Bump for update and completion

Thanks for the great write up Al. I will finish yours tonight, work is crazy right now. You hit the nail on the head. I went after veteran pitchers who would sign short term while I build through the draft. We'll see how it works.

2004 is a year for fresh ideas and new beginnings. Not only do your Tropics have new, stunning, Dallas Cowboys inspired uniforms, but, there is a new philosophy being shown this year. DEFENSE. That's right, gone are the days of watching Durkin Turrell kick the ball around the diamond like he does ba...

Good luck Tim.

Sorry Ben. I thought McConnell going down was bad. This is unbelievable.

I tried him at closer and middle relief. Starting him was in the plans this spring. I honestly hope these two do well for you. On my end, Thumper is the new face of our franchise, especially with McConnell going down for good today.

Thanks guys. It's devastating. I'm seriously bummed. One of the guys that was easy to get attached to. A true stud player. Creates a huge hole on my roster.

I'll take a stab at Hawaii. Going to be a little while though. Flu is kicking my tail.

I love it. Very much like MLB.com.

RECTE:

Once confirmed, could you put Thumper on my active roster and toss Jimenez in the minors wherever there is a spot. I will take it from there.

Thanks!

I agree. We both filled needs without creating more. Feel very good for both of us on this one.

PHX GM Mike Bieschke, at home battling the flu, and WSH GM Sean Marko have completed a trade. To Washington: P Chester 'Word' Palabra and P Dominick Bromley To Phoenix: SS Waichirou 'Thumper' Moronobu and P António Jiménez Thanks for working with me Sean. Good luck to you and the 'Bobbies'!

These look great. Can't go wrong with blue and gray.

On the block: P Francis Garza -good starter, has been a reliever too C Elwood Hope -decent defensively with good power 1B Santiago Berrios -simply put, no place to play here 2B William Lowery -solid, older infielder SS Gary Morales -average contact, decent defense, big power OF Joaquin Ayala -young ...

Sorry man. I will do this moving forward. I thought they just were placed somewhere in the organization and I had to move them afterwards.

Oh, Ryan Braun, blah, blah, blah. Suspension lifted, blah, blah, blah. Hey, Brouhas fans, guess what still happened?? [youtube]rDcTnFK-ChI[/youtube] :crazylaugh: That's ok. Gamel will play better D and the combo of Gamel/Ramirez will out produce last years Fielder/McGehee combo. at least we had him...

I need to get the Talons relevant before we can get a rivalry going, but I will say your Reds comment was one of the funniest things I've heard this week.

Welcome Tim! You get the defending EBA champs.

This made my day! Go Crew!

so now, is Fontenot really worth 1/4 to 1/5 a team's salary cap? wow! Fontenot?!

No way. No one is worth 1/4 of your payroll. There are a couple of guys pushing $20-$25 mil though. That's a death wish in my opinion.
