  1. The Rangers gave up Mark Texeira (young 40 HR slugger, gold glover) and 2 of their best pitching prospects (which they dont have much of) to get their catcher of the future Coco is not a very good center fielder. That is reserved to Ichiro, Hunter, Jones, Beltran, and Ellsbury might be in the category by next season. Yes he has speed and makes unbelievable catches... but over the last 2 seasons he fas failed to hit above .270, has a poor K:BB ratio, 10-15 HR power at best. Tell me, how often is it for a starting player to lose his job to a rookie during the playoffs? To get Salty it would have to take a package like Coco, Masterson and another prospect Coco for Salty straight up? Jon Daniels here is your sign, wear it proud
  2. The Astros got nothing for Brad Lidge. Geary is a mid 30s reliever, Costanza if he has a career in the majors will just be as a bench player, and Bourn is a weaker version of Willy Taveras
  3. They dealt Hanley Ramirez (ROY, projecting to be Derek Jeter/Miguel Tejada). That trade brought us ace Josh Beckett (& Mike Lowell) and well he did some great things this past post season.
  4. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/110707dnsporangnotes.2cb3699.html Coco Crisp for Rangers catcher Gerald Laird?
  5. Commendable job done thus far by the Sox FO Picking up Wakefield's $4 million option Picking up Tavarez's $3.85 million option Resigning Schilling to incentive based contract that starts off at $8 million Really all they need to do now is choose between Arod and Lowell, tweak the bullpen & bench... theyll be all set for another playoff run
  6. rotoworld http://www.startribune.com/blogs/neal/?p=264 This "Twins insider" begins to talk about the prospect of signing Mike Lowell
  7. If Mariano leaves, the best option to take over closing would be the kid Joba
  8. 1 year incentive laden deal, not bad at all. He can help out the kids while he is at it. Perhaps Buchholz does start the year off in Pawtucket
  9. Eh the Moss call was bogus as well
  10. There is still the real possibility that Jorge Posada also leaves. The Yankees are believed to be offering him 3 years/$40 million, the Mets however are gearing up to go hard after him If Damon is traded for Crede, and Jorge resigns Melky Cabera cf Derek Jeter ss Bobby Abreu rf Joe Crede 3b Jorge Posada c Hideki Matsui lf Jason Giambi dh Robinson Cano 2b Andy Phillips/Shelley Duncan 1b
  11. If the Yankees take themselves out of the running for Lowell, it would then be down to Boston and Philly
  12. Phew what a comeback. 2 weeks till their next game will leave them with a lot of work to do
  13. Shhh
  14. lol Colvin gets penalized for spiking the ball "Hey thats not nice, time for a flig!"
  15. What a f***ing game by Colvin
  16. oh my f***ing god! 24-20 Im loving Welker and Faulk
  17. 20-17, great catch by Welker
  18. Missed opportunity. While Patriots were huddling up, Colts were frantically trying to replace players. If they hurried up, Colts could have been penalized for too many men on the field
  19. Pats get hosed again
  20. 20-10, 2 weeks off and they are matched up vs Buffalo
  21. Pats charged with a penalty for sneezing without using a tissue
  22. choke choke choke
  23. Agreed, Im not a big fan of Maroney's when it comes to short yardage, or when they are in the red zone. My type of running back is a bruiser who doesnt care if a guy is coming for him (a la Dillon). Maroney tries to make people miss, that wont work when the D Line is all bunched up aiming at you
