7 million team option for next year (no buyout, arbitration eligible otherwise), FA after '09. -
PAP is Pitcher Abuse Points, a metric from BP. Marshall and Gallagher are strong insurance policies if Hill can't get the magic back.
-
Brewers acquire CC Sabathia!

Terrified, mortified, petrified, stupefied, by you. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48875 -
Buy low on Burnett, hope Hill has turned a corner. Best case is Zambrano/Dempster/Burnett/Lilly/Hill forming the deepest rotation in the game. Worst case one of Dempster/Burnett/Hill should be very strong to complement Z in the playoff rotation.

I'm really glad it wasn't called now, but didn't it look like that ball hit Fukudome in the foot?
-
"What was my time, coach?" "I'm sorry son, I don't have a sun dial."
-
Is Quade drunk? I forgot Fukudome was behind him, even worse.
-
Lost a foul ball in the sun, it bounced on the dirt 10 feet in front of him.
-
Jacob McGee? Lewis Rollins? It's times like these I wish I had bought the BA Prospect Handbook. Looking through the Rays affiliates, Jeremy Hellickson had an 83/5 K/BB ratio in 76.2 IP at High A. That's not a typo.
-
Typical Cubs/Cards tilt. Do blowouts ever happen when these two teams play. I think I remeber a game in 98 where the Cards scored a bajillion runs in the first inning but that's about all I can remember. We were blowing them out the one year up 8 I think and proceeded to lose on Pujols' 3rd bomb. Taguchi of all people went deep too, what an awful game that was.
-
Wonder what the gameplan is here. I say go with Cotts thru Ankiel, then Gallagher through at least Molina.
-
Great at bat by Theriot, good job of wearing down Perez in his second inning of work. Remember that if Lee or Ramirez get big hits.
-
Perez is a power right hander, he's more likely to mow down Johnson, or worse, induce a double play ball. It was nicely placed and gave him a chance at a hit, so it's not too terrible a move.
-
Who does he replace though? He's not better than Quentin, Drew, Bradley, or Sizemore.
-
How coincidental that DeRosa is the one to get beaned when he finally leads off an inning.
-
He was awfully close though, and could've short hopped it if he just missed. Can't blame him either way, IMO. Attaboy Marshall, way to bear down
-
He missed the glove, but it was over the plate around the knees, it looked like a strike to me. Gah, Geo.
-
Seriously, the only thing worse than how Johnson handled that was how terrible Mather looked trying to catch it.
-
Shannon's probably too sloshed to remember.
-
Gallagher
-
Oh man, Hardy + LaPorta for Sabathia would be amazing. The downgrade from Hardy to Escobar alone would negate much of what Sabathia would add.
-
Looks like it, the Red Sox only got 6. EDIT: I may have lied, they haven't done AL Relievers yet.
-
Well that lineup doesn't make any sense at all.
-
Why would chipper opt out? Injury? Yeah, he's been in and out of the lineup for like a month.
-
Ramirez will get in if Chipper opts out, which has a decent likelihood of happening. I bet you see Marmol on the last man fan vote, they put several non-closers on that ballot last year.
