Angel Pagan and Jenrry Mejia for Cliff Lee???

[duan]

seriously, this is as good as we could get. He's not signing an extension with anyone still technically owned by Tom total fuckwit leveraged buyout Hicks, so if we want him next year we can get him for a draft pick and shit loads of dough. the skankees won't sign him having been publically humiliated cause of sherman.

(well that last bit might be wrong, but I'm dreaming !)

I am very much down with this trade. After all the years where Texas lacked pitching, they get one of the most coveted pitchers in baseball. Anything to keep him from the MFYs.

Oswalt would've been better for Texas. Apparently Lee has not had much success at Arlington through the years (ERA over 7.00)

Yeah, acquired by a bankrupt team, tough. But Nolan Ryan's group will likely take over with some available capital this offseason.

The financing is in motion.

Barring some dense, dense fog conditions, Lee also won't be pitching against Texas this go-round.

Reports are the Seattle wanted a major league ready player they could play right now, when they looked at the Mets they saw Davis as that player, glad he's still here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm glad they didn't deal him, but Martinez is certainly that player also.

[Centerfield]

Davis for a half year rental? Kudos to Omar.

This team can't afford to lose any more offense.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I guess this means Mike Carp is available.

I don't share your Kahnfidence on this issue.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What part? That it's good that Davis wasn't given up or that Martinez is a major-league-ready talent?
