FanHouse MLB Chat(07/24/2008)

Mullet: 
Hey there baseball fans.   Welcome to the latest FanHouse MLB chat.   Another beautiful day in the big city here, and made more beautiful by the presence of AOL's own Andrew Johnson.   Andrew, thanks as always.   How's it going?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:00 Mullet
2:01
Andrew Johnson: 
Very well, an apt comparison calling this time of year like the anticipation for Christmas morning. This is my favorite part of the baseball calendar other than October.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:01 Andrew Johnson
2:02
Mullet: 

It really is like that.   And the boxes under the tree seem to be getting bigger as the names are getting bigger.   Let's start with the bottom feeders of the A.L. East starting to unload.   How close is A.J. Burnett to getting dealt?

 

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:02 Mullet
2:04
Andrew Johnson: 
Well what I keep hearing is, surprisingly, not very close at all. I was at Burnett's rain-shortened start last night in Baltimore. There were A LOT of scouts in the pressbox and elsewhere. He was good, but not great. Showing that big 95 mph fastball, 82-84 mph hook. But he gave up a lot of loud outs. He's really a fragile No. 2, and with his ability to opt out of his contract at the end of the year, the Jays might not be able to get as much as they'd like for him
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:04 Andrew Johnson
2:05
Andrew Johnson: 
Roy Halladay, on the other hand ...
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:05 Andrew Johnson
2:06
Mullet: 
Yes, his name made an appearance today!
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:06 Mullet
2:06
Mullet: 
Is there a real chance that Halladay could be wheeled?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:06 Mullet
2:06
Andrew Johnson: 
I should add, probably several of those scouts were on hand to try and catch George Sherrill
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:06 Andrew Johnson
2:06
[Comment From ShawninSalisburyShawninSalisbury: ] 
You mentioned the Baltimore game last night. How many people were there looking at Brian Roberts?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:06 ShawninSalisbury
2:07
Andrew Johnson: 
I don't think anyone, though I can't be sure. It's very unlikely Roberts will be dealt this year. I'll actually have a piece on that later today, but the short version is the Orioles are actually building toward something, and Roberts might be able to be a part of that
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:07 Andrew Johnson
2:08
Andrew Johnson: 
Back to Halladay, I don't see him getting dealt, do you Mullet?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:08 Andrew Johnson
2:08
Mullet: 

I think the Jays would be crazy ... I had recently seen a piece where the Jays themselves had said that they wouldn't do it.   But ...

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:08 Mullet
2:09
Andrew Johnson: 
He's under contract for two more seasons AFTER this one.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:09 Andrew Johnson
2:09
Mullet: 
I think with CC Sabathia pitching so well these days, perhaps there are teams that will feel some pressure to up the ante and trade the world to get Halladay IF the Jays made him available.   And if the J's get that "bowled over" trade, I wonder.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:09 Mullet
2:09
Andrew Johnson: 

They can hold onto him for next year and try again to make a run, and still get plenty in trade at the 2009 deadline or in the winter of 2009, or even at the 2010 deadline

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:09 Andrew Johnson

[Comment From kennykenny: ] 
toronto will remain as they are,,,rebuilding if any will happen after season and halliday will want out
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:10 kenny
2:10
[Comment From GeorgeGeorge: ] 
The Jays would be crazy to trade Halladay. They have some talent in the minors and they might be able to keep him and progress in a year or two
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:10 George
2:10
Mullet: 
Yeah, I think the chances are slim.   I wouldn't say none, but slim.   The Jays have a bunch of smaller pieces they could trade if they wanted to sell off for minor leaguers.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:10 Mullet
2:11
Andrew Johnson: 
Toronto really needs offensive help. Maybe if they could get a prime mid-order bat that could help, they'd do it, but still ...
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:11 Andrew Johnson
2:11
Andrew Johnson: 
They aren't going to get that bat from a contender at the deadline. Better to deal him in the winter.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:11 Andrew Johnson
2:11
[Comment From kennykenny: ] 
ricciardi wont stand silent this off season..in fact his job may depend on it
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:11 kenny
2:11
Andrew Johnson: 
Assuming he has a job!
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:11 Andrew Johnson
2:12
Mullet: 

Yeah, I don't think his job hinges on this trade deadline.   If he gets fired, his  fate has more than likely already been decided by now.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:12 Mullet
2:13
Andrew Johnson: 
I'm honestly a bit surprised he still has a job. The Jays farm system is pretty barren other than Travis Snider and a few pitchers.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:13 Andrew Johnson
2:14
[Comment From GeorgeGeorge: ] 
Well they could have landed Dunn but Ricardi blew his mouth off
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:14 George
2:14
Mullet: 

There are some bats out there to be had.   And I'm hearing that the price for a guy like Xavier Nady has gone down.   How many outfielders do you see switching places in July?

