Cocos Disciples

You lost all respect for them when they wanted equal pay?

Well then why is the deal dead?

The Garland deal is being stalled.

Yeah isn't is so funny when teams make s***** signings? Its a good thing youre the immune Yankees. Wake up, idiot.

Taylor Buchholz failed his physical according to SI.com.

Also Daryle Ward is a Cub. mlbtraderumors.com

3 guys have OBP's under .315? Really?

I do agree it was a bad deal but the possibility of an injury for a guy who hasn't had any major ones isn't really a fair way to judge a contract.

I'd do Hinske for Sherrill.

I see your Lee and raise you fringe OF Gary Matthews, 10 mil per year. I like this game!

That'd be huge if we could get rid of him for a decent reliever. We'd have to eat a lot of his salary though.

WOW! If they get Hirsh, Taveras and Buchholz you gotta think thats a good deal. Hirsh is a real good prospect, Taveras gets a lot of steals and is a solid defender, I believe. Garland is vastly overrated, his BAA was almost .300 in 2006, he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts, and for his whole career he's been a mediocre pitcher, 4.5 ERA and 12 wins or so, except for 2005. The bloated win total in 2006 was mainly because of the Sox' offense. That said, if I were Ken Williams I would have traded Garcia or Garland, not both of them. But their future looks pretty good with Floyd, Gonzalez, Hirsh, Taveras and Buchholz into the mix, and a secure spot in the rotation for McCarthy. EDIT: Another thing that could be going on is Williams sees the likes of the Twins, Guardians and Tigers and realizes he will be competing with them year in and year out in a tough 4 team race. Maybe he is looking towards the future more because those teams have a lot of good young talent, and the White Sox, without these trades, could not compete with them in later years.

Youchies.

Padilla and Eaton were pretty ridiculous too.

I wouldn't mind Dotel, but if he closes, be prepared for disaster.

Heard this on minorleagueball.com. The Braves and Pirates are nearing a Adam LaRoche for Mike Gonzalez swap, pending Gonzalez's physical (Braves have some questions) They got it from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette. Just found the link: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06340/744098-63.stm

I think that'd be a sweet deal for the A's. A guy who has potential to be real good but often gets hurt (Mark Prior anyone?) for a top hitting prospect, a very good late inning reliever and another good pitching prospect.

I wouldn't have minded him here.

B-B-B-B-B-B-Bullshitttttt

Actually the 2001 and 2002 teams were/had the potential to be very good. In 2001 it was mainly the injuries. In 2002 they had a real good team, 2 20 game winners, Manny, Nomar, and Johnny Damon, just not the right luck to make it into the playoffs.
