Oh yeah, I should post something for these guys even though they're still alive in 2005. It would generally be nice for them to get younger and cheaper, but I'm not just going to dump the old and expensive guys who can still contribute. The value has to be there. We also lean too far to...

What better time to announce that Brad is on the trading block than when the Astros finally make the World Series? Come on Stearns, it's time to overpay for a top defensive catcher with a decent stick! Congrats to all you Houston fans! Good luck in the Series!

Kevin

Well, apparently Travis and I just couldn't wait until the playoffs ended and the trading season officially opened- we had to go ahead and get our first deal done. Springfield sends Tom Gordon, Kenny Lofton and a fifth round pick to HAR for Russ Ortiz, Gil Meche and 50 K. If a...

The Astros snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last night was eerily similar to Ft. Worth against Grand Prarie in the late 80's, early 90's ARBA League Championship Series. In one case Dave Winfield hit a game winning home run needing a 1 to hit the hr. And Keith rolled that 20 sided d...

Eric

I really needed some success after Laramie's brutal performance against HDT... G1 - Carpenter vs. Johnson. Cy Young favorite Johnson was predictably dominant, allowing only 5 baserunners. However, 3 of those were in the 5th inning and Randa's single drove in a run. Meanwhi...

Y.O.C.

I have received votes from 9 owners thus far, and several proposals are right around the 50% mark. So if you have any interest in any of the proposals please be sure to vote before 11:59 pm Wednesday the 19th!

Travis

Game - 1 Harden vs Garcia Game featured blown saves by Gagne and Cordero. Gagne gives up 2 runs in the 9th and Cordero gives up the tying run in the bottom of the 9th. Games ends in the 12th on a David Ortiz hr. Homeruns by A-Rod, Ben Davis, Uribe, and Ortiz. Har wins 8-7....

gm 5 lar pushes across a run in the 1st on 2 walks and 2 singles. lar leaves the bases loaded in the 2nd and hdt wastes a 1 out triple by ordonez. lar takes a 2-0 lead on a rollins hr in the 4th. hdt responds after a sin and hbp with a 3 run bp hr from ordonez. hdt adds another run on 2 out sin from casey. hdt 4-2. sco...

Travis

Not to be mean or cause an uproar, but this has to be the worst rule proposal I have ever seen. Because some of us follow hs and foreign players we shouldn't be penalized. How about this, I am sure some people don't follow A ball so why don't we limit the draft to just AA players. From som...

All - Here are the official rule proposals for the upcoming season. Thanks to everyone who took the time to think through issues and submit rules. Since everyone who submitted proposals has also provided a rationale for them, I am also going to include those rationales. Of cou...

High Schoolers

Hey, a whole bunch of us (approx. 100) are listed in Baseball America's top 100 high school list. Throw in Baseball America's "Baseball for the Ages" and you get some middle schoolers. There's not really a lot of reading or research necessary. And, if anyone...

With the tune-up of the regular season over, Santa Fe went all medeivel on Camden for a 4-game sweep. I don't have the stats with me, but SFE scored something like 40 runs in the series, capping it off with a 6-0 win in Game 4 behind a Zach Greinke shutout. Congrats to Camden on winning their divis...

This morning I deleted a couple of political posts. While I certainly love the first amendment and everyone's right to freedom of speech and vigorous debate, this board is not the place for it, and I intend to delete any political or mean-spirited posts or other things that just do not belong. If a...
