    And your post is any better? He just posted that because when I first posted it, I had just heard it on the radio and hadn't yet found a link. I edited later. Cut him some slack, he's got to eat Thanksgiving dinner through a straw. actually i just coped garwilly's "im a dick" post out of transactions from yesterday Hah, my bad. Haven't been around enough lately to catch the reference, I guess.

    Well, it's up on http://www.sportsline.com/mlb as a breaking news alert. Haven't found a story yet.

    Classic case of overrating another team's player and undervaluing your own.

    Money not being a factor, it would be a push. With money being a factor, the farmhands win out by a longshot.

    Meh. I don't see a big deal. Braun is more deserving, IMO.

    You want Kaz??

    No fair, you stole my comparison before I had a chance to use it. Infante could be a worthwhile gamble, but does anyone else think his value isn't quite at what Jones' is? Please explain to me how Infante is anything like Barrett? Barrett's bat wouldn't play at a corner infield postion and he was athletic enough to move to catcher. Infante's bat isn't even that good for a middle infielder and he's played some in CF. I don't see the comparison. The comparison has nothing at all to do with defense or the positions they play. That what has it do with? Their bats.

    he is definitely growing, but he has some work to do as far as shot selection. he has to resist chucking up an 18 footer just because his defender is playing back What he really needs to do is to develop that shot. I bet you they are encouraging him to take those. He probably hits them all day in practice. Once he gets (if ever) that shot down and the defenders have to respect it, the floodgates are open to superstardom.

    It is still not a benefit. He isn't playing for free. I really cannot understand this. Baseball shouldn't be a fraternity club. It might help Fukudome transition better. If it's for a few pennies, why not. if its 3 years 12 mil...jim hendry's probably murdered before sundown, unfortunately. What do you mean unfortunately? Poorly worded. He was referring to the contract.

    Am I the only sicko that noticed the subtle differences in the shaping of the infield/dirt area? The area around home plate is more circular, whereas it used to be a straight edge in front of home plate. Also, the cutoff areas by the bases are rounder and smaller. Nothing major. I'm just a loser like that.

    It probably helps that with each year, we're a year closer to the end of that deal. FWIW, I dislike him a lot less than I did when we first signed him too.
  18. David
    While you might have a point in that they are unlikely to reach 800 runs next year, this is a pretty stupid reason to use as support for your argument.

    Heyman lists us as one of the chief pursuers, but I just don't see it happening. Not unless you are going to give up Hill, Pie, Marmol, Cedeno, and Gallagher. Probably the same package for Cabrera. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd give that up in a heartbeat, particularly if, like Meph suggested, we got a window for extension talks. The only player I'd even miss significantly is Marmol (who is really just a reliever) and maybe Pie.

    Is Matsui even that much of an improvement over Theriot? I want to improve at SS, but that would actually involve improving. How has Matsui done outside of Coors?

    What if you could use the extra 12 million to get Fukodome/JD Drew (just an example). So you would have Soriano and Fukodome/Drew for 30 million compared to A-rod for 30 million. ARod and Murton for 30.5 million.
  22. David
    I approve, as well.

    I'd actually be really interested in hearing what Will Carrol might know about Prior's situation right now. He seems to be pretty spot on in these cases.
  24. David
    Problem is, this wasn't a slam dunk surgery. It was exploratory. Who knows if it will be successful or not. It started out as exploratory, they found a bunch wrong (what a surprise), and from all reports, were able to fix everything up nicely.
  25. David
    I think this is a difficult situation. If Prior doesn't want to accept the 20% pay cut of (does anyone know what his salary is?) he can refuse. Isn't that a lot of money to spend on a guy that won't pitch for 2008? I'm guessing 3.75 or so. Huh? Isn't it possible that he won't pitch in 2008? I think it's quite possible. Possible. It seemed like you were stating it as fact, which would've been news to me. Seems unlikely, though, unless he just flat out has some major complications in his recovery from surgery, in which case it probably would be time to completely give up on him. Otherwise, he's slated to pitch competitively early next season (not opening day, though). To me, it's just a question of how well he'll pitch and what kind of stuff he has. I'd be interested in seeing how long it took Carpenter to get his stuff back after he started pitching again.
