Jim, if I were you, I'd stay away from the waiver wire. You traded Tomo Ohka for a guy no longer in the major leagues, and You waived Byung Young Kim, and he's starting for the Rockies. You waived Claudio Vargas, and he's starting for the Diamondbacks. What do you always like to say, Jim, something about "You can never have enough pitching?" Let's see, you waived Rasner, and he's starting for the Yankees. Pitching on Sunday against the Twins, Rasner pitched 6 strong innings, allowing just 1 run on 6 hits.

Marcus Giles is a good fielder and should produce another 300-20-70 season Good but not what the Braves need from an infield corner position. ![]() Here is a breakdown:įranco is 46 - no way he can have another.

Last year was to be 'the' year - the year that the house of Turner came crumbling down. Oh, I know, we've been hearing that for a half-dozen years now. “Home of the brave”?

If people here are too scared to take in refugees from Syria, the Statue of Liberty should be demolished, along with its promise to take in the homeless.
