    Not to seem ignorant or anything, but why Mumbai?

    I think dep is right on both accounts. I don’t have a clue how these persons minds work. Also, they hit targets where all the westerners are…2 luxury hotels, cafes etc. They came into the hotels with AK 47’s asking for the Americans and the Brits.

    Vito NYC: Jim, I have come to the conclusion that cole hamels would look awesome in yankee pinstripes…do you think a deal involving ian kennedy and melky cabrera along with a lesser prospect like coke, would be enought to pry him away from philly?

    SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:19 PM ET ) If Yankees fans are going to keep sending silly trades, I guess I’ll keep posting them. On this one, I’d say no chance in hell. Would the Yankees trade Joba Chamberlain for Jayson Werth, Kyle Kendrick and Clay Condrey? That would be a more equitable deal. Sheesh.

    chris(smithtown,ny) : Puzzling move signing Marte for the Yanks..and losing the compensation picks..your thoughts?

    SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:25 PM ET ) The Yankees will have plenty of comp picks anyway, in all likelihood. They like Marte as a lefty arm for their bullpen, and I’m not surprised their focus is on their 2009 club rather than draft picks for the future.

    jsm (dallas): Will Boston break down and eventually include Buchholz in a deal for a Texas catcher?

    SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:20 PM ET ) My gut feel is no. I don’t think the Red Sox are going to sell low on Buchholz, and as I wrote in my last column for Baseball America, I think he can still be a frontline starter. I think the most likely scenario for the Red Sox at catcher is that they’ll go with a stopgap solution if they don’t see a longer-term move they like.

    The police are still battling the terrorists. it was 8 separate attacks with AK 47’s and hand grenades. The hostage situation seems to be ongoing. Terrorists asked all patrons in a restaurant ( in a hotel) with british and American passports to follow him and took them up the 18th floor of the hotel. Yikes!

    Actually, my grandmother is a serious teetotaler. We don’t usually drink on Thanksgiving and if we do, it’s pretty discrete. But none of my aunts, uncles or cousins can tell us apart anyway! I have one uncle who knows the difference, but he only learned so that he could routinely call us by the incorrect name. He thinks it’s a laugh-riot.

    DAVIDSON, N.C. — By the third possession, Davidson’s Stephen Curry had figured it out. Loyola (Md.) was double-teaming him. Everywhere, on each possession, no matter what the scenario.

    So Curry decided to test the triangle-and-2 defense taken to the ultimate extreme. He went into the corner and two defenders followed him, setting up a 4-on-3 for his teammates.

    Curry decided to keep standing there, and his teammates kept scoring — for 40 minutes — in a 78-48 head-scratching win for the Wildcats (No. 25 on ESPN/USA Today, No. 24 AP) that will be remembered for some time.

    The nation’s leading scorer was held without a point and took only three shots. But the game was never in doubt because Davidson played the entire game on a virtual power play.

    Michael Salfino’s scout friend, likes Bobby Parnell in the bullpen.

    “I like Parnell better as a reliever, where he could dominate with his fastball and slider; both of which have outstanding movement,” says our scout. “He throws with a bit of effort and doesn’t change speeds real well, so the move [to the pen] would probably boost his peripheral numbers.”

    I agree. Parnell is best suited at the MLB level in the bullpen.

    The scout liked Tobi Stoner some.

    “I would rate the fastball/cutter/curveball as average pitches, with the slider being slightly below,” our scout says. “Stoner is athletic and has good arm action, but tends to rush through his delivery. He profiles as a long reliever for me.”

    Michael Salfino at SNY.tv and friends on Josh Thole:

    Our NL scout thinks he has a relatively modest big-league future. “Thole is an extreme contact hitter whose bat plane isn’t conducive to power. Defensively, he’s average: solid receiving skills and average arm strength. I see him more as a platoon catcher given his left-handed bat.”

    Thole’s performance record just doesn’t support the platoon player comment. He hit much better against lefties in a tiny sample in the AFL, but it was a fitting sequel to his performance at St. Lucie in 2008.

    Vs. L: .333.386/.432 - 81 AB

    Vs. R: .289/.380/.426 - 266 AB

    Manuel thinks that defensive assessment is a minority opinion, but agrees with the offensive assessment.

    “He’s got a decent swing with a good approach but is just not a guy scouts think will drive the ball consistently for power. Defensively, he’s a backup at best, fringe-average or below-average in most aspects.”

