Well, as I said, I think the importance of the draft in baseball has grown significantly in the last ten or fifteen years. Scouting has gotten better, and college baseball has become more of a feeder system. There are also a lot more big summer leagues where talent can be evaluated. You're seeing a lot fewer high school players getting drafted, and those are the players who are hardest to judge. As I also said, I don't know why the Braves have been able to keep reloading year after year without much in the way of free agent acquisitions, but that's just one team. The A's always have good prospects because they've chosen to spend all their money on their minor league system. While that might keep them competitive for a while, they're not going to win anything. > >> In >>addition, when you're in contention every year, you're in a position >>where you're pretty much forced to trade off some of your young talent >>in mid-season to acquire veterans who will be more useful in a pennant >>race. > >No, you're not.

And most of those are just in the last couple of years or so. Any stars in that group? You've brought up a bunch of guys who are mostly fringe players and who would have never started for the Yankees. And how does Pavano fit in there? He was originallysigned by the Red Sox.

Date: 14 Oct 2005 07:11:16 -0700 Seth, if logic fails then logic fails. If reading fails then reading fails. All I can do is repeat and repeat. The man's argument is founded on a general ideological context that other people, if not yourself, may be interested in. It is not accidental that he invokes "Anglo-Saxon" law--nevertheless, that context is irrelevant inasmuch as his prime example did break the law, and was not merely the poor victim of prosecutors in jackboots. again, I wrote: "[Robert's rhetoric of liberties fails] at least when used to defend the actions of anti-Zionist stalwarts such as Lynne Stewart's client, who used, prosectors alleged, Ms. Stewart not only for legal representation but for operational assistance in hooking up with his cell network on the far side of the prison walls." I clearly, no? pegged my general comments to a specific failure in Robert's attempt to justify his rhetoric with an example, the so-called suppression of Ms. Stewart. It was there. You didn't read it, or if you read it, you had no recollection of the case, or simply didn't "see" it. This is not my fault as a writer. The fact that Lynne Stewart was not suppressed for activism WAS in my original post AND IT IS A FACT. Fact, Seth, well-known. Not only were you condescending, therefore, in your post, but you revealed, again, that you do NOT always read the posts (at least this one) or that you do NOT understand the context of posts you respond to (at least not this particular one.) Again, my original post was very explicit as to what prosecutors alleged. You not only missed this the first time, but, it would seem, on re-reading. So here's what's happened to date: you don't read an original post or don't fully get its point, and offer a condescending note about "ad hominem" and reading Roberts' argument. I point out that, no, I gave a concrete example disproving Roberts' contentions by disqualifying his central example. You re-read the original post, and, fail to see my concrete example a SECOND time. Unfortunately, you have, my original point, been misled by Roberts column and your commitment to civil liberties into accepting Roberts malarky that George Bush somehow denied Ms. Stewart a defense. Again. the prosecutors did not attempt to trap her or "bust" her for activism or strip away her rights. They accused her of breaking laws against aiding and abetting criminal activities--being a defense attorney doesn't, for example, permit an attorney to make drug buys for a client who is in jail. And, follow-up, fyi, this is no longer alleged. Ms. Stewart was tried and convicted in a court with all the rights defendants have. The Fox News report rose to the surface--if you want we can search google together and come up with a more "politically-correct" source. But, you know, facts are facts. As for the 2/71 run, get higher. ====== N=2EY.

Terror Trial =B7 WTC Bomb Leader Making Himself Sick =B7 Radical Lawyer to Go on Trial NEW YORK - A veteran civil rights lawyer was convicted Thursday of crossing the line by smuggling messages of violence from one of her jailed clients - a radical Egyptian sheik - to his terrorist disciples on the outside. The jury deliberated 13 days over the past month before convicting Lynne Stewart (search), 65, a firebrand, left-wing activist known for representing radicals and revolutionaries in her 30 years on the New York legal scene. The trial, which began last June, focused attention on the line between zealous advocacy and criminal behavior by a lawyer. Some defense lawyers saw the case as a government warning to attorneys to tread carefully in terrorism cases. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 10:22:44 -0400 From: Gary & Ellie Reply-To: gary.and.ellie@gmail.com Subject: Re: Can somebody hook a brother up?
