^I'd like a league like that with 12 teams. OM has returned to the south side!!!

Yesterday, when I was listening to Baseball 365, they said that Prior's agent stated in the newspaper that Prior was never even included in this talk for Tejada.

Interesting. I'm still suprised that Tampa had all those guys rumored to be traded for so long, even after Chuck LaMar was let go.

They will probably come back in a couple of years and be damn good like they were in 03. Haha...They win and then a couple of years later they got to move their players because of issues surrounding the organization.

I agree. The Cubs wont give them Zambrano and Pie so a deal won't happen there unless one of the sides gets desperate. I say Tejada stays in Baltimore.

Talk seems to have shifted from Chicago to Boston. I saw it a while ago on ESPNNEWS, Boston had offered Manny for Tejada straight up but now they have included Clement in the offer. The contracts of Manny and Clement are 20 mil apart from Tejada. I don't see that happening and if it did Boston would have to eat alot of the money. Plus, they are in the same division. Just figured I'd post that.

I think he can play all of the outfield spots. HAHA. Why didn't the O's try to keep Byrnes in Baltimore and move him into RF, instead of blowing $$ off on Burnitz? Pretty solid move by the DBacks.

I hope the operation goes very well.

No doubt the organization, the fans, the cities, and the coaches have been a relief for Contreras. He and Coop have shown what they can do when they work together. I hope the two sides can come to an agreement.

I think it was a pretty good move. He's pretty good to listen to unlike some of his associates.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Did anyone watch the World Series last year? Both teams competing for the World Series had s*** offenses. Pitching, Pitching, and more pitching. That is what wins. Why is it so hard for GM's to figure out? Great Point. Well some GM's have been working hard at that. Texas has got Millwood and it looks like they get the point, KC has been pulling out some suprise stops at pitching, even Toronto is now atleast attempting to bolster the pitching with Burnett although im not sure which is bigger ''the price or the reward'', the Cubs have made 2 solid aquisitions at the bullpen with Howry and Erye. There's probably a lot I left out but that's whats popping into my head now. Another point is that the price for pitching is sky-rocketed. Even the average pitcher can get 5-6 mil and with one good year they push to 9-10 mil. It is true that the market is changing, especially for the pitchers.

All I can say is HA!

I guess Hendry realizes now it's going to be way too hard to trade for anyone good so they might settle with K- Pat. But they might still get Jones according to some rumors here (I dont have any news on him) or I heard on the radio they will offer Burnitz a contract for less money ( dont know anything on that either) but that's what I heard on the radio. See unlike the Sox, the Cubs dont have the things out teams want and where they do, they can't afford to lose them.
