MLB Free Agency and Trade Rumors: Grading the 50 Biggest Movers of Last WinterSeptember 12, 2011
MLB Free Agency and Trade Rumors: Grading the 50 Biggest Movers of Last Winter
Adrian Gonzalez has but 25 home runs for the Boston Red Sox this season, but he has lived up to or exceeded their expectations in every other way. He has been worth every bit of the seven-year, $154-million contract to which they signed him in April, even after accounting for the talent they had to give up in trade to get him from the San Diego Padres.
Carl Crawford, on the other hand, seems to have taken Theo Epstein to the cleaners in wringing a seven-year deal of his own (worth $142 million) from the Red Sox GM on the free agent market. So it goes in the risky world of big-name baseball transactions. If you succeed more than half the time, you can make it in this game for a long time.
With the offseason fast approaching, and a new crop of free agents and trade targets bracing for big moves, here are our grades for each of last winter's 50 biggest movers.
50. Ryan Theriot
Just three seasons removed from being worth 3.6 wins and getting on base 39 percent of the time for the Chicago Cubs, Theriot could be headed for the scrap heap this winter. After the Dodgers dealt him to the St. Louis Cardinals in December, Tony La Russa announced Theriot would be his starting shortstop and bat near the top of the order.
That didn't last long. Theriot's bat (.653 OPS) sunk him to the eighth spot by mid-season, and his glove (about 10 runs worse than average at shortstop) forced the team to acquire Rafael Furcal in a last-ditch effort to stay in the race. Rather than pay what figures to be a $4-million or higher price to keep Theriot, St. Louis figures to non-tender him at year's end.
Grade: D-minus
49. Kerry Wood
This was a sentimental signing, with the Chicago Cubs bringing back Wood for roughly a third of what he could have gotten elsewhere. It hasn't been the happiest of homecomings, but Wood has continued to strike people out and cut down on the exorbitant walk totals he rang up last season. For $1.5 million on a one-year deal, almost anyone is a bargain, and Wood has helped the Cubs deal with a losing season a little bit more easily.
Grade: C
48. Grant Balfour
Multi-year contracts for relief pitchers are generally a bad idea, but Balfour is at least a steady and projectable hurler. He signed for a steep figure, getting $8.1 million guaranteed through 2012, but he has posted a 2.30 ERA in roughly 55 innings. The A's knew he would be a good fit for their park, and indeed, he remains an extreme fly-ball pitcher in an extreme pitcher's park.
Grade: C-plus
47. Willie Bloomquist
Signed for less than $1 million this winter, Bloomquist got off to a hot start, and injuries have kept him from having to give up much playing time all year. He plays all over the diamond, hits rarely but gets on base occasionally, and might even be back on a $1.1-million mutual option in 2012.
If it feels ridiculous that a sure-fire playoff team would not be headed there without the 0.2 wins contributed by Willie Bloomquist, that's because it is. The Wild Card stinks.
Grade: C
46. Frank Francisco
Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos is a genius and all, but sometimes he tries to get too fancy. That's the only explanation for the trade that brought Francisco from Texas for Mike Napoli, right after Anthopoulos had stolen Napoli from the Angels in the crazy-great Vernon Wells deal. Sure enough, Napoli's been terrific this season, and Francisco has been a middling reliever.
Those who remember the whispers in July that the Jays were pursuing Chris Iannetta should also remember thinking, "Huh?"
Grade: D
45. Scott Downs
Downs is a heck of a left-handed asset out of the bullpen. He almost takes fly balls out of the equation, and he avoids walking people. His 1.37 season ERA has as much to do with great luck on batted balls in play as with any particular skill, but Downs has probably been a fair value in year one of a three-year, $15-million deal. It's those other two years that worry you.
Grade: B
44. Jon Garland
They don't call him Jon "Volume over Virtue" Garland for nothing, and if they don't call him that at all, they should. Garland had pitched over 190 innings in each of the last nine seasons before signing with the Dodgers this winter, never throwing all that impressively but never flailing and racking up value by simply taking the ball a lot.
This year, that has not panned out. His nine starts netted 54 innings and precious little about which to be happy. His $8-million option for 2012 looked pretty for him. Now it looks like a missed opportunity.
Grade: F
43. Phil Humber
The Minnesota Twins dealt for Humber when they traded Johan Santana. Dissatisfied with what they found, they let him go to Kansas City, who let him go to Oakland last winter after one season. Oakland waived him about six weeks later, at which point the White Sox picked him up for purposes of depth. Eight months later, he has made 22 starts and posted a 3.55 FIP for them. Sox pitching coach Don Cooper is one of baseball's underrated studs.
Grade: A-minus
42. Armando Galarraga
Maybe the baseball gods messed with Jim Joyce last June to give us all a chance to see real sportsmanship in action, or to appreciate a humble hurler and a great umpire with a big heart. Maybe they did it because they didn't want Armando freakin' Galarraga to throw a perfect game.
Other than that one night, for which he remains semi-famous, Galarraga just isn't very good. His career FIP is 5.34, and after the Tigers traded him to the D'Backs in January, he lasted just eight starts (in the NL West!) before collapsing in on himself like a dying star.
