The only thing that shows is Orioles' pitchers can't throw strikes. I could have told you that.

Did you not hear that Ryan Howard is his guy?

I hope the Yankees get Lee just to block him from going to the Twins. With Lee the Twins will actually be able to beat the Yankees for once.

The talks are getting more serious, but no deal yet is what I'm hearing.

I have to imagine there is a bidding war going on. Twins aren't the only team that wants Lee. Reds have a strong trading chip in Yonder Alonso and Ramos had a strong showing in the bigs but isn't he hitting like .208 in the minors?

And to help, Yonder is finally showing the pop many thought he would. He is about fully healed from his broken wrist. 2-4 tonight with a double and HR

Take him Mets or Reds, preferably the Reds since I've been cheering for them all season and I don't really think Yonder is all that great of a prospect.

Was there a rumored package of players going to Seattle from Minnesota?
Anyone wanna venture a guess? Is Ramos the centerpiece?

NO! The Reds must stumble and Lee will help them not do that.

I'm so conflicted on the Mets getting Lee. Obviously he'd be an enormous addition but I don't think we'd re-sign him. I'm really not sure who I'd want to give up for him.

It's not like Ramos is the only guy we have to offer, for the first time in the last few years out farm system actually has some decent talent in it, I think BA ranked it as 6th in the league.

I think the Twins system kind of sucks outside of Aaron Hicks, but that's just me.

The Twins were 7th. The thing is with Lee you really shouldn't have to give up anyone better than what the Indians or Phillies got which wasn't much.

Better than two draft picks.