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:14 Mullet
2:16
Andrew Johnson: 
I think you'll see most of the lesser names available get moved. Raul Ibanez, Casey Blake, Nady as you mention. I don't get why no one has said much about Brian Giles, but he would be a nice addition too.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:16 Andrew Johnson
2:16
[Comment From GeorgeGeorge: ] 
Do you think Dunn and Griffey will be traded?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:16 George
2:16
Andrew Johnson: 
Not sure we're going to see Bay or Holliday get moved
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:16 Andrew Johnson
2:17
Andrew Johnson: 
I don't think Griffey is getting moved.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:17 Andrew Johnson
2:17
Mullet: 

Griffey's numbers are not Griffey in his prime ... the Rays have gotten the same production out of Eric Hinske.   I don't see a lot of interest in Junior.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:17 Mullet
2:18
[Comment From johnjohn: ] 
Milton Bradley is the middle of the order bat and would not cost as much
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:18 john
2:18
Mullet: 
I don't think the Rangers would trade Bradley unless they could get a top flight pitcher for him, which isn't likely.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:18 Mullet
2:18
Andrew Johnson: 
Dunn, you get into a tough situation. Can a team offer Walt Jocketty more than the two draft picks he'll get for the slugger this winter?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:18 Andrew Johnson
2:19
Andrew Johnson: 
And who would  give up much  for Bradley? The guy has temper issues and isn't exactly Cal Ripken out there.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:19 Andrew Johnson
2:19
Mullet: 

Bradley's value is probably to the Rangers and the Rangers only.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:19 Mullet
2:20
Mullet: 
And Dunn is a strange case because his numbers are so extreme.   He has a low average but a high OBP.   How do you set value for someone like Dunn?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:20 Mullet
2:20
[Comment From ScottScott: ] 
What about Teixeira? I have heard the Braves have told him he will not be traded, but we are slipping farther out of contention with each day.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:20 Scott
2:20
Andrew Johnson: 
Right. Well, I think as JP Ricciardi's comments show, some teams appreciate him, others won't, which hurts his open market trade value.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:20 Andrew Johnson
2:21
[Comment From Ron in LARon in LA: ] 
Rumors have the DiamondBacks looking at Teixeira? How would that affect what the Dodgers do?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:21 Ron in LA
2:22
Andrew Johnson: 
I can't get a read on the Teixeira situation. The Braves absolutely SHOULD trade him. Yet, the rumors just over the last two days have Atlanta drafting a list of partners for a Teix trade and also scouting Jason Bay.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:22 Andrew Johnson
2:22
Andrew Johnson: 
I don't think Atlanta knows what it wants to do with him yet
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:22 Andrew Johnson
2:22
Mullet: 

Arizona has Conor Jackson so I'm not sure they're a fit.   The Angels though ...

