  1. I disagree. Furcal is now the 2nd highest paid shortstop behind Jeter. He's going to make more money than Tejada next year. That's a complete joke. On a side note, how bad does it look now that we didn't put more effort into getting Tejada a couple of years ago??? :cry:
  2. Anyone else have a sinking feeling this was the Cubs??? Rotoworld:
  3. 13MM/ year versus longerterm security means its about the money... It's pretty obvious that it was always about the money. If it wasn't he would have re-signed with the Braves a long time ago.
  4. I'm still expecting Hendry to pull an Arod for Neifi deal... :pint:
  5. So 3 years and $39.5 milion got it done for the Dodgers. I have to say that I'm proud of Hendry for not going any higher. The Dodgers are insane offering Furcal that much money. I am a little worried about what Hendry has planned as his "Plan B" though. I guess we'll find out eventually.
  6. Ronsenthal is quoting the LA times there. :scratch:
  7. And the plot thickens... HAHA. This is awesome. I'm loving every minute of this crap.
  8. Any other news outlets reporting this yet?
  9. You have to figure that Hendry is on the phones with Florida right now throwing tons of prospects for Pierre, so we're definitely going to need a big bat in RF. I don't think Nixon/Mench can be considered this.
  10. How about locking this thing then. What a load of (bleep). Yes. Please lock it and make it a sticky to remind us of the joke that has been tonight. :D
  11. Well, I can see Henry getting into the Burnett deal now that he has all this free money laying around. Anyone for Burnett for $55 million?? :puke:
  12. HAHAHAHA. This has to be the best thread ever. Some guy comes on here claiming that Len PM'ed him about Furcal becoming a Cub and then 10 minutes later it's shot down by the LA Times. Gotta love message board rumors!!!!
  13. That would be me. Len told me earlier tonight that he's "100%" sure that Furcal is coming to the Cubs and it may not be announced until Monday. He is expected to sign mid-day Sunday. He also said Pierre is more than likely on the way. Welcome to the board! I daresay it's the greatest first post in history :) Has Len, perchance, mentioned what we would give up in a Pierre trade? Either that or his only post on NSBB... :lol:
  14. I'd have a tendency to believe AramisFan if he says he talked to Len over PM, actually. I agree. I can't imagine someone with over 1,500 posts on this board all of a sudden starting a bogus rumor. A lie like that would be like signing your own virtual execution papers. I must confess that I'm now worried about the terms of the contract with reports of $13m/year from LA. Question is, would Aramisfan be willing to stake his membership on NSBB for this??? :lol:
  15. Why would you want Wilson? The guy had a .299 OBP last year. Might as well put Neifi at SS.
  16. I don't think they've done anything so far. Cal Eldred retired and they declined the option on Larry Walker. Those are the only two things I see on their mlb transactions page.
  17. Excellent. If he signs with us, I owe everyone that actually believed it beforehand here a Coke. I'm serious. I'll mail everyone here a Coke if he signs here. That's a lot of cokes. Can I get a Cherry Coke if it happens? :lol: Only if 11 other people want a Cherry Coke. Make it a little easy on me. In all seriousness, it's pretty obvious Furcal is going where the money is. He's salivating at making $13 million a year.
  18. Excellent. If he signs with us, I owe everyone that actually believed it beforehand here a Coke. I'm serious. I'll mail everyone here a Coke if he signs here. That's a lot of cokes. Can I get a Cherry Coke if it happens? :lol:
  19. The only good thing about getting Mench is that he has much better numbers during day games than night games. That's all I got. :shrug:
  20. Offman on the Score just said Furcal would make his decision by sometime tommorow. At least there is an ending in sight to this saga.
  21. I just tuned in for a minute to see what they were saying. They were talking about how Zito could cause trouble in the clubhouse because he's "such a weirdo" because he does yoga and crap. They also were talking about how Dusty couldn't control Pierzynski when they both were in San Francisco. Last I checked Dusty wasn't the manager when Pierzynski played for the Giants. Morans!!!!
  22. This is the first time I've gotten to see Bush play. He's ridiculous. :shock:
  23. Well, the Score accomplished something. They got a couple more people to tune in to listen. :lol:
  24. Cedeno update from Rotoworld:
  25. For what it's worth, Levine was on ESPN 1000 this morning and said these were the offers on the table for Furcal: Dodgers - 3 years, $36 million Braves - 4 years. $32 million Cubs - 5 years, $47 million A little less that what's been reported. Taken with a grain of salt of course. He also said this whole fiasco could drag out into the winter meetings.
