I don't see how you could put JD Martinez ahead of David Ortiz or Manny Ramirez just yet.

I completely forgot that Ortiz was a FA signing after the Twins flat released him. He was signed for $1.2M

Yeah, that's got to be the winner.

I've read that Ortiz was released by the Twins and later signed with the Red Sox.

Yeah, my bad. The Twins released him and Boston signed him as a FA.

Pedro was acquired via trade for Carl f*cking Pavano, if you can believe that.


For all the slobbering on the boy Wonder's knob (Theo), it was actually Dan Duquette that built the foundation of the first Red Sox WS winner in 85 years.

And the Yankees 90s dynasty was Stick Michael, if for no other reason that he stopped Big George from trading Rivera to Seattle and Pettitte to Philly.

or doyle alexander for one John Smoltz


Jerry Colangelo famously hated George Steinbrenner because of something that went down with David Wells

The Yankees were hard after Schilling that offseason and the Dbacks demanded both Soriano and Posada

After the Yanks told em to fuck off, they traded him to Boston for Casey Fucking Fossum

Nasty will tell ya

It was Wells they should have been pissed off at. He had a "handshake" agreement with Colangelo, then reneged and signed with the Yankees. Not sure how that's the Yanks fault, but boy did they pay for it that fall.

Dirt, am I wrong to be optimistic about the Gmen? They lost to a better team on Sunday, but I thought they showed flashes.

You'll prob see this tomorrow but let's revisit this Monday. A loss to a bad Cowboys team will have me thinking an 8-8 season will be a big accomplishment

Fournette going down changes how I view what was a solid defensive effort, he really is their whole offense

Barkley and ODB will be great, Engram and Sheppard need to be a lot better, and I'm hoping Eli and the Oline was s product of a great front 7 with the Jags

Don Baylor won one back in the 70s, and DH'ed at least 50% of his teams games if memory serves. I think that's as close as it's gotten.

Frank Thomas?