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:22 Mullet
2:23
[Comment From BCCBCC: ] 
Dbacks have a solid first with Conner.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:23 BCC
2:23
Andrew Johnson: 
The Dodgers would be in big trouble if Arizona got Teixeira. Worth noting that Jackson has played a lot of left field this year, though not very well
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:23 Andrew Johnson
2:24
[Comment From Ron in LARon in LA: ] 
The dodgers are in big trouble anyway
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:24 Ron in LA
2:24
Mullet: 
And if there's a team that has chips in the farm to get Big Tex, it's Arizona.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:24 Mullet
2:24
[Comment From ScottScott: ] 
What about a Tex for Holliday, straight up?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:24 Scott
2:25
Mullet: 
Ooh, a fantasy baseball type trade.   Nice.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:25 Mullet
2:25
Andrew Johnson: 
Wouldn't work. Atlanta would have to send more than Teixeira since Holliday has another year on his contract.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:25 Andrew Johnson
2:25
Andrew Johnson: 
Also there's this Todd Helton guy who is under contract til like 2235
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:25 Andrew Johnson
2:25
Mullet: 
And Atlanta isn't in the business of letting prospects go.   They want young guys back.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:25 Mullet
2:26
[Comment From BCCBCC: ] 
Will the Angels get a big bat?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:26 BCC
2:26
Andrew Johnson: 
They don't seem to feel they need one, which is amazing to me.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:26 Andrew Johnson
2:27
[Comment From BCCBCC: ] 
Why?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:27 BCC
2:27
Mullet: 
We talked about the Angels in our last chat as a team that doesn't normally make their deals at the deadline ... and with the large lead they have in the division, they might have a false sense of security.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:27 Mullet
2:27
Andrew Johnson: 
I don't really have a good answer. They are built around young pitching and don't seem to be willing to divert from this plan.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:27 Andrew Johnson
2:28
Andrew Johnson: 
It's a REAL false sense of security. Their run differential isn't as good as either of the Soxes. Would anyone pick them in a playoff series against Boston? I wouldn't even though they've dominated the Red Sox this season.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:28 Andrew Johnson
2:29
[Comment From johnjohn: ] 
tex to Angles also makes some sence they tried for him last summer and we all know how Boras loves So Cal for his clients
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:29 john
2:29
Mullet: 
I also read somewhere that the Rockies would want a package from the Angels which includes Santana/Saunders and Kendrick for Holliday.   That, if it's true, would be  a heck of a lot.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:29 Mullet
2:30
Andrew Johnson: 
I think the Angels SHOULD do something like that. For all their success, they haven't even been out of the first round since 2005.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:30 Andrew Johnson
2:30
Andrew Johnson: 
Yeah, that's way too much, particularly because LA is using those players in the majors right now.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:30 Andrew Johnson
2:31
[Comment From BCCBCC: ] 
No, not a good move for Angels. You need to look at how Mike manages....
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:31 BCC
2:31
Andrew Johnson: 
I know they're aggressive on the basepaths, but that clearly isn't working in the postseason.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:31 Andrew Johnson
2:32
Mullet: 

Aggressivness on the bases is fine, but someone besides Vladdy has to knock 'em in.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:32 Mullet
2:32
[Comment From Ron in LARon in LA: ] 
What do the Dodgers do? They need a big bat, but don't seem willing to take on more salary?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:32 Ron in LA
2:33
Mullet: 

If I had Andruw Jones, I'd be scared of taking on more salary too.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:33 Mullet
2:33
Andrew Johnson: 
I don't think they're going to do much. Colletti is another guy who is in all the rumors then ends up reluctant to deal his young players in the end.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:33 Andrew Johnson
2:33
Mullet: 

Agreed.   They really like Kemp and Loney, and with good reason.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:33 Mullet
2:34
Andrew Johnson: 
They need offensive help bigtime.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:34 Andrew Johnson

[Comment From SamSam: ] 
How about K-Rod for Manny?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:34 Sam

Mullet: 

The creativity out there is abundant.   That's wild.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:35 Mullet
2:35
Andrew Johnson: 
Another fantasy trade. Boston needs Manny more than K-Rod
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:35 Andrew Johnson
2:35
[Comment From Green MonsterGreen Monster: ] 
Do you think Boston will make a trade?
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:35 Green Monster
2:36
Mullet: 

Maybe a back of the rotation starter.   Other than that, Big Papi is on his way back, that will probably be their acquisition.   I don't see it.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:36 Mullet
2:36
Mullet: 
The Red Sox in the trade market, that is.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:36 Mullet
2:36
Andrew Johnson: 
David Ortiz seems fine, so I don't think they'll need a big bat. They could use some bullpen help, and the name I keep hearing is Damaso Marte, but the guy to really watch is Justin Masterson.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:36 Andrew Johnson
2:37
Andrew Johnson: 
Boston converted him to relief in the minors and he made his first appearance yesterday.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:37 Andrew Johnson

Andrew Johnson: 
2 2/3 IP,  0 H, 0 R, 3 K
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:37 Andrew Johnson

If he does that, the Red Sox aren't going to need anyone.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:37 Andrew Johnson
2:37
Mullet: 
Masterson has looked good in his time up in the bigs.   If he can make the switch to reliever, those guys are going to be impossible to beat ... again!

