      • It had a blue airhead in it, which sucked because you keep them refrigerated, and airheads are impossible to eat cold.

        • Airheads and Warheads were the shit when I was like 9-12 years old. The white Airhead was the closest feeling to equate to an orgasm prior to actually having one.

              • Get asked a lot: what would take to get Uggla. The Marlins want young players in deals, so Esmil Rogers would come up.
                There's no way the Rockies are trading Jhouyls Chacin. But they have outfield depth with Matt Miller, etc.
                That's the problem with Uggla, the position. But if he came to Rockies would likely be asked to play 2b, 3b and 1b.

                  • Esmil Rogers isn't great, but he would be fine as a complementary piece. He can't be the centerpiece to an Uggla trade though. He needs to be paired with someone of equal or greater value. Rogers had a nice season in AA last year, but he's almost 25 and he has some control issues.

                    Rogers' strikeouts are nice and he's got a somewhat inflated BABIP. Maybe he turns into a middle of the rotation starter or nice reliever if he harnesses the control. But he'd be a pretty underwhelming centerpiece.

                    For Cantu, hey, Rogers is a hell of a haul and I'd do that in a second, but I doubt the Rockies would go for that.

                    • Jayson Stark thinks Uggla is likely going to be moved.

                          • I'm surprised more AL teams arent looking to acquire Uggla.

                            Does Uggla become a FA after this season or next?

                            I know Cantu becomes a FA after this season and IMO only makes sense to move him but if Uggla has another year of team control than I would be more reluctant to move him.

                              I believe, not 100 percent though, that Ricky isn't a free agent until after the 2012 season. I may be wrong though.

                                Its pretty much what everyone thought the asking price would be other than no centerpiece. If they throw in a Brothers,Friedrich or even Morales as the centerpiece I would jump all over it

                                The position is the problem with Uggla-Every team heard about him crying when Baltimore wanted him to play 3B. If they pay for a guy they don't wanna hear that.

                                Uggla
                                Centerpiece-Rex Brothers or Christian Friedrich
                                ML Ready BP Arm-Esmil Rogers
                                OF Depth-(No to Miller)but Ryan Spilborghs would be ok

                                Cantu
                                ML Ready BP Arm-Esmil Rogers
