    They can't trade Pelfrey until January 2007, since they only signed him earlier this year. So, this particular deal might not happen for another month at the very earliest.

    Why would the Pirates ask for Dunn in exchange for Duke when Dunn is owed a pretty substantial amount of money over the next few years? The Reds don't exactly have the budget to pick up a whole lot of Dunn's contract at the moment, iirc. I could see it if they were asking for Denorfia and prospects, but Dunn? Really?

    Aw geez, not this crap again.

    In other words, this deal will happen in the next 24 hours. ;)

    Congrats to Ryno! Hey, that'd be a really fun Q&A session to have! :D

    Single-A manager... obviously if that's the big news, then the choice is not going to be someone like Hector Villanueva. How dare you defame the name of one of the all-time greats!!!!! :evil:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, has the market come to this?

    Mitch Atkins and Sean Gallagher burned down Baseball America headquarters?

    I don't care for money as much as years unless one of these big money deals somehow precludes us from getting a big name star in the future. However, that is not the case this offseason, as the Cubs already scooped up the top FA (!) for the first time in what seems like forever. Lilly for four years and $9m per year sounds like a decent deal. I worry a bit about his age (31) and whether or not he'll be able to keep his ERA+ around his career level of 99. Perhaps the move to the NL will be a boon and he'll be able to stay healthy, but we'll see. I wanted a reliable innings eating starter and I think Lilly will fit the bill. The Orioles have some decent prospects (I like Nolan Reimold's upside), but I'm scratching my head over what good trading Jock would do this team for some one like Rodrigo Lopez. The Cubs have a glut of relievers and really do not need to add any more at this point. Moreover, as promising as guys like Loewen, Penn, and Bedard are, I can't see the Orioles parting with them.

    It would be, but Felix Pie is waiting in the wings if Lofton's production goes south.
  11. Outshined_One
    This thread will turn out well.

    Didn't the CBA extend the Rule V Draft Eligibility by a year?
  13. Outshined_One
    Man, that was a tough play to watch. So close, yet so far.
  14. Outshined_One
    Nice job tackling there Florida. Too bad the ball wasn't there when you got to him.
  15. Outshined_One
    Nice run.

    I take back my McFadden/Tomlinson comparison.

    im glad gary d. isnt doing big ten games anymore. vern is kinda cool. kinda like keith jax. Bill Simmons' latest column was right with regards to modern attitudes of announcers. These guys act like we're watching the game for them rather than for the game itself. There are some times these guys should clam up. My personal favorite is when they start crying about a penalty and the replay shows it was completely justified...so they either have to stand by it and look like tools or go back on it and equally look like tools. My personal favorite moment of that was when Sean Taylor spit on some one last year in the NFL playoffs and got ejected, only it was not clear at first that he hocked a loogy at the guy. Of course, Paul Maguire and Joe Theismann were going ape over him getting kicked out, talking over the ref who explained why he kicked Taylor out, and missing out on the explanation altogether. Good times, good times. Troy Aikman's varying definitions of pass interference says hi. Joe Buck's life story says hi.

    I think both teams are throwing the kitchen sink at each other in this game.

    I'm hoping Nebraska scores soon. Rutgers/WVU has been plodding so far and it'd be nice to have another good game to flip to.
  21. Outshined_One
    Whiny announcers annoy the hell out of me.
  22. Outshined_One
    That was a heck of a play.
  23. Outshined_One
    Well now, that was unexpected.
  24. Outshined_One
    I've said they were over rated all along. Louisville is the team that should be in the game vs Ohio State. If them why not Boise State. I'd pay to see that game. :D
  25. Outshined_One
    That was one of the best plays I've ever seen a defensive lineman make.
