I read that the Twins pretty much figured it out that the Mets won't part with Jose Reyes. So they are trying a new plan with them. Vito might be on to something with that signing of Angel Pagan.

I am sick of this shit. Why is Hughes still even on the table? I mean I love Santana but really is he worth the best pitching prospect on the farm? Santana is one of the best. I can't deny that but why do we need him now? I say we wait till 2009. By the 2008 offseason Santana might be a free agent. And then we wouldn't have to lose anyone. Just think of a rotation of Hughes/Santana/Wang/Kennedy/Joba. I don't want Santana if it costs us Hughes. Before I didn't care but now I think it's an extremely retarded move to give Hughes up for Santana. Unless I can get a written guarentee from Santana about winning number 27 in 2008. Name me any pitcher on the farm system and I'd probably do it in a heart beat. And Matt Clement got signed? Isn't he like the Carl Pavano of the Red Sox? Maybe some team would take Pavano off our hands then. I would be so fuckin happy if another team traded for Pavano.

The Boston Herald reported that this is not even that big of a distraction for the Red Sox, they got other things going on. The last thing we did was grab Latroy Hawkins to bolster the pen. *sigh* I miss Cory Lidle.

Yeah, everything I've heard suggests the Mets' offer now is "any 4 prospects", thats a hard offer to top.
A lot of Mets fans on the message boards are panicking saying the system will be leveled...but I dunno, I'm not too worried. As I said before, they've got like 3 of the top 33 picks this year. Perfect chance to rebuild straight away. |

YEah its nice to have a stocked system, but all that matters is that you have the best 25 man MAJORS team, ya know? The Angels have always been stocked, and ya know what, most of their guys never land in the majors, or they dont have room. They are an example of too much, as to where the Yanks are finally in a good spot. They have enough to restock the team, and enough to trade away. |

That A's deal with Swisher... I was just looking over who they got. Two very highly rated pitching prospects as well as a good young, up&coming power hitter.

Also, he and McNanamee.. or whatever, had a 1 on 1 private meeting on Friday. Wonder if they reached some sort of deal. |

So Roger Clemens says he's willing to take a Polygraph test to prove his innocence.
Rafael Palmeiro went on 60 Minutes to prove his innocence, and in the end it sorta backfired on him. While on the subject, an article surfaced that he wants to make a comeback. Definately gonna try to catch the Committee telecast. |

If it's proven that McNamee lied, he goes to jail for perjury. Given the fact that he named other people that have since admitted they've used steroids or HGH, it's pretty hard to fathom him mentioning Clemens if he hadn't injected/supplied him too. To me that's what it all boils down to.

But the same case could be made that since the other's were true, perhaps McNamee figured he could slip Clemens' name in there on his word and without substantial evidence.
Still, given his career swings, it just makes so much sense that Clemens took steroids in Toronto. |

We don't really need a 4th or 5th starter at all (if thats what you're talking about).
Wang, Pettitte, Hughes, Joba, Kennedy and Mussina is already 6 starters. |

Honestly, I'm on the boat where I'd keep Joba in the pen. And Kennedy and Hughes (if Santana talks fall through or someone else gets him), the last two spots. My only worry is Igawa since we brought him over in the first place to start. Chances are if he flunks spring training, he's in the the pen also. |

But, think about this even if we leave Joba in the pen. Know, that we have quite a few pitchers in our farm who could be starters. Not just Igawa, but Horne etc.etc.etc. At some point there gonna be on the Yankees and I think 2 or more of them will be dominant starters. So then we'd have Mussina/Kennedy/ Hughes/Pettitte/ Horne(?) If Joba isn't on the starting rotation we're gonna be fine because there must be a farm guy who would be ready to be the fifth starter.

I dunno. I'm really still for Joba to start. I definitely have the feeling Mussina will be terrible again in the rotation.
With Oakland doing this whole fire sale thing I wonder what they'd want for Street. Probably a lot but if we could somehow get him that would be incredible. It would end questions about Joba starting or going to the pen and would also give us the heir apparent to Mo. |

Joba has the chance to be the best closer since Eric Gagne before he got injured, in his cy young years. It takes alot of mental metal to do that job, and Joba has got it. I would loe him as a starter, but you never know, he might not be as dominant over 7 innings. But the guy is lightning in a bottle coming out of the pen. We can field 5 starters with him in the pen, and another year as the setup man will get him ready to step up and close. too bad they signed mo for 3 years, he will soon be a 15 mill a year liability.

I bet Clemens is gonna use the Bonds' defense "The guy stuck a needle in my ass but I didn't know it was HGH, I thought it was B12" Atleast that is what he seems to be setting up.
If he did do steriods he should just come out and admit it, nobody seems to be riding Jason Giambi too hard these days do they? |

Yeah but this is Roger Clemens, ya know? Arguably the best pitcher in a long ass time. Best pitcher in the last 50 years and the best hitter in the last 50 years both busted for roids. Damn.

He taped his 'private' call he made Friday to McNamee and released it. In it you hear nothing from McNamee that changes what he's saying. Clemens tries to play this off as some sort of proof? - Laughable.
And yes, if he did the same thing Pettitte did, I believe this would have blown over. Sure he'd have taken some extra flack being that he's 'Roger Clemens', but so what he'd have survived it. I can't believe after everything he's seen Bonds go through that he'd chose to follow that same path. |

He just comes off guilty. An innocent guy wouldnt have started this crusade.
The tape does nothing but make him look like he was trying to set Mcnamee up, which he couldnt get done. He is ruining his own legacy. |

Speaking of which, caught some Mike and Mike on TV this morning. They had Steve Phillips and Buster Olney on to talk about the Clemens press conference. A point got brought up saying that Andy Pettitte might be sitting on the future of Clemens and McNamee. People are wondering who's side is he gonna take. |

Why would the guy drop names on people who admit to it, and just throw in his close friend for no reason? Obviously he isnt proud he had to turn in Clemens, but as he said "I dont want to go to jail". The fact that Clemens is treating the guy like this when his kid is dying makes me sick.
