I have hopes that Omar will trade Beltran for Roger Clemens' contract.

I have hopes that you will mature into an intelligent baseball poster before I tire of you. : )

Oh come on Burg, I'm like aged wine, the first sip tastes like shit, but over time it starts to set in that this glass of wine is indeed satisfying .


Good that was terrible.


Anyway, I see a whole lot of Cliff Lee in the Met's future, come on you know you want him.

Good news Dodgers fan, I didn't think about this angle

But neither proposal was enough for the Twins to jump in, giving a modicum of hope to the perceived longshots in the field, most prominently the Mets and perhaps even the Mariners and Rangers (though there are questions whether Santana would OK a deal to those two teams). And while there's been no indication of talks with the Dodgers yet, baseball people believe they are best equipped to make a Santana deal because of their deep farm system and their signing of Andruw Jones, which could make young outfielders Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier expendable

I say...Mark Hendrickson, Esteban Loiaza, Rudy Seanez, Chan Ho Park, and Nomar Garciapparra should be sent in a package for Johan Santana ;)

Omar doesn't manage the Twins silly.

All kidding aside I really like the Rule V pickup of Mark Register.
