Not sure, but I think JD Drew might have played for the St. Paul Saints, an independent team here, when he didn't want to sign with whoever drafted him. Not positive though.

Just looked it up on Wikipedia, among the notable players to play for them: JD Drew, Darryl Strawberry, Kevin Millar, Jack Morris and Bull Durham. Really random, I never knew the Kevin Millar one.

I think Torii Hunter is making 10 mil a year and he is not much better. I still think Torii is the gold standard for defensive outfielders, but his contract is a bit extreme.

BTW: AJ didn't get cut after you traded him. He played 1 year in SF before signing as a free agent with us.

And Tom Kelly was the fucking man.

None of these players won until Gardenhire was the manager, that is the flaw of your whole argument.

As for Knoblauch, he was a key member of the Yankees teams that won like three World Series' before he officially went nuts, so that is misleading. I think the trade brough Milton, Guzman and one other solid player though.

Not trying to be a dick, but reading your post, it almost seems like you don't know that Gardenhire was the manager beginning in 2002. You gave TK credit for winning the division three years in a row, when the Twins had not won before that for 10 years.

Basically, no Twins player coached by Kelly reached their full potential until Gardy took over. You can blame that some on maturity, but I think there is a lot more than that.

This isn't me being against TK, it is just me saying that Gardy needs a little more respect than he is getting. I was shocked when people suggested firing him midway through this season. Fire Kevin McHale, fire Glen Mason, fire Dan Monson, fire Brad Childress before Gardenhire. C'mon.

Source: Astros sign Lee to six-year, $100M deal

ESPN.com news services





Carlos Lee is staying in Texas, but not with the Rangers.

A source told ESPN's Jayson Stark that the Houston Astros were set to announce Friday afternoon that they have signed the free-agent slugger to a six-year, $100 million deal. The only significant non-monetary clause in the contract is that Lee will have a complete no-trade clause for the first four years of the contract and a limited no-trade for the final two years.
The Astros were one of several teams bidding for Lee, joining the Philadelphia Phillies, who failed to land Alfonso Soriano; Baltimore Orioles, who Stark previously reported had made serious overtures to Lee; and San Francisco Giants.
"We're in the mix, definitely," Orioles vice president Jim Duquette said Tuesday.
Lee batted .300 with 37 homers, 116 RBI and 19 steals with Texas and Milwaukee this year.
"He's a nice-looking player, someone who would definitely draw some interest," Phillies GM Pat Gillick said Monday, adding he has spoken to Lee's representatives.
Lee earned $8.5 million last season. Soriano's deal with the Chicago Cubs, which averages $17 million per year.
The 30-year-old outfielder has averaged 33 homers and 111 RBI over the last four seasons. He's also been durable, having played at least 150 games in six of his eight seasons in the majors.
Lee is listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds and there have been questions about him being out of shape, but Gillick said his size isn't a concern.
"Lee is a heck of an athlete," Gillick said.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

The Astros have no chance this year, yeah they got Berkman, Lee, Biggio, etc. But you just lost Clemens and Pettite and if neither one of them re-signs, that's a lot of wins to replace.

And all that is assuming Lidge can get his shit together

Does nothing for either team

Estrada has really fallen off.

I thought for sure he would be the NLs elite catcher by now. But he lost it the last 3 years.

The Orioles and Danys Baez have reportedly agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth $5 million-$6 million per season.


According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Dodgers have emerged as the favorites to sign Randy Wolf.

The Giants and David Roberts are still hammering out the final details of a three-year deal worth $5 million-$6 million per year.


The Giants may wait until after the Dec. 1 arbitration deadline to ink Rich Aurilia, who is expected to get a two- or a three-year deal.


The Giants are talking to free agent Gregg Zaun as a possible replacement for Mike Matheny.


Rangers officials recently flew into Arizona to meet with Mark Mulder's agents.
-------
Baez has the potential to be a pretty good setup man for Chris Ray.

At least the Giants are finally doing something, though I don't think Dave Roberts and Rich Aurilla are going to save them from being one of the worst teams in baseball next year.

He's in his 40's (Roberts), god bless him, but I'm stunned that I guy that's been nothing more than a platoon player for so much of his career is about to sign a multi year deal worth as much as 5 or 6 million a season.

Haha, Roberts isn't in his 40's. He's 34.

I really want to like the RedSox, I like Manny and I like Pappi, but there are guys on that team I don't like, adding J.D. Drew to the mix, will put them over the top as a team I cannot like. They aren't helping their case in my eyes.

Adding J.D. Drew isn't going to help them beat the Yankees either. Why would anybody invest in a player who is not only injury prone, but then he has a good year and then opts out on the team that took a chance on him to begin with.

Yeah, kind of happy Drew is being targeted by the Red Sox. I really don't see him having a huge impact, but he will lock up quite a bit of money for them.

BTW, why are the Sox looking for a right fielder when they have Wily Mo Pena? Everything I've heard before the season ended was that he was gonna take over for Trot(man) Nixon.

JD Drew is garbage. I'd take my chances with Pena.

He's never has 500 ABs in a season (Roberts) ONly 3 times has he had more than 400, he has 21 career HRs and has a career .270 batting avg. If that now equals 5 million a season, WOW.

Yeah well, Juan Pierre isnt that much better statistically and he got double that.

Also,

Dodgers sign Randy Wolf for 1 yr/8 mil

and

Phillies sign Adam Eaton for 3 yrs/24 mil

Pierre has been basically the hits leader in many of his MLB seasons in the NL. He's avg. more than 200 a year in the last 3 (off the top of my head, maybe more) and he also plays in every game, he has in the last 3 season that I remember for sure. He like Roberts won't hit HRs but Pierre is stages ahead of Roberts. I will say, he needs to steal more bases and be thrown pout alot less than he currently is to really become an elite players on the base paths. Roberts too gets thrown out way too much (if I hadn't mentioned that earlier)

Chad Bradford to sign with the Orioles

They are also adding Scott Williamson......so they've added 4 relievers to their shit bullpen (Bradford, Williamson, Walker, Baez)

If the Mets don't get a Zito or Schmidt I'd say their 2007 chances are gone

Scott Williamson's a pretty solid addition


As far as Zito goes, has there been any mumbling about that yet?
