I think we should reset the counter.

Can we start the official Yu Darvish countdown now?

So what’s Vidro going to fix…the fact that he hits a lot of weak grounders or the fact that he’s really slow? It was predicted on this blog that Vidro would lead the league in GDP and he came very close to doing so. If you think this will change you should come up with a reason why, other than “that’s why they play the games.” So in your universe Pirates fans have as much reason to expect to win the WS as Red Sox fans…because until they “play the games” there’s no reason to believe one team has a better chance than the other? I hope the M’s FO isn’t making decisions like that…but I suspect they might be.

I think you completely missed the point.

Anyone know if we got an adjustable rate on this mortgaging of our future? I’m assuming so…

Well, has anything about this Bedard trade been finalized YET? I just want to know, because I’m beginning to think this is Bavasi’s way of getting even with all the criticism of him here on USSM.

Edgar was an incredible mentor to young Hispanic players.

I’m sure he was. of course, Cheito was raised in Houston, the son of a major leaguer and went to college at Rice, so he might not have needed all that much major-leage mentoring…

Just another damn thing that Bavasi was unwilling to ask for.
