accidentally said Todd Walker instead of Neifi Perez.
  9. Maybe they're unloading Vazquez and moving McCarthy to the rotation. Then again, there has to be better options than LaTroy.
  10. 1) your avatar scared the living crap out of me 2) Nobody is discounting Maddux possibly having a positive effect on our young pitchers, but the season is basically over. He's overpaid for his production and declining. We have a perfect opportunity to get something of value for him instead of just letting him walk. We'd have to offer arby to get draft picks for him, and I'm not sure that's a risk you want to take. Sentiment will get you 0 wins in 2007.
  11. He was traded to the Giants 7/30/01, and is now officially a 10/5 guy. Have there been any indications that he would be willing to accept a trade if it came down to the deadline?
  12. This is a case of quantity over quality. quantity is a quality Only if your quantity is quality.
  13. I'll be damned. You learn new jibberish every day.
  14. ARGHHHH WALKER DOES NOT HAVE A BAD GLOVE. I DONT KNOW WHERE THIS IDEA CAME FROM BUT IT NEEDS TO STOP. *Head explodes* It's true, he's not a good defensive 2B. True, but there's nothing structurally wrong with his glove.
  15. Please, Bill Pidto, please tell me we got Nomar! Edit: How many s's are in please?
  16. I don't want to see them do better. I think Coletti overvalues Maddux, and I hope he makes us happy because of it.
  17. a team in contention doesn't need inning eaters. that's about the lamest attribute a guy can bring any team, actually. They do if they have a weak bullpen. that's gonna have to be a really weak bullpen if you'd rather throw a guy with a 4.70 era out there for an extra inning instead of going to the pen. i've just never understood the fascination with inning eaters. can't anyone be an inning eater if quality is irrelevant? I recall some on this very board several months ago calling for a signing of Jeff Weaver because he was an innings eater. For the most part, I agree with you that it's a worthless quality by itself. However, Maddux's 4.70 ERA and the hopes that his wisdom will rub off on younger pitchers looks attractive to teams with guys in the bullpen sitting around that same 4.70 who are 25 and have only a year or so of time in the bigs.

  19. Of course they'll retire 42 -- it's already been done by MLB (Jackie Robinson).
  20. C'mon, Ned. He's still got plenty of gas left. Then again, who is evaluating these as "top" prospects?
  21. Who would have predicted that in April?
  22. Isn't that about what Pitt gave up to get him?
