I'm deeply uncomfortable with the way we treated Tom Glavine, but the baseball moves were the right ones. -- nm

The more I think about it, the more I wish bridges weren't burnt with the fans. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 09:41 17
- With all the young pitchers up right now, I'd love for the Os to get Glavine. -- nm - Inigo Jun 4, 09:44 16
  - Glav gave up a lot of guaranteed money to go back to ATL. For them to treat him this way is....surprising. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 09:46 15
    - I agree...it feels wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 4, 09:48 14
      - You just don't hose one of your HOF players who you brought back for the glory. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 09:51 12
        
        He had two doubles and a homer last night. -- nm - David Jun 4, 10:15 1
        
        He's also hitting about .240. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 10:22
        
        I hestitate to bring this up but... - Mel Profit Jun 4, 10:00 9
        
        If they manage to trade him, we'll find out who Theo has naughty photos of. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 10:13
        
        He's only signed for one more season. The $12.5M option for 2011 is like a Cracker Jack toy right now. - TFox Jun 4, 10:03 5
        
        I think the Sox'll be more likely to quietly ask him to retire, than keep going. - musubi Jun 4, 10:05
        
        I think so too at this point... - Mel Profit Jun 4, 10:05 3
        
        And still be on the hook for the money? Not unless they really need the roster spot. - TFox Jun 4, 10:07 2
        
        Pinch hit threat? What kind of threat is a .570 OPS? At this point, Nick Green is more a threat than Ortiz. That's just sad. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:10 1
        
        I did put "threat" in quotes. - TFox Jun 4, 10:17
        
        I wouldn't be surprised if it happens later this summer. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:02
        
        I wouldn' -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 10:02
      - I hate that I actually feel sympathy for Braves fans right now. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 09:51
The way they treated a franchise pillar should be enough to keep you guys from getting any respectable free agent for a while. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 09:40 9
- We were so break that we couldn't have gotten MacLouth without it, but I agree with your sentiment. - David Jun 4, 09:41 8
  - Wow. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 4, 09:44 1
    - Will Ohman waited forever for us to sign him at the agreed upon price. We finally told him we had spent the money. -- nm - David Jun 4, 10:13
  - Seriously? I mean, they coulda cut Frenchy and saved as much, no? (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 09:42 3
    - Even if Frenchy doesn't deserve to be playing, I doubt we cut him. We think he still has trade value. -- nm - David Jun 4, 10:14 2
      - I'm gonna be so sick when someone trades Frenchy for magic beans, and those magic beans actually turn into a beanstalk. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 10:18 1
        
        The odd part of all of this is that Wren's acquisitions have universally been good. - David Jun 4, 10:22
  - so *broke* -- nm - David Jun 4, 09:42 1
    - I vil break you. -- nm - Ivan Drago Jun 4, 09:44
