http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/12/ron-santo-elected-to-hall-of-fame.html He was the best third baseman in the NL for several years. His accomplishments are magnified by the fact that he was a diabetic in an age when the medical technology to control and manage the disease was not very advanced.

I am trying to understand the symbolism of the 1 day contract. I'm not criticizing you. Nomar and others have done this 1 day contract thing, but I just don't get it. Ten years from now people will look at Pedro's stats and see that he pitched his last game in the World Series for the Phillies. Bobby V talked about rooming with Tony C in the Padres organization attempting a comeback in Spring Training. I have no recollection of that and I can't find anything linking him to the Padres. Technically, I guess he retired as a Padre, but who would know. It would be meaningful if Pedro or Nomar for example took an AB or pitched to a batter while playing for the Sox the way Minnie Minosa took some token ABs to have played in a couple of additional decades. It would give the fans one last chance to say goodbye and it would be in the record books.

... And I never said anything that would even approach this ^. I am used to you misconstruing my posts, but this is a big stretch even for you.

That would be unbelievable if they landed Reyes and Pujols.

Another blow to the Mets franchise which continues to deteriorate. They have been losing a substantial segment of their fan base over the last several years. It all started with their 2007 collapse.
-
It looks that way. The history of the Marlins has been a very strange one. In their short history they have won 2 World Championships with powerhouse teams that were immediately dismantled in shameful fashion. Maybe the new stadium and the restructured roster will breathe new life into the franchise.

It looks like the marlins are serious about getting him. I believe their initial offer to Reyes was 6/$90 million.

That's a $200 million payroll of mediocrity.

Dominating stuff but his elbow is hanging by a thread.

No one is saying this. We are all waiting to see what they do. You are very cranky today.

I don't recall Papelbon having any trouble with Texeira.:dunno:

Hopefully, this week's Winter Meetings will provide some interesting moves for us to discuss. So far this off season has been a major downer. When the biggest highlight is hiring a new manager, it's a sucky off season.

Hopefully he can't clear customs and re-enter the U.S.

I should take up golf this baseball season.
-
Damn!! That is some scary stuff. I remember when it happened, but I don't know if we got all those details. What were you doing there? Were you serving in the military?
-
I don't think that I will enjoy fighting Toronto for third place.

Totally agree. If Papelbon had stayed, we would still have benefited from Bard's great numbers in a role that he was comfortable in.

Bobby Valentine agrees ro deal to become Red Sox Manager

Good luck. I'm not saying it is impossible, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Like we have to live with no papelbon, I think we will have to live with Beckett reporting to Ft. Myers in or out of shape. -
Yes the ship has sailed, but we need a new ship, either in the 8th inning or the 9th inning. I'm not seeing anything that is available that isn't going to make me pine for Bard/Papelbon in the 8th and 9th. Edit: Moving on from a player with some plan to regain what has been lost or to get better is something I like to see, but I am not seeing the possibility for improvement as a result here, not even the possibility for being as good as we were before.
