Wonder when that rumor will pop up again that Maggs wants out, if Detroit can't get above .500 in the near future.........

Within two years, Magglio will be a Yankee or a Red Sox. Book it.

Or my sleeper team, the Toronto Blue Jays. But yes, unless Mike Illitch keeps spending and spending (and it's actually on some difference makers), Ordonez probably won't be around in Detroit in the future.

Its Borass history. He goes out and takes the biggest deal he can find for a client, dispite the make up of the team that bids highest. Then he complains when the team doesn't win and tries to get them traded somewhere else.

where is the: [Thank you Magglio for not signing that innitial contract offer for $12 million a year for 5 years. Because he was greedy, we had pleanty of money to: sign AJ, Dye, El-duque, Iguchi and Hermanson] option?

Love it...except the Poll question was what is Magglio thinking now?

agreed. the money we freed up by letting magglio go, and the money we gained in the lee trade has been the key to this entire season. kenny did an absolutely tremendous job of finding 4 players whose real value was higher than their stock this offseason, which is moneyball at its core (just different philosophical reasons for being undervalued than beane). when you break it down:

 

AJ: bad rep drove his price wayyyyyy down. has been second only to varitek who signed for 8 mil a year. AJ got 2 mil. steal

 

Tadahito: kaz matsuis (7mil per year) shortcomings made every team wary of signing another jap middle IFer. kenny was able to get a guy who is the same damn player as marcus giles for 2 mil.

 

Dye: freak injuries (broken leg from foul ball, broken finger) drove his value down, but they werent nagging injuries. considering the prices of beltran (11.5 mil, will increase in future years) drew (11 mil) magglio (15 mil), ill take dyes 30 homers at 4 million any day of the year

 

el duque: lieber, wright, milwood, milton!, pavano all signed in that 7-10 mil range. milwood was the only one who has drastically out performed orlando, who signed for only 4. the only signing better at SP for value might have been byrd at 5

 

hermie: actually KW got lucky with this. the numbers everyone else on this list put up could have been somewhat expected, but what he has done for 2 million has been absurd.

 

not even a question who the exec of the year is this year. this is how you build a championship calibur team with a moderate payroll. (not to mention trading hot prospects above their actual value for garcia, and acquiring a potential stud in contreras, for 6)

Let's see here, he got a new deal, he's back, he's healthy, he's playing well, yeah I bet Maggs cries his little eyes out into his $5,000 pillow every night at not being able to play for the Sox, a team and city he surely has such a personal devotion and loyalty to.
