Dude...Boras isn't buying out the Lions. Get over it.

Pavano didn't pitch at all...we cannot expect him to win 18 games with a 3 ERA. I'm banking on 6-10 wins, 4.5-5 ERA. This guy had 1 good year basically. Career: 61-64, 4.27 ERA, 673 K in 1037 IP. Hes not that good...

Haha you ain't foolin anyone. I have cookies myself.

We had a "deep" rotation last year too. I don't call a bunch of bodies a deep rotation. You have 4 good starters then a bunch of ?'s to fill the 5th spot.

In all honesty, age aside, I would take both Pettitte and/or Clemens on my team any day of the week. If I were the Yanks I'd rather have Clemens, but I see the history with Pettitte. But Clemens' age doesn't factor into the decision as much as the numbers being in the NL. That said, they're pretty filthy: 13-8, 1.87 ERA, 185 K's in 211 innings in 2005. 7-6, 2.30 ERA, 102 K's in 113 innings in 2006. Pettitte's numbers have declined, he was nasty in 2005 but last year he was nothing to write home about.

Well most of the big FA's out there have been signed...here are some of the few top ones remaining, and where I think they'll end up: Barry Zito-New York Mets Roger Clemens-Houston Astros Jeff Suppan-Pittsburgh Pirates Trot Nixon-Pittsburgh Pirates Kenny Lofton-Colorado Rockies Mark Mulder-Arizona Diamondbacks Eric Gagne-Texas Rangers Aubrey Huff-Baltimore Orioles Miguel Batista-St. Louis Cardinals Cliff Floyd-Chicago Cubs I expect lots of trades...I damn hope so to get me through this winter.

The ESPN boards are all utter ********.

Yes, he absolutely is.

Any news on Beltre and Tejada, the guys we signed? How are they doin?

Cases can be made for others. This is reasonable. 19 of 50 top prospects did not pan out. They are called prospects...

I'd rather not be flip flopping a youngster like Paps.

Thats dandy!

Wow...Kevin Thompson?

Why would I become a fan of a team just cause they win? If they win.

I gotta agree with Crespo here.

If I was Octavio Dotel, yes I would.

Wow. Are these guys stupid? I would shed 1-2 mil off my contract to play for the Sox rather than the Royals, without a doubt.

Oh, no, absolutely not. It's just jackso worded it a little weird.

http://realgmbaseball.com/src_wiretap_archives/4510/20061207/foulke_will_decline_bostons_arbitration_offer/

I would do Dotel for 1 year at 3 mil and a team option for a 4 mil 2nd year.

Yeah, Matsuzaka wouldn't make 33.3 mil per f***ing season.

Yup, seems like Boston is the best fit for him. If we are willing to go up to his asking price is really the main question. If so, I think he's ours.

The Guardians probably won't land him after getting Borowski.
