Barry Zito

is good.

Zito???

He’s been a bigger flop than the ’08 Cubs. No thanks!

Teixeira will command WAYYYYY more than that — I’m thinking more like 7yrs/ $140-150M. Besides, we’d have to get D. Lee to waive his NTC. Teixeira is going to the Yankees to replace Giambi — I guarantee it!

Manny is rumored to be seeking 4 yrs/$100M. Can’t stand him anyway — no thanks!

I like a healthy Furcal but can he stay healthy???

I say, let Demp walk and go for CC or Burnett, because I don’t see Demp repeating his ‘08 performance. Furcal may be signable to a short deal considering he missed so much of ’08 and he’s still young; so he may want a year or two to prove he’s worth a big time deal. This would give us a great PH and sub in Theriot. Sign DeRosa to an extension and re-sign Woody. THEN, keep Harden off the DL by having him skip a start here and there with Marquis, Marshall, and perhaps Samarjia filling in. (Did I spell Jeffs name right?)

Burnett?

You want ANOTHER injured pitcher? No thanks.

I'd much rather take Demp

than a CC whose arm is gonna fall off in the next couple of years or Burnett with an injury history and inflated numbers.

Aaron Rowand?!?!?

No thanks… I like our team as it is now… we need to add some sort of outfielder and a lefty in the pen…. I propose looking at Brian Giles.. he has a 2009 club option

Holy crap.

Al, this is enough. Can you start regulating diaries somehow? Ever since the playoffs started, this place has gotten out of control.

Got any ideas on how to do that?

I have a feeling that as the days go by, this kind of stuff will start to fade away.

If it doesn’t, maybe I’ll have to do something.

Limit each user to 1 diary per week

Don’t let new members post diaries until one week after registering
Add an anti-rec feature (vote down?) where if enough people vote a diary down it disappears from the front page

Obviously that’s more of an SB Nation wishlist than one for you, but they’d make the site more manageable.
