While Danks has been a favorite of mine, he sure hasnt developed
into that #1 pitcher and sure stopper. This past season soured
me on Danks. His little brother is a goner too.

I loved his work in "Pulp Fiction" and the under-rated
"Hi-Life":
the Sox have signed left-hander Eric Stults to a minor league
contract, according to Baseball America. Stults, 32, has a
lifetime 8-10 record and 4.93 ERA over parts of five seasons
with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado.
And here's the punch line:
Stults pitched a four-hit shutout against the Sox on June 25,
2008, at Dodger Stadium while pitching for the Dodgers.

So, it's almost like he's an ex-Sox. Makes sense to me...

the new Matt Thornton, when we trade him for some failed
first-rounder high pedigree pitcher who Coop'll be in charge of
fixing.

five years. Now teams and players will see if it brings

> Baseball's new Collective Bargaining Agreement ensures the
sport will have more than 20 years without a single labor
stoppage. That's great news for anyone who remembers the
disaster of the canceled World Series in 1994. But in the
initial hours after the new CBA was announced, scouting
directors and other front-office types weren't basking in the
glow of a new deal.

> The new CBA will assure the most significant changes since the
secondary drafts were eliminated in 1987. And the initial
reaction was quite negative from many in the industry as scouts
(and agents) feared that restrictive luxury tax rules would make
it more difficult to sign top talent. But as more details have
emerged, many teams seem to have come around to at least some of
the changes.

Yes, I sure did. I read it in the latest BA I think.
Going to be really hard to get draft picks for a player in the
future, he is going to have to be a very highly paid players
(avg of top 140 salaries in the league is what he has to be
offered for arbitration to be eligible for picks.
One thing I do like. If Buehrle is whatever the equivalent of a
Type A player, and we trade him mid year, that team that traded
for MB will NOT be eligible for draft choices. The player HAS to
have played the entire previous year with a team to be eligible
for compensation.

Wow, not an A1 prospect, but a decent one. Just freaking glad
they understand how important it is to have good young talent,
makes trading much easier.
