I'm told Billy Beane is a genius.

I've not seen proof. This was roughly the same time Billy bought Billy Butler for 10mil a season.

Those 2 moves should be worth a firing.

It's not quite the Twins giving up on Big Papi, but it's close. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 10:05 6

  - your IM, absolutely - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 10:11 4
    - Right, Ortiz was a good player, Donaldson was an MVP level player - Will Hunting Jul 19, 10:17
    - no one saw Otriz with 35-40 home run power, despite his build. - groiny Jul 19, 10:15 2
      - I agree with your subject line, but to your IM he had already done that in a Twins uniform before they let him go. - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 10:21 1
        
        right, but in their defense, he is not built like a guy you gamble on. - groiny Jul 19, 10:23

- I have enjoyed a half season of having Lawrie on my team here. - groiny Jul 19, 10:08 4
  - He was always a little too "bro" for me, but there's no denying why he was a top prospect. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 19, 10:11 1
    - there was a game where he flied out deep to center, and they flash to him in the dugout - groiny Jul 19, 10:13
  - Lawrie is the MLB groiny? - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 10:09 1
    - having kids calmed me down ALOT. - groiny Jul 19, 10:18
