Told latest report has Jays ending negotiations for Duquette, an Os official said "That's what, the 4th time they've said that?"

 

If things do stall, do you guys think that KW becomes an option again? The O's were asking for Jeff Hoffman, Max Pentecost, and Mitch Nay for Duquette.

 

I don't think KW would require that compensation but what about something like Aaron Sanchez and D.J Davis?

Kenny is going nowhere. This offseason proves it.

Well, personally, I wouldn't recommend cocaine, heroin, weed or any of the other stuff, and only drink in moderation, it just isn't worth the cost... but it might help the writing. :)

 

Just funning you, man. The anecdotes include drunken groping of waitresses at some of Denver's swankiest places, where he's actually been officially banned from, as well as numerous sexual harassment lawsuits against the Broncos FO, according to a woman I work closely with, who worked a long time at Dove Valley, and somehow, none of it ever even makes the local sports radio, as far as I know.

 

And then there was this:

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_23663809/bron...att-russell-tom

 

"The drunken driving incidents involving Russell and Heckert have led to a potential greater concern about the front-office culture at Dove Valley. The perception is these are a bunch of guys having a good time watching tape."

 

"Are they perfect? No. But there are a lot of really, really, really good people working here. And to say we have a culture problem here that centers around alcohol, I just don't believe that."

 

"Indeed, the punishment could have been more severe. According to a Colorado State Patrol report, Russell had a blood-alcohol content of .246 — more than three times the legal limit when he was arrested after he hit a Breckenridge police SUV.

 

Heckert, a former general manager with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns, had a blood-alcohol content of .162 upon his release from jail seven hours after he was arrested June 11, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Department."

 

 

These guys weren't just drunk, they were Fisk/LaRussa smashed. For the locals like oldsox - If Dove Valley were in Jeffco, Elway and his boys would be doing time.

A woman I dated several years ago here in Vegas knew Elway and had some similar type stories...the guy certainly wasn't above using some mind-altering substances from time to time.

Nationals at both the major and minor league level....

 

You're right, I forgot about them. I would put them first and the Sox second, but I think the Sox might have more depth in the minors than Washington.

The best pitching prospect in the minor leagues, Lucas Giolito, is a Nat. So is A.J. Cole, who will be ready to step into the rotation by 2016. Joe Ross is a fast mover, Erick Fedde a high-end talent coming off Tommy John surgery and Reynaldo Lopez just your typical comes-outta-nowhere-throwing-100-mph right-hander. That's five potential frontline starters, and while graduating even one of them toward the top of a major league rotation would be a win, it speaks to Washington's ability to develop talent.

 

from Jeff Passan yahoosports.com

 

 

With the White Sox, you have Rodon, Montas (we could equate him to Lopez here) and Danish. Let's, for argument's sake, equate Rodon and Giolito. That still leaves Cole, Ross and another first rounder in Fedde...whereas with the Sox you've got the likes of Beck and Erik Johnson.

 

Advantage Nationals

Yeah I'd let KW go for a prospect /young player or two

That is the kind of package that gets you a superstar.

thinking back on this, Sale and Abreu are establish.... Balt wants prospects.

 

The prospects that Baltimore was asking for were the type of package that gets you a superstar player. To translate it to a more transitive sense, I just replaced a couple of superstar players in there instead of the prospects, to drive home how much the Orioles were asking for.
