Cup of Coffee Wolves give up 79 points in the first half on Tuesday night (a club record), but they tightened the screws in the second half and only gave up 73. I expect another Korean recipe over at Canis Hoopus. Citizens Online11 Users Online WGOM Sign InLog InRetired WGOM Jokes

Wow, that's pretty unbelievable. I mean, really? No NL teams put in a waiver claim on him? I guess I can see SF passing since Sabean hates paying bonus money to draftees. And I guess that Coletti is old-school and big-budget, so he might not value the picks that come with Harden that much. Surprising that the Rox wouldn't put in a claim, though.
I don't really know who exactly we would give up to get Harden. Something roughly equivalent to a first-round pick and a supplementary pick, I would assume. The only risk in trading equal value in draft picks here is that we are relatively bare in AA and AAA and trading today's A-ball players for tomorrow's A-ball players could put an even bigger gap between the Twins and their minor league help, unless we really focus on getting college players in next year's draft.
How about...we give up Mahay and Rauch?
So, is Rauch's strength the high fastball?
Could we trade... Humber, Mulvey,
Guerra,andGomezan outfielder?So you are saying they won't take Rauch and Mahay?
Apparently BS is willing to totally blow up the pitching staff 5/6ths of the way through the season. (At least this is a pitching staff worth blowing up.)
Also, in relation to a recent line of my comments, Rich Harden is not Brad Penny.
and Rich Harden has a lot of Mark Prior potential in him
that said, I like Harden a lot. His tRA+ history: 119 (2003), 121, 127, 98 (46 2/3 innings, 2006), 110 (21 2/3 innings, 2007), 141 (77 innings, Oak, 2008), 146 (71 innings, CHN, 2008), 113 (124 innings, CHN, 2009)
Okay, who would have believed this one year ago today? Rays apparently moving Kazmir to Angels for two minor leaguers.
Not me. But you have to admit that this year-by-year FIP trend is a bit disturbing:
3.36 -- 2006
3.45 -- 2007
4.37 -- 2008
4.68 -- 2009
I know that Kazmir is young, but there seems to be plenty of Dontrelle Willis potential for this from the Angels' standpoint.
Missed the little Twitter posting on the homepage and mentioned this in CoC.
Did it help that the Sox moved a .5 game in front of the Twins yesterday?
We had tie-breaker on them anyway, since they had a better record than we did last year.
No. In the case of a tie from record, last year's records are used. So, the coin toss helped.
Billy Smith is showing Joe Mauer/his agent that we want to win!
better sign that contract extension now!!!one&one?!?!@!!@
