    if we were going to give up talent to get a guy, Tejada's numbers other than homers are better than Andruw's.

    that said I'd give up Hirsh, Willy t and nieve for him.

    Scott Boras taking on Willy T as a client is like Ari Gold taking on Johnny Drama.

    ONe team has clamied him off waviers but no one knows which team. NL team get to claim 1st. I highly doubt its the Astros because the Braves are probably looking for prospects in return. I think its the Cubs who have lotts of prospects and who are in need of outfield help. Even Though it doesnt look like its the Astros it still might be them. But more than likley its not the Astros.

    Hell... because he has Boras as an agent, Willy's new nickname could be "Willy Drama".

    That would rival Big Puma and Mango on the list of "nicknames that really don't make much sense at first glance, but are both acceptable and pertinent on further review."

    Big Puma
    Mango
    Drama
    Rooster (Gallo)
    Snow (Nieve)
    Hairdo (Scott)

    Anybody got anything else?

    Anybody see Piven singing "take me out" at Wrigley? He was supposed to say "lets hug it out, cubs fans"... but said the signature line ("lets hug it out you little b****es") for a national tv audience.

    Gotta love Ari Gold... and the show in general.

    I don't know. There is an ESPN insider article on espn.com right now that I can't open since I don't subscribe to ESPN insider, but the headline reads "Is Andruw Jones on his way out of Atlanta?"

    mlbtraderumors is the worst web site ever. they never get anything right. It's guys making stuff up and putting it up on the web. they have no sources.

    I actually found mlbtraderumors to be quite credible. The guy that runs it has a lot of sources in the business and he does of good job of making an eclectic news source.
