Coming from a Cardinals fan, I'm sad to see Sammy go. He was a huge part of the Cubs/Cards rivalry. Him and Mark rejuvinated one of the best rivalries in baseball back in 98. The Cubs are idiots to trade a player as good as Sammy and only get Harriston in return. If that is what they're getting, if they get more Sportscenter didn't mention it. :P

while im sure no organization never wants to trade a player of sosa's caliber, i believe it was time for sammy to go, he had just simply worn out his welcome in chicago. if i was sammy, i dont know if i would be too happy bout being traded to baltimore though, it would be a miracle just for baltimore to make the playoffs, much less win a playoff series

The Cubs have been wanting to get rid of him, the problem is that his contract automatically picks up an $18 million option for the 2006 season if he's traded.

 

This is the first I've heard that voiding that clause of the contract wouldn't be frowned upon by the MLBPA.

 

Personally, I've always thought Sosa to be a charlatan anyway.

They were just talking about the line-up the Orioles would have if they acquired Sammy. Melvin Mora leading off, Tejada batting 2nd, Palmeiro in the 3 hole, Sammy clean up, and Javy Lopez 5th. That's a great top 5. I doubt the O's will win the A.L. East with Sammy but they will contend like they were supposed to do last season. B)

Sosa won't help them nearly as much as some people think. Lopez isn't durable, Sosa's a reputation who used to be really good, and Palmeiro gets the AARP discount at the team hotels.

 

Sosa might be worth trading for, depending on how much of his contract is picked up...but he's no longer a superstar.

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.

      Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
