SBG Nation Provides Your Daily Source for Half-Baked Crap

I can't blame the Vikings for making the deal. Considering the circumstances, a 2nd round pick is about as good as they could expect.
It's too bad that things had to end up this way, though.

The Giants would become overnight favorites to win the NL West with Ramirez and the pitching staff they have already assembled.
As for the Dodgers, no worries, they would still have Juan Pierre to fill Ramirez's shoes in left field.
Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks according to a new study published by the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. This was basically a case-control study, comparing heart attack rates in Pueblo, CO to two control sites (Pueblo County outside the city limits; and El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs).

2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.
Even though Joe C bothers with errors and fielding percentage, I give him a bunch of credit for pointing this out and at least throwing some RZR/OOZ in there.

Do you really think that's the best we could do? I know he's coming off and injury and was an overrated QB, but he's still largely covetted by many teams. I'm convinced McHale is running the show over there now.

I think it is because of the position that Daunte put the Vikings in. They had to pay him $6 million in a week or two. If they
didn't trade, they were going to cut him.

Did you read the Clayton article on ESPN? I tend to agree. Harris, Williamson and a second-rounder for Moss and Culpepper is absurd.
Also, you need to get yourself some WP themes. Here's some plugins I use that I would receommend.
