@Denys: That line you're saying is exciting and possible, but it's the absolute ceiling. If you look at his splits, his numbers have been awful in some months. ****Bring followups to the new post or the forums.

@Grey: steals i’m not worried about. it’s his runs that intrigue me. dude has 60 through the break – that’s top 25 territory. and, most of the time, first year players get better as the year progresses. i think a 110 Run 10 HR 50 RBI 40 Steal .280 Avg line is not out of the question…

@Denys: I'd place Lewis between those two. Say Willingham, Lewis, Rivera, but I could see LEwis moving to first on that list or third depending on needs. If you need steals, he moves up. If you don't, he falls. @danimal35: I agree with the Baron.

@Steve: The upside of this kind of negotiation is, worst case scenario, you keep Ryan Howard. @danimal35: You're giving Berkman, Upton and Dookie and getting Atkins and Reyes? Don't do that trade. There's nothing wrong with trading Berkman for the right return, but you're giving up way too much there.

atkins and reyes for berkman, bj upton and dookie

what’s Fred Lewis’ value in a 16 team league (3 OFs each) over the likes of Willingham and Rivera?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: When I said it would take something like Lee + Uggla he said he would pass. He's hoping for a Pronk revival. Oh well, time to call on the Braun/Rollins owner...

I assume you’ve also heard the Tex to Boston for Yook and Craig Hansen rumors.

I’m no Theo Epstein, but if I’m the Sox, I do that trade.

I’m just talking to myself at this point, aren’t I?

HA! The Canadian craps all over the story of Crack Baby and the Magic Yankee Stadium Redemption.

Screw wrecking his swing; I doubt Morneau makes it back to Minnesota alive.

@Steve: Nothing makes me hate fantasy baseball more than an absolutely retarded trade offer. It just makes my heart sad. @Steve: If he throws in Jesus, I'd do that trade.

@p0rk burn: haha... guess I was a little off on that one huh. I should have never went against Joshy boy. Crack kills?? I say crack hits homeruns. 28 to be exact.

Who’s the dunce that keeps saying awkward shiz about Hamilton. Yes he was doped up; we ain’t dense.

Morgan is a douche nozzle.

JOSH HAMILTON IS FUCKIN AMAZING!!!! it looked like he almost hit one out of the stadium in the space where you can see the train pass by in the outfield

Followed shorty thereafter by Drew + Dook-sher!

Does Joe Morgan have any useful baseball knowledge? Why do they let him talk?

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:12:40 +0000

@Grey: The guy with Lee and Uggla just offered me Nady + S Drew + Jenks for Howard. Ah - no.

@wakeNbake: "LANCE BERKMAN WINS THE HR DERBY!!!! MARK IT DOWN!!" I vote this for comment of the week. But you need a timestamp and then a comment of how much time elapsed before Hamilton hit his 25th.

@Grey: Only if he is showing up in your dreams on a white horse like the one Mentkewitz was drawn on with the Racing Sausages chasing him. Now that would be weird!

Is that Erin Andrews doing the interviews?

@Grey: WEEI out of Boston was just talking about how crack kills.

@Grey: Damn you, cynic!

Though a “crack of the bat” joke seems appropriate here.

I also enjoyed how one of the ESPN commentators said, “He’s found a new way to get high!”

I’m guessing most people will stick with the old way.

You know what goes well with 28 home runs? Crack.

28 jacks in the first round!

@cruisinkc: Okay, even I'm rooting for him now. 95 more RBIs! Break every record, Golden Boy!

Josh Hamilton is putting on quite the show!
