Johnson deal collapsing?

[Velcro]

Red Sox fans are sure cocky.....aftr only one good year........

How's that fella .......Pedro doing?   :-*

He's the Mets' problem, eh, diva, eh, spoiled baby, eh... pitcher now.

I wish him luck there, but i think chemistry will be better without him.  Talent, but not a team player.  If he was a team player, he'd be that much better than he already is, which is incredible.

I still think the yanks will have RJ, but it just won't include the dodgers now.

You hit the nail right on the head with that assessment....

It'll be interesting to see how he handles new york.  

He was a great pitcher for us, and was a big part of winning the WS, but we also won despite having him as well.  He is the perfect example of a two-edged sword.

That is the only position (unless we don't sign varitek) that we have downgraded thus far (talent-wise)

Schilling   (n/a)

Pedro     (Wells - downgrade)

Lowe     (Clement - upgrade)

Arroyo   (N/A)

Wakefield (n/a)

Bullpen

Add Mantei/Halama to go with Timlin/Embree/Foulke (upgrade)

just wish we could pawn BH Kim on someone  

Infield

-Cabrera, bring in Renteria (wash, cabrera might be better for chemistry though, but he didn't want to stay anyhow)

Outfield (n/a)

I have heard we are in the running for Delgado now at 1st base, which means we could trade Minky and Millar (throw in BH Kim for free, please)

You're joking, right?   ???

typo...i meant without a no trade clause

supposedly vazquez didnt want to play on the west coast

i later read he would demand a trade after one season and that killed the deal