Grade: F
41. Jason Giambi
Years after Bonds and Clemens and Palmeiro fell from grace, and in the season that saw Manny Ramirez's forced retirement within a month of Opening Day, Giambi keeps right on going as the Steroid Guy Who Admitted It And Lived. He's making an unimpressive $1 million for his work, but it's been fine work. He has 12 homers and a .979 OPS in 134 plate appearances.
Grade: B
40. Brian Fuentes
If Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford are vulnerable to a given baseball axiom, so are Grant Balfour and Brian Fuentes. You succeed once in the free-agent market, you fail once. For relief pitchers, you're probably lucky if you do that well. Fuentes has burned out even as Balfour has thrived, and it's Fuentes to whom the A's owe $5 million in 2012.
Grade: D-minus
39. Jerry Hairston
Sometimes a GM on a losing team will sign a player just to have a veteran presence until the trade deadline, and to see what he can get for said veteran around the trade deadline. That's exactly what Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo seems to have been thinking when he ponied up $2 million for Hairston.
With Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa both in need of tutoring up the middle, Hairston was a positive impact guy for the Nats, and now, he's a semi-regular on a team ticketed for the playoffs. He's not all that good, but when has that ever stopped a Hairston man?
Grade: C-plus
38. Brandon Webb
You make choices and you accept consequences. The Rangers gambled $3 million on Webb getting healthy and pitching for them in the big leagues this year. Photo Day was as close as he got. No great loss.
Grade: C-minus
37. Edgar Renteria
I can't decide whether it's quaint, romantic or just frustrating that the last two World Series MVP awards have gone to men who could barely play the game anymore, and who immediately moved on without fanfare to other teams. One way or another, it's true, and Renteria's arrival in Cincinnati was as underwhelming as was his departure from San Francisco.
He's still an acceptable but not special defender, and although the playoffs are a special time for Edgar, the rest of the year his bat continues to fade into oblivion. The Reds will not miss him after this year, although it's not as though they have a better idea right now at shortstop.
Grade: C-minus
36. Aaron Harang
Just how much does PETCO Park help a pitcher? Well, if he happens to be an extreme fly-ball guy like Harang, it can restore him to his peak level of effectiveness even five years after that time has passed. Harang posted ERAs of 3.76 and 3.73 in 2006 and 2007. His next three years were terrible. In San Diego in 2011, he's back down to 3.74, and has a 13-5 record.
Grade: B
35. Ryan Vogelsong
Vogelsong's career ERA has dropped over a full run in 2011, partially because 2011 now represents some 30 percent of his career playing time. His 2.62 ERA on a minor-league contract is pretty easily the best value anyone has gotten out of a winter acquisition all season, though giving Brian Sabean credit for it is a bit like patting the back of a lottery winner for their scratching skills.
Grade: A
34. Matt Guerrier
The amount of money invested in relief pitchers this winter made savvy fans put palm to forehead. Guerrier, though, is another exemplar of players earning their keep out of the bullpen despite being overpaid. Never mind his 3.59 ERA: He's been missing more bats and has kept the ball in the park better this year.
Grade: B-minus
33. Jesse Crain
Crain has a good slider, but after signing for big money, most pitching coaches might have counseled that he throw it less. After all, no pitcher in baseball relied so heavily on his slider last season as Crain, and some guys (Carlos Marmol comes to mind) definitely have better ones.
No Don Cooper. Under Cooper's tutelage, Crain has thrown the slider even more, fully half the time this year. That, along with the development of a change-up he can use to be less susceptible against lefty swingers, has helped Crain strike out over a batter per inning for the first time in his career. His 2.24 ERA is a bit suspicious for an extreme fly-ball pitcher at U.S. Cellular Field, but even so, Crain has been everything for which the White Sox could have hoped this year.
Grade: B-plus
32. Cameron Maybin
Dear Major League front offices,
You have SO MANY strengths, that, one thing you might want to work on, is not giving up meaningful assets (money, talent) to acquire middle relievers.
Case in point: Larry, do you remember when you traded Cameron Maybin (a fast, gifted defender at a premium position, with some offensive upside to boot) for a couple relief pitchers whose names most people already forget? That was SO NICE of you, but remember, you're trying to help YOURSELF win, not do favors for other GMs.
I really look forward to getting your feedback on this, and if you guys feel differently, please do not get behind the wheel.
Everyone Who Can Do Your Job Better
P.S. Jed Hoyer, you're good.
Grade: A
31. Kyle Farnsworth
- They can go from very good to very bad simply because of random variation, as Farnsworth did on an alternating basis from 2001-06.
- They can go from very bad to very good very easily, so picking up a guy on a one-year deal does not mean you will not find gold in your sifter.
Farnsworth perfectly embodies the best reasons not to tie oneself to relievers for the long term:
Farnsworth has accomplished that transition by trading in some strikeouts for the ability to throw strikes, and by adding a cutter that makes it really hard to square him up. He makes just $2.6 million this season, with a very affordable club option Yet advanced metrics tell us Farnsworth is a top-25 reliever in all of baseball.
