In case you want to relive the happy moment again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob7Z8GcP2QM&mode=related&search= Suggestion, play it a second time and just listen. How good were Vin and Joe when you compare them to Joe and Tim? Later

]Granted, the interest isn't much but its the principal of the thing really. Soupy, did you mean the principal or the principle? Both might apply in this circumstance. Later

From today's Baseball America AFL notes:] The Mets pulled righthander Philip Humber from the Fall League after making only one start for Mesa. The club chose to shut down the 2004 first-rounder to control his innings as he comes back from Tommy John surgery. He was replaced on the Solar Sox roster by lefthander Blake McGinley Later

2006 World Series: Detroit vs. St. Louis
MFS62 replied to Willets Point's topic in Archived Game Threads
Some of the old time baseball purists must be spinning in their graves at the sight of Granderson (174Ks) and strikeout-prone Preston Wilson batting at or near the top of the batting order. Later -
Looks like the draft pick compensation for signing free agents hasn't been eliminated, just modified. From today's Daily News: ]In terms of draft-pick compensation for free agents lost, there will no longer be "Type C" free agents and the top 20% - instead of the top 30% - of available players will be classified as "Type A" while the next 30% will be labeled "Type B." A team that loses a "Type A" player will continue to get a draft pick directly from the team that signs him, in addition to a supplemental or "sandwich" pick (a pick between rounds). A team that loses a "Type B" free agent, however, will get only a "sandwich" pick, meaning the team that signs him does not have to give up a pick. Later

KC wrote: Steve, we're gonna whip you into shape if it kills us this off-season. The Senator is an old (and funny maybe for a day or two, but not for four years) nickname for a pitcher who was a decent Met. That stuff is gonna draw at- tention to yourself that you don't want here. Not trying to be argumentative, but why does that nickname cause folks here to be upset? Was there something about this before I joined the board? IIRC, Leiter has admitted that he has political aspirations. And its certainly more flattering than "The Gambler" is for Kenny R. Just asking. Later -

I'm happy for him, and proud he is a Met. Later -
Isn't there a big difference between a bruise and tendonitis? Is there a doctor in the house? Later

]There's no denying Oliver had a great year but he's got a career ERA+ of 94 and he just turned a 125 at age 35. Pine tar? EDIT: Its funny how different reporters hear different things. For example, in the article above: ] The Mets could move him in a deal for a starting pitcher or another hitter, perhaps using Milledge in the deal. Randolph said he would not rule out having Milledge start in left field next season, but he added, somewhat cryptically: �Who knows. They could be used in trades.� This writer makes you think that Willie was talking about Lastings and Aaron, from the quote's positioning in the story. But the guy in the Daily News this morning indicates that Willie's response was to a question about left field, and his comment was about Lastings and Endy Chavez. Later

Miguel "Iron Man" Pinango I noticed during the season that during one extended stretch of games it seemed like he was starting every other day. Where did this info come from? Is there a good website that lists all minor league transactions? Omar has picked up players who were once good for other organizations, then fell into disfavor and were sent to the minors(Maine, OPerez). It would be interesting to see what other once-highly-rated prospects are now available. Later

FK, How likely do you think it would be if a team ante'd up $30 million for the rights to negotiate with him, then couldn't reach agreement (as in pay something close to his asking price) with him? If they want to flush $30 mil down the toilet, let them send it to me instead. Later

="Edgy DC"]Not that I'm big on the expenses of this posting racket, but that would not amount to an A-Rod-sized deal. Well, this is what I based my statement on. I've read on various places: The posting fee might go as high as $30 million. Boras is his agent, so I think he'll get close to, if not more than, the $15/yr deal Scott got for Chan Ho Park. He might sign for 4 years. So, if you pro-rate $30 million over four years, that's $7.5 million per year. Add that to $15 million per year, that totals $22.5 million per. And that does not include incentives. And that is pretty close to the first years of A-Rod's contract. Later

Matsuzaka could really break the bank. I've sen estimates that it could cost a major league team $15-20 million just to obtain his negotiating rights from his Japanese club. That would be in addition to the money they would have to spend to sign him. Is he really worth an A-Rod sized contract? Signing him would make it nearly impossible to address other needs. He sounds like a better fit/ more likely a signee for the Yankees. They have several high priced contracts coming off their payroll, they seem to be set in the lineup for next year and pitching is their #1 need. Later

Thanks, Val. So, it still becomes a surname, not a middle name. Later

Hasn't the NFL Draft been upheld in the courts, most recently from a challenge by that running back from Ohio State? But I'm not sure if baseball's exemption from anti-trust laws would make a difference. Later

I'm still not sure without seeing his birth certificate. It is very common on Spanish speaking countries to use the mother's maiden name as part of the person's second-to-last name. Unlike where women today use a hyphen when they add their married name to their maiden name, the Latinos do not hyphenate them. Someone unfamilliar with that custom could easily mistake the mother's name as a middle name. So, William may be his true middle name. Later
