Coming from the man that turned Richs powerhouse(BCML) into the ground Coming from the man whose team won the division on this league last year and whose team is head and shoulders better than yours. And we both have been here since the first day. Yea you did a nice job in a nutsty division and yes I did draft for youth the 1st yr, but you also turned the best team in a league to garabage with your no leadoff hitters and everyone in my lineup will hit atleast 25 HRs and banking on Mark Prior to come through. Not to mention your nutsty trades. Is that why you couldnt last?

yes, because reyes completely fell out of the sky and that good season was completly random. lets ignore all the tools and hype and scouting reports the kid has in his favor. lets ignore the fact that he is one of the most dynamic players to come along in awhile. let's completely ignore that. lets just call him some random guy that had a good season and might be good if he continues that in two years. sweet. Hype doesn't always translate into success. And I wouldn't call a player "succesfull" after one good season. Like I've tried to make you understand, I know the chances of him continuing to put up numbers like last year are better than not, but I will buy into that once I see that consistency.

thank you. if you wish to continue looking like a fool, then so be it. I wont stop you. if you want to wait to have a player be an all-start for 5 years before you buy into them, then im sure you'll buy yourself an ipod in 3 years or something. Maybe you'll get a DVD player sometime this year, too.

Didn't Cano hit .342 last year? That's pretty far from "beans" I think. You'd have to be a pretty hardcore Sox fan to devalue a player that hit .342. its not so much devaluing cano, it's in comparison to Reyes. i think every single GM in this league would pick Reyes over Cano by a good margin. if you don't, then you're foolish. Sure most teams would pick Reyes; however, when filling the needs of a team one must pick and chose. Oakland needed a better 2nd baseman and also got a replacement SS for this season. It is win now vs win later mentality...also ankiel is making a come back as an outfielder maybe when Reyes can't run anymore he might learn to pitch. HAHAHAHA!!!!!

so you sacrifice a top SS to get a good 2B and then just create a hole at SS by using a fillabuster? Couldnt you have kept the better player at SS and received a fillabuster at a far cheaper price at 2B, considering there are quite a few 2B around that can be had cheaply.

in addition to trading for a closer when it's admittedly not a need of said GM, and then in order to obtain fossil closer, sacrifices very good young setup man.
in the wookie defense....... THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE

yes because i clearly care so much about post counts. i wouldnt have such a huge problem with it aside from the complete raping ... but it coincides after texas got raped for the prince too.
two horrible trades. this league will become extremely top heavy soon. not that i have a problem with that since im clearly on the top, i need more nuts teams to feast on.
