I hope this is posturing on Omar’s part to keep the negotiations with K-Rod from getting out of hand. I do not want Fuentes and will be upset if we have to settle for that when something is much better for not much more $$.

I mentioned this a couple of weeks agon other threads, fwiw – A close friend of Lowe’s told me he’s either staying on the west coast or back to Boston. He’ll only use the NY teams to up his price, but he does not want to play there. But who knows, maybe we offer him a deal ($) he can’t refuse.

Nobody called me dumb in my last comments, and no you wrote Tidewater = dumb, not Tidewater’s ideas = dumb.

You must be out of ideas, pal.

I might also add that Angel Pagan was playing AWESOME until he separated his shoulder diving into the stands on a fly ball…

Trot was signed out of a need of a ML player who could play the outfield. Unfortunately, he was hurt as well…

Also, I was referring to how other people have called you dumb in the last comment.

I never called you dumb, I called your deals dumb. I would never insult the person like you did — personal insults come from someone who is out of ideas.

You’re not getting the best closer in baseball for 12 million over 3 years either, really you’re not even sure if you’re getting a closer or how long he’ll be able to keep the position. I’d rather not sign either of them but between the two K-rod makes more sense IMO. If it comes down to Fuentes and ?? I think I’d rather go with the question mark and spend the 12 million somewhere else. Especially since we’re talking about giving up a draft pick on top of the money.

If we’re going to give up a draft pick considering the state of our farm system IMO it should either because we’re getting a player who will serve a long-term role, we’re getting a player who will put us over the top or we’re a team like the red sox who knows they have the pieces and a strong farm system and the draft pick just isn’t a big deal.

snake:
You called me dumb. You resorted to insults.

Teams build around young players like Marmol. Like we do with Reyes and Wright.
