I had hoped I could coax responses from both Block and Shabes.? Glad?it worked.

Hey, I have an idea for the Bosox: replace Justin Masterson with Clay Buchholz.? Here is the argument for doing so:

?

Masterson: 9 starts in the majors, all five innings or longer, with an ERA/Ratio of 3.67/1.26.

?

Buchholz:? 8 starts in the majors, with an ERA/Ratio of 5.53/1.63.

?

?

Sure, that makes sense....and next thing you will tell me is that Brett Favre is coming back.....

?

You can say what you want about Masterson but he's still one of their top prospects in their system and?will be starting next year (don't believe what they're saying for this year to stand next year) when Colon is out of their rotation.

?

Not sure I remember correctly, but I think the kid had some really good performances this year in a starting role. Mark, if you are up for trading back, I'm happy to talk.

Andy:

If you're trying to do a deal w/ Blocker, you should take a look at this Masterson kid.? He might make a decent middle reliever if the re-tooling is successful.? I figure you'll like him.? He's got a wicked slider and shaky control--eerily reminiscent of Craig Hansen.? Your kind of guy.

Mark

I hereby propose two mid-season rules proposals:?
?
1. That the statistics of players traded to the NL during the season continue to count for USML purposes.?
?
2. That Mark Blocker be required to return phone calls and messages when other players try to trade with him (futile though that might be ...)?
?
That is all.?
?
Sadly,?
