Nomah Garciaparra

[LeftWideOpen]

It's reportedly down to Los Angeles and Houston. If he goes to the Dodgers then I think they just made themselves favorites in the NL West (not that its much of an accomplishment). I don't think this guy is done - he could still put up 20 homers and 100 RBI's for a team. An infield of Furcal, Kent, Mueller, and Nomar would be among the best in the league and the Dodgers might actually be able to score some runs.

[Spicoli hey bud]

thank you for not coming to NY

[selftitled85]

thank you for not coming to NY

well fucking said...i did not want to see him in ny.

[weezer182]

he deserves to go to houston

[Emopunkthrice]

MEAAAA, as much as I hate the Astros, I prefer them over the Dodgers. But Nomar is Local to the LA/OC area so I Think the Dodgers may end up with another good move.

[Spicoli hey bud]

just the thought of him being here got me heated

I'll root for the Dodgers since they picked up Mueller. Couldnt ask for a better guy in the clubhouse (Mueller that is).

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Still dont like him at 1B, but nomar cant range anymore so sitcking him on a corner is a good move.

still wish he came back to boston.

[somethingyellow]

An infield of Furcal, Kent, Mueller, and Nomar would be among the best in the league and the Dodgers might actually be able to score some runs.Izturis would be playing so that line up prolly wouldn't be on the field, if anything nomar would take muellers position at third, or in the outfield

[NetNerdsRevenge]

true that, and I've always liked DLowe as well. Hate LA, like their players (i hate you kent).

[LeftWideOpen]

isnt Izturis out till mid season?

[selftitled85]

just the thought of him being here got me heated


when i read it here that one night and then the next day on espn i was freaking out...i dont even like the fact that the yankees contacted damon. booooo.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Mueller is their starting 3B. nomar is CF could work, but I think they're trying to shop kent....are they not?

[itsjdiggity]

we got rid of bradley and perez cause we dont like ******

[somethingyellow]

isnt Izturis out till mid season?
oh im not sure if so that would make sense, being a giants fan i wouldn't mind him being out

[itsjdiggity]

oh im not sure if so that would make sense, being a giants fan i wouldn't mind him being out

im pretty sure he is...i'd rather have choi at 1st than kent

[mikeford]

His name is Nomar.

He lost the PRIVILEGE to be called Nomah when he decided to be a sourpuss little bitch.

[aminorthreat55]

Nomar took steroids and ruined his career. Sucks for him.

there you go again

turning down 4/60 was his worst decision. now look at him, not even being considered for the SS position. I would love to hear what he has to say about this deal now.

[somethingyellow]

im pretty sure he is...i'd rather have choi at 1st than kent
maybe for defense but i wouldnt take kent outta the line up for choi

[Emopunkthrice]

The angels will get rid of all there white people soon, and only get hispanics I swear!!!

[NetNerdsRevenge]

The Giants are also pretty dark.

[mikeford]

i hate nomar... i cant forgive him for turning his back on boston the way he did.

[underthetalking]

I most certainly did not want Nomar on the Yankees. Damon is another story. He could help us, but the Yankees would most likely not give him the big contract he is looking for. Seven years, hell no. Four, probably.

[underthetalking]

i hate nomar... i cant forgive him for turning his back on boston the way he did.

You turned your backs on each other.

[LeftWideOpen]

yeahhhh granted the guy was dumb for turning down $15 mil a year ...but he didnt force his way out. Theo pulled the strings because he didnt want to sign him for the money he was looking for.

It isnt like he requested a trade THREE times or anything.

I'll take Nomar over Manny any day when it comes to betraying a fanbase.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Theo was right in this situation. No way is Nomar worth more than 15 mil a year. Even 15 is a bit much considering his wrist injury. Manny is overpaid by a few million too.

And what did you expect theo to do? Over pay for a potential injury crisis? Nomar brought great players to the sox when he was traded, and they were key parts in the march to victory.

I would blame Nomar for being greedy above anything else, but I wish he was back.

If Johnny Damon goes to the fucking Yankees, I'll never watch Major League Baseball again..

[NetNerdsRevenge]

yes you will. you can never get it out of your blood, no matter how hard you try or want too.

back to nomar, though...I wouldn't count Houston out of this race. They could really use his bat in the line-up and they have a number of positions he could play. Wasn't Everett DFA'd about a week ago??

[Talib Scottie]

If Johnny Damon goes to the fucking Yankees, I'll never watch Major League Baseball again..
haha they've talked to him.

