I don't think so for the simple reason that the union is too strong, and that management has been turning its head on the issue.  The only reason they are putting on this display right now is because the story got out on the likes of McGuire, Sosa, Palmerio, and Bonds, and management is desprately trying to save face.  \n\nIt boils down to the simple fact that baseball is a business, and, as the ol' saying goes, "Chicks dig the longball."

He isn't on the disabled list. As a matter of fact, on Monday night he pitched a 4-hitter. in a 6-1 win over the Cardinals. \n\nThe put Rich Aurelia on the 15-DL for a groin pull, maybe that's what you heard?

Jun 18- Updating a continuing story, StLouis.Cardinals.MLB.com's Conor Nicholl reports St. Louis Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols (oblique) took grounders and short hops at first base before the team's game Sunday, June 18. He is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Monday, June 19, and will travel with the team on road trips for interleague play against the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. However, if he were to come off the DL during that span, he would not be used as a designated hitter, according to Pujols and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.\n\nJun 16- Pujols expressed optimism Friday about returning from the 15-day disabled list sooner than the St. Louis Cardinals had predicted. The Cards' first baseman is out with a strained side muscle but was on the field for drills at first base before Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He's eligible to come off the DL early next week. "I'm pretty excited," he said. "Real excited ...but I don't want to talk too quick until I get out there in the field."

Does Nolan Ryan count? Talk about the greatest arm when it comes to pitchers in the MLB history.

Milwaukee is going to have to get rid of Carlos Lee.\nI have seen that all over the place.\nhe is a free agent next year.  and (too bad) Milwaukee will not be able to pay him.  I did hear on a chicago talk show, he is the #1 free agant on the cubs list next year.

Assuming the A's are still in the hunt at the trading deadline, he's not going anywhere this year. The chances of resigning him are pretty slim, however. The team's philosophy is that you don't tie up pitchers for big-money long-term deals (ergo the Hudson and Mulder deals). They went against their own policy with Loiaza and, seeing how that's turned out so far, they're not likely to repeat the mistake. \nI think Barry's going to sign with a Southern California team this winter; it's his home and he's not a New York kind of guy. My bet would be the Dodgers or the Padres.

Rumors are starting to heat up about the Answer departing.  Names I've heard include Telfair, Wally Szczerbiak and draft picks.  Still no word yet but everything is under wraps, still.

Don't look now but Fox Sports just reported that it was 51.1 million.  Just to talk to him!  That is insane.  A previous answerer said the would need 20 million more to sign him.  Fat chance, Scott Boras is his agent and he's already started harping about how pitching is at a premium this year.  I bet he won't sign for less than 10 or 11 million a year and that he is going to want at least a 4 year contract.  That would bring his overall cost to at least 91 million for a 4 yr contract.  I know the Red Sox really want to plant a foot in the Japanese market but wow, that is some price to pay.  It should also be noted that if they don't sign him, they don't have to pay the 51 million and no other team gets to talk to him until the end of next season when he is a free agent.

Even though they will try, they are not going to get anything in return.  Prior is injury prone and no club is going to want to part with a power hitter (which the Cubs want in return) for a player that wont pitch more than 20-25 games a year.

absolutely not.\n\nThey need to build that new team around some players, and Willis and Cabrera are the perfect candidates.\n\nThey have been interested in the past, because they thought that team was not good enough to compete yet, but it is. They can really make a run in 2007-08, Division or Wild Card, and win the world series (they have the pitching to do well in the postseason)\n\nI think they are smart enough to realise how much Willis helps that team, on and off the field, 06 was a bit of an off year, but he will be back. \n\nThey have saved a lot of money this year to pay him ($30mill in for revenue sharing, $15 out in payroll) so they can afford to keep him around.\n\nThey can add some players to fill some voids, Catcher will not be one of them, centre field will be.

A healthy Gagne, another quality set-up man and for God's sake, quit with the interleague games!!!\n\nSeriously, it looks like Coletti has made another move to shore up the starting rotation, trading Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro to the Devil Rays for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. Brett Tomko went on the 15 day DL as well, so I think Ned's dealing days aren't over yet...
