Sounds like Helton and The Rockies are going to be divorced from each other soon enough. At least one of the stories I read stated so.

Weaver to the Mariners. Not official yet, but very close. A one year deal with incentives.
I also read my man, Nolan Ryan, was hospitalized. ![]() |

OH, also read that Bernie Williams wants to keep playing, even though teh Yankees are saying they've roster spot for him. That = Bernie to another team.
Red Sox? LOL, Imagine that. |

I'm pretty sure Green and his 15 HRs, 70 or so RBIs 80+ runs, 275ish avg are better numbers than people credit him as having. Not to mention next year, he'll not be the go to guy and will be protected by so many bigger bats, that his numbers will be quite a bit higher than that (barring injuries of course)
Green is a good fit for the Mets. |

The only other team I could see Bernie playing for is the Mets, and I don't think that will happen. I think he'll just have to bite the bullet and retire.
It sucks, he's one of my favorite players, but it comes with the territory. He's just not very good anymore. The only thing he has to offer at this point is a mediocre bat. |

I'd be sad to see Lowell go, but at the same time we can make Youkilis a full time 3B, and I know he'd do a good job there, and Helton is a gold glove 1B so there wouldn't be any slack in the fielding. Tavarez is basically useless to the team anyway. My only other worry is that since Helton's numbers have been slipping a little bit in the last 2 seasons, he'd struggle in the AL East. Going from the NL West to the AL East won't be an easy transition for him, not to mention the atmospheric change between Denver and Boston. |

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Bernie is still holding out hope that the Yanks will find room for him on the roster. If not, he'll probably just hang 'em up. So its Yanks or nothing basically.

I think they think he can be a spot starter 'slash' reliever.

As long as Helton has a good season that trade doesn't bother me. Tavarez is garbage and Clement would be relegated to long relief with our full rotation. Letting go of Lowell is tough, but Youkilis will hopefully pick up that slack.

Yeah, I would agree. That trade would be a great one for the Red Sox. Tavarez is worth nothing, Clement is the odd-man out in the rotation anyway, and Lowell is old and on the decline. Even if Helton isn't at his best, he is a great first baseman.

The Rockies apparantly want Lester or Delcarmen too, so I don't know if it's going to happen.

The Rockies are only going to do it if they get a good prospect. Why would they pay some of Helton's salary and take shit in return?

Like CNM said, the Rockies wouldn't gain anything significant without a decent prospect, at least.

Can't see the Red Sox making that trade if the Rockies want 2 young arms. Actaully don't see the Red Sox giving up anyone other then maybe Lester. If they do start giving up prospects then what was the point of last season? Would kinda defeat the whole purpose.

Yeah Clement/Lowell/Tavarez are all I'm comfortable with trading for Helton.

Mariners signed RHP Jeff Weaver, who had been with the Cardinals, to a one-year, $8.325 million contract.
According to The Associated Press, the Giants and Barry Bonds have finalized a one-year, $15.8 million contract. |

If Sosa makes the Rangers then I hope it's in his contract that he has to rock the mustache and the jheri curl again.

As many of you may know. Barry Bonds is gonna go another year with the giants. However, if things go south with BALCO trial, and ends up getting indicted, the giants can drop him with a snap of their fingers.
Here's the story. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2748744 |

They had said Bonds' contract was all worked out, but some of the things I'm reading states Bonds won't sign it. Doesn't like some of the stipulations and also there is something about it not being legal in regard to the player's association.
Awesome. |

I thought Bonds was all locked up? Was that just that he would stay with the Giants, but no contract yet?

As far as Todd Helton going to the Sox....
Well I dunno, he seems to have gone down hill in the last few years (thats not to suggest anything dirty) and thats at coors... How dya think he'd do in the AL and the limelight for the first time? |