I just think back to the times when Nomar, A Rod, and Jeter were without a doubt the three best shortstops and now it's a possibility they'll be on the same team.

[getupkid53]

I don't think Nomar will go to houston. He's a no fit. They have a strong left side, and Bags as a first baseman. He doesn't have the range to play center daily, and the 'stros already have a solid DH. He'll be fighting for a spot in the everyday rotation. Los Angeles can work him in to their offensive scheme better and can rotate him in different spots on the field. I think he is a better fit there too.

[Doug]

i think it's amazing how yankee fans can be so negative about getting former boston players, why WOULDN'T you want johnny damon on your team?

[weezer182]

i think it's amazing how yankee fans can be so negative about getting former boston players, why WOULDN'T you want johnny damon on your team? i think it goes both ways. there are plenty of redsox fans that wouldnt want a yankee on their team. i think its dumb. why wouldnt you want a good player on your team who would help you win?

The Astros have no offense what so ever. Nomar would be a nice addition and could play a few positions. They can find room for him with his bat.

Also, what DH are you talking about? Houston is NL

[concealer611]

I really hope he chooses Houston, god knows we need his bat. We have too many good "defensive" (Everett, Ausmus) players and not enough hitters. If he stays healthy he will produce whereever they stick him.

[Jesse2]

the only boston player i would be opposed to would be manny, because i don't care for him. most of them i would want on "my" team. just about every time i watch a red sox game i say "man i wish we had ____".

i might be violating some sort of yankee/red sox code by admitting that, but it's the truth.

dude, i'll agree, all this, "if johnny damon signs to my yankees i'm gonna quit baseball" shit is completely ridiculous. i hate matsui, but i would have him on my team in a split second. same goes for a lot of dudes minus arod.

some people just take their hatred for the opposing team too far, in my opinion. i love rivalries, and i definitely don't hate people for being on the other side. this isn't war, it's baseball.

ps fuck the red sox.

sike.

i said it because i HATE the Yankees.

[underthetalking]

I would love Damon on our team. Not to mention Ortiz. Both damn good players in my eyes and have consistenly shit on the Yankees the last couple of years.

Houston has a DH? Who?

[Talib Scottie]

exactly.

[mikeford]

id take any yankee on the red sox except arod because he brings a curse


oh, and former yankee paul oniell

because fuck paul oniell.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Houston has a DH? Who?
Im also not sure what he's talking about by a strong left side. Adam Everett sucks.

Speaking for myself, a Yankee fan, I would fucking love Damon in center field at the Stadium in pinstripes. So I am out of that category.

So, Choi is on the trade block?

Damn. I forgot all about him...

they also have Saenz

it seems like a complete clusterfuck to me

It is the Dodgers.

I could live with Choi


no, I cant actually...Youkilis is playing first.

Coletti is getting his own guys ..Choi probably isnt one of them. He'll be gone before spring training.

[mikeford]

also, this makes me pleased because now that stupid marte and mota trade to the injuns for crisp is dead.

Choi would not be a bad Platoon mate with Youk. he has also had some praise for his defense. I doubt its Doug Minky's type of glove, or even Olerud, but he could be a nice pick-up if we worked a Wells for Choi + (werth?) deal.

How long before we see a green wall in left field?

[LeftWideOpen]

How long before we see a green wall in left field?

yeah the owner McCourt wanted to buy the Sox but lost out to Henry ..so he's building the west coast red sox.

they'll probably announce the signing of don sutton so they can have their version of johnny pesky in the dugout.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

I wouldn't be surprised if they sign Millar as a bench player.

and then we would get a first round sandwhich pick!

[Emopunkthrice]

yeah they "win"
to tell you the truth I hate all LA/OC baseball, Its all about San Diego and Oakland as the only good CA teams, but what I meant to say was the dodgers win the sweepstakes for nomar...oh well.

[mikeford]

what sweepstakes

any team getting nomar ultimately loses.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Nomar can still post a .300 BA, .340 obp, and .450 Slg. His injury risk is concerning, but he is no way a loss.

[mikeford]

Nomar can still post a .300 BA, .340 obp, and .450 Slg. His injury risk is concerning, but he is no way a loss.

i really question the validity of that after his injury last year.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

hence: "his injury risk is still concerning"

but, him playing first base will help. He came back well after his injury last year. A few months off and a new position cannot hurt.
