Gameday thread for Options Expiration Friday
That's right people, July options expire tomorrow and the Rangers play tonight, so all is right in the world. Since Adam isn't here, should I take this opportunity to discuss the wonderful world of leveraging through options? Considering how Adam feels about active trading strategies, probably not...
Oh, yeah, go Rangers!

Expiration Friday, and yet the lemmings are still running up the hill.
When do they hit the cliff edge? The candlesticks forecast three ominous patterns, I see a rough week coming.
How’s that VIX looking? Ha!

At least there are a couple of legit sectors, like computer security.
But, I actually would like to hear more about leveraging on options. Not sure I get what your hinting at… stocks, oil, other commodities?

An option...
is a leveraged position. I’ve gotten a hardon for options lately.

So, you mean stock options or options in the commodity fields or both?

per EG
Rangers likely to call IF next week.
Washington indicated he’d like to rest 2B Ian Kinsler more in the second half and would like to have an extra infielder join the club within the next week.
Arias or German are the likely candidates.

I think my final offer for Halladay...
would only include 1 of Smoak or Perez…take it or leave it
something like:
Smoak or Perez
Beavan
Font
Vallejo or Lemon
Of course we start lower than that and they start higher, but my guess is that it ends up there. I don’t think anyone will deal a prospect better than Smoak, but I just don’t see the Blue Jays agreeing to a trade that doesn’t invole 1 of Holland, Feliz, Smoak, or Perez….
Here is a though for you…….JD knows that this team needs to make an impact in these next 2 years for him to keep his job…..does that make perez more tradeable in his view?
by death of the cool on Jul 17, 2009 7:00 PM CDT reply actions
Perez has little trade value
JD knows that this team needs to make an impact in these next 2 years for him to keep his job
Disagree 100%.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year

If say this things gets off-track a bit this year, and we finish around .500 or just a few games above (well out of first place) and say next year we are just around .500 again…
JD keeps his job?

better question would be
Does Wash keep his?
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland - 2009 Rangers Minor League POY
Not enough, IMO.
I think they’ll want Smoak plus one of Holland or Feliz, plus others. The asking price will be an absolute hilarity.

I'd love to know what some of the first offers are on these big trades that go down
The Teixeira convo probably went like this:
Schuerholz: what will Teixeira cost?
JD: we want Hanson, Heyward, Andrus, Saltalamacchia, and Feliz
Schuerholz: I’ll give you Peter Moylan, Scott Thorman, and Brandon Jones.

"I don’t think anyone will deal a prospect better than Smoak"
Considering Baseball America named him the 4th best prospect in the game at midseason, yeah, that’d be kinda hard to do.
"andruw jones hits 3 HRS at LA of Anaheim last nite after hitting zero at LA of LA as Dodger in all of '08. thats nuts." SI_JonHeyman
My offer:
Take Feliz, Perez, Smoak and Holland off the table. TOR gets to choose 4(maybe 5) of all the rest of our farm, and include Harrison/Hunter and Salty/Tea in the choices pool. If they find a better deal, fine; if they can’t, call us. Either way, I’m fine keeping the young studs and playing the hand we have.
Never argue with a fool. Onlookers might not be able to tell you apart.
I might agree with you on that
I like Halladay, a lot, but I would be highly disappointed to see us trade any of those four for him or anyone else.

Padilla can't stand to be squeezed. Probably the most predictable outcome I can think of.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

So, has anyone seen the Erin Andrews peephole video?
if not, you should do a search for it. Creepy how some dude got it, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
I've seen it and it somewhat looks like her, but I'm relatively sure that's not how peepholes work, so I don't buy it overall.

Supposedly, here is a statement from EA's lawyers. Maybe it is her...
LOS ANGELES, July 17 /PRNewswire/ — With respect to recent Internet postings of Erin Andrews, she has authorized her attorney, Marshall B. Grossman of Bingham McCutchen LLP, to issue the following statement:
“While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin’s privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities.”