    The divergence in opinion about Thole’s defensive capability is very, very interesting. Manuel is drawing from a wider range of opinions, but the scout is the guy who saw Thole most recently.

    At SNY.tv Michael Salfino caught up with a scout and two Baseball America writers, editor John Manuel and Kary Booher for some Mets prospects chat.

    Regarding Daniel Murphy, Salfino and friends cover well trod ground regarding his hitting skills and power potential. Said Salfino’s scout:

    “Murphy has good bat speed, is short to the ball and judges the strike zone, which should allow him to hit for average. But I’m not convinced he is much more than a 15-20 homer hitter. I don’t think his bat is solid enough to play left field.”

    And then we get to the big question: what about Murphy’s defense at 2B?

    Scout first:

    “He is below average at second base with fringe-average range and stiff hands,” says our NL scout. “Third base is his best position.”

    Oh man. I saw Murphy play 3B nearly every day in HWB and it was not MLB level good. This makes me question whether this scout has ever seen Murphy play 3B. On the other hand, if he has, and still believes 3B is Murph’s best position, that’s a damning indictment of his play at 2B.

    BA joined the skepticism party on Murphy at 2B:

    Booher:

    “He showed some signs that he might be able to pull it off, but even his fall league manager said he was pretty raw over there. He just may not have enough range and agility.”

    Manuel:

    “The scouts and Minor League managers I’ve talked to A, believe he’ll hit, B, love his grinder mentality and C, doubt his ability to play second effectively in the Majors.”

    I want to emphasize this point: the Mets employed bad defensive 2B in 2008. The issue is not whether Murphy will be a gold glover - he won’t - but whether the sum total of his contributions, with bat and glove - will be bettter than what the Mets would otherwise expect to receive from the position.

    There is one decent defensive 2B in Argenis Reyes. However, his bat is just not MLB caliber.

    The two guys, Luis Castillo and Damien Easley, who saw the majority of time at the keystone in 2008 were both very bad defenders. Neither player had enough chances to qualify among The Hardball Times’ Revised Zone Rating leaderboard. However, Castillo (.751) was worse than EVERY SINGLE qualified 2B. Easley beat out three of the qualifiers, but his .795 is nothing to brag about. By the way, the worst 2B with enough chances to qualify, was … Orlando Hudson.

    How does a beer exchange work, BG? Everyone brings enough for everyone else and you end up with one bottle of each? Or one six-pack??

    Seriously. I got my good stuff, my girlfriend got hers, and a buddy of mine dropped his off. So I literally have like 40 some good beers in my fridge that I can only look at. They make the Bud Light next to them look like crap.

    But, living up here, I get to drive 20 minutes, which is much more enjoyable than the train.

    Athena:

    We’re doing it like this:

    Whatever you bring, you get back. If you bring 6, you get 6. If you bring 12, you get 12. So, everyone brings good beer, and then we all trade for other kinds. At least that’s the plan.

    Keep the ones you bought so it makes it look like everyone else brought swill, and you still look cool.

    That sounds like a lot of fun, BG. I know some women who do that with Christmas cookies. But beer sounds like a lot more fun!

    I hope it is; this is our first time trying it out.

    We’re expecting like 30 people at our place, so I have cleaning and grocery shopping to do come Friday, but since it’s my place, I’m getting DRUNK that night.

    I was really kind of hoping Omar might pull off a Thanksgiving miracle. You know, give me something to be truly thankful for. So far, no good.

    Wait. You’re getting drunk? It’s going to be a bit of an issue when everyone heads home and half the beer is missing. Or did you buy extra for drinking?

    Have a great Thanksgiving, Dep Honey!!!!

    It’s meant to be drinked/drank/drunk right then, but we have purchased a extra to tide people over if they show up long before the exchange starts.

    And besides, I’m not just the host, I’m an active participant. The twelve beers I’m getting should be enough to get me loaded. And if not, I’ll take some of my girlfriend’s, who will not ever drink the twelve she is providing (in one night).

    Okay, I’m clear now. You ARE going to get drunk! Have a wonderful time. Let us know how it goes!

    I sure will.

    And with that, I’m getting out of here. My boss is in Colorado, and won’t call in the 15 more minutes I’m supposed to be here.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Athena (and anyone else who might be lurking around)!

    And to you, Mr. Bananagrabber. Have a great Thanksgiving.
