| Message | that same SI article convinced me he was crap. 8 pitches? that means he doesn't have two dominant ones. and for all the talk about how many pitches he throws... he did it pitching on 6 days rest all his career. 6 days! only one single time all last season did he pitch on 5 days. one time. (never mind 4 days). combine that with the fact that he faced lineups of all slap-hitters and you see one fact come clear: the bombers are going eat this guy alive after they see him the third and fourth time. you guys can gizz in your pants all you want about DiceK and Cain.. the rest of us will be happily spending our dollars on sensible players. (not sure who those are yet but when i do..look out!). |

| Message | The latest Sports Illustrated article on Dice-K has convinced me that no price is unreasonable for his services. Particularly impressive is the fact that in a game in Japan he struck out Ichiro 3 times in 1 game, a feat that no major leaguer has ever come close to achieving, pitching a complete game every 2.8 starts, the MLB average is once every 33.8 starts, he refuses to ever ice his arm, his 300 feet pitching sessions, over twice as far as any other MLB pitcher, 300 pitch bullpen practice sessions, his 250 pitch 17 inning complete game 8 yrs ago, throwing 54 innings in 11 days, 189 pitches on openning day of 2003, 160 pitches on openning day 2005, and the 588 innings before the age of 25. My price for his services has no ceiling. |

| Message | 6:30 works for me. I'll be prepping in Abb. all day starting at 9am anyways so lets get it on. |

| Message | we did it last year right before the auction, I think we should have it done first again because it can play into your auction strategy. 6:30 is a stretch for me, I get off work at 5:00 and have to run home first. It all depends on traffic. I'll get out as soon as possible though. |

| Message | Do we determine the slim draft order before the auction or after? I seem to remember we did it before the auction last year but I want to set a standard and go with it. Also, 6:30 or 7 start time? |
