There was a dude that didn't sign two drafts/years in a row and ended up in a WalMart. Anyone remember who that dude was?

That's dumb. Because if it's about the cash, the real cash is at free agencies. The longer you keep yourself off the clock, thelonger before the 'reamoney' kicks in.

Not if you are getting a huge bonus up front because what if he doesn't pan out? Another Boras guy Craig Hansen got 1 million a year deal right off the bat and I don't think he'll be a very big player once he can hit free agency. I bet his initial deal will total more than he will ever for the rest of his career.

rejected $4.9 million, then hired Boras as his agent and rejected $1.2 million the next year, then got offered less than $20,000 the next year

I'm sure every top pick envisions themselves as a star so I don't really get your point?

If they envision themselves as a star, why hold up the free agency years where the big money is.

Mets activate Billy Wagner from the 60-day disabled list and release Livan Hernandez. Livan's overall numbers are misleading.
Hernandez was 7-8 with a 5.47 ERA for the Mets in 2009, but posted a 7.33 ERA in July and an 11.30 ERA in August. He had a really good first half, but as I expected, he trailed off...didn't think he'd trail off THAT much though, damn. But it was time for him to go. They need to start auditioning guys who could potentially be on the 2010 staff, which they've already done with Bobby Parnell. |

Gary Sheffield is throwing a fit because the Mets aren't going to give him a contract extension.

I'm sure they all envision themselves as stars but why be stupid? You never know what could happen, it takes a lonnng time to become a free agent. Even if you are a "super free agent" (that's a legitimate term in the world of the MLB) The MLB free agent rules are so complicated it's crazy, as are the anti-trust laws that are associated with them. |

As good as he's been this year, I figured that if Gary Sheffield was on the Mets in 2010, something went horribly wrong during the offseason. |

Billy Wagner gets claimed off waivers. Team is unknown at the time.
Let's see how Omar handles this one along with the Sheffield situation going on now. |

Cole Hamels isn't going to be right for this entire year. He's like Josh Beckett last year.

I even read that if the Mets agree to pay the majority of the $3.5 million left on his deal, they might be able to net a decent prospect from Boston. Not a huge prospect or anything obviously...but someone who at least projects into a Major Leaguer. |

How is it in panicking? If the season ended right now the Red Sox are in the playoffs, well unless the Rangers come back to win cuz Red Sox aren't coming back tonight. The AL East is pretty much out of reach, especially with the loss tonight. They are right there for the Wild Card, will be real surprised if they lose their spot to the fucking Texas Rangers. Only thing I could see happening is the Rays making a run and jumping both of them.

Tiges (yes, I left out the 'r', I'm not the only Detroit fan who has ever done that...) win and the White Sox lose, pushing the lead out to 3.5 in the AL Central...at least that's a little more like it...like to see my boys get ahead by at least another 2 or 3 games though, just for insurance going into the final 40 (41, if tomorrow is counted though.)

What? did you say the same thing for the Red Sox and the White Sox prior to 2004/2005? why would a team "not be worthy of a single ounce of respect" just because they haven't won a championship. the Cubs have had good teams, been to like 7 WS since they last won.
