October 6, 200421 yr Drew and Ordonez could both potentially come at a discounted price due to injuries (Ordonez really just this year, but considering it was his most recent season...). But for anyone to say they'd rather have Drew over Ordonez and Beltran is out of their mind. Those are two established stars that consistently produce. While I'd rather have Beltran over both of them, I see Magglio being our most realistic option.
October 6, 200421 yr It'll be nice to have him just for the fact that he kills us everytime he steps up to the plate against us. But he isn't coming. Our budget won't be much bigger next year and if they are going to make room for somebody its going to have to be a blockbuster star. 583558[/snapback] Who qualifies as a blockbuster star? 583962[/snapback] Guys who bring fill seats on name recognition alone. People we can't afford on our budget. :confused

I'll take Drew over Magglio because he has more talent. By the end of their next contracts, I'd bet Drew has better numbers than Magglio.

October 6, 200421 yr Maybe we can sign both Drew and Beltre Then ship them to Anaheim for The Impaler.

Not many people can hit .300/30/100 year in and year out...
October 6, 200421 yr ichiro, beltran (maybe not yet, definitely has the talent), sheffield, soriano, pudge, ortiz, beltre, rolen, thome i think all of those can have an argument made for themselves

The others are questionable.
October 6, 200421 yr Shouldn't you be keeping this to OFers? I know he mentioned AROD but still..... 584579[/snapback] ichiro, sheff, beltran, edmonds (argument can be made)

Drew had a better year than Cabrera.
October 7, 200421 yr the best player in college history HAHA how many times do u see a guy rated the best in college history and be a flop look no further than the NFL draft, college is nothing like the pros dont rate somebody as the best player in basaeball history cause of his college stats besides in college they use Aluminum bats Drew cant hold a candle to pujols or beltran

Your flop statement is idiotic, because Drew isn't a "flop." In case you forgot to watch baseball this year, Drew/Estrada carried the Braves 3/4ths of the season and kicked our ass all year long. If he's a flop, I don't know what you'd call every one of our every day players besides Cabrera. Hell, Cabrera isn't close to the player Drew is, yet.
