Because I have access to "Insider" through my magazine subscription and because I know some of you want to know what Stark and co are writing I'll start this thread and will post any relevent articles or any that you guys want to read.

Actually, that article isn't an insider one as I had read it and I don't have the special pass. Thanks for posting this and future ones, Irish.

oops you're right, the article below it is an "insider"...damn
|

It's nice to know that one of the major gains for management has just been thrown out that window. Maybe all that work they did really was just a way to punish the Yanks.

I think it blows that almost all the good stuff on espn.com is now exclusive "insider" territory: Stark, Neyer, Gammons, all the Sports Guy Archives, etc. Not cool, ESPN.

Exactly, Seawolf. Exactly.

i thought that you can't copy/paste insider articles, or is there a way around that?

Nothing special Nym83, they are the same....I'll post Buster Olny's blog form today...

I think paying for Insider is as big a pain as everyone else, and I happily post things once in a while. But regularly posting such content is the best way to go looking for trouble on the web.

I suspect that cuttin-n-pastin full articles from commercial sites to somewhere else is on shaky ground in any case whether it originates from a pay site or not, and it's probably something we should do sparingly just in case.

I never even thought about that,I might have to re-think things...I wouldn't want Disney making an example out of me.

Today from Buster Olney
|
Rotblatt Dec 01 2005 02:05 PM |
Maybe we should test the Weaver waters if no one else is interested . . .
|

Mike Piazza has drawn interest from seven teams, says his agent.
|
MFS62 Dec 01 2005 02:09 PM |
Aside from how can someone named Buster have any credibility, I just read the 11/22 Olney item posted by Irish. Olney's credibility takes another hit in MHO.

I've talked about this a bit before - as someone who has a 'fairly substantial' interest in online media site I think the policy suggested here

The problem is that the links will expire after two weeks or so. Pasting preserves the for posterity. If we're reading this in an archive two years from now, we won't know what we're discussing if we don't paste.
|
Johnny Dickshot Dec 01 2005 05:10 PM |
I agree the relevent excerpts beats a simple link most times. I';ve been cutting and pasting mostly though, because there's no tool to EZ-ly post a link here without screwing up the page view.

Jayson Stark asks if Omar gave up too much for Delgado...
|
Rotblatt Dec 02 2005 11:53 AM |
While there may not have been many people jockeying for him at the time, I bet that after Konerko signed, there would have been a whole lot more interest--as there appears to be in the Manny market now.

I wish I didn't have to pay state taxes on the money I earned while my company had sent me to work in another state. Does he have to pay state taxes on the game checks from playing in the Bronx?
|
sharpie Dec 02 2005 12:15 PM |
|
I believe so, yes. I know in California they tax athletes for the games played in-state.
|
duan Dec 02 2005 12:48 PM |
i also think VERY strongly that it makes lots of sense for people to go now "nobody else was really into him" because nobody wants to give the impression that they 'missed out' and therefore are 'in greater need' in a tight market.
|
Edgy DC Dec 02 2005 12:55 PM |
Had we been a little creative, we'd've gone for Hans Lobert and moved him to first.

You've been hanging at some strange sites today.

I have you to thank for that.

Rob Neyer had some interesting things to say about the Mets this week in "insider"

The next three big signings by Blue Jays will by C.J. Nitkowski, D.J. Dozier, and E.J. Junior.

our very own William Peter Rottblatty made this very same point some time ago, in a lengthy thread accompanied by an avalanche of statistical evidence. Neyer... a step late and a dollar short.

Steve Phillips accesses the needs of teams, here is Stevo on the Mets...

IF we can get rid of the Matsui contract i think Grudz is better, but he's not better enough to justify paying both him and matsui, imo.
|
Frayed Knot Dec 16 2005 01:34 PM |
Except that one of the papers said today that the Mets have turned away from signing Grudzelanek.
|
MFS62 Dec 16 2005 01:42 PM |
Maybe that's because he just signed with KC.
|
Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 01:48 PM |

Or one of the ones they have to step up.
See 2002 to remind you that doesn't mean much when the games start, Steve.
The problem is that he hasn't been productive.
Highly speculative.
There is too much negativity in the stadium full stop. Surrendering to the boobirds is ceding control of your organization to abusive yahoos.
They need someone good. And, no, his hitting will not be less important than his defense. His relative grit is irrelevant.
Pretty redundant, but I get your point.
Why does grit always translate as a kind of ethnic white guy?
You should know. Hey, he's off the market. What say we get Robby Alomar again?
|
Centerfield Dec 16 2005 01:59 PM |
I love words like "grit".

Edgy DC Dec 16 2005 02:11 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 16 2005 03:43 PM |
Keep in mind that a lot of the time Matsui missed last year was because of his willingness "take a hit to turn a double play."
