Finally Friday
Well I've been incredi-busy at my new job...for those who don't know, I sell ticket packages and advertising at the Ottawa Senators now. Let me know if you want access to this year's playoffs.
Not much going on in the world, so enjoy quick news:
- Craig Wilson signed a 1 year, $2million deal with the Braves. So essentially, Schurholz traded Laroche for Gonzalez, Wilson and a prospect. Smart GMs make smart moves and this is one of them...
- David Wells is contemplating an offer from the Padres, not sure he'll take it...I think he really thinks he has an opportunity to win in Toronto, it's up to J.P. to show him the money
- I love that Rod Barajas could impact Barry Bonds, hey union next time you advise a player not to take a contract he has agreed to, think of the repercussions! The fact that the Giants may be trying to get out of the Bonds deal is surprising, I thought they ignored all his mistakes. It's a tough time to be suspected of drug use...speaking of drug users, Ron Mexico should learn the airport rules.
- Back to Mr. 25, Bonds does his best to keep McGwire and Rose out of the Hall Of Fane...by supporting them. Can you just see Pete Rose calling up Big Mac:
Mac: "Pete, please never call me again...bad enough Bonds is supporting me, I don't want to have my name associated to yours"
Pete: "Betcha 20 bucks you never make the Hall of Fame"

I didn't realize Wells made so little over the past couple years. Assuming we'd have to pay him a bit more, we're looking at 6ish Mil; a managable salary, I think. For that price we should be trying to get him. I wouldn't want to get into a bidding war with SD, but JP should be doing a bit more than "kicking the tires."
I don't know if i'd pay him $6 because of age/injury last season...but yeh J.P. should really be looking into this.
Yeh I'm iffy on giving Wells that much money, but R.J. and Clemens will be getting twice and three times that so...
There's an interesting article about how much better tha AL is than the NL here
John Sickels examines Adam Lind...ROY candidate? Only if he gets playing time!
And it's confirmed that Brent Lillibridge is the player going to Atlanta from Pittsburgh. There's also a player going the other way. Lillibridge would be the ninth best MLB shortstop (according to 2007 Projected WARP) if he was in the Majors next year..great deal atlanata.
