I didn't read previous pages so don't yell at me, but if I'm in charge of a team, can I be in another team's war room? If so, I want to be in the Titans war room with you, dew. Once we get all the teams covered, would we start this right away or wait til a bit closer to April. Didn't the last two years we hold it in March-ish?
-
Also, why isn't Cedeno mentioned? Do the Padres not want him? Granted he's still young and talented, but with the signing of Miles and possible signing of Uribe mentioned in another thread, he's gotta go somewhere.
-
Vitters is highly rated but hasn't shown much yet and is a few years away. Olson isn't much of a loss and neither is Stevens. Hart isn't that good, and we have Soto and other catchers in the system like Clevenger so losing Castillo doesn't hurt too much. Overall, we're not giving up too much outside of Vitters.
-
.........what? If we sign Uribe I'll be pissed. I won't mind Hinske though, and he'll probably come cheap.
-
Not a horrible signing, though I don't know how good he was last year.
-
Ha, awesome.

Thinking about creating a similar site to MLBTR.com

Yeah, Dierkes has done a pretty good job at making it legit. He posts links to all rumors, and they usually come from actual sources like beat writers for newspapers. -
Is no news good news?

I'll take the Vikings since dew already has the Titans. Though, that was basically a given.
-
Can we hurry this up?
-
That's a good deal for the Padres. He's better than Ausmus, who they wanted more. I'm surprised he signed this quickly but I wish him well.
-
If that's all it takes, I'd do it yesterday. Losing Vitters sucks, but it's basically a given he'd have to go in a Peavy trade.

Jeff Kent hanging it up, reportedly

Good career, even if he was a total dbag. I was also sad when he surpassed Sandberg's career HR by a second baseman. -

I just heard from a friend today about this. Is there a super-mute I can use? Mute was okay for Morgan but I doubt it can handle him and Phillips at the same time. -
Ha, Mike Stanton.

He could have. You have to admit its at least suspicious that he is acquiring the exact players that SD wanted in a Peavy trade. My guess is Hendry sees value in them so he doesn't mind keeping them, but his intention was to acquire them with the hopes of restarting the Peavy discussions, realizing that Towers is likely in a hard place and will eventually revisit things. My guess is that there have been no talks since the last round ended after the meetings, but hendry is well aware of the Padres situation, needing to shed payroll and how bad Peavy wants to be a Cub, so hes trading players who dont have a future with us and stocking up on young pitchers who could potentially interest Towers for when/if talks resume. Yea, that sounds about right. Towers is probably right about them not talking since the Winter Meetings. But Hendry knows what's going on and is setting himself to jump in if/when Towers calls him back and asks to reopen talks. However, we also need to think Hendry wanted these guys in case no trade for Peavy takes place.

Am I ignorant for not knowing who Starlin Castillo is?

Olson indeed has 1 option to use if they need it. I doubt he becomes the 5th starter after his dismal year last year. They'll likely either send him to AAA to start and wait for a pitching injury or let him acclimate to the majors in the bullpen. His upside is probably around Marquis (or maybe slightly better) but to get close to him this year would be a very nice step forward for Olson. I think his upside is better than Marquis, but if he can post Marquis-like peripherals this season, it would be a positive. He's still young enough to grow into a #2-3 starter.
-
My big hope is that somehow Hendry can get Peavy without giving up Vitters. It's a nice thought, but it's highly doubtful. We wouldn't have enough to give up without Vitters in the deal.

Ha David Akers is doing his best to personally blow this game.
-
Wow, that's a blown call.
