I find this whole ordeal very funny. I've never seen a trade with this many moving pieces in any sport. Crazy.

OT: Legal minds - Stackhouse

bdavison94 — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:51:17 -0000

Here is my question for you lawyer types.

How could the league stop Stackhouse from negotiating with anyone once the 30 days is up? If the collective bargaining agreement states that once the 30 day window is up Stack is allowed to sign with anyone how can the league stop him from negotiating? That would seem to be a violation of the CBA and his right to work. Would the league not be open to testing it's anti-trust exemption at that point?

How does the potential oral agreement between the nets, mavs, and stack play into a violation of the CBA? Like the Boozer issue neither side could be held to that "promise".

OT: NFL buffoons and bojanglers?

Interesting article that is generating plenty of responses over at Foxsports.com. Thought some on here might like to read.

Arod Opt out.....

bdavison94 — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 20:24:19 -0000

New article, at least to me, about the potential for Arod to opt out at the end of the season.

Also at the bottom of the article he discusses Arod's hot streak. One thing that struck me is that he HAS to cool off. When he goes through the inevitable cool period those same yankee fans will be hammering him. Now I'm not one to buy into the media hype but that could get very interesting. Anyhoo.....the article....

Danks.....

Just heard on ESPN radio that Danks has been named the 5th starter for the White Sox to begin the season. Guess we'll get a good measure of that trade right away.

Wilkerson.....

Just got back from Spring Training. I haven't had a chance to read many of the diaries or comments to the blog but wanted to post my comments on what I saw from Wilkerson.

I went to two of the big club games (Friday and Sunday) and watched him work with Rudy for a good hour on Friday morning on the AAA field. 0'fer in the games I watched and put on the worst display in BP I've ever seen. Now maybe he was working on something specific in BP but it was completely unimpressive. Two bad games I would have dismissed as no big deal but the BP put me over the top. I'd be shocked if he were worth a 4th OF spot this year.

Danks.....

Anyone see the pics from the Newberg night yet? Well....John Danks has a pretty hot mom. Holy cow! Those that were there in person....just a good pic or accurate? HA!

Oh....and some dude named Adam is pictured as well.

To get to 300.....uh.....Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Enjoy Kwanzaa.

What happened to it? Man....now I wish I had hung around. Must have missed some good stuff. HA! I can only imagine how that one degenerated.

My Washington take to fill up the 300 min.

Love the hire so far. I don't think I would have been as excited with any of the other hires. I have yet to hear something bad about this guy...other than Reeves column the other day. Even Reeves admitted he'll like Washington once he'd gotten his "Hicks Sucks" comments in.

Rangers FA's

Rangers | GM wants to bring back all free agents
Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:15:46 -0700

T.R. Sullivan, of Texas.Rangers.MLB.com, reports Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he wants to bring back all 10 of the Rangers free agents this offseason, and he has already begun speaking to their representatives about contracts. "If you told me I could bring the entire clubhouse back intact, with Carlos Lee and Nelson Cruz, with Adam Eaton healthy, with Robinson Tejeda pitching at his level and the bullpen with a year under its belt, I'd do it," said Daniels. "I believe in what this club can do." Starting pitchers Vicente Padilla, Kip Wells and Adam Eaton, catcher Rod Barajas, outfielders Carlos Lee, Mark DeRosa, Gary Matthews Jr., Jerry Hairston Jr. and Eric Young, and designated hitter Matt Stairs are all free agents at the end of this season.

Geez......If this guy has it right I'm actually scared.

Any chance of me still being on the fence with Buck just flew out the friggin' window. He has to go and NOW!

If you ever read this site Jon Daniels know that a guy that has never been a basher of Buck has fully committed himself to the fact that Buck has to go. I've read reports on Buck with a wary eye for a long time now. The evidence has become too overwhelming for me to look the other way anymore.
