Fuck I know I'm gonna get screwed with Liriano - what's the cut-off date tomorrow to decide??

[Lucky]

Just go to the end of the day, I'd guess. Midnight EST? We could push it to PST but would that help anyone really?

I'll add my list now. That will give us 8 of the 10 with GoVols and Dragon missing. If anyone wants to change your list from now until whatever we decide the cutoff is just post it here or in the Transactions thread.

[GoVols]

1. Grady Sizemore
2. Joe Crede
3. Mike Mussina

Those are really the only 3 I want to keep, so if I can do that I really would like to, but if not...

4. Aaron Harang
5. Paul LoDuca

[Lucky]

Vols, bear in mind that after MKid and GM finish their minidraft we'll then have a free agent period. So you'll be free to drop LoDuca and Harang and pick up the "free agents" out there. It would just be a matter of you realizing who's free and never going over 5 spots. And in keeping with waiver priorities.

I suppose you could just leave those two spots empty if you want. Then add to them after the mini-draft. If you didn't find 2 you liked between now and the draft I guess you could still leave those two spots blank. But as best I figure you'd just get 2 draft picks tagged onto the end of the draft. Noone's brought up a scenario like that though and it doesn't seem to make sense for you to go with that.

[dragonmak]

Damn - my 5th keeper is whats been preventing me from posting earlier. It was between 3 people, so here goes nothing.

1 - J. Damon (CF)
2 - H. Matsui (LF/CF)
3 - J. Thome (1B)
4 - G. Atkins (3B)
5 - J. Suppan (SP)

[Sparty]

Pun, how can you keep Konerko when he's on the Top 55 list?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Abuse of Power, that's how.

[Pun]

I didn't think he was on the 55. I will look over that when I get to my hotel.

EDIT - OK, I see what I did. When I looked at my roster that Lucky posted, he didn't italicize Konerko, so I thought he was still available. I changed it.

[dragonmak]

Ummm - minor minor note

I'm pretty sure Damon still plays for the Yanks (I'm hoping I haven't missed something i was supposed to catch)

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Fixed.

[Pun]

D'OH!

[Army Dice Clay]

I'm cool with the keepers I have up already.

[Jack Quinn]

ok now we need a list of all available free agents. C'mon Lucky, get to work on that! ;D

I really don't see the need for me to make any moves unless something awesome came along

[Lucky]

Yeah well not everyone has the keeper list touched by God.

I'm actually kind of willing to make the free agent list. Because in the end, I'll have to do it anyway for the draft. Problem is I really don't want to have to update the thing. That will be a major league pain in the ass. But I guess it all depends on how many free agent moves will be made through the season. If there aren't many then its not a big deal. If there's even one a week its a real hassle.

I'd guess I'll break and have a list by the end of the day.

[Sparty]

Mine was, Lucky.

[Lucky]

Yours IS pretty good. Zito, Webb, and Holliday are a pretty solid trio. I could pick at Zumaya and McCann but I can't really criticize them.

Actually, presuming Zumaya's Detroit's closer next year I'll toss him in in with that first three.

[Pun]

I was actually looking to grab Zumaya if no one else had nabbed him. Damn you, Gimmick!

I'll trade you mod powers for him.....

[DevSop]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Twins standout left-hander Francisco Liriano has been scheduled for surgery on his ailing elbow that will most certainly keep him from pitching in 2007.

Liriano will undergo Tommy John surgery Monday in California with Dr. Lewis Yocum performing and Twins physician Dr. John Steubs assisting, the team said Friday.

The Tommy John procedure, which is a replacement of the ulnar collateral ligament, is named after the former Yankees pitcher. Recovery typically takes at least a year.

Liriano had an outstanding rookie season, going 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA, but pitched only six innings over the final two months because of pain in his left elbow. With veteran Brad Radke expected to retire, it's a big blow to Minnesota's rotation for next year.
