Houston moving from the NL to the AL means that there's interleague happening basically all season long in short spurts instead of as a solid block of games in the middle of the season.

we face the same team back to back 2 game series home and away. Have you ever seen that before? lol
I can't believe that Bourn can't find a job. The 1st rd compensation pick is killing him. There'd be some legit interest otherwise. The Mets, who desperately need a CFer, can't sign him because they'd lose the 11th overall pick. Thats just terrible.

pretty sure top half of the draft is protected from type a

That's not what's killing Bourn value. It's probably killing Lohse's value but not Bourn. Bourn has kinda just ran out of suitors because teams like Nats/Braves/Phillies etc... have found their CF and the teams that could use a CF like Bourn, are not in a position to spend that much because they are rebuilding.
A rebuilding team like the Mets just don't want to give up a top pick to sign him. If their pick was protected however, they would.
If he lowers his asking price, I imagine he will start gathering a ton of interest.

No such thing as a Type A or Type B anymore, nor is bottom half of the teams are protected. It's only the bottom 10 teams now.
I seriously hope they get rid of this compensation crap in the next CBA.
I remember that one vividly. Deer got his sweet revenge.
Apparently Todd Helton gave him the meat. Initially after the injury, Barmes lied and said it was just a bag of groceries because he didn't want to embarrass Helton. Somehow. I guess. Because it's somehow Helton's fault that Barmes is a klutz.
the article (which is attributed to the AP, so it's not just someone at TSN) says that the Yankees believe that Youkilis can still play 3rd in A-Rod's absence. Not that Youk at 3rd now is much better.

Our 1st is protected, so we only lose a 2nd if we were to sign him. I'd love to flip Rasmus and sign him, but with the turf here and the fact that we spent so much already, I don't know if that will be possible.
ESPN named their top 10 teams of all time earlier this week.
#10 was the 1993 Blue Jays.
Quote:
They were the first team in almost two decades to win back-to-back titles, thriving because of their deep and well-constructed roster. They had developed players like John Olerud (who had an OPS+ of 186), Pat Hentgen and Juan Guzman, traded for Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter in a blockbuster that took only hours to complete, and became masters of the midseason deal -- and in 1993, that meant adding Rickey Henderson.
The Blue Jays filled out their team with older, established stars such as Paul Molitor, who hit .332 that season; Olerud, Molitor and Alomar finished 1-2-3 in the batting race. It was a different time in Toronto: This team, coming off a championship season in 1992 and playing in SkyDome, drew more than 4 million fans. What a show it was.
