DateQuestionAnswer
2010-06-07 18:30:00Todd Van Poppel was one player who tried to manipulate his way away from a team, saying he just wouldn't sign with the Braves. The Braves took Chipper Jones instead and have sent Van Poppel a bouquet of flowers every day since then. Pete Incaviglia made all kinds of demands of the Expos so he wouldn't have to sign there. They traded him, provoking a rules change.
(Steven Goldman from Langley, New Jersey)		Andrew Miller also tried, and the Tigers called his bluff. I'm ticked as Gary Brown to the Giants makes great sense, and I love this pick. 3.9 to first from the right side? SOLD. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-07-24 13:00:00Too bad Alex Gordon is the biggest bust in the history of the universe, eh?
(NHZ from Royals Review)		I thought that was Todd Van Poppel, but maybe that's my bitterness showing. (Christina Kahrl)
