instant boog karma is going to get you

brendan ryan continues his remarkable lease on life not being traded. the orioles, after trading for jj hardy, baltimore decided they needed more suck in their lineup and resigned cesar izturis. izturis hit a peak value (1.5 WAR) in his one year with the cards: the three years previous he was worth 0.1, -0.1, 0.0 WAR; in the two years since, 1.0, -0.3. he's now hit 30. i'm not sure that he makes any sense as an acquisition. $1.7M is not a huge chunk of cash, but a replacement value shortstop is not worth much.
this follows the padres' signing of jason bartlett which leaves the primary bidders on shortstops stocked. that hardly means that someone won't trade for boog to fill a utility role, but it does make the trade market a bit quieter. somewhere out there, orlando cabrera sits as well. it's as if the fates, or karma, or something doesn't want him to go. either that or other teams just aren't that into you, brendan.
in an interesting transaction, the angels took scott downs for 3y/$15m. downs was Type A, and the value of his picks runs about $6m. the 3y/$15m seems like it would barely cover his value, especially given the years relative to his age (he'll be 35 in 2011). losing a first round pick adds insult to injury. that strikes me as a pretty substantial overpay for a reliever, even one like downs. downs is good, but is not the exceptional type that might merit a Type A signing.
i'm afraid i have nothing much to add this week. enjoy your saturday.

Looks like the Giants offered a contract to Renteria for only $1M
He is probably good for a .315 wOBA with league average defense at SS. Probably a 1 WAR player now. I could see them make a move if he is cheap enough
only $1M?
Sure hope Mo provides a counter-offer. His performance would probably be average, but he would be a great clubhouse presence. He’s also the only MLB player that I’ve ever run into – nice guy, I might add.

1st round pick is protected. if they sign beltre, downs pick gets pushed back even farther.
So glad the Cardinals never signed Brian Fuentes and that
they didn’t spend a fortune on relievers this season.

By the end of 2001 all three of those players are in Oakland and in return they have received Neifi Perez, Angel Berroa, AJ Hinch, and Roberto Hernandez, Ouch!

aranathor, I'm as anglophile as they come;
but brits complaining about weather is pretty much like us complaining about petrol prices.
I see that your media are currently whining about a week when temperatures fell below 20 degrees Fahrenheit every night.
And here’s a nifty piece (from Wikipedia, to be sure) about the Heat Wave of 1976 when “The temperature reached 80°F (26.7°C) every day between 22 June and 16 July” and “For 15 consecutive days from 23 June to 7 July inclusive, temperatures reached 90°F (32.2°C) somewhere in England on each of these 15 days. Furthermore, five days saw temperatures exceed 95°F (35°C). On 28 June, temperatures reached 35.6°C (96.1°F) in Southampton, the highest June temperature recorded in the UK.”

I assume there will be plenty of takers if the price starts to fall but it would be nice to get Boras to try another one year deal. As we have no money for a long term contract — this would be a nice “win now” play. Why not since we went all-in on Berkman.

Although Sarky and Snarky have similar meanings
Sarky is more ‘sarcastic’ whereas snarky is more ‘bitchy’, hence i wasn’t trying to be too offensive.

You probably wouldn't get it anyway.

Silly humans, this world is for robots.
good pic, she's a pretty lass
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
Based purely on looks and similar pictures
(and trying to find a picture of Munn where she DOESN’T look like a slag is quite hard)
i reckon its a dead heat. Middleton looks a bit too much like a scouse mother down the pound-shop on a weekend. Albeit a little classier. And Munn just doesn’t look overly attractive when she isn’t wearing just underwear and sprawled across a motorbike or something. Don’t get me wrong, i know plenty of people who would fancy her if they saw her in real life, but in comparison to Middleton, nothing special.
Skip Schumaker is not a scapegoat.
Forsooth and Verily
that is the opinion I have heard about her from people who have met her in person
they say she is really photogenic, and a German/Vietnamese heritage gives her an interesting look that translates better to 2D
Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have? Frank Chance 1908
Kate, Munn is only TV pretty, meaning she's just normal but on TV looks smoking hot
also i’m convinced if she wasn’t on TV talking like a dude she wouldn’t be popular. she’s as fake as fake can be & that’s so unattractive
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
I definitely think she's fake
but she’s also better at that than any of the other fools that have tried to take her place on AOTS. Also, we’ll get to see if she can act at all this January when her sitcom on NBC comes out.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
i totally agree, Carrie Keagan was the only one who was as good as she was on AOTS
i think Munn has over played her hand here & will be looking to get back to AOTS by spring or summer. i don’t think she can act, i’ve seen a lot of clips of her new show & it’s not good.
i would totally hook up with her though. she is hot, just not as hot as so many guys think she is.
and i had no idea who Kate was till i googled her. i totally thought that price got married a long time ago
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
Munn was absolutely horrific on The Daily Show when she first started
she got better after several appearances but her timing is still off. I don’t hold out much hope for a comedy named “Perfect Couples”.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
i haven't seen her on the daily show yet but that's exactly what everyone told me
she’s terrible, but getting better
i could be way wrong, but i doubt perfect couples will air all 13 of their episodes let alone get a back 9 or a season 2. nothing ive seen from it looks even remotely watchable
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
i personally don't think either one is that attractive
but if i had to pick one, kate.

That issue is very contentious the externalities of contracts are so difficult to quantify
The problem is that too many of the writers on Fangraphs take a “let me hit you with some knowledge” tone but are dealing with a group of commenters who range from those who know more than the writers do, to the horridly misinformed leading to a rather uneven overall effect
