if the Yankees sign Carlos Beltran, and force Bernie Williams to DH, they will be paying roughly $50 million to DH's and 1B next season - ridiculous.
The Beltran signing I would not be against, he is the complete package and I been sayin it for a couple years now but it wasnt till he went to houston people noticed him. Plus he's not knockin on 40's door like everyone else they been signing, he's a long term answer. Players like Beltran do not come along very often, when I heard that boston coulda gotten him in a three way trade for nomar I was like wtf man, i'd take beltran over A Rod any day of the week.
I agree we need pitching more than anything but sheffield is not a long term answer, bernie is too old, we need another outfielder besides matsui.
stop bogarting the offense
if they cut Giambi, they'd free up some payroll for pitching - they could get by with Olerud & Clark.
If they could dump Giambi it would be a blessing, along with arod thats 40 million.
who the hell would take giambi off their hands? he's seriously damaged goods. oh right, the Mets!
Boras won't let teams examine Magglio's knee unless they are in "serious negotiations". Get this guy in Blue and Orange!!!
Nomah is at home right now washing the blood off his fist after beating the shit out of a certain soccer star.
it was the curse of nomah after all
Now once the cubs trade nomah, the cubs will go to the series, I think thats the key.
Aren't some of the A's pitchers available this year? Zito, Hudson, Mulder...at least one of these guys has a contract up if not all three of them I thouhgt.
They'll probably sign pavano and unfortunatly randy johnson at 500 years old.
nomar is a free agent, he doesn't need to be traded.
Quote:According to the Boston Herald, free-agent-to-be Carl Pavano is interested in signing with the Red Sox. "They are one of the teams I believe would be a good fit for Carl," Pavano's agent, Scott Shapiro, told the newspaper. Carl grew up in Connecticut and his family is right there. He would be coming home to some extent.''
Pavano went 18-8 with a 3.00 ERA in 2004, pitching 222 1/3 innings. He will turn 29 next year and is in line for a hefty pay raise from his $3.8 million base salary this season.
Galt Wrote:What have the Lakers done that is anywhere near the choke that the Yankees did? The only thing I can think of is that guy in the US Open (or the Masters or some other golf thing) where the guy was up by like 5 strokes with two holes to play and still found a way to lose.
But this is on a much larger scale, with much more history behind it, and so it gets magnified.
i read an article on page 2 today about the 10 biggest chokes in sports history, but i really can't find it right now.
it mentioned the golfer in the article. of course last nights disaster was number 1.
my friend's think mulder's cute, let's get him!
anyway "why not us?" that's why the sox fans are pathetic
