It was in the other thread, but going by value, Cameron has been worth 18M per year the last 2 years, 13M the last 8 years. Rowand has been worth 7M the last 2 years, 10M the last 8 years. Going forward, the difference in value between them makes it about the same to pay all of Bradley's contract and sign Cameron as it would be to trade Bradley for Rowand. If you get anything of value at all for Bradley(which is likely considering the rumored suitors and that he'd be completely free of salary) OR if you sign Cameron for less than 2/20 OR get a suitor for Bradley to take on at least part of his contract. Then you come out ahead. Furthermore, when you talk about a lesser outfielder(compared to Cameron) like Rowand, there isn't a huge dropoff between the likes of say, a Fuld/Johnson platoon, so it's another reason to stay away from his big contract. Oh, and signing Cameron would make it only a 2 year commitment, compared to 3 for Rowand.

No, he's not he only has a career OPS+ of 103. I'd rather get Carlos Pena and play him in RF. Maybe get Nick Swisher to play CF and SS. Crawford steals 50 bases a year at a good percentage and plays plus defense. He's been a Top 5 OF in MLB this year, and he's 28.

Oh god no. Lowe sucks and has an awful contract Derek Lowe is very good. Not sure it makes much sense to add him to this team though. I guess if you can add a guy of his talent while trying to give away Bradley that might be as good as you can get. Just trade him or Lilly or something afterwards.

Are you sure? Down here on the KU broadcast they claimed the same thing yesterday. Kansas only has 6 consecutive wins at the moment.

Ranting and raving about dumb things all the time doesn't prove you care, it just proves that you're not very bright.

Without question. Cameron is worlds better than Rowand, the overall financial expenditure would be about the same, and we only would have an obligation for 2 years. I'm glad you're not handling the finances for the Cubs. Let me get this straight, you're saying that for 2010-2011, you would rather spend approximately $18 million per year for Cameron to play CF than Rowand. Cameron is better, but not that much. I'll take Rowand with the Giants sending us money and/or a prospect. And then you're paying Rowand 12 million dollars in 2012. With Cameron at 2/20 you pay 19 million in 2010 and 22 million in 2011. You have Cameron(who has averaged 13 million dollars of value the last 8 years, 18 million the last 2 years) and the return from Bradley, whatever that is. You weight Cameron's performance and you're likely to get about 30 million of value + the value from the return for Bradley, in exchange for 41 million. The obligation is only for 2 years. With Rowand you pay 12 million in 2010, 12 million in 2011, and 12 million in 2012. You have Rowand, who has averaged about 10 million dollars of value the last 8 years, and only 7 million the last 2 years. You weight Rowand's performance and you're likely to get about 25 million of value in exchange for 36 million. The obligation is for 3 years. You're going to be overpaying by about 10 million no matter what, I'd much rather have the far superior player and the shorter time commitment.

Notre Dame was not ranked going into today's game. Iowa had more votes than Notre Dame in both polls.

STOP WASTING 2ND HALF TIMEOUTS Take a penalty if you have to, they are worth way more than 5 yards on a 2 point conversion.

The last 2 years the matchup has had similar hype, about how it would be a statement of Nebraska's return to the national scene. I'm going to have to see it in order to believe it, because while neither team is the same as previous years, I'm not sure the changes make up for the 5 touchdowns that Mizzou beat them by each of the last two years. Plus, Mizzou has done really well in big matchups coming off of bye weeks, and the game is in Columbia.

I still want to see Gabbert play against a team that's worth a ish before I jump on his bandwagon. (Sorry UI.) I was unimpressed vs Nevada, and I won't even bring up the Bowling Green game. Last night, all he was doing was tossing up jump balls. That won't fly in the Big 12. But yeah, our defense looked pretty porous today. Didn't give me a lot of confidence heading into the Big 12 season. I have a feeling the South teams are gonna light us up, just like last year. You'll get to see him light up Nebraska in about 10 days. YOu think you guys will win that game? Yes.

Arkansas just had 4 people have a free shot at Richardson and all of them missed.

That's what "the call stands" means. Otherwise he would've said "the call is confirmed".

Wow, horrible. Bill Lynch's freakout was incredible, though.

Frankly if anyone ever calls that again, it'll make the Bush Push that much more intolerable. No, I'm not over it. At least in that case Leinart was still on his feet and capable of moving into the end zone. Forcier was airborne with no hope of going forward.

The Michigan linemen threw Forcier into the end zone, I thought that was illegal.

His FIP as a Cub is 4.17 entering today.

Wittenmeyer's twitter was updating the "without Bradley" record almost daily in the first few days after the suspension.

People think that Pat Burrell would belong on the bench in that scenario.

Snead was 7 for 21 and 45 of his 107 yards came on that busted coverage touchdown.

Fowler with all the excitement of a librarian that the #4 team is going down.

You spend a whole commercial break getting a close view of a clear non-facemask and then you still claim it's a facemask?

Maybe South Carolina should practice catching the ball more often.

Sure can't wait for Mexico to end up in a pool with UAE, Siam, and Krakhozia so they stay in front of us in the seeding for the next 7 WC cycles.

I have a hard time seeing the Rays adding outfielders.