It's pretty amazing. Boston has been ravaged by injuries and they just keep plugging guys in. If they can get everyone healthy for the second half, they've got to be the favorite again
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:38 Andrew Johnson

Any more leaving the A's? I've read the Street rumors, anyone else in the pipeline? Somebody please take Chavez!
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:40 Matt

Andrew Johnson: 
What I think they're really going to do is look for a salary dump. That's why you keep hearing Jarrod Washburn.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:40 Andrew Johnson
2:41
Andrew Johnson: 
Flex their financial muscles so they don't have to give up any good prospects. That's the same thing Cashman did in 2006 in the Abreu-Lidle deal, if you recall
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:41 Andrew Johnson
2:42
Mullet: 

And give up NOTHING for those two guys.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:42 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
Nobody's taking Chavez.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:42 Andrew Johnson
2:42

No.   But the Huston Street rumors are fascinating.   I've heard Tampa linked to Street and Matt Murton in the same deal.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:42 Mullet
2:42
Andrew Johnson: 
Other than Street, I think you could see Justin Duchscherer or Bobby Crosby get moved.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:42 Andrew Johnson

I don't think I'd want Street right now if I was a contender.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:43 Andrew Johnson
2:43
Mullet: 
Duchscherer would be a classic Beane trade.   This is a guy at the peak of his value off of his first year as a starter.   I'd be surprised if Duke stayed to be honest.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:43 Mullet
2:43
[Comment From BCCBCC: ] 
Why would they move Justin? He is great!
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:43 BCC
2:44

Justin's peripherals are not strong. He doesn't miss a lot of bats and he doesn't get that many ground balls. Mullet is right on here.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:44 Andrew Johnson
2:44
Mullet: 
Isn't Justin pushing 30, too?   And this is his walk year.   Beane trades guys like that all the time.   And with teams wanting pitching, he can get a decent haul for him.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:44 Mullet

If he traded Harden, why not Duchscherer?

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:47 Matt

Fork is in. I think the Rangers might even finish ahead of them this year. Speaking of Texas, that's going to be a very, very good ballclub very, very soon.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:47 Andrew Johnson
2:48
Mullet: 
With three good teams in the A.L. East, it'll be too tough for the A's to find that last gear, especially if these other guys get sold off.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:48 Mullet
2:48

Andrew, totally agreed on the Rangers.   I'd love to see what some good young sinkerball pitchers can do in that park with that lineup behind them.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:48 Mullet

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:50 DrakeSTL

Andrew Johnson: 
I'd like to see them go and get AJ Burnett if the cost wasn't prohibitive.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:51 Andrew Johnson
2:51
Mullet: 

Sherrill upped his profile in the All-Star game.   He'd be a great get for the Cardinals, especially if the price for Fuentes and Marte remains high.

Thursday July 24, 2008 2:51 Mullet
2:51
Andrew Johnson: 
But I think the Cards' season may hinge on what they get from Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:51 Andrew Johnson
2:52
Mullet: 
Which is a lot to ask out of those guys, especially Carpenter after being out since last season.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:52 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
The left-handed relief market is pretty robust this year.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:52 Andrew Johnson
2:53

I think the Rays would be wise to look at Fuentes ... I don't trust Percival to stay healthy the rest of the year.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:53 Mullet
2:53
Mullet: 
And perhaps the Marlins too.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:53 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
Yeah, look St. Louis has overachieved so far this year. I think it might be better to sit this one out and look toward 2009. By one I mean the trade deadline

Fuentes has been scouted by pretty much every AL contender.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:54 Andrew Johnson

The Rockies are supposedly asking for a top pitching prospect in return. Hard to see that happening. They ain't getting Clay Buchholz for him, as an example.

Fuentes  has  gotta get dealt.   With the market so good for them, and with Corpas on the roster, it just makes sense.   But no, they're not getting Buchholz.   That's crazy talk.
Thursday July 24, 2008 2:55 Mullet

Corpas is going to be Colorado's closer next season. He's under the team's control for the next four years. Fuentes is going to be a free agent. That's why he's going and Manny is staying.

