Trade to Report
Outlaw sends:
-Newman's 2010 2nd round pick
and
-a claim on an Outlaw Star minor leaguer through 2011
-future considerations*
Walden sends:
-Rich Harden.
-future considerations*
*I'll be proposing a rule change at the winter meeting (just one this year, I swear). I'll propose to legalize the trade of minor league picks. I suspect that will pass. If I'm wrong and it doesn't pass, this trade stands as is and both of us are cool with it. If it does pass, Weiland's 2011 claim option will convert into a 1st round minor league pick in 2010.

Bill Simmons on Irrationality
Irrational Grudges (+4.5) over JULIUS JONES
When Matt Berry mentioned my "Fantasy Kryptonite" concept in his Week 5 column, I realized my Kryptonite is unquestionably Brandon Lloyd. He just keeps luring me back in. I think he could convince me to strip naked and let him take photos of me as I cried like Irene Cara in "Fame." I would do it for him. Brandon, you're my man. Anyway, I have a flip side to that one, the "Fantasy Grudge" guy, aka the guy you inexplicably dislike and continue to dismiss even when he's doing well. For me, it's Julius Jones. I found out two years ago that he smokes cigarettes and I just can't think rationally about him after that. He could rush for 200 yards a game and be sitting there on the waiver wire and I wouldn't go near him because I fear he'd pulled a Ricardo Mayorga on me. He might have quit smoking; I don't care. He's out.

It's tough to not have an irrational grudge on most Cubs. Any other specific players?
