  1. Well, I hope Lou doesn't overabuse the pitchers because frankly it's a topic I hate talking about it.
  2. Sean Salisbery is already calling for a Colts win, unless someone "gets hurt" before the game. I hope they all doubt the Bears it seems to light a fire under them. GO BEARS!!!!!!
  3. One of my first memories in sports was Ryne's postseason against the Cards and the '85 Bears. If our Cubs won't do it for me..........I'll take a Super Bowl. Note: I checked eBay for tickets..............wow, I'd pay a pretty penny to go to Miami, but Jesus Christ man! Tickets are selling for upwards of $12,000. Amazing. I may just fly down and find a bar close to the stadium.
  4. How sweet it is as a Bear fan!!!!
  5. Z's agent is Barry Praver. I also like the idea of a front loaded contract. Why not just reverse the money amounts on Zito's contract and call it a day.

  8. ESPN bottom line is reporting LaRoche for Gonzalez AND a PTBNL.

  10. The great part to me is that all these writer are going to vote Bonds in, I guarantee it. And their argument is going to be that he was a HOF before the "steriod" numbers. My argument to that would be that Pete Rose was a HOF too before he gambled. What doesn't get talked about here is what if Mac or Sammy didn't do steriods? What if they just took supplements and worked their respective arses off to be muscular? Mac always hit HR from the day he walked on to a MLB field, so if he took roids it was probably from the very beginning. Sammy gradually got more powerful, it's not like he hit 4 HR and they he hit 90. When he went on his tear, he laid off the slider down and out alot better, he had better pitch recognition, and he was just overall a better hitter. Anyway, my point is this........ WHAT IF Sammy and/or Big Mac didn't use. How much of an injustice would be done?
  11. Or, would you not entertain an offer that didn't knock your socks off because he's still a great pitcher when healthy. I'm not convinced that we've seen the best days of Prior. He's a guy that can have great success, but he's got to get past the injury bug and be consistant. It's alot of IFs, but in my mind it's less Ifs then a prospect poses.
  12. I agree. Z is one of the few guys I'd endorse going 7 years with and I wouldn't mind paying Zito money for. Assuming the market, Z might be a bargain in 2010.
  13. You have to remember that Hendry signed a guy like Lilly for 10M/per. I know he values Z and I really have no doubt that Z will sign an extension. You also have to remember that this management wanted to bring back Maddux to "right a wrong" from the past. I don't think they'll let Z walk.
  14. Z will eventually sign an extension in the 5 yr/ 17 million per range.
  15. And Happy Holidays!
  16. The Angels and Rockies have resumed discussing a Todd Helton deal more than 2 1/2 weeks after talks originally broke down. The Rockies weren't going to pick up enough of the $90.1 million Helton is owed over the next five years to get a deal done the first time. However, it's GM Dan O'Dowd who got the ball rolling again, offering to eat a little more salary and take a lesser third player than Jeff Mathis. The Rockies would want both Casey Kotchman and Erick Aybar in a trade, but that probably won't be a sticking point. A trade still seems like a bit of a long shot. Even if all of the hurdles are cleared, Helton could use his no-trade clause to block a deal. Dec. 22 - 12:29 pm et Source: Los Angeles Times http://www.rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines.aspx?sport=MLB
  17. Can you sign a 12 HR contract with a player? [/sarcasm]
  18. Are we just going in order of standings, or are we picking again? Maybe this has been decided already, but I missed it.
  19. Well, welcome to the club!!! :lol:
  20. You're not in la-la land. That was discussed, but decided against. I think not adding the second utility spot was part of the process of evening out the pitching and hitting points. I wouldn't mind the 2nd utility if we had one IF and one OF.

    Keepers

    Here's my keeper thus far. I'm still working on a couple deals though, so it could change. Majors: Lance Berkman (620.5) Miguel Cabrera (590) Jason Giambi (537.5) Hideki Matsui (161.2) Jorge Cantu (exempt) Carlos Zambrano (561.95) Bobby Jenks (exempt) Jonathan Broxton (exempt) Chris Ray (exempt) Takashi Saito (exempt) Total: 2471.15 Minors: Jay Bruce Chris Iannetta (exempt) Kala Kaaihue Blake Dewitt Hunter Pence Fernando Martinez Felix Pie Jordan Tata (exempt) Luke Hochevar Evan Longoria
  22. Anyone who has points and is looking for players. I have: Mora Renteria Mike Gonzalez Pedro Martinez (who will be on the cheap this offseason and probably next year as well.) I'll take draft picks, I'm pretty close on points right now.
  23. HBC trades Ichiro, Pettite, and Clevlen to NC Cubbies for Hideki Matsui.
