Still planning on doing a mock draft fellas. These last few days have been hectic with family coming over and whatnot.

I’m thinking that Wednesday around 4pm EST will be the first razzball mock draft time.

I’ll repost this in Monday’s post.

@Steve: @GopherDay: There ya go! In all honesty, if I were to live in another country, NZ would certainly be at the top of my list. Yeah the tax thing is significant, 8% of 150 m is 12 million dollars! Thats likely about the gap between the two offers.

@Elijah: @Steve: FYI, I live in Texas...Not Dallas, but Houston, and...Yeah, it's too hot. But that is why AC was invented, no? I've got a hunch he stays in Texas as well, hopefully I'm right. I read somewhere that because of the income tax in NY (Texas doesn't have an income tax) Texas' offer may be lower, but turn out around the same when you take into account the income tax in NY.

@Steve: How to pick out a Kiwi: he's nice and soft. As for the money thing, does ithe extra 2 million a year really mean anything when you are making 20 mil already in terms of your quality of life?

@Elijah: Go on - you would have been disappointed if I didn't. Hope he does stay in Texas - would be good to see a decision that wasn't ALL about the money (assuming what you say is right about him wanting to be closer to home).

@Steve: Ahem. I'm just gonna let that one go.

@Elijah: Too hot in Texas.

Anyways, back to baseball, I got a hunch Lee stays in Texas now. Something tells me he’s been playing the Yanks all along and much prefers to stay near home, but just wanted to make sure Texas’ offer was comparable.

@Steve:

You’re as bad as a swede! All winter long its complaints, then when it finally does warm up its too hot!

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 01:20:42 +0000

@Elijah: You need to look at the timestamp for Comment #66

Was about 85 YESTERDAY, which is hot for us. Bit cooler today.

@Al Swedgin: I agree with your 8. @Steve: It's 80-something here today.

Elijah — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:26:41 +0000

@Steve: Where the frick are you at? My weather report says high of 75 in Aukland, 69 in Wellington? Are you really complaining about that?!?!?!

By: Elijah

Elijah — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:25:04 +0000

@Grey:

@Steve: ohio weather sucks too steve.... we're getting dumped on right now, you can put "dumped" into whatever context you'd like....

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:43:20 +0000

@Grey: Yeah. I guess out of respect for our Minny readers, I should just quit my damn whining. And let's face it, months of BBQ/grilling to look forward to...

Hey Grey et al,

Help me narrow my keepers down. We keep 5 of any type but at this point we are only narrowing it down to 8.

It’s kind of a wonky, too-many-cats, H2H league (it’s also not my primary one.) Anyway,

Offensive cats: standard 5 + hits, BB, and offensive Ks.
Pitching cats: standard 5+ Losses, Holds, and Innings Pitched. I know.

Anyway, here’s my suspects:

Teixeira
Kemp
Heyward
McCutchen
Pence
R. Zimmerman
Rollins
Wieters

Caprpenter
Billingsley
Neftali Feliz
P. Hughes

For the 8 I’m thinking the top 7 + Carp. What say thee?

@Steve: I’m not gonna ask how you know if dogs’ balls are hot. Oh, wait, I just did.

@Grey: @ThE sHiT: Women - can't live with 'em, can't leave 'em by the side of the road. This just in - hot as dog balls here and it's not even really summer yet.

@big o: Yeah, the park doesn't help, it's true. @ThE sHiT: Sucks about the girl, but I'm sure it's for the best in the end run. Good luck with the promotion!
