  1. Actually, at least on my part, i'm using you for entertainment purposes.
  2. They didn't have much leverage with Peavy. They do with Gonzo.
  3. Lol no. To get Gonzo you gotta talk about 4 legitimate, 6-year-under-control prospects. However, he could have been a throw-in in the Martinez-Lee deal.
  4. You've been a Yankee fan since you were a cumshot that dripped from your mothers' ass into her pussy? Wow, now that's a hardcore fan!
  5. Theo needs to re-plant his strategy. While it may be true that Teixeira wanted to go to New York (we don't really know and never will), his resistance to trading away prospects for young, proven talent is wearing on the core of this team. He had a chance to get Gonzo, and didn't, in fact, had he sacked the f*** up, he might have been able to get Martinez, Lee AND Gonzales without even giving up 6 of this teams' 10 top prospects.
  6. It would take BALLS to assemble such a team. See, my problem with Theo's philosophy (as much as i value prospects, i follow them like a religion), is that, as a team with nearly limitless monetary resources, you need to be able to recognize the fact that re-stocking the farm system is not an impossible task. Dealing 2 packages of minor league players for lineup fixtures is not a stupid idea as long as you can solidify the team long enough for the next wave of prospects to come in. Think about it. This team is OLD. New blood is needed, and needed now. Dealing a load of prospects for 2 guys who will stay on this team for multiple years and who are proven performers (Elite performers in Hanley's case) is building for the future. Because, after all, prospects are just that, prospects.
  7. Of course we could. Anderson as the centerpiece of one deal. Kelly/Bowden centerpieces of the other.
  8. I'm starting to think Ellsbury won't live up to the press clipping so here's my idea. Ellsbury + (3 high level and 1 mid level prospect) to Florida for Hanley Anderson + ( 3 high level and 1 mid level prospect) to San Diego for Gonzales. Sign Figgins to play CF Sign Holliday Sign Lackey Release V-Tek. Trade Lowell even for a bag of potato chips. Lineup: Pedey (Yeah man the f*** up we need OBP from the 1-spot) Drew Youk Gonzales Ramirez Martinez Bay/Holliday Papi (Yeah you suck now) Figgins Rotation: Becks Lester Lackey Dice-K Bucholz/Tazawa It would take balls to have an off-season like this. Cashman would pull it off, and we could re-stock the farm quickly.
  9. Not at all. I was obviously exaggerating, no need to get butthurt about it.
  10. First basemen Rich Aurilia (38) Russell Branyan (34) Miguel Cairo (36) Frank Catalanotto (36) - $5MM club option with a $2MM buyout Tony Clark (38) Carlos Delgado (38) Nomar Garciaparra (36) Ross Gload (34) - $2.6MM club option Eric Hinske (32) Nick Johnson (31) Adam LaRoche (30) Doug Mientkiewicz (36) Kevin Millar (38) Chad Tracy (30) - $7MM option with a $1MM buyout Daryle Ward (35) Dmitri Young (36) -$6MM option vests with 500 PAs in '09 Third basemen Rich Aurilia (38) Adrian Beltre (31) Geoff Blum (37) Aaron Boone (37) Craig Counsell (39) Joe Crede (32) Pedro Feliz (35) - $5MM club option with a $500K buyout Chone Figgins (32) Nomar Garciaparra (36) Troy Glaus (33) Mike Lamb (34) Melvin Mora (38) - $8MM club option with a $1MM buyout Pablo Ozuna (35) Robb Quinlan (33) Juan Uribe (31) The amount of suck in the corners is palpable. I have a crazy-ass idea, but i think people would chew me up BSN07 style if i proposed it.
  11. We need a SS who's not an auto-put. Wilson is an auto-out. I agree on Sheff. But Huff's line this year is horrible, and he's a very inconsistent hitter.
  12. LOL. We wouldn't even use 9 of our top 20 to get HanRam and Gonzo.
  13. Wilson sucks ass, Huff is old, Bedard is injury-prone, we dealt Van Every away, Sheffield never shuts his mouth.
  14. Hahaha. The cap'n sinks with his ship.
  15. I only wish Theo had some balls and pulled off a couple trades this offseason to turn this team into a no-doubt juggernaut. We'll have the pitching, needing only a starter which we could get for just money. We can make Martinez the full time C to stop the offensive SUCK. Set in the OF. Need a SS who can hit, and a middle-of-the-order CIF.
  16. A lot of moves need to be made this off-season to fix the mess this offense has become. Pitching and defense are the most important part of the game, but a consistent offense can bail you out of a lot of jams.
  17. My balls hurt from doing this but: I second this in a loud manner.
  18. I agree, and not being passive aggresive. You should drop that, though, seriously. Nothing we can do about it now.
