Another frgging story from the Boras propagranda machine.

The closer it gets, I'm starting to get a Crow-like anger in me...
Just sign already…
Vivian Jaffe: "Have you ever transcended space and time?"
Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

I read four or five blogs today where all these Padres folks finally figured that out at once...
Maybe Aaron Crow won’t sign with Houston and we can get Strasburg and Crow again next year and San Diego will get Bryce Harper…

Sorry, Crow with Kansas City...(Why'd I write Houston? Weird...)

hold the line
Ed, you going berzonkas is what Boras wants… he is the master manipulator.

I haven't liked Boras for a long time...but I still think Strasburg signs...

Nahh I don't live in San Diego anymore
Maybe Strasburg will play for the Long Island Ducks next season though I can watch him some more.

Nope, Nationals hire Tony Gwynn as Manager, sign Strasburg, draft Harper...Youtube Sensation pans out...
I’m going to keep calling him “The Youtube sensation” and see if i can get it to catch on…

I don't think Gwynn will be the manager before the signing deadline.

He's not a very good manager btw

Not very serious...

Admit it. You were serious. Kidding.
I’d take him as a hitting coach. Who better to learn from than somebody who was actually a great hitter in the big leagues.

Like Lenny Harris?
Being a great hitter doesn’t mean you can teach being a great hitter. FIRE LENNY! AGAIN!

Lenny was a good pinch hitter. Tony Gwynn was better!!!

Did I really just see Lenny Harris.....
Compared to a first ballot Hall of Famer?

I think he would too. Its also a year of MLB service time he would be giving up. I suspect its just usual bluster
"On this team, the difference between Clippard and Julian Tavarez is like the difference between a 6-2 loss and a 9-2 loss." -- Chico Harlan
He'll probably sign with like 2 seconds left

its a big gamble for him not to sign too
Its not just a one sided deal…
"On this team, the difference between Clippard and Julian Tavarez is like the difference between a 6-2 loss and a 9-2 loss." -- Chico Harlan
That's what I expect...
I remember checking every 30 seconds last season to see if any Crow news broke…

Different horses
Bowden I think had some ego on the line there too.

What if you were already pissed at management?

Why would he be pissed?
Dont believe the Boras pressers… its just a tactic.

Please get it done, RZO...

I have blind faith
I think they are keen to get it done. They showed a willingness on the Tex negotiations. Zims contract renewal… there is a bit there to suggest that they are trying.
"On this team, the difference between Clippard and Julian Tavarez is like the difference between a 6-2 loss and a 9-2 loss." -- Chico Harlan
The contract extension was unquestionably good news.
I still think they never thought they were getting Tex, though.
by Chris Pendley on Jul 25, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions
well maybe so
But they stuck up the cash and it was a choice of Tex for the best team in baseball… it wasnt because they were cheap…or didnt give it a go.
Just sayn… I think they are keen to make it happen and Crow aside- we havent been given a reason to suggest that it wont.
"On this team, the difference between Clippard and Julian Tavarez is like the difference between a 6-2 loss and a 9-2 loss." -- Chico Harlan
Were they ever offering more cash than anyone else?
I know the Yankees swept in at the last minute, but I forget who was in the lead between Baltimore and DC.
by Chris Pendley on Jul 25, 2009 8:12 PM EDT up reply actions
DC moneywise...

I still wonder if the Yankees were operating under the table the entire time.
It never added up to me that they came in at the 11th hour and won with relatively little activity prior to then.
by Chris Pendley on Jul 25, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Im sure of the cash was close
then the Yanks win on position alone.

New guys in the Old Boys Club
Don’t want to offend the Grand Poobah (by screwing up his “slot plan”, which would cost all the others forever……) and who holds the reward biscuit of an All Star Game for 85 year old daddy, who just wants to honour the Poobah……
It’s just one amateur player……. not like it’s future mall property or anything….

No, I meant I was.
Well, am. Strasburg is just another piece of the puzzle.
by Chris Pendley on Jul 25, 2009 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions
If you fail to sign a player
He can decline to be drafted by the same team in the following draft I believe. Donavon Tate probably won’t sign with San Diego so if they both don’t sign next years draft would be.
1. Nationals
2. Nationals
3. Padres
4. Padres
