Based on what I am reading this morning the Sox will not go ten years under any circumstances. We should over an option for years nine and ten as well as a opt out clause or no trade(whatever will get it done). I believe all three offers are competitive and it might be one of these options that gets it done. We need to get this done.

This is worse than the Iran-US hostage crisis during December 1980.

Mixing metaphors, are we?

“Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!” was Reagan, in 1987, commemorating the 750th anniversay of the city of Berlin.

The Halos

are really in a pinch here.
Option 1: Tex a Boras client known for dragging things on.
Option 2: Manny (See above)

When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Let the record show

Don-Rom believes the Angels would be remiss if they missed out on Man-Ram.

For whats its worth, I’m with ya.

I've been reading the Yankees are now interested!

Or is that another Boras marketing ploy?

I was uncool before uncool was cool.

Who aren't the yankees interested?

If the Yanks are seriously interested...

Call Cashman. Offer arms for A-Rod, to drop out of the Tex bingo game. We move our proposed cash to A-Rod. The Yanks move their current cash to Tex. In fact, the Yanks can then afford to top any/all bidders and reset their infield with fresh defense and power. The Yanks beat out Boston. We spend our coin on a new 3B. Acuda is ecstatic because this opens 1B for whats-his-name…

Francisco Rodriguez: 2006 to Present: 149 saves. 5 Panthers. As fabulous as Pride, Romero, Gregg, Budde and Dino Ebel combined.

Bad Feeling.

I have this bad feeling that the Angels are going to pass/miss on all of the FAs out there. Then, the organization will say, we are completely satisfied with our current team.

by gohalos912 on Dec 17, 2008 2:09 PM PST reply actions

No Tex no Manny, then I want nothing

Maybe Sheets on a one year deal. The unit on a one year deal. Fuentes at the reported 2 year $18 mil contract that the STL is offering. that is it.

Ben Sheets

If the price is right, I think he is worth the gamble. The thought of a big 3 of Lackey, Santana, and a healthy Sheets would just dominate.

Bad Blood between Teixera and BoSux

The One That Got Away!
Evidently Blaah-ston drafted Teix in the 9th round of the 98 draft out HS but was unable to sign him due to too few dollars offered. Mark went on to Georga Tech and ended up being drafted 1st round, 5th overall & signed with Texas.

The following article describes a recent meeting between Teix & the Sux to heal the 10 year rift. Perhaps Teix doesn’t really want to play there after all.

Management and ownership have changed since then.

I do not think this is an issue

Tex.....make up your mind already.

you know all you need to know. Do you really need an extra million dollars????

Add an option year or two

I’d still like to see the Angels increase their offer (a little) to get this done. An option year is reasonable. But, not an opt-out clause. Then we’ll have a repeat of the A-Rod drama.

This is not a free agent negotiation

But full on racketeering, by Mr. Bora$, I am almost certain that the Halos won’t get Tex, but even if we do..at what cost? I’m reminded of those modern day poets, Motley Crue, don’t go away mad, just go away. Shall we entertain offers from the other FA’s now, or continue our focus on Tex?
