Starting today, The Dugout will be updating seven days a week rather than five. That's 1.4 times the fun, 1.4 times the athletes irresponsibly slandered!
Today's Dugout, after the jump, doesn't really ask for much preface. I'd just like to say that with
Johan Santana gone, the
Twins will have to fill the gap in their rotation. Time to let Sidney Ponson out of his cage!
The Dugout
 |
JohanSolo: Okay, looks like I'm officially on the market. Begin.
|
 |
WinBenSteinsBrenner: I will offer you young players that may or may not end up being good, but my young players who have a better chance of being good are OFF LIMITS
|
 |
twins: no
|
 |
TheoElDio: I will offer you Coco Crisp.
|
 |
twins: no
|
 |
TheoElDio: Fine. Coco Crisp, a bowl, a spoon, a jug of milk, and several banana slices.
|
 |
twins: no
|
 |
JohanSolo: Guys, you're going to have to step it up. Not to brag, but I'm the most high-value pitcher in the game. You're going to have to give up a substantial amount for the Twins to hand me over.
|
 |
TheoElDio: you got it
a 300,000 seat stadium with a retractable dome and the ability to dismount and slowly hover around like you can do in starcraft
|
 |
twins: that would be useful for when we ditch this god forsaken state for st. petersburg
but no
|
 |
WinBenSteinsBrenner: the code you can type in to instantly get more money in simcity
|
 |
twins: no that will summon the godzilla
|
 |
TheoElDio: a series of steps made out of red blocks and a koopa troopa shell you can repeatedly kick against it to earn an infinite supply of coins and 1-ups
|
 |
JohanSolo: You people clearly aren't taking this seriously. Maybe I'll just stay in Minnesota.
|

You say "Tampa Bay Rays"... I say "Tampa Bay Handshakes." Someone start the petition, and I'll sign it.

Sadly i got and enjoyed the video game references. I would probably go with the starcraft stadium.

The Royals better hope Alex Gordon gets the game Monopoly this Christmas if they expect to find $346 piss stained ones and fives. Even then they will still try to trade Billy Butler, Ryan Shealy, Mark Teahen and Luke Hochevar just so people don't start to take them seriously in 5 years.

Did this really happen? Please somebody tell me this really happened!
I guess in the end Johan couldn't get a much better deal than Phil Nevin.

I say dont trade Hughes, at all puruse the O’s Beddard or wait til next years free agent class. Where if Santana doesn’t sign an extended offer he and Sabathia Beddard and about 10 other A-class pitchers become free agents.
If Santana wants to become a Yankee,”And thus play for the best Yankee team possibily” (One that has Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain)
he’ll refuse any trade to the Sox or any other team and wait til free agency. This way the Yankees can take off Hughes off the bargaining table
There is something to be said about comradary and “The Big Three” as they’re refered to as of now of Kennedy, Hughes and Joba even though Joba is a bit of a lone wolf renegade (All came up together!)
Ask Jeter, Posada, Pettite and Mariano!
I’d only trade Cano with Cabrera and Clipard and a few others minor league B+ type pitchers and or Austin Jackson or Tabata with maybee Wang maybee and try to entice Minnesota by eating the majority of contract! … If this isn’t good enough than “F” them
