    No deal

    Vasquez can ask for a trade since he signed a multi-year contract with the Yankees. I remember the first time I saw this come up. It was about 12 years ago when Lasorda was the interim GM of the Dodgers and he had traded for Todd Worrell from the Reds. Worrell was a Cincy area product and didn't...

    RJ is a Yankee

    No, but I can read what he says in the papers. Or didn't you see my earlier post? "In 41 years of examining thousands of pitchers, Dr. Frank Jobe has never come across an injury like Brad Penny's. Consequently, no one can be certain when Penny will pitch again. "If the bruise is on the...

    RJ is a Yankee

    I think I'll take Dr Frank Jobe's diagnosis over yours. Right now Penny isn't throwing, and they don't know when he can begin throwing. That sounds like a broken down pitcher to me. I wish it wasn't true, but until I read some positive report on Penny's condition I can't believe that he's ready...

    RJ is a Yankee

    And Green did the same thing this year as he did in 2003...lousy first half, good 2nd half. In 2004 he went 253/.335/.399 before the All Star break and .281/.371/.529 afterwards. His defense has also become a liability if he's going to play RF. But even if he does put up numbers like his 2nd...

    RJ is a Yankee

    So instead we get a subpar Shawn Green in the walk year of his $16 million yr deal, and Brad Penny who the great Dr Frank Jobe can't figure out what to do with the nerve in his shoulder. At least RJ proved this year his knee can still get it done. Outside of wins, his other numbers were right...

    RJ is a Yankee

    I wouldn't believe much out of the NY papers when it comes to rumors. Even the vaunted NY Times has been having credibility problems(see Jayson Blair). All I've heard out of RJ is that he'd be perectly content to stay here in Az where his home is. And I'd rather see a lock Hall of Fame pitcher...

    RJ is a Yankee

    Yes, I'd call him oft injured when he reinjured his shoulder in Spetember after having surgery on it in the spring. Along with the broken leg, he's also missed time with a strained hamstring, ESPN has this in his 2003 scouting report; 2003 Season In a July game against the Devil Rays, Julio...

    RJ is a Yankee

    Better hope Green or Johnson vetos this trade. At least RJ is still putting up his usual numbers outside of wins, which is only because the DBacks offense is pathetic. Green is due the same $16 million that RJ gets in 2005, but Green hasn't done much of anything the last 2 years. Certainly...

    Spring training thread

    Well some teams have already seen Webb twice, and in the case of the Giants he made 4 starts gainst them last season. He pitched against the Phillies twice in the same week, and did the same thing against the Astros. Cincy, LA, and the Giants also saw him pitch against them in back to back...

    Catcher Controversy

    Bummer about your pneumonia. I spent 3 days in the hospital in October with the same thing so I know what a drag that can be. Get well and keep taking those antibiotics through the entire regimen. Not that it matters, but your post was only about 1 hour before mine. The articles on the...

    Catcher Controversy

    So none of you believe the Repulsive, or did you not read the article about Mayne's signing? "Mayne, 35, will share time with Robby Hammock while Barajas, who is eligible for salary arbitration, faces the prospect of receiving a measly offer or not being tendered a contract by Saturday night...

    Ansman not selected

    Suprised to see Craig Ansman go untouched through the rule 5 draft since he wasn't protected by the Diamondbacks. I guess the rest of the league was put off by his shaky defense or maybe his injury last season.

    Colby is back

    Kim's younger, and up to this point has had a better career than Hillenbrand. And even though Kim has fallen out of favor somewhat in Boston due to his immaturity, at the time of the trade it was clear that Kim had more value on the trade market than Hillenbrand. But that's been a pattern for...

    Jacque Jones headed to desert?

    Well they're both the same age, but that's about all they have in common. I'll take Jones over Hillenbrand because of his 40 point higher career OPS, which includes an OBP that's 21 points higher, than Hillenbrand's in 800 more career at bats. And Jacque Jones can actually field his position...
