Took a little mini vacation to the beach past few days-hotter than hell. Have 3 plays today-time to cash!

5 Units-Yankees-155 over the A's

4 Units-Cards-165 over the Expos

4 Units-Mariners+175 over the Orioles

Have to go back and figure out the record, be back in a bit to post that!
Good Luck on all your action!

I havent haven't seen your take on the nomar trade...

Any thoughts you wanna share with us?

My observation is that they gave up a proven number 5 hitter while ending up with 4 number 9 hitters/platoon players.

Dont get me wrong I couldnt justify paying nomar any more than 15 million a year but to get 2 downgrades in defense and offense in mintkwicz and cabrera I would think they might have at least considered their pitching problems when making the deal.


what do you think?

Jaypaw-My view is that Nomar was out of here anyways after this year. So at least they got some youth out of Cabrera, which I like a lot. I think he'll do just fine and get better each year. Nomar wanted out, so you might as well get something for him. Mentkevitz-I think he's polish so how can't I like him. He'll be a filler, we'll see. I agree about the pitching though, they could've used another arm! I see your still wagering against them. Good Luck!

Yep

I think that without pitching the team is gonna suffer - and the lowe/wake/arroyo combo is great for making money

add in a constantly overpriced pedro and schilling, a sterile offense, and a consistent injury list that has more members than the entire bullpen and there are certainly ways to make a few bucks off em now and again

Cabrera may be good and young but you cant deny that he has less than half the talent of nomar on offense and on D, and the team certainly did need a real first baseman (especially a Polish one) - but they should have been able to get loaiza at least for him dont you think?
