Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 29, 2003 I don't see David Wells coming back...of course as a Red Sox fan I wouldn't mind seeing it because his back will break by May. With both Torre and Stottlemyer back though I think Wells goes home to San Diego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 29, 2003 So much for mystique and aura. A lot can be said for mystique and aura. In fact, if the ghosts in monument park weren't so disgusted with the total lack of effort during the world series, they would have played a hand in game six. At least Mussina is rock solid. He'll break his leg. I mean, really, why the hell wouldn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 29, 2003 I don't see David Wells coming back...of course as a Red Sox fan I wouldn't mind seeing it because his back will break by May. So? I'm just loading up on the quality pitchers so we can shove TDW out of the rotation. Wells in a wheelchair or Weaver. To me, the choice is obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2003 Too much money. Especially for a guy who hasn't really produced in postseason play. Sheffield's a long time N.L. hitter. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts too A.L. pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Sheffield has a .473 postseason OBP. Besides, we're talking the second bast hitter on the market. A HOF quality hitter. It might be too much money, but the Yankees won't regret it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 So what are they going to do now? Are they keeping Soriano at 2B or moving him to CF, Williams to DH, leaving Nick Johnson out, and going to get a FA 2B? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 I don't think anyone knows at this point. They seem to play by ear, get the best guy available, and move pieces as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Richie Sexon to the Diamondbacks for Junior Spivey, Craig Counsell, Lyle Overbay, and Chris Capuano. Once again Brewers management drops the ball because they got absolute shit in return for Sexon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Well if Overbay is really the prospect that everyone thinks, then they didn't get nothing in return. But if he is just another overhyped prospect then yeah they got nothing. I can't believe in their effort to trim payroll they take on the contract of Junior Spivey?!? Arizona goes from having to tack him onto a Schilling deal to a Milwuakee team willing to take him. Genius. Pure genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 The D'backs are in a good position heading into this offseason. Their lineup is solid, with Sexson now leading the way along with Luis Gonzalez. Alex Cintron hit .317 last year. Scott Hairston is a much heralded prospect. Meanwhile, their pitching staff claims Randy Johnson as the anchor, along with Brandon Webb, Casey Fossum, Elmer Dessens, and a handful of prospects. As for the Brewers, a bold prediction. The Brewers will lose more games than the Detroit Tigers this season. They've got no bench strength, and beyond Ben Sheets there's not a single reliable pitcher on the staff. A new stadium brought nothing but a huge cut in payroll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 30, 2003 That female sausage racer that got hit by the bat was cute, and I think the quote of the year has to be from her too "I don't see what the big deal is, I'm just a sausage" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 I have an idea for the Yanks: clone Jeff Weaver and make the clones occupy all the spots in the rotation. And then the Yanks could trade Mussina, Contreras and Lieber to the Mets for Roger Cedeno and Mo Vaughn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 I know it's only late November....but at this pace I think next year the Yankees might finish 2nd maybe even *gasp* 3rd in the AL East.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 I think at this pace, the division standings will be..... 1.Boston 2. New York 3. Baltimore (With Vlad Guerrero likely to be on their roster, they will be a real threat to the Sox and Yankess) 4. Toronto (Also a threat to Sox and Yankees. Really interchangable with the Os) 5. Tampa Bay (They'll win 75 this year though, which must be a franchise record) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at that article it looks like the Yankees want every day to be an old timers day at the park. BTW for you Yank-me fans do you really believe Pettite will end up in the Astros Mud n' Blood this year? I would've thought that in light of the Schilling trade Georgie would throw everything short of his yacht at AP. Of course it as nice seeing AP and Roger Clemens at today's Texans game in someone's luxury suite. Hmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
