NyM410, who's going to be the Mets closer? Fantasy help needed

Haha I own both Axford and K-Rod. So that's fun. I'll need to make a move no matter what.

KRod has a $17.5 million player option for next year. Fuck that noise. Dumb move by the Brewers. Axford is good enough. 7/13/2011 12:35:01 AM |

i wonder how much cash the mets gave them. i think if i were going to take him on at 17.5, i'd need about 10 of that paid by them. but maybe they plan on leaving axford as the closer so they won't have to pay it at all 7/13/2011 12:51:48 AM |

Mets sent around $5 Million.
I also think his 17.5 Million contract only becomes valid if he has 21 more saves this year. Can't remember if that is right though. 7/13/2011 7:53:10 AM |

Heard his option is about number of games finished (not just saved). Axford only knocked out of the closer's role if he gets injured 7/13/2011 9:29:54 AM |

not sure if any of you saw this the other day, but this is from 1st and 10 on ESPN where they're discussing jim thome's hall of fame credentials. the amount of stupid in this conversation between dan graziano and skip bayless is mind-boggling. it's unbelievable that these men are employed by a reputable sports network (actually it's not since it's ESPN after all) because they are complete and utter morons . someone please embed.

so I just wrote this on twitter:

Dan Graziano just replied with this

I've tweeted at him twice in the last 2 days about how much of an idiot he is, and he didn't respond to mine. well done, sir.
i told him i felt stupid after hearing him and skip bayless speak and that his argument about keeping thome out of the hall is literally one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. i also asked how he has a HoF vote.

me:

him:
Quote : | "@drod900 I have a Hall of Fame vote and take it very seriously. I mean what I say on TV and stand by it. You hide behind Twitter. " |
me:
Quote : | "@DanGrazianoESPN Relax tough guy. Give me a vote and a tv show and I'll at least make rational arguments. Leave the shock value crap to Skip" |
him:
Quote : | "@drod900 You're a punk who threatened me in public and never imagined I'd reply. Who tells you how to do your job?" |
me:
Quote : | "@DanGrazianoESPN I'm glad you replied, maybe you'll tone down the stupid now. And I dont work in TV where your opinions are open to scrutiny" |
I'm trying to avoid all the name-calling shit that he keeps reverting back to. I know absolutely nothing about this guy, his twitter feed says his a NFC East blogger, but after a quick google search I guess he is some sort of baseball analyst. I, too, wonder how he got a HOF vote.
