You don't need me to repeat what I said, yet you keep repeating how I contradicted myself and how I'm a hypocrite? Ok.
What you repeated had nothing to do with your contradictions or you being a hypocrite.

Colon was able to make a sooner-than-expected return from shoulder surgery in April, and he started 5-0 with 3.69 ERA in his first six starts. Too bad it was all downhill from there. Colon made just two starts after July 23 due to elbow woes, and an appearance out of the pen against the A's during the final weekend of the season didn't convince the Angels to carry him as a reliever in the ALDS. Colon is almost certainly done in Anaheim, and it's likely that he'll accept a one-year deal elsewhere as he tries to rebuild his value. Odds are that he'll still be pricy enough to rule out most of the small-market teams. The Yankees, Mets, Cubs, Red Sox, Astros, Mariners, Phillies, Giants and Dodgers could be in the running.
Prediction: Astros - one year, $11 million
Can't find the article where he is agent said he was looking for Meche/Lilly type money just on a one year deal. Too much Arod to LA shit to sift through. He did make $16 mil last season after all.
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
Yeah Colon made $16M last season, but he was under a long term contract with the Angels, not a 1 year deal. He finished 6-8 with an ERA over 6 and that's going to get him a 1 year deal worth $11M? I don't know about that. I'll predict a 1-year in the range of $6M - $7M/year.
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
Who cares who repeated what, who contradicted what, and who's panties are in a bunch.
Can we please not make this offseason rumors, ideas, and trades thread the smack fest it's been the past couple pages?
I'm tired of asking nicely
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
We're still talking baseball.
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
I can't see any team investing $11M for 1 year on Colon. He needs to prove he's healthy and that he can be effective again. I think he needs to take a $6 - $7M/year deal, build his numbers up, then talk about a long term deal after that.

According to the North County Times, the Padres brought in Japanese righty reliever Kazuo Fukumori for a workout at Petco last week. The Padres haven't yet been mentioned as suitors for Fukumori

Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
I don't know if the forum is doing it or if it's you, Fresnan, but for some reason when you link something it always posts at an unseeable gray that you have to highlight.
I edited your post to make it so it's readable.
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
It looks fine when I paste it into the post, I don't know why it's coming up unseeable. Thanks for the help though....

Then deal with the asshole that argues with the few remaining Padre fans that he hasn't run off ......yet......
He's directly responsible for 3 leaving that I know of........soon to be more
Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
He's a moderator, what do you want me to do?
It takes two to argue, if you just don't argue with him this stuff wouldn't happen.

It only takes one to create an argument in here...........and he's at the backbone of every single one of them......I'd challenge you to find another bad argument in here he or the other Giant fan wasn't behind......sorry if the fans of this rooms team get pissy that they pop off over every little thing.....expect that to never at least until he runs everyone off........he's got basically two regular posters left :clap:
Weeee look at me I'm a Mod so I can be an unlimited dickhead to everyone with zero repercussions........weeeeeeeee

Re: 2008 Ideas / rumors / trades
Boston wanted Headley and a young minor league pitcher...I don't blame the Padres for moving on.
Anyone have an update on Jenkins. I've heard they were going to make him an offer and I've also heard that they HAVE made him an offer. What's the real story...
