Plantier has been having problems with the elbow again down in
Pawtucket.  He has not played for a while.  They did an MRI on him
Monday which came back negative.  He is going for a second opinion.  It
doesn't look like he is going to be back at all this season.  He is
getting rather unhappy about conditions in Boston.  This could prove to
be bad for him but we will have to wait and see.

I've seen a load of crap like this on both r.s.b and the A's mailing list,  
and it makes me laugh and makes me angry, at the same time!


Some questions for A's "fans" with reactions to the Canseco trade similar  
to quotes above....

Why, because a team makes a personnel decision that you don't agree with,  
do you suddenly feel that you can no longer support the team as you once  
did?

When did all of you *supposed* Oakland A's "fans" become so? When they  
acquired all of their winning talent? And now that you feel a large piece  
is gone, you no longer feel the team is worthy of your support?

If this is true, then good riddance!!! 
Don't hurt yourself getting off the bandwagon!!

Please DON'T renew your season tickets, so that someone who wholeheartedly  
supports the ** A's **, even when they feel things are not going in the  
direction they would like, can have them.

Unfortunately, I know you'll all be back in force when the A's win the  
World Series this year, proclaiming your undying love for the "green and  
gold"......do me a favor, root for the Twins.

there are "revocable" waivers, whereby if a player is claimed,
the waivers can be withdrawn and the player kept.  I don't know
the precise restrictions or when revocable/irrevocable apply.
Bruce Hurst, for example, was claimed and the waivers withdrawn.

I'm sorry for the lateness of this posting but I just regained internet
access...

I would like to address the behavior of many Cubs' fans during the re-alignment
controversy. The Cubs and their fans said that re-alignment was not in the
best interest of baseball. If anyone believes that was their motive, I've
got some nice real estate in Beiruit you might be interested in. They complain
about having to play so many west coast games. Let's make no pretenses about
their motives, it was money, pure and simple. I don't feel sorry for them 
because their cross-town rivals, the White Sox, have had to play in the
Western Division, as have more easterly teams like Cincinnati and Atlanta.
I never heard any complaining from St Louis fans who had worked up a hating
for the Mets. I never heard any complaining from Cincy fans who hated the
Dodgers. Only the Cubs fans were complaining. Some were saying that Vincent's
decision undermined the legitimacy of the NL Constitution but none of those
disputed the logic of realignment. It just doesn't make sense to have 2
eastern time zone teams in the Western Division when there is a central
time zone team in the East. There is no logical reason for the Cubs to oppose
realignment (before the Giants moved) except to protect their wallets. 
There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself monetarily but the fans have
nothing to lose by moving west; it's only their blind belief in the Cubs 
management's gospel that bothers me. I recognize that they have a legitimate
right to disagree but when they are the only fans/team who oppose realignment
and there is no logical reason for a fan to oppose realignment...					

Another example of Cubs fans arrogance was shown in a recent letter to the
Sporting News. A Cub fan wrote in telling everyone to go to hell except Cubs'
fans. He wrote, "...Who cares about insignificant markets like Atlanta and
Cincinnati?" Well, I think a constantly sold-out Atlanta Stadium might answer
the first part of the question. Since the Reds are the oldest franchise in
baseball (I think they were founded in the late 1860's), somebody must care
about them for them to survive 125 years.

I realize that this realignment talk is screwed up by the Giants' move
to St Pete but my point about the fans still stands.

All in all, I like the Cubs and Wrigley Field. They certainly do not have
fair-weather fans like one of the teams mentioned in the above paragraph
but they can sometimes act as though Major League Baseball revolves around
the south side of Chicago.

Just thought I would put in my 2 cents worth on this big trade 
between the Jays and the Mets.

The Mets obviously must have given up on the possibility of signing 
Cone or they would never have traded him.  If that is the case then 
they ended up getting a good deal.  Next year they would have been 
without Cone or Kent or PTBNL (whoever it's going to be).  Right 
now they have at least Kent and PTBNL.  I think that Jeff Kent is
going to develop into a quality ball player.

The Blue Jays MAY have also made a good deal.  If they go on to win
the World Series then this trade was worth it all the way even if they
don't sign Cone next year.  However, if they follow in the same path
that they took last year by blowing it in the ALCS and they don't sign
Cone, then they lost on the deal.  I think that they should sign Cone
anyway.  He will help to form a very potent pitching staff for a number
of years to come and no one can tell me that they can't afford him.
Even though they have a number of free agents to sign they have a very
successful franchise which is generating a lot of revenue.

>>I can't recall anyone on rsb admitting to having a sportswriter as a friend...

Well, once upon a time, before my college days, I was a sportswriter
for first my high school newspaper, and then a local newspaper in
Chula Vista, CA.  I covered mainly high school sports.  I thought
it would be a good experience.  I generally was favourably received
by the coaches when I was writing for my high school paper.  (That
paper had a reputation for good coverage of *both* my high school
teams and the teams they played against ... as a sport editor, I *always*
emphasised to my writers to interview both players and coaches from
both teams, which was a lot of fun because that was a brilliant
way to meet people!)  Then when I started writing professionally,
the coaches' attitudes changed.  And they changed remarkably.  It
got really really hard to extract any informations from these people.
It's as if I became the ogre of the world!!!  I could never understand
why.  These coaches started coming round after they realised that my
covereage was slightly different:  it was not biased ... 

But I am no longer a journalist.  I am now a theoretical chemist/computer
scientist.  I just got fed up with trying to appease the coaches and
the editors so I quit and got an education.  In chemistry.  (What a
180 degree turn!)

Reed?  Good season?  BBWAA HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!  Reed is having an

several notches, he has been caught stealing *seven* times to only
five successful attempts, and his defense has gone down the tubes.  He
would be the least reliable defensive player on the team, if Vaughn

Reed is still a fine player, and I would of course protect him in the

Okay..  All of you who think that the Mets got ripped off.  What would
you have done as the Mets GM?

Your options:
1) Don't trade him and hope you can sign him at the end of the season
(I expect Cone to be the most overpaid signing this year, unless
Ripken or Puckett takes that honor.)

2) Trade him to Toronto for Jeff Kent and this PTBNL (who might
actually be good, you realize...  *YOU* don't know that the PTBNL is
worthless.)

3) Trade him to some other contender for something else.

So who would have given what for Cone?  Tell us why, as the Mets GM,
you would prefer your proposed deal to the actual one.  Put up or shut
up.  Or at least let us laugh at what you think that Cone might have
brought.

I agree 100%. We don't know who faced stronger pitching and I
see no reason to assume the difference is negligible. "Strength
of pitching faced" needs to be quantified better and the results
need to be more widely distributed.

One question though.

Why didn't you bring up this very valid concern when some guy named

IMHO, this is a great trade for the A's.    They needed another
starting pitcher.   You can't win a pennant if you have Kelly Downs in
your rotation.  Also, they needed another reliever, and Russell seems
to fit the bill.  They will use him as a set-up man for Eck.
That should make the A's bullpen pretty solid: Eck, Russell, Parrett,
Honeycutt, Corsi.  Downs could also do some long relief if necessary.
The rotation would be Stewart, Welch (if healthy), Witt, Moore, Darling.
This is not a great rotation, but it is not bad.

The A's weren't going to sign Canseco anyway.  Why keep him around for
one more month?   They needed pitching, and they got it- plus
a very good outfielder in Sierra.

What a great answer to Toronto's signing of Cone.   The A's seem to
make the trades they need.  (e.g. the trade for Rickey in '89)
