Jobu

The two guys I would love Omar to sign is Carl Crawford, and Orlando Hudson, not only does this give us youth but also a world of speed and gold gloves for years to come

Dude, the season was over for Jobu the minute they lost their first game.

Rey-YES

As far as I know, Hudson isn't a FA until after next year. I'm pretty sure you need 6 years. Even if he is, I expect the Snakes to keep him.

I like Crawford, but he won't be a FA until 2011, at the least:

I like this game. its fun.

Its been what, 3 years since we moved a player out of position? Time to start that up again. Lets move DW to 1st, and Sign arod for 600 mil to play 3rd. We can trade delgado for dontrelle, since delgado wanted to be a marlin anyways.

Well, as long as we're up for signing guys who aren't free agents I'll take Hanley Ramirez, Johan Santana, Joe Nathan, and Russell Martin.

Led, the Revenge

And that is why you fail.

Twins have a club option on Nathan for '08. Depending on how cheap Carl Pohlad wants to be, he may be available after this season.

I might take you seriously if I didn't know you were sitting in your grandmother's basement wearing a Yoda outift while typing that...

DDPv6.0

Yeah, I thought he was signed through next year, but then I looked it up afterwards and saw it was a team option. They'd be stupid not to keep him around, but then again, it is the Twins.

Led, the Revenge

Listen, you tubby little **** - don't tell me what sordid homo fantasies you have of me.

Apology accepted.

Rey-YES

If they aren't planning to use it, he'd be traded already.

My 2008 Roster:

C- Russ Martin
1b- Pujols
2b- Utley
ss- Reyes
3b-Wright
3b-Arod
CF-Beltran
RF-Vlad

See, if we have wright and arod, both playing 3b together, that gives us basically no holes, on the left side of the IF. Wright can play the line, arod closer to short, where he belongs, and reyes, closer to 2b, for pickoffs, dp turns, and shots up the middle. The extra IF defense, means we dont really need a LF, since beltran covers all that ground anyways. plus, arod and wright batting 3-4, make up for any runs that might score, on a bloop to LF. GENIOUS = me.

Hey Wildboys,

Did you get your name from the Duran Duran song that plays int he "Year to Remember" highlight tape?

Rey-YES

Before looking at FAs elsewhere, decisions have to be made on our own FAs + guys with options.

Glavine has a player option. The team has options on Green and Alou. Lo Duca, Castro(?), Castillo, Sele, Anderson, Easley, Valentin and (I think) Endy will be FAs.

My choices:

Glavine--It's his decision, but I want him back.
Green--Buy him out, offer him a lower salary to be part-timer at RF/1B.
Alou--A definite keeper.
Duke--Offer Arbi, try to sign him for a year unless someone better is available via trade. No FA Catchers out there that I want.
Castro--Not sure if he's FA, but if he is, I'd give him a year after getting his back checked out thoroughly.
Anderson--A no-brainer. Keep him, even if it takes a 2-year deal.
Castillo--Give him 2 years + option. He's a pefect fit. Keep Gotay as "kneesurance".
Easley/Valentin--MnL deals, with ST invite and chance to make the Big Club.
Endy--Worth re-signing for a year + option.
Sele--Bye-bye.
