Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The whole LeBron thing is kinda funny. It'd be a lot funnier if it weren't the Cubs of all teams (even their minor league teams) mocking someone for a lack of rings. 103 years and counting? I've lost track.

Not sure I would want Kenny in charge of it though. I'm praying for it. I got my World Series at 22. I can wait. It'll suck. But this just can't continue. And like you said, we won't be able to get started on this until Ozzie and KW are gone. So maybe another beatdown by the Twins wouldn't be the absolute worst thing in the world in the long-run (I obviously hope that's not the case and we win the division). But I have serious doubts, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is 20 and sporting an ERA OF 1.78 at AAA. I f***ing hate the Braves. Their scouts must've sold their souls to the baseball devils or somethin'. They been doin' this s*** for 20+ years.

knightni Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I truly believe that the Jackson/Hudson + Holmberg trade happened because Washington's GM wanted a proven SP for Dunn at the deadline, then backed out on a Dunn/Jackson trade after KW made the first part of the trade with Arizona.

And I said at the time...if that's the case, and KW got caught with a player he didn't want, that's as blatant of a fireable offense as there is in sports.

Too often this year, it's been a resource to promote Royals/Rays prospects. I know their farm systems are great, but they seem to favor those guys more.

danman31 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'll give any hitter/fielder with a 'plus arm' a shot to pitch. Why not? Your downside is a minimal minor league contract and your upside is Sergio Santos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 With the "Poreda" watch this week, can anyone shed some light on a question for me? If someone is on the 40-man roster do they get paid the major league minimum? I was in Memphis last year and Timo Perez was playing for the opposing team and someone said he is making six figures, how can that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will sign guys to minor league contracts for six figures sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