Yea. I don't think the Mets should be complacent just because they've started to play well. They need a real outfielder, even if Ryan Church comes back healthy. Nady, Blake, Ibanez, I still like Brian Giles too.
Thursday July 24, 2008 3:01 Andrew Johnson

I also like Giles.   I think the Mets, if given the choice, would prefer a righty to a lefty if they were to make a deal.   But depending on how the market shakes out, they may not have that choice.
Thursday July 24, 2008 3:01 Mullet

Thursday July 24, 2008 3:02 Mullet
3:03
Mullet: 
Colin, the high end of the Mets prospects are Fernando Martinez, who they're not dealing, and Jon Niese ... a lefty pitcher.   That's pretty much it.   And it doesn't give them a lot of flexibility to make a deal for a guy like Nady or what have you.
Thursday July 24, 2008 3:03 Mullet
3:03
Andrew Johnson: 
Mullet could probably better answer that question. But the Mets pretty much emptied out their farm system for Johan Santana. Which is why you can just ignore any Matt Holliday or Jason Bay rumor. New York doesn't have the pieces for a star.
Thursday July 24, 2008 3:03 Andrew Johnson

Mullet: 

The rest of the interesting prospects in the Mets system after those two might be the guys they drafted this season, like Ike Davis or Reese Havens.   And I don't see those guys getting dealt either.

One last note on this. Liriano didn't even come up as a pitcher. I believe he was a catcher first. He's never had to throw this many innings before. He pitched part of one major league season and suffered a major injury. It's fair to wonder if he can hold up over 200 innings every season.

And the fact that Nady was very good in the four months he was a Met boosts his value in New York even further.

He was but would Raul Ibanez be cheaper than Nady
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:39 George

Mullet: 
Conventional wisdom says yes.   Seattle has to be realistic and stop asking for guys like Max Scherzer for him.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:40 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
Not necessarily. I think Casey Blake is the real bargain bin option among them alll, but then he's not quite as good as Nady or Ibanez right now.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:40 Andrew Johnson

Mullet: 
There are enough teams that need/want outfielders where Blake will be moved somewhere easily.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:41 Mullet

Mullet: 
Even after guys like Nady/Ibanez are moved.

Andrew Johnson: 
Wouldn't this be robbing Peter to pay Paul?

Andrew Johnson: 
Who plays center field then?
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 Andrew Johnson
4:43
Mullet: 
Yeah, that's not happening.

That would be awesome but who wold play center Chavez
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 George

Mullet: 

Would you want Chavez in your everyday lineup?

Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 Mullet

Mullet: 
Not me.

Andrew Johnson: 

I think Beltran's actually a better player than Holliday right now, when you account for his excellent defense.

Thursday July 24, 2008 4:44 Andrew Johnson
4:44
Mullet: 

And I love Endy ... but he's a fourth OF.

Thursday July 24, 2008 4:44 Mullet

Mullet: 
And also account for Beltran's ability to steal bases.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:44 Mullet
4:45
Andrew Johnson: 
And we haven't even touched on Holliday's struggles away from Coors Field and the fact that he's only three years younger than Beltran.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:45 Andrew Johnson
4:45
Mullet: 
Beltran's downfall is that his numbers close and late have been horrible ... that's why there's a good amount of anti-Beltran sentiment in N.Y. ... more than there should be.   But not only are his numbers good, his defense is great, but he's also willing to dive and crash into walls in the outfield, and his willingness to play hurt.   That doesn't get talked about enough.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:45 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
Beltran does have a pedigree for success in the postseason. Remember the show he put on in 2004 for the Astros.

Who would the Mets trade Martinez for
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:46 George
4:47
Mullet: 
If they wouldn't trade him for Santana, then they're not trading him for anybody.   (I assume you mean Fernando and not Pedro.)
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:47 Mullet

Andrew Johnson: 
Omar's got to hold onto the blue-chippers he has in the high minors.

[Comment From GeorgeGeorge: ] 
Do u think Ike Davis will be a good pick for the Mets or will they use Mike Carp
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:52 George
4:52
Mullet: 
Carp is a decent prospect, but the Mets see Davis as their first baseman of the future.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:52 Mullet

Mullet: 
So it looks like it's time to wrap things up.   Before we go, I ask you Andrew:   What will be the biggest trade left, and what will be the biggest name to be moved that will surprise us?
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:53 Mullet
4:56
Andrew Johnson: 
Hmmm, well I still think AJ Burnett will get moved, and he'll have a big impact wherever he ends up. As for a surprise deal, I'll say Jeff Francoeur. Feel like Atlanta could move him.

Andrew Johnson: 
Thanks for having me Mullet. I'll try not to wake the neighbors on my way out.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:56 Andrew Johnson
4:57
Mullet: 

Take your shoes off and tip-toe!   Thanks to you Andrew, and thanks to all of you for being a part of it.   With the trade deadline coming, we'll be sure to do this again very soon!!!
