I wonder if Ricciardi is going to unload any of his would-be free agents. Catalanotto is a guy I'd like on my team.

What? A playoff pitcher? So I guess because Livan posted a 3.99 ERA from 1997-2002 in the playoffs that means he's just suddenyl going to figure out how to not suck in the playoffs 2006?

BTW, Maddux's postseason ERA is higher than his regular season, throughout his career.

Are the Mets not gonna look for some more youth for their rotation? Right now they have that Cuban kid who's still adjusting, has been real patchy in the 2 starts i saw. But yeah, Trachsel, Glavine, El Duque and Maddux? Whats their combined age like 38?

Anyways, sadly, I doubt the Mets are gonna get younger with their rotation.
I've heard a rumored Aaron Heilman for Gil Meche deal. Miz, your gonna have to fill me in on Meche because I really don't know anything about him. His numbers don't look ridiculously good but they are better than Maddux/Livan/El Duque's numbers...plus he's at least fairly young. Can't help but think that if that deal went down Meche would crumble in the NY spotlight while Heilman ends up thriving in a starting role. ![]() |

lol brewers got raped in the ass. nelson cruz is supposed to be a vlad guerrero type player and is a really highly rated prospect. i thought you were supposed to give up prospects to get big players...not to give them away.

NELSON CRUZ????
OH GOD WHY???? Ouch, that trade fucking sucks. I understand that Lee was going to leave Milwaukee at some point, but not this way. What the fuck was Melvin thinking? Cordero is a nice addition to the pitching staff, but Nix and Mench? Lee and Cruz couldn't get them a better deal? |

Hate to be the one to burst everyone else's bubble but these guys are going to be the ones left standing at the end of the fall classic:
(see attachment) And if anyone doesn't believe me ask the pitchers, the defense and Manager Jim Leyland. ![]() Last edited by DominateR; 07-28-2006 at 03:16 PM. |

Jesus, Liriano has only given up 75 hits in 100+ innings, kid is total dominance, up against the Tigs tonight though so we'll see, still him Verlander and John Lackey have been magical for my fantasy team

I remember a time when all it took to get Nelson Cruz was Keith Ginter
![]() Mench and Nix will probably become all stars just like every other mediocre AL hitter Apparently acquiring Carlos Lee is going to make Millwood, Loe, and Koronka learn how to pitch good. Go Rangers ![]() |

The Tigers need to show they can do better then a sub .500 average against good AL Teams before they win any postseason.

Carlos Lee traded to the Texas Rangers
Rangers get:
Carlos Lee Prospect Nelson Cruz Brewers get: Lanyce Nix Kevin Mench Francisco Cordero prospect Julian Cordero http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn...c.php?t=112288 I personally like the trade for the Brewers. Turnbow has been awful for about a month and lost his job as Brewers closer. And while Cordero lost his closer job as well to Otsuka, the change of leagues might help him. Mench doesn't always play because apparently Showalter didn't like him, but has hit for power when he does play. At this point Nix hasn't shown much but if he gets ab's we'll have to see what he does. I think the Rangers did only ok in this deal. Yeah they got Lee, who's going to be a monster in that park, but it doesn't change the fact that even if they win the division, they're not going anywhere because they don't pitch well enough in my opinion.. Unless you believe in Kevin Millwood and Vincente Padilla in the postseason, I don't. Thoughts? |

It's a good trade for Texas IF they can resign Lee in the offseason, otherwise they gave up a ton.
I'm going to move this thread (later on) into the MLB thread. Give this new guy a chance to see this.... |

Nah. Their offense has actually been pretty average this year. He'll give em a nice boost but won't fix the pitching problems.

Giants get:
RP Mike Stanton Nationals get: SP Shairon Martis (A) Wow Mike Stanton, looks like the Giants are trying to get younger. All they gave up was the 21 year old who pitched a no hitter in the WBC. Brian Sabean for president. |

Orlando got the standing O again at Fenway tonight, I wish the Red Sox just kept him after the 2004 season. Instead they signed Renteria for 4 yrs/40 mil and now pay him to play for the Braves

Yeah Red Sox are probably better off now without him, since they got Gonzo and he's been doing alright with the bat and playing Gold Glove D
Atleast he isn't a pussy like Renteria though, I really hate that guy now. He blamed all his troubles on everyone else, on the infeild, switching leagues, getting boo'd. Now that his back to a city where nobody cares about baseball he is tearing up, what a fag. Dude was making 10 mil a year to play baseball, I really don't get how guys can let boos effect them. |

Kenny is one crafty nigger (I say that with all due respect to actual niggers), so I'm sure he'll pull something off.
