why haven't we signed dick duffy to a new deal?  has he already told us to eff off?

He's arbitration eligible after this season. Not a free agent until after next season. Rumor has it that KC is trying to negotiate an extension with Hos, who also is under club control through 2017, and Hos is probably a greater priority than Duff. Just depends on where KC wants to put its money and for how long.

hoz, cain, salvy, davis, herrera and next year healthy moose would yield a king's ransom.  esky, dyson, morales and volky will get you something useful.

duffy and ventura, i dunno, i'm not sure if the league trusts them enough to get fair value.

Here's the thing, I don't think u know what you're talking about

Burns probably means we'll look to move Dyson to save some money. Maybe not now, but after the season.

so we give a qualifying offer to Volky and maybe we can still move Morales after the deadline.

i still have faith.  maybe davis is getting mri'd for a trade and not because he's a totally broken shell of his former self.

Dyson costs (and will cost) basically zero money, so I don't think this is true

I guess they see more upside with Burns. I doubt they really liked Eibner that much since they kept him down in the minors until he was in his mid 40s

i'm sure he is, it's been fairly apparent all season, but until the trade deadline expires, i will maintain hope.

If Kennedy exits this ball game without having given up a homer, it should be treated like a no hitter

Why anyone wastes pitches throwing non-strikes to Alex is beyond me
