What's the down side of Sosa pissing off the Cubs back office? He gets traded and 18 million dollars. Sosa is playing the Cubs organization. Sammy is forcing...
... I honestly love Otto. He has good insight and he's grown a lot. I'd take him over Joe Carter ANY DAY, so that's probably why I like him so much. However, ...
Answer? Keep him and bench him, or send him to Iowa. He wouldn't be able to showcase himself for '06 free agency, costing him a bunch of money. We would be off...
Ummm, no. You can't send him to Iowa w/o his consent at this point. Furthermore, keeping him around? It might be an interesting sociological experiment...
... interesting ... for ... As tempting as it sounds, benching Sosa or sending him to Iowa would be the contemporary equivalent of Charlie Finley trying to...
Cal is rated fourth. Cal has not been rated this high since 1952, before even I went there as an under graduate, if you can believe that. Cal is now an odds...

... you really think Floyd can give us more than a combo of Hollandsworth/Dubois/Kelton? ... Yes I do. Floyd is a better hitter than any of those 3. Dubois...
For Hendry, Sosa has made it such a bad situation he might have to go to the DR and kiss Sosa's ass. Then make the meeting it a media "I'm ok, he's ok, we're...
I guess a hollowed out handgernade was found in RF at Wrigley. Just like Sosa, what use to be a dangerous weason is just a hollowed out dud that needs to be...

I want to know how in the hell Miguel Cairo is rated over Mark Grudzielanek. Or even Todd Walker for that matter. An NY writer must have written this. ... ...
I'd rate Walker above Grudz, for sure. Plus, Grudz may not be as healthy as all that. Can you count on him for 130 to 140 games? ... with ... at ... still ... ...
Well, Andy is good for something. Grace says that he won't come to Chicago as a broadcaster as long as MacFailure is in the head office. Live long and...
... The best move he's made was step aside for Hendry. Sandberg has said the same about Macfail. Sandberg ,in his book, said that Macfail would ignore all the...
... That really wasn't my point. I wasn't trying to compare Grudz and Walker. I was just trying to say that Grudz AND Walker are both better than Miguel...
What? That is insane. Insane, I say. Pierre is way over-hyped and not that productive. Sosa's OPS was .849 last year. Pierre's was .781. His alleged bonus as a...
I just posted that to hear you say slappy. I get a kick out of it for some reason. It seems that if I suggest putting a power hitter in the leadoff spot, he...
The good news is that the Marlins are the ones that overvalue Pierre, so he wouldn't be part of the package. I'd rather have Floyd from the Mets. Hell, I'd...
Well, you only bat leadoff once. Rickey Henderson was a pretty good leadoff hitter (acutally, best ever) and he's no slappy! Doubles and triples are a nice...
I wouldn't mind Floyd. I don't mind Wilson but he could strike out 200 times a year so the fans would get on him. What the heck would we do with Neagle? ...
Oy. Can you believe this crap? First of all, it's NOT going to happen. 10 year contracts will NEVER happen again (unless it's 10 years/$100 million total). 2)...
