@Grey: Assuming everyone in the draft will see this, but anyway where do you think Sparkakis should be drafted?

@big o: Didn't hear anything about depression with him. I'd probably give him around 27/7 and .300.

@Grey:
i listened to a show where the panelists alluded to
lance berkman’s troubles , last year , were personal , in nature ,
and not physical .
did you hear anything about this ?
it’s not that dreaded clinical depression , is it ??
and exactly what the hell is “clinical” depression ???
i would think that the MLBPA ‘s health plan would be good enough
not to have these guys sitting in line at some clinic .

anywho , please give some early projections .
thanking you , in advance .

@big o: re: Scutaro -- That makes sense for them. They don't need much from a SS and can spend that money.

also , it appears that “out-siders” (non-drafters) can vote (good/bad)
on the specific selections in this year’s Razzball slow mock draft .

@BigFatHippo: Ah – the old kangaroo joke. It’s been a while! Kangaroo’s pretty good, as it happens.

Not sure if the Europeans ate too much kiwi after they arrived here, but the Maoris would probably have eaten them back in the day.

@DrEasy: One of the funniest things I read today was, "The Jays signed Alex Gonzalez, who helped the Red Sox to the playoffs." Yeah, compared to how much Jerry Hairston Jr. helped the Yankees.

By: DrEasy

DrEasy — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:14:40 +0000

But how to make sense of the Jays moves? Signing John McDonald (for the price of three Andruw Joneses no less) followed by Alex Gonzalez sounds a bit redundant to me redundant to me.

@cws05nuts: That bench sounds terrible, but cheap. Guess it depends on how large a role any of them have. They'll either be saying in September, "The guys that were brought in were great veterans who know how to win and helped youngsters." Or they'll be saying, "The Sox ended up playing Kotsay, Jones and Omar a lot more than they wanted to and paid for it in terrible production." Yeah, I heard exactly the same thing re: Rios. Tigers wanted him, but he was moved.

@Grey: Cool. That kinda makes sense seeing as though they might have a ton of bad paper behind Rios. Jones might be the DH too. Hope for 20 hr's and a majority of those in the Cell for 1.5 mil (with incentives) sounds reasonable and Kennyesque. Still takes the BB too. But a bench of Kotsay, Jones, and Omar sounds bleh at best. I think I would rather rebuild the OF and plug Carlos in as the full time DH to hedge against injuries and bad defense. I heard the Rios move was to block an impending Tiger's waiver claim on him. You hear anything along those lines?

@cws05nuts: She's stocked on Balbonis. Seem like the Sox are taking a cheap backup MI (Vizquel) and a potential bargain outfielder (Jones). From a money standpoint seems like it makes sense. If they get nothing from them, no harm no foul cause they spent so little.
