    All I'm saying is, some players, who really love where they play and want to stick around, are willing to act on more than just financial interest. Latest example of this would probably be Chris Carpenter. Drew's always moving from team to team for a guy with top-flight skills. Maybe it means nothing, maybe it does. Not shocking he didn't like where he played - some in the Dodgers organization including Coletti didn't like him.

    That's really not surprising, seeing as Soriano (Type A) also nets the Nationals a second round pick while Pierre (Type B) doesn't net the Cubs a second rounder.

    And the Contra Costa Times better be wrong, because 5 years/$55 million for Ted Lilly is hideous, no matter what the market looks like. You should be able to get Jason Schmidt for around as many dollars for one few year.

    we keep hearing it, but just never see any evidence of it. I know he's coming back from injury, but that has to be considered in projecting him. I know he was jerked around last year, but he still got 25 starts and was horrendous in the bigs and mediocre at AAA. Indeed, and that's considered when I said he rates Gooz too low. His ceiling is higher than any rookie or minor leaguer from last year, he was returning from 2.5 seasons on the shelf and showed glimpses of what gives him such a high ceiling during his struggles last season.

    Yeesh, UCLA was actually down 10 in the first half but pulled away for a 78-54 win over Cal State Fullerton. Arron Afflalo had 20 points and Lorenzo Mata grabbed a career-high 16 boards, but Darren Collison had his first subpar game of the season. Up next: #6 Texas A&M (who lost their first game of the year today to LSU) at Pauley on Saturday.

    I'm going to go ahead and start the Hindus for Church (But Not at the Expense of Angel Guzman) Group. Feel free to join me, but you can only be a Hindu if you were born one.

    Do you value Mr. BB himself Carlos Marmol anywhere near Hill? Hill is ready to go NOW. Marmol has great stuff but is still a year or two away IMO. Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Hill > Veal > Gallagher > Pawelek > Guzman > Marshall > Marmol > Ryu > Mateo You rate Gooz too low, imo. And no way would I rate Mateo ahead of Marmol. Being better than another player over the first 50 innings doesn't mean that player will be better the rest of his career.

Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Can Marmol play shortstop? He has a higher career OPS than Izturis. He used to be an outfielder, if memory serves me correctly. Wasnt he a catcher? Both.

    The Royals? Wow.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's had some defensive problems despite whatever ratings he got from the publications. Those certainly weren't big enough to move him to the OF, especially considering his rebound in the AFL. This looks like a case where the Cubs would like him to learn to play OF a bit because they expect DeRosa to block him at second base (meh) and want to get his bat up sooner than later.

    FoxSports.com reports that Jurgen Klinsmann will be named the U.S. national team head coach!!

    I'd do a Mateo for Church trade five hours ago.

    Great to hear!

    Doesn't sound like much. From the source of Rotoworld's blurb:

    If Maddux signs with the Padres, the Dodgers are expected to move to Lilly or Meche (along with Schmidt).
