It ran out of Charmin.

All the best to you and yours!!

Mark, I am willing to go through with this deal if you are.

From Naples Daily News: http://www.floridacubs.com

I know, I just find it odd. They have Quentin, Rios, and now Andruw Jones, so they were then looking for a DH such as Matsui, Vlad, or Thome. I guess they could put Pierre in left with Rios in center and between Jones and Quentin, they have their RF and DH. Pierre will most likely play LF and leadoff with Quentin moving to RF and Rios playing CF. If KW makes no additional moves A.Jones and Kotsay will share the DHing duties. I still think KW has another move in him for an OFer so Quentin can be the fulltime DH.

The Arizona Republic reports: With the Cubs expected to decide on their future spring-training home by January, Mesa is spending $750,000 to improve the team's facilities at Fitch Park. The City Council next week is expected to approve spending up to that amount for two 5,000-square-foot buildings that will each accommodate two covered batting cages. Mayor Scott Smith said the Cubs and Mesa have been talking about the batting cages for a couple of years, before Naples, Fla., began its efforts to lure the team away.

As a baseball fan I would love to have another minor league option here during the summer and another major league option in the spring. \:D/ As a White Sox fan it would be pure hell having the Twins and Cubs within 30 miles of me. ](*,)

Bump.

Why wouldn't the Angels just deal with the Padres directly for Gonzalez? Why would the Angels want Konerko? Why would they give up the type of prospect needed to land Gonzalez for him? Beckham will not be traded. The only thing that I can think of is the Angels are getting more from the Sox than just Konerko (or paying a portion of his salary). Also realize this "trade" was started on a WSox fan website.

....if any one is trying to reach me for whatever reason I won't be available. My home computer picked up some sort of virus :rant: and until I get it fixed I won't be online at home.

Spring is dry season here.

Nice! :good: It ain't over till it's over.

Plus you have to figure Dayan Viciedo will fit in there somewhere at some point. I believe Viciedo will play 1B once Konerko is gone or he'll be the DH. As for Teahen, he should play 3B and hold it down until Brent Morel is ready in 2011/12. Move Beckham back to SS and Ramirez back to 2B. I really don't want Beckham working another new position but work on his hitting in ST.

Vero Beach is a small beach community without much development. Collier County and Lee County have a population of close to 900,000.

Mark Teahen, RF KC News: According to various reports, the Royals have agreed to trade outfielder/third baseman Mark Teahen to the White Sox for second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman Josh D. Fields. Analysis: Teahen figures to be the White Sox's everyday third baseman, perhaps with Gordon Beckham moving to shortstop and Alexei Ramirez going back to second base full time. Teahen's mediocre power numbers would get a boost with the White Sox, who have a much more hitter-friendly park. Teahen is a late-round flier in mixed leagues, albeit a tad more intriguing than before. Getz and Fields have opportunities to start for the Royals at second and third, respectively, but they will have to beat out some returning players first. Consider them sleepers in deeper AL-only leagues heading into spring training with the Royals.
