  1. They may not be great pitchers, but he and Dempster bring some humor to the clubhouse.
  2. Never an official announcement:
  3. He's usually a pretty solid reliever, but I don't know if he was worth giving 3 years to.
  4. :lol: Seriously though, you wouldn't know it here. I mean, Cano has legit support for being highly touted, seeing as how he's been productive and all. But Melky isn't even better than Matt Murton, yet he's viewed as their best trading chip and the one guy they will consider dealing away for a hall of famer. I swear they pull this off every couple years, talking up somebody until everybody really believes that guy is worth something. Just another reason why you should start your young cheap players whenever possible, because you never know if somebody else is going to fall in love with them when they see them play. I know what you mean. I hate that the NY media and fans think Melky is some Godly center fielder only worth trading for a really big name.
  5. Why? This trade got even better for them with them now getting Morlan, IMO.
  6. I'm pretty sure you are correct. He was signed and then taken in the draft only a few weeks later. Edit: From Baseball Cube:
  7. Don't forget Fontenot, Dempster, and Koyie Hill. Overwhelm them with quantity!
  8. I wouldn't trade for him if we couldn't work out an extension with him.
  9. This seems like a good trade for both teams. The Twins could use help in the outfield, whereas the Rays haave plenty of young hitters but lack good young pitchers with the exception of Kazmir, Shields, Price and a few others. Rincon will help the Rays pen and Bartlett would be a stopgap for them, and Harris would be the same in Minnesota.
  10. I thought Richie fell off the face of the Earth. Where does he currently rank in the organization at catcher? And anyone else we may risk losing (and I know, anyone not on the 40 man but I want specifics :P )
  11. According to Rotoworld, the Nats signed about 20 minor leaguers, many of whom are AAAA players.
  12. Would have been a good deal for them, when he was actually good.
  13. If Hendry signs Matsui, and not Fukudome, there will be hell to pay.
  14. Hendry not signing a bad player is like South Park not being offensive. Never gonna happen. This deal has Jim Hendry all over it.
  15. The Dugout has turned to crap since leaving for AOL, but that one is awesomely funny. :lol:
