who is the Toronto pitcher that's lefty...is it BJ Ryan? He's a pen guy tho, thought they had a lefty starter? Doc is a righty, no?

bj ryan is their closer. the jays don't have a lefty starter. they did have ted lilly a couple years ago. maybe that is who you are thinking of.

You don't think Manny will go to the Yankees $$$$$$$$$$$

As far as Lowe I wouldn't mind getting him back, but the rumor when they didn't sign him again was he was cheating on his wife, and they didn't approve of that...

I think Manny wants to play the field still. And The Yanks have a log jam in the OF with Nady in Right and Damon/Matsui in Left.

Though if they gave him enough Manny wouldn't care about dhing.

my dad is at the pats game listneing to some sports radio show and they are in talks with mark teixiera.

anyone hear anything like this??

yea but Matsui's always hurt, Damons got a noodle arm and doesnt put up numbers like Manny does

I heard the other day on the broadcast that Manny might wanna join Charlie Manuel in Philly??

and that The Brewers are ready to throw tons of $$$$ to CC Sabathia?

As a fan of the Brewers, I can say that they do have a TON of money coming off the books this year (for them of course) just with Sheets and Gagne leaving. However, they are going to have to pay a pissed off Prince, and J.J. Hardy which will cut into that. As such, I really don't see how they keep C.C., other than he loved playing there, has friends in Cameron and Riske, and has a chance to be a huge star in a small town. I'm afraid these are small-time things in a world where he can go home to L.A. and hit, or to the Yankees to become a superstar.

IF the magic happens it would be a pretty stellar staff of four with Sabathia (29 y/o LH), Gallardo (22 y/o RH), Parra (24 y/o LH), Bush (28 y/o RH), and "former Red Sox great" Suppan (RH). Just to let you know you DO NOT want Dumpster NL-AL pitching rarely works out, and, aside from the fact that he's a Pearl Jam fan, there's nothing really good about him outside of Wrigley Field.

Also Solat...I realize the Sox catch the ball well, but my question was what is their range factor? I know you know stats like that pretty well, so that's all I was wondering.

I hear that.
All I know is the Yankees better come up with SOME kind of a quality no.1 or 2 pitcher side by side with Wang and I guess Joba. One more big time batter like Manny wouldnt hurt either

they need teixiera more than manny imo

Manny would be nice but it won't happen, I see the Yanks going younger power bat. I think the Yanks are tired of the older expensive power bat.

On the other I kinda would like to see him in a Yankee uniform just to power up their payroll.

Peace

I wouldnt mind going with the youth movement either, but lets not forget. Mannys from the Crown Heights area and still has plenty of family and friends up there, so it might not just come down to the money. Maybe he might wanna retire back home? Who knows

That depends do you consider hitting .358 wth 13 HR and 43 RBI "not much"? (54 games)

Extrapolated over a full season, Tex's numbers in Anaheim would be .358, 39HR and 129 RBI. Triple crown type numbers, but not much otherwise.

ah ok, it didnt seem like he did all that...was kind of a quiet trade.
thanx In that case I'll take Texeira

That's not saying much, you'd trade A-Rod for a soda machine. Hahahahah.
