    I'm still waiting for my Braves to make a nice deal. I don't think we will since we have great chemistry right now...but you never know...especially since we have the best general manager in baseball. image

    Braves are interested in Cliff Floyd too I heard, also The Big Hurt, Thome, Travis Lee, and some other fools image.

    I'd like to have Frank Thomas!!! I've always been a Frank Thomas but he's been injury prone these past couple years, so I don't know. I think Travis Lee would be good, especially Jim Thome! Bring on Thome! image

    by the way, I thought Expos were getting Cliff Floyd along with Ryan Dumpster...er...Dempster? image

    There's some problems with the deal right now. Rules say that the Expos aren't aloud to increase their payroll while being run by MLB, so the Marlins will have to take some of Floyd and Dempster's salary, or there's talk the Expos might throw in Carl Pavano ($1.5M) and Graeme Lloyd ($3M+) to even out the salary. They filed a petition with Selig arguing that they're adding salary for a Playoff run, we'll see image.
