Cartman 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 *phew* I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy the Sox didn't cave in to this diva and give him 4 years. We got the championship with Pedro's help, and I say thanks. Now it's time to get younger and plan for the future. I see Hudson and/or Clement in boston next year and that's a GOOD thing. I hope they don't get too foolish and dump Manny because even though he's making 20Mil, he earns it in my opinion. I love the guy. Delgado is an asshole, stay away from him. Good luck Petey, enjoy the Mets...where good players go to die. (but hey, at least he's richer now!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Delgado is an asshole, stay away from him. Delgado is actually considered to be one of the nicer players in the league. He just wasn't in the Jays budget, especially now that he is getting up in years. He's not done by a long shot, but he's seen his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Nope, just going by what both Gammons and the Boston Herald baseball guy have said. Steve Phillips also said it but he's been wrong a billion times thus far so to hell with him. Red Sox aren't pursuing Petey any further though so consider it done.

Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Great grab for the Brewers. They aren't going to be able to afford to keep Sheets longterm now though. They just added over $6mill in payroll and their budget gives them about $35-38mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I must admit that I am happier now than I was when Ash was GM. Every move he made would pretty much be guaranteed to piss me off, aside from signing Clemens.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 I like how the Brewers are looking at the market, which is drowning in overpriced talents, and moving to improve their team through some deals that are looking pretty good. The talent that they gave up in this deal seemed to have good odds on topping out (Podsednik, Vizcaino) or even regressing (Kolb) and they got a great return for it. Carlos Lee is probably one of the five most underrated players in the league right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
