Ok, I'm curious about this because I don't know the answer for sure. Due to Cashman's stupidity, our first round draft pick this year wasn't signed. So as of now, we have in 2009: First round pick Supplemental first round pick [for not signing our draft pick] Now...if we sign one Type A free agent we lose our first round pick. If we sign a second one, do we lose the supplemental pick as well? Also...let's say Abreu is offered arbitration and rejects it and signs elsewhere. Do we lose that pick if we sign two free agents, or the supplemental pick? What if we sign three Type A free agents? Do we lose all three. I know what I think, but if someone can come up with the concrete answer, I'd appreciate it.

I would be surprised if he is a Padre in December.

My bad. I thought he was talking right-handed hitter.

God help us if Melky is in CF. Neither Gardner or Melky are anything more than a 4th OF at best. I am hoping we aquire Manny and move Damon to CF. You know what would be funny? Imagine for a second we signed Manny and put him at DH. You'd have Matsui in LF and Damon in CF. You could see Gardner and Melky play every game the Yankees have a lead in the 7th and beyond. That being said, I don't want Cameron. There are much better options than he.

Yes. Your bottom wrist generates more power than your top wrist.

Signing Wake at his $4 million is a no-brainer. At the very least, he's backup insurance for an injury. However, if you go into the season with him as your #5, that's the front office's fault.

I am in complete agreement with you on this one.

Actually, not true. Give me your address, and send me a check, and I'll get you a ticket for every World Series game at Fenway in 2008.

Kilo, the goal is winning the World Series. No one is denying that the players weren't good values. Anytime you plug a rookie in, and he contributes in any way, it's a good value. I'll give you this....let's say that the overall effect during the season was even. Fine. In the playoffs, Santana's value trumps the other three. Hands down. The "tiebreaker" is the post-season. Which player matters more when it comes down to the big game? It's this reasoning that people want to sign Manny. An uncanny track record of an ability to hit in the post-season. Would you rather have Arod or Manny for the regular season? How about the post-season? I'm sure those answers are reversed. Kilo, please don't cry poverty, or payroll flexibility. Are you saying if you'd won the World Series, your FO wouldn't stretch the payroll a little to maintain those players? If the Devil Rays can sign their players to long term deals, I can't see how you or we can't. Did the Red Sox get great value by not trading those players? Sure. I do think, however, that the greater "value" would have been a World Championship.

If this is true....getting rid of Manny was the best possible thing you could have done.

The women at your stip clubs are 45 year old ladies with 4 kids and fruit rollup titties.

What he's saying is that they were selling tickets at face value or below for Game 5. Sorry Kilo, I take Abraham's word over yours, mainly because he was there. I don't see a reason for him to not tell the truth, either. What a f***ing homer. I like you Kilo, but the last couple of days, your posts have been retarded. I don't know. Email him. I'm sure he'll respond. He usually does when I email him a question. pabraham@lohud.com

Who the hell is Ramiro Pena?

Get this. This is from Peter Abraham, who covered the series, both in Fenway and St. Pete. This is on the eve of Game 5. At least Tampa had the excuse of a Bucs game. As Hank Steinbrenner said..."Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of ******** that is...". Amen.

If I was there, and saw it, I would say he got pissed at the Red Sox fans and stormed out. I don't get your point a700.

I get the post too. A Red Sox taunt set him off. Nowhere in the article does it say or implicate that anyone but Joba was at fault. A headline in the NY Post that stretches the truth to sell that paper? If you live in NY, and don't know the answer to that question, consider yourself shamed.

Please go back to Boston. Please. I do not want Derek Lowe at 15 million. No way, shape, or how.

You are seriously smoking crack. Thats like me saying Kennedy and Melky. Ok...keep this in mind. You will get an A+ prospect or TWO for Peavy. He is below market value in salary, and one of the top 10 pitchers in the game. He is 27. Any team that gets him has him jump to the #1 position on the team, minus 2 or 3 teams. If you think you're getting this guy, or any team thinks they are getting this guy, for anything but a kings ransom, you're insane.

I don't know. Maybe jacking up the prices for seats at a stadium for a team that hadn't won anything in nearly 100 years? Before you question how ridiculous that statement is, read the one I quoted. What is the point of this? That Tampa isn't a hardcore baseball city? So what? Did the Red Sox deserve to win it because their fans are more rabid? If you're talking about crazy fandom, the Cardinals should win every year. When the Rams were in St. Louis, they were in the SuperBowl, and the calls coming in to talk radio were about the Redbirds. This is a moot point. Florida, by and large is known as a football state. Bucs, Dolphins, and college football rule in Florida. Marlins? Rays? Tampa Bay Lightning? Not their fault the fans aren't as rabid.

ORS....killing your own. Welcome to my world.
