    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2851544 SAN FRANCISCO -- A former employee of the New York Mets has pleaded guilty to distributing steroids and human growth hormone to dozens of major league players between 1995 and 2005, several media outlets are reporting. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/27/AR2007042701332.html?hpid=topnews Kirk J. Radomski, a personal trainer who said he worked for the Mets from 1985-95, agreed to cooperate with the group led by former Sen. George Mitchell that Major League Baseball appointed to investigate drug use in baseball, as part of a plea deal accepted at the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California Friday by Judge Susan Illston. Parrella said Radomski was a batboy, clubhouse assistant and equipment manager for the Mets. No Major League Baseball players were identified in the court filings associated with the case, but names and paragraphs of text were redacted from the federal search warrant affadavit filed in December 2005. The affadavit listed 23 checks worth more than $30,000 that federal investigators alleged were deposited by individuals associated with Major League Baseball into Radomski's personal bank account between May 2003, and March 2005.

    That's actually a great call. I'm kinda feeling that also... I would like that feeling.

    I would also send Ronny down. Lou won't stand to only have one utility IF for long, so one of the OF's will have to be moved. At that time, then I hope they pick Fontenot over Cedeno, and have Fontenot and Izturis on the bench at the ML level with Ronny as the starting SS at Iowa. I don't understand why they don't just send Murton down now, even if it's just until they get a chance to trade Jones. He's worthless on the bench and it's killing his value and learning curve. Ronny has a little upside, but I don't think enough so that it's worth sending him to AAA. I think his best value to the team is as a cheap utility man. I'd be all for the release of Izturis, if he can't be traded, and calling up Fontenot. But none of this is going to happen.

    um why? DFA Izturis and get someone useful on the bench. Fontenot can at least get on base. There is no reason for Izturis to be on this team when Ronny can be just as bad for so much less. Even if you sink the cost of Izturis, you are helping the team by removing him from the roster. You're probably right, I just don't have the energy to fight that battle. Getting a young kid with the potential to do better actually in the starting lineup has temporarily satisfied my appetite. Way to strive for mediocrity newbie. I'm just hoping they contend within the division. Back to back to back .500 seasons would be great. contending within the division is like cold emotionless sex. that makes me hot

    Lndry please. Though wouldn't be upset about getting any of those guys. Landry please. I don't want Quinn at all, and I don't really see the point in picking Peterson. I want Benson to get a chance. Peterson, in my opinion, is just a waste of cap space when we could've landed a position that we needed. Yeah, I didn't see the point in drafting Benson when they did, and now that he's lined up to be the starter, I don't see the point again. Although I would like to see a mid round back taken.

    Wow, AAA? Well, if you're going to send him to AA what are you going to send Cedeno to, rookie ball? I don't know about you, but I'd send Ronny to O'Hare to pick up ARod. Then I'd give him Imran John duty.

    When do we next face a left-handed starter? Until Floyd gets hurt I expect Murt's back will serendipitously unstiffen whenever the Cubs are due to face a LHP, then just as quickly restiffen when a RHP is next. Isnt there a medical condition that exists from lack of muscle use? atrophy?

    Don't be fooled, Hendry has decided no such thing. The biggest thing in favor of Izturis being gone is the likelihood of new management making decisions. If Hendry returns I would not be surprised at all to see Izturis extended, let alone having the option picked up.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Izturis's defense isn't good enough to warrent that kind of offensive liability. The least they can do is give Theriot some time out there to prove his critics wrong.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    That's true. Every day he has no value.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    As a chicago fan who doesn't live in chicago, I disagree. Just going to the papers' individual sites is much better.

    The most obnoxious smack talk of the year thus far was, "I like my chances." That's a bad thing? There's nothing worse than fantasy smack talk.

    I don't even know what I want to have happen tomorrow. All I do know is I want the offensive line to be upgraded. Since they don't really need a starter to come in right away, they can get away with waiting for later rounds. But ideally I'd like to see both a guard and a tackle selected at some point, and preferably a guard who is capable of handling center duty. Plus, it would be cool to have more than 4 picks in the first 4 rounds.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    If the ultimate goal is to trade down, I would bet that it does.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Insider just feeds off stories from the local papers. Since most chicago papers were reporting Theriot was going to be the shortstop for now, I'm betting ESPN just tweaked the headline to be much more dramatic. But I doubt Izturis is actually about to leave the team.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Because if it's fake, then that game simply becomes another random game. It's like if you suddenly said that Kirk Gibson wasn't hurt when he hit that home run for the Dodgers-it still would be a big home run, but the fact that he was hurt while doing it made it much more memorable. But we know Schilling was hurt. The amazing thing was that he pitched at all. The question is whether blood actually soaked onto the sock, not whether or not it was a great performance following an impromptu surgery. And all evidence suggests it was real anyway.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Dont' see how, with projectible points clearly in your favor.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    I really wonder what they would do with that pick. Quinn won't be there...he's gonna go to Cleveland. It's probably too high to get Landry. I don't see us taking another running back in Petersen... Trade back with Dolphins if Quinn drops? That would make the most sense. I don't think the Bears want to stay at #6. Nine isn't much better (as far as having to pay out a cheaper contract), but the extra pick I'm assuming they'd pick up would make it worth it. I think we could see a case of the Bears picking BPA at 9, and then overdrafting a couple players at 31 and 37 so they can get some relief with their salaries. Maybe reaching on a LB like Durant at 31, though there are rumors he could go to the Colts at 32. And maybe reaching for a safety at 37. But in order to get to 9, they presumably have to get the 6, and in order to get the 6, they have to give up 31. Right? In theory, they would do this: Briggs and 31 for 6, then 6 for 9 and a mid round pick. That leaves them with 9, 37 and then a bunch of mid rounders.

    He was, and is, a victim of negligent management.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think they could trade him. The cap hit would be huge.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Where does $10m come into play?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    there is no way, even if he comes back next year and pitches insanely, that he would win in arbitration after submitting a $10m figure. Perhaps not, but it is possible that if the Cubs don't tender him, and he becomes a free agent this offseason, that somebody would be prepared to give him that much in 2009, assuming a nice showing late next season.

    But the fact is Dusty abused his guys more than any manager abused theirs. Lots of them are bad. But Dusty is the worst.
