    I hope they're not just announcing the Ensberg deal.

    Got someone to take him even though he would have been free in 9 days. Can't really complain about this one regardless of who the PTBNL is.

    Also, it's a good move for Morgan. He gets a change of scenery where the expectations will be lower and he gets to go home (relatively) to SoCal.

    Probably the best trade Purp has ever made...

    they're not gonna have a press conference because they're bringing in cash considerations. :D

    Is Ensberg for a PTBNL worthy of a news conference?

    It's a blockbuster deal: Tejada for Everett, Lane, Jennings, Lamb, Palmeiro, and Moehller.

    You heard it here first. :p

    Of course not...they are going to announce that in addition to a PTBNL, the Pads are sending Timmy P a big plate of mouth watering nachos. :eek:

    I know that the Astros have no bargaining position for this, but I'd like to see them get Clay Hensley as the PTBNL. He had a good year last year, and I think he can do well again. And he's a Lamar grad, so when DeLome makes the bigs next year, they'll be able to swap stories. :D

    If a player is picked up via waivers, then they are on the hook for the remainder of his salary. If a player is picked up after being released, then I think the team that picks him up is liable for the prorated version of the ML minimum and the team that released him has to pick up the rest.

    Are you all ready for the spin. they will say there was nothing offered. We would rather keep them and get draft picks after the season. Even though they seem to never offer players arbitration when they are free agents.

    Word has it that the PTBNL is none other than Buddy Biancalana Jr.

    Paddy MO

    Mo and cash for a player to be named or cash...
    If anything the press conference should be an apology.
