I dont remember what you said in response to me, or if you said anything at all, but you were there lol. I remember dt too. But those were rough times...

I wasn't upset with you at all, we never had any problems. I remember DT as well. It was a strange time, rumors flying that Greinke wanted to sign here. Coletti saying he was worried and didn't understand why they couldn't sign Greinke. Nolan came along saying they could afford Hamilton and Greinke (that's when posters/fans still wanted Hamilton)

then of course there was a lot of dissapointment, mostly about Greinke if I remember correctly.

lainey when he signs with us you gotta listen to two alter bridge songs because of the extra stress you put me through..

deal

ESPN board? I think I was there as well. Not too sure though. Good Brad Pitt movie? - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Love that movie, you're right, Pitt was really good.

Seven...FTW.

Boras is just really good at his job, he knows that his job is to do whatever his clients ask him to do. If they want the biggest contract possible then he'll do everything in his power to do that for them, regardless of whether it makes him hated by some fans because that's his job. But in the cases of Weaver and Andrus, if they tell him that they want to stay and will sign an extension then he'll do his best to get that done.

I know he's a good agent, not obliged to be very happy with him right now. I did post awhile back, it is ultimately/obviously on Choo, not Boras to decide

Seven...FTW.

ugh, that movie was rough to watch

It's funny when you said "seven" I thought you were saying we had offered Choo 7 years... for a second.
ha

Yes indeed. Very rough to watch. But very good and atmospheric. Amazing performances from Morgan Freeman and Keven Spacey as well.

Agreed. One of my favorites. I can never get tired watching that film. Pure greatness IMO.

watching the 7th year of Choo's contract could be equally difficult to watch!

So would watching Martin leadoff next year

Is Morgan Freeman ever bad in a movie?
it's rhetorical

Ha...well played

 

[gregrey972]

yeah that would be a lot to ask of such an inexperienced player to lead-off for a "contender" in a win now mode

 

[lainey12]

So would watching Martin leadoff next year

He was making a joke about the movie 'Seven', I do agree though...Martin leading off is a little scary

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Pretty quiet around here.....

No news is good news.

No news is good news.

Unless the news consists of the Rangers wheeling and dealing. Just sayin.

I hope we sign Choo this week but i hope we sign Kendrys Morales instead of Cruz as the other player.He is three years younger his contract will be less and he is a switch hitter with stats very good from both sides of the plate with more power left handed so it could bring our right field porch in play for him.I think we could sign him to a deal of 3 for around 39 million which is going to be about 9 or 10 million less then Cruz.It also gives us a better lineup against right handed pitchers with Choo,Fielder,Morales,Martin and Profar all batting left handed
