    Free Agency 2009

    - Breaking: LB Bart Scott to the Jets on a multi-year deal. - As mentioned in the Peyton Hillis thread Denver has apparently signed RBs JJ Arrington and Correll Buckhalter. Don't know much about Arrington, Buckhalter can be mildly productive when he's healthy.

    Ken Mink makes Roane State squad at 73!

    Apparently, Mr. Mink has been ruled academically ineligible due to failing a Spanish course. D'oh!

    The Offseason

    More updates! Many deals are becoming final as the first Spring Training games of the year are this week, for some teams. The Braves signed OF Garrett Anderson to a one-year deal worth a reported $2.5 million. After missing on Griffey and electing not to trade with the Yankees for Nick...

    Thinking of doing a report

    Taco, This topic has come up before and has gotten mixed results and feedback from posters here. The general feeling seems to be that you need to decide whether or not your professor is willing to approach your paper with an open mind. Many professors are intense liberals (I can attest to...

    Emmitt Smith was been robbed of his job

    Probably doesn't retain much after his injury from hard-hitting Eagles safety Tim Hauck. If he hadn't been ducking the hit like a coward, he would have never been injured. I don't agree with the Philadelphia fans cheering, but Irvin could have avoided it...

    Should I root for another team?

    You can also count me as a Red Sox fan, for the reasons Skipperon mentioned. The Phillies have certainly gone a less white route. As of now the Phillies have fewer white everyday starters than both the Mets and the Nationals, a feat I would have thought impossible only a year ago. I'm even...

    The Offseason

    Updates, for anyone brave enough to follow the whole thread... The Dodgers agree in principle to a one year deal with free agent 2B Orlando Hudson. Hudson gets $3.4MM guaranteed with another $4.6MM in incentives. The Dodgers do, however, forfeit their first round draft pick, #17 overall...

    New Reparations Legislation

    This is absolutely infuriating. I can't fathom why any white person can think that this is not completely harebrained. My family wasn't even in this country until the 1920s. While these African-Americans were slaves, my great-grandparents were farming dirt in southern Italy. Ridiculous.

    The Offseason

    More updates, hooray. Apparently, Ken Griffey Jr. has chosen the Mariners over the Braves. Courtesy of MLB.com's Mark Bowman: Fair enough. The Orioles and speedy 2B Brian Roberts are reportedly close to a substantial contract extension. The Chicago Tribune reports that Jim Thome...

    Pittsburgh chases more diversity!

    Yeah, not knowing the sabers offhand I'd say Hinske is a replacement level fielder with a plus bat. I don't know a whole lot about Morgan, though.

    2008 Broncos

    Yeah, the Engelberger one surprises me. He strikes me as more of a prototypical 3-4 defensive end, the scheme to which the Denver defense is transferring.

    The Offseason

    Updated again. The Brewers have elected to bring back Eric Gagne, this time only on a minor league deal. Gagne made a probably foolish $10 million last season. Gagne hasn't been effective in quite some time, despite holding the MLB record for consecutive converted saves. His fastball has lost...

    The Offseason

    Updated. Most big signings are over with or close to finalizing, with the notable exception of Manny. The Padres agreed to a contract with OF Emil Brown. Brown, 34, hit .244/.297/.386 in 438 plate appearances for the A's last year. Also, Ken Griffey Jr. is reportedly close to choosing...

    The Offseason

    Updated. The New York Mets agree to a one-year minor league deal with Livan Hernandez. I guess this means Pedro Martinez won't be a Met next year. The Mets have already added starting pitchers Tim Redding and Freddy Garcia to compete for the fifth starter spot. The Braves are also showing...
