158/180. Not bad, although I spent the last minute trying to remember how to spell Grudzielanek. Besides him I got everything from 03 on and really all the big names before that. 1991 and 2000 were my worst years with three missed each year. It must mean that I am getting old if I can vividly remember those early 90's teams.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the GlennAllen Hill rooftop shot back in 2000. Me and a couple friends were just talking about that one the other day, what a shot! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3017957919029122909#docid=-5420529321900967793

LOL, he was always an interesting character. Not that anyone cares, but he actually pitched for my home town independent team (Sioux City Explorers) for awhile back in the mid 90's. If I remember correctly he sorta sucked his last year here. Has he been pitching in obscurity for all these years, or did he retire and is now coming back?

google "shocker" (aka Shock her) :blush: lol, I wondered what she was doing. As for the trade, I think that Baltimore will be a good landing spot for Hill and a place that will allow him to work through his problems (hopefully he can). As for the PTBNL, if Hill does indeed return to his 07 form (unlikely as it may be), would we be looking at a top 10 type prospect?

Sad that it has come to this, especially considering his value a year ago. I highly expect to get a no-name low level minor leaguer that will never amount to anything, which is a far cry from last year when we could have possibly got someone like Roberts.

That was my first reaction, but it was obviously baseless speculation, otherwise Uribe would have signed here and not a minor league deal with San Fran.

Wow that is interesting, but there had to be something better available, right? I assume Font will be the starter and Miles will fill a utility role. I guess it's goodbye to Derosa.

Not sure if this was posted yet or not, but this confirms that the Cubs have talked with Furcal's people and have shown some interest. Clearly seems like he is a down on the priority list, but it's always interesting to hear who we are talking to. From Rotoworld btw.

actually it is probably more like 40%, unless prior is exempt from paying taxes like the rest of us. 40% of 15 million is still a lot of money for playing a game.

I don't think he has a ton a value at this point anyways.

That's correct. I think mlb.tv may have some spring games, but not Extra Innings. Today's game is actually on MLB.tv. I wish they would give you a free preview of it though, because it was terrible last year and I don't feel like wasting that much money again unless they improved it.

Just wanted to post so I was part of the 200's. :yahoo:

well I hope for their sake that it was a minor league deal with nothing more than a promise to give him an invite in ST.

Kirby Puckett??? How is he undeserving?
