    People make too big of a deal about players going out after the games drinking.Players out at 2 in the morning is hardly a big deal when they are playing at night.Playing night games they probably leave the park close to 11 anyway.

    Although i'm not a Jones fan,I wouldn't make that trade.Theres no way i'd pay 6.6 of the 7.2 million hes owed. Floridas cost would be the league minimum for this year and next. Thats a nice deal for them. If the Cubs would have signed Jones for the league minimum instead of the 3/16, people wouldn't have come down on him so much. Hes not that bad an option as a 5th outfielder. When you do a salary dump and get nothing in return,you're not supposed to pay the salary too. Hopefully,closer to the deadline they can get a better deal from someone.

    Guess this explains why they were willing to sacrifice their 2nd - 4th round picks last year.

    Good article. I'm amazed that when a pitchers hurt,everyone points fingers.So,whose fault ,high school coach,Rigglemen,Baker,Kerry,someone else? Whoever you say ,you're only guessing...

    Its a shame Hendry didn't make the same offer.

    Lou also said "What the what the heck are we supposed to do? Ya know? I know what I would do.Ok.But we'll leave it at that." Wonder who thats directed at? I'm also wondering why Randy Bush had a press conference.

    Piniella : "I only have so many players that I can play.You know? And its about time that some of them start playing like major leaguers!Or, get some up somebody else in here that can catch a damn ball or can run the bases properly. Alright? Thats all I can say. "

    Are you sure about that ?They may be taking different routes,but their ending up at the same place. Eh, at least Hendry has done some things right. Those 2 have never done anything right as GMs. But I would say hes in that company. I would say drafting Channing Frye and Damon Stoudamire where both better than anything Jim has done. Oh come on, any GM would have taken Frye with that spot...and Isiah Thomas was a part of drafting Tracy McGrady, Mighty Mouse as you said and Marcus Camby. All good players but he was a VP, how much input do you know that he had? I'm sure it was a mutual decision, those were all easy choices at the draft spots they had. However, much better draft decision then Millen, even if you want to throw him out. And how has Jim Hendry done drafting?

    Marmol 2 K's in the 6th ! Time to send him down,Wade Millers ready.

    yeah that's the point... stop developing scrubs (note the common thread with those guys - horrible plate discipline) and actually get a minor league system that contributes talent onto the major league squad. Look at the team that's playing tonight, most of the players came from within or in trades for talent they developed (Beckett, Pierre) It all begins with the GM. He loves "toolsy" players and his scouts love "toolsy" players. How a guy like Theriot is on the team is by pure accident. Theriot was an accident.They moved him from short because of Luis Montanez.They moved him a level above Montanez,and made him a switch hitter.
