    Besides the possible Ichiro trade (there is no way thats true) have you guys heard of anything. Last minute bench options or other trades?

    That amount of money is ridiciulous for him, but hey Gil Meche got 10 a year so with this free agent market nothing is crazy.

    I think there are two kinds of closers: Good ones and guys who have good seasons. Good ones are guys like Rivera, Gagne, Smoltz (also an outstanding starter), Wagner... Guys who have good "seasons" are guys like Dempster, Kolb, Tim Worrell (Giants). The trick is realizing when you have a good pitcher and when you have caught lightning in a bottle. I see what your saying as well, but I also think Dempster still has some possible hope to be a good closer. Not a great one but a servicable 1 like 30 svs a season at best.

    One year pact with the devil. Seriously that's what I was trying to say! It's insane that someone can do something like that

    What happened to him in the year when he did like amazing? Ever since he has either sucked in the majors or been like dropped into the minors. Was he on like roids or something? anybody know?

    I feel that Harang for his park is an ace, but on alot of other teams he would be a decent number two starter. The Reds are horrible and hes a pretty decent starter that looks great on a horrible staff.

    I think I would prefer ARods next 5 yrs to Z's, but that is just me. I think it is more likely that Z will break down and not be worth the money he is likely to command. I agree, especially if the other pitchers do well. Same here. Nobody should be "untouchable" on this team right now. Carlos Zambrano is an "untouchable" in my books. Just like how Johan Santana should be considered an "untouchable". You dont trade a staff ace. So if you were Terry Ryan, and got offered Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore, Jhonny Peralta, and Adam Miller for Santana, you wouldn't do it? Declaring anybody untouchable is just bad business. If you can get more value in a trade, you make the trade. It's that simple. To say you wont make the trade because a player is "untouchable" for some archaic reason is asinine. Rob is completely right. I do agree that neither Santana or Zambrano are untouchable. But, come on if you got some insane deal like with what rob mentioned you couldnt pass it up. With the team you already have a the addition of those players you would have trade bait to pick up another pretty decent starter (not Santana good, but good)!

    Though I would love to have a-rod I think the chances are slim to none. I can see him going to somewhere like the Dogers before he would come to play for us. Its a money thing which I think Hendry is still to catious about.
