Funny thing is, even with the Mets gaining Santana, we're still better than them if you compare teams.

I heard the Twins took the 4th best offer on the table. The Mets' offer was fourth to Boston's, NYY's, and the Padres (I think). Stupid move for Twins.
I bet the Mets made this move to counter the Braves acquisition of Mark Teixeira. This should get interesting if both teams resign both players.

On the poll, I voted for Boyer, but I think Ring will probably get it too.
CL Sori
SU Moylan
SU Acosta
MR Ring
MR Ohman
MR Boyer
MR Yates
It's a toss up if the Braves get rid of Boyer or Yates when Gonzalez is better. Boyer is out of options, and I think the Braves will go by the stats for that decision. So would I.

Then he's doing everything right. I cannot stand Scott Boras, and am glad to see A Rod and AJ Drop him. If Tex drops him, he's basically done!

Sounds like Fan Fest was really crowded from the pics of Talking Chop.
Here's my thinking on the Kotsay trade:
Yes it was horrible. We gave up a top reliever, who was a bit of a head case, and Richmond, whos mediocre at best. Why'd we trade that? Well, my answer, the only one I can think of, is 1B slugger Mark Teixeira.
It sounds like the Braves wanted to have the A's eat money, so they can have a proven CF, with only having to pay around $2M. I think they are looking to have as much money as possible for next year to resign Tex.
I doubt this happens, but with Tim Hudson being paid $13M this year, I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded for about 4 good top specs. I doubt it though.
One other thing is, trying to save money is hard. A lot of people ask: Why didn't we sign Corey Patterson? He would have wanted $6M (not worth it).
The last thing I thought about this trade was: If it's costing us that much, why make it? No one said we had to trade for Mark Kotsay, a guy who had bad back problems, and only played in 52 games last year. We had Josh Anderson, Gregor Blanco, and if worse comes to worse, Brent Lillibridge (Which is not a bad option).
So the only conclusion I can come to on this trade is, the Braves wanted two things in there center field this year. Experience and cheap 1 yr replacement.
They got it.

I didn't like it either to tell you the truth. I really don't like my own. I'd rather have the side bars go with that dark deep navy blue color, and go with my posts as Whit background with white words and a bigger title.

Yeah I agree, and I'm happy with either Lopez or Sammons.

Nice. Here's a summary of what my article would look like.
Clint Sammons: Really good, but needs to develop more.
Pena: Sucks at defense. Not the guy for backup role.
Miller: Just plain sucks. Not thanks.
Lopez: If he performs well in Spring Training, he's your man. He's a low risk guy, so why not?

Nah. It's ok. Thanks though.
In a few months, I'm going to buy a domain, and pick a different host, I guess. I hate Blogger. I look forward to switching.
