i love how some people are now clamoring to trade justin verlander. these were the same people 2 years ago bitching that they absolutely needed to re-sign him because he's been the face of the franchise, and how letting him walk would dispirit the entire fanbase.

a lot of people keep mentioning that the cubs should trade for price. but the cubs would be absolutely boneheaded for doing so when they can just spend the money (and not prospects) in the offseason to sign him. he's already dropped hints that he wants to play for maddon again.

There's value to adding him for the home stretch this year, though.

of course, but i don't think adding david price is getting them over the top is all. the way i see it, if they're not close to winning the WS with him, i would hate to see them lose prospects.

Maybe. What teams could match up with the top of that rotation, though?

admittedly, not many.

this is always my dilemma with prospects. you want them to stock your farm system so you can one day use them to acquire talent, but you're too afraid to flip them because you're scared that they'll one day turn into a john smoltz. but yet hanging on to them and you risk them petering out with nothing in return. it's always a gamble.

The Feds have dropped their investigation into Barry Bonds. He was appealing an obsturction conviction. That charge was overturned in April and the Feds said they would not pursue the case further.

Well, that was a good use of tax payer resources.

While sporting an average fastball velocity of 84.1, Mark Buehrle has a 1.52 ERA in his last 9 starts. In his last 14 starts, it's 2.24.

When the Jays got him, I thought he was a nice addition. I completely underestimated how much fun he would be to watch pitch on a regular basis.

As a Cubs fan, I would turn on Sox games just to watch him - similar to how I did when Maddux went the to Braves.

In 2007, Buehrle and Roy Halladay faced each other twice. They split a pair of 2-0 decisions, and they each threw a complete game in their loss. The game times were 2:07 and 1:50.
