Tex and the Nats...

[mikehughes]

if we land Tex, i think he immediately makes our lineup more than legit-it'd be a potential powerhouse. we'd have 5 players who will hit 20+ homers- Milledge, Zimmerman, Tex, Dukes, and Willingham. a 3-4-5 of Zimmerman, Tex, and Dukes would be a FORCE! obviously, i put the emphasis on Dukes. Zimmerman would excel batting in front of Tex, and Dukes would rack up the RBI's batting behind Tex.

the only sketchy player in our lineup would be Anderson Hernandez, which we could override by acquiring Hudson.

Not sketchy for long for the highlight reel plays and a 280-290 Avg with possible 300

I love when AZ and mikehughes post in this thread.

This is such a tense environment right now, and having them provide us with comic relief is great.

Our top picks are protected because they are in the top 15. We would only stand to lose our 2nd rounder.

That moron proved he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.

What spider said. I'm too lazy post the CBA again - last time I listed the paragraphs that are relevant even . And the last moron was writer for the Globe.

I caught the beast part but I didn't get the bonafide part, your partner was talking when you said it so that explains why I missed the first part of it.

when all is said and done, I'm pretty sure mikehughes could take AZ though.

Against his will? Like a rapist?

I put that one on a tee and was wondering if anyone would hit it. I didn't expect such a tape measure bomb though. It still hasn't landed yet.

It's not rape if one is willing.

[BerkeleyNat]

Against his will? Like a rapist?

I hope not. Everyone knows AZ is saving himself for that special night with Elijah Dukes.

From Jim Bowden: "We've made a very significant, concrete offer. He's our No. 1 priority."

From Scott Boras: "We've been working pretty well around the clock for a couple of days. We've had time to meet multiple times with multiple teams. But I've been through these before, and it could get done in a short period of time, and they could go well beyond the time frame of these meetings, too."

The Nationals are keeping the details of their offer very quiet, and I've been told by three team officials now that the rumors being floated on the Internet are almost uniformly wrong.

hrm....Sheinin says that 8/160 is incorrect.

Nationals Make Offer to Teixeira

but an Official offer HAS been made. but the numbers that Ladson quoted, Sheinin says they aren't right.

[MrMadison]

damn, sportsfan beat me to it.

[UMDNats]

shenin is such a buzzkill

[MrMadison]

in the meanwhile, ESPNNews is reporting the 8/160 as Official. 

[spidernat]

Well that's good news. I like that our offer is not being made public. That means we are not being played, at this time, by either party and that we may really be in the mix for acquiring Teixeira.

[KnorrForYourMoney]

in the meanwhile, ESPN News is reporting the 8/160 as Official.  and ESPNNews is pretty much unbiased cause they are just scores and facts, no opinion analysts anywhere there.

Unbiased, but not immune to inaccuracies.

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Wrong, but in which direction?

The mystery thickens....

exactly.
