I think both are liars and masters of spin, and I wouldn't trust either of their versions of what happened. Drayton lost credibility with his...
You're selling yourself! I think you averaged about 20 posts per day for your first few months here. You've slowed down... a little. :)
The fudge-making guy making poo jokes, oh the irony. :p
So don't offer arbitration - just nontender the guy and then make him an offer of $2 mil (or whatever) with incentives like Boston did. If you...
Look deeper. If Miller's agent rejects a deal because he knows arbitration will yield his client more, then he also knows that the Astros will...
Are you sure about that? I thought I remembered the Astros had a long streak awhile back of avoiding arbitration with their players, including...
How does that mesh with the idea that the Stros couldn't negotiate a deal similar to the Boston one? If Miller was willing to sign for $1.5 mil...
Corollas are great in terms of reliability. Toyotas in general. I'd recommend them to anyone, especially for an entry-level vehicle.
Jason Lane is a solid OF. He's not spectacular, but he's not bad. His minor and major league numbers suggest he could hit for decent average...
Pujols is in his own category. He's younger than the other guys, and is the best hitter in baseball not named Bonds. He's just in a class by...
If they're going to ask for Burke and Backe, no dice. In fact, why don't we just go after Delgado and keep out young talent? He's probably no...
Are you serious? Berkman IS in the Pujols/Vlad/Beltran league. Pujols is probably the best hitter of the bunch, but Berkman is a close 2nd....
I watched it a week ago, finally. Funny movie, well worth the rental. I might watch it again before I return it.
Such a flawed question. Beltran operated in his own interests, Boras operated in his own interests. Neither of them (obviously) cared about...
Ah, ok. I misunderstood then. Baseball isn't basketball, where one superstar player wins you games. Too many players, and your best hitter...
I don't think the Stros made a mistake passing on Beltran. Those numbers were crazy, and a no-trade is a big deal. Still, I don't agree with...
I thought the holdup was not the total contract value, it was the lack of a signing bonus by the Stros and, more importantly, a no-trade clause...
What lame browser are you using? I'm using IE here at work, and even it's popup blocker kept all that stuff from appearing.
Good stuff, VesceySux, keep us posted. I don't think the Cubs will pony up that kind of cash, I don't think Beltran wants 3 years, so it's all...
Sigworthy!
