One offhand comment, followed by a series of posts discussing what I said. If you want to address the lone comment, quote it. You seem to know how to use the quote function.

Reading. It's a good thing. You should try it. We were discussing the merits of Wily Mo Pena in CF.

I've seen lots of rumors about Andy being a skirt chaser.

You need to take that with a bowling ball sized grain of salt. Curt was in "great shape" and "feeling fine" heading into '05.

Wasn't one of the reasons Andy left NY to be closer to home? More specifically, didn't Andy have a habit of straying from the marital bed? I'm sure the wife will love this idea.

It's AAV. They did that to prevent fudging the numbers with structured contracts to avoid penalties (like you see in the NFL). Wherever you saw that was wrong.

If he hits around .280, he'll likely have it. In over 1000 MiLB ABs, he's demonstrated very good patience with a .084 IsoD. I'm not putting a whole lot of stock into 95 ABs. Too small a sample.

Apparently, Proctor's 100 IP at 30 y/o is a good thing. When the Sox want Shields, who has a rubber arm, it is a bad thing. Puzzling indeed.

Great news. No, no Lester as closer. He's stated in interviews that he prefers the routine of getting ready for a start, and he's uncomfortable relieving, which is supported by his dreadful performances when coming in as a RP.

Ok then. Bye.

They had him either way in '07 and '08 at $7M and $9M. So they extended him for 3 more years at $49M ($16.33M per year). Sounds about right to me for a guy who will be 36 at the end of the contract and going into his age 37 year for the option. Expect Zambrano to get extended next.

Unbelievable play by Brandon Marshall to tie it at 20.

The older I get, the more this becomes true for me. In every sport other than baseball, I just like to see a good game.

No, he didn't tell you that, you are telling yourself that. Despite twice the walks, their results are very similar. Look at the WHIP. That means Igawa is easier to hit. Will that bode well in the best offensive division in professional baseball? Time will tell.

Moose has to be loving it in SoCal right now. UCLA is on the verge of a big upset.

I would do it if it were the only package available, but I'd shop real hard first. Those are 3 decent young players, with Duncan being the nothing special add-on. None of them scream star though. If I'm the Marlins, I hold out for less players, but more ceiling.

I don't think FLA gives the division a thought when making trades. They certainly didn't last year when they traded both Lo Duca and Delgado to the Mets. Their decision will most likely be determined by the talent offered and that alone.
