ORS is right. With the 3rd pick in the draft, I shouldn't be complaining.

Don't the players who have a chance to get him are the one's on the waiver waire list? In other words, the less active players? I'm a little confused.

That's why I advocate for not having him in our league.

Bulldogs, please send me the message again. My inbox was full.

This is about Matt Wieters. I wanted to draft him. So did everyone else. My suggestion is that he should just be ineligible for our league. The league should be about drafting or trading, not who clicks on him first to claim him, if/when he comes up. What do you think?

Manny, Matsui, Randy Winn and Brian Giles.

CASHMAN STRIKES BACK: I need 2B/SS, RP or an upgrade in the OF. I'm offering...my team. Specifically... Derrek Lee Aubruy Huff Jorge Posada Randy Winn Cole Hamels Cliff Lee Joba Chamberlain AJ Burnett Carlos Zambrano Kevin Slowey Randy Johnson Chien-Ming Wang Justin Duchsherer All of these guys I will readily trade. Make my team and your team better.

That's disturbing.

I support Aimee. Female. No other reason needed.

It's beyond your comprehension, sorry. Dojji...you are wrong, but that was funny. I have to give you that.

Why not? They did it for Lester.

Why would you prefer a platoon? Exactly what does Melky bring to the table over Gardner? The only thing I can see is power. I'd take Gardner in the field, on the bases, and the fact that he can take a walk makes up for his lack of power.

My ass....

Guys...one thing I think you're missing [not you BSN07] is that it will be a PHENOMENAL buyer's market come the deadline, if the economy is still in shambles.

Gardner brings more potential to the table right now, but don't forget that he's TWO years OLDER than Melky. Melky has some time to regain his bearings. I think the best Yankee outfield as the Yankees currently stand is Gardner in CF with Melky as the fill-in and late-inning replacement.

Go look at my plan for the Yankees, 2009. Check the date. Check what I predicted for salaries for free agents who I would have signed for the Yankees. In comparing what the players I predicted to sign with the Yankees, Here is the results. Here' the link for any of you who want to check. Check the 36th post in the thread. Dated 9/29. CC predicted: 7 years, 140 million. CC actual: 7 years, 161 million. Difference of 3 million a year, I missed by 13%. Pettitte predicted: 1 year 8 million Pettitte actual: Assuming Pettitte pitches 180IP [he's averaged 195 for his career, including his injury plagues 2004], he would earn 7.75 million, with an additional 0.3 million, bringing him up to 8.05 million. If he pitches more or less, the value will change, but as of now, with my subjective analysis, I'd say I missed by less than 1%. AJ predicted: 16 million per year AJ actual: 16.5 million per year I missed by less than 4 percent. So, example1.... I think when you say that the standards that I "choose to harp on seem arbitrary and certainly pale in comparison to standards that most other people would deem reasonable (say, FA signings)", I think you're talking out of your ass. I seem to either know what I'm talking about, or my guesses are unbelievably lucky. Once again..the deal is good for Lester, could be good for the Sox, and bad for baseball. Bad for baseball because it sets a new and more expensive precedent in a very bad economic time. This is coming from a guy who cries and whines about a cap. I'm pointing out the OBVIOUS that it's disingenious to believe what he says about curbing spending when he does it himself.

Team A signed Joba for 423,000. Team B has 100 more career innings. Gets 30 million. 60% more than any other pitcher in a similar standing with similar stats. Every team has the right to do what they want. When Team B starts complaining about salaries and spending sprees...Well, Team B should look in the mirror. End of story.

Coming from you, this is a compliment. When you understand about finances, and not government handouts, come talk to me. Quick quiz, you idiot. What have I been saying? What's the point I'm trying to make here? No one answer this. Let him go back and try to figure out what I have been trying to say.

Pujols is clean. I sure hope so, at least.

Bad poetic license. I like that.

We need active members, and 26 was active. Better to have one active member than 10 dead ones.

That game was amazing.