Grade: B-plus
30. Melky Cabrera
Tools are fickle baseball bedfellows. In the Royals outfield this season, though, there is some sort of tent revival going on for toolsy guys who never panned out.
According to the FanGraphs calculation of WAR, Alex Gordon, Jeff Francoeur and Cabrera form the fifth-most formidable outfield in baseball this season. No sense in repeating, because this is a written piece, but please re-read that and come back.
Yep. It's true. And Cabrera alone has been worth more than three wins, a better figure than more heralded Adam Jones, Drew Stubbs and Austin Jackson. This is the guy the Yankees waited four years for.
Grade: A
29. Jeff Francoeur
[See previous slide]
Only Francoeur plays right field, and is therefore slightly less valuable.
Grade: A-minus
28. Bobby Jenks
Eesh. Have I mentioned, yet, that signing relief pitchers for more than one year at a time for mid-seven-figure salaries is a bad idea? To that admonition, let me add this one: Signing fat guys 30 years or older to multi-year deals is a bad idea. And this one: Signing stupid people to multi-year deals is a bad idea.
When the Red Sox signed Bobby Jenks, they hit an ugly (no pun intended) trifecta.
Grade: F
27. Juan Uribe
Signing Uribe for three years and $21 million might have been a bit rich, but the Dodgers got one of baseball's underrated players for that investment. Uribe can field every infield position smoothly. He hits for power, though not for average. He doesn't draw walks or run well, but he does some things very well and people tend not to value his skill set they way they should. He flopped in 2011; Los Angeles gets two more turns with him.
Grade: C-plus
26. Joaquin Benoit
I promise, I am not dwelling on this relief pitching thing. It was the league that dwelt on them all winter, doling out eight-figure deals spread over two and three years. Benoit got that ball rolling with a very fast deal with Detroit, and you know what? He hasn't been half bad. Maybe the Tigers knew something. Maybe they got lucky.
Grade: B
25. Rafael Soriano
If the Yankees win the World Series, it has to go down as the most remarkable recovery from near-offseason implosion in big-league history.
On top of the flinty negotiations with Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera; along with the never-ending off-field distraction of Alex Rodriguez; there was a reverse palace coup of sorts in which GM Brian Cashman's superiors (okay, let's search for a different term) overrode him and committed $35 million to Rafael Soriano.
Actually, if the Yanks win, we'll remember it largely as a recovery from signing Soriano.
Grade: F
24. Adam LaRoche
After years adrift, LaRoche finally got a multi-year commitment to play in Washington, and he likely would have come around and hit fine if it had not been for the injury that shelved him for the year. Mike Morse seems to be headed back to the outfield to accommodate LaRoche in 2012, so it would be premature to pan this deal. LaRoche is a steady, if forever unspectacular, workman at first base.
Grade: C-minus
23. J.J. Putz
Betting on a reliever should never involve a question about his effectiveness. If you're going to jump off that cliff and sift through the abyss for a bullpen arm to whom to give $10 million, grab a guy who will be either good or hurt.
That sums up Putz in a nutshell. He should easily be worth what Kevin Towers committed to him, and to top it off, the Diamondbacks have a club option for 2013 on Putz.
Grade: A
22. Brett Lawrie
Half of a fairly quirky deal made in December, Lawrie has delivered perhaps even faster than the Blue Jays expected. He will not be a third baseman for long, but he should hit for as long as he plays, and he should play for a long time. Toronto is building an offensive nightmare for the rest of the American League.
Grade: A
21. Shaun Marcum
True win-win trades are rare. It's possible only when the dealers have utterly divergent objectives. In this case, the Brewers—having made up their minds to go for broke in 2011—dealt for a pitcher who would make that run a realistic goal. The Blue Jays, knowing 2011 would be another year of mediocrity, sought an asset who could brighten their future. Both sides got what they wanted.
Grade: A-minus
20. Tsuyoshi Nishioka
Solid defensive middle infielders do not need to do that much else in order to have value. Throw out this season. The transition involved in coming to the United States is singularly difficult. A serious injury helped derail Nishioka's season.
He fields very well, whatever the numbers say. He will eventually get on base enough to be a solid piece for the Twins, who essentially spent $15 million to have him for three years. It's a bad situation right now, but it will get better.
Grade: D-plus
19. Hideki Matsui
Hideki Matsui has become one of the most boring players in baseball. He hits a little, draws a few walks and hits for ever-dissipating power. At the reasonable price Oakland paid ($4.25 million), it's not a bad idea to bring in a guy like Matsui. It also does not make much difference for your team. Oakland might have done better to save that money, combine it with all the cash they threw at relief pitchers and get more of an impact player.
Grade: C
18. Russell Martin
The fact that the Red Sox and Yankees were the only serious bidders for Martin's services this winter suggest one good reason they win all the time: They are smarter and richer than everyone else.
Martin is an underrated player, a catcher who can hit for occasional power and whose OPS has been 17 percent better than average since the All-Star break. The Yankees did really, really well to acquire him.
On a tangent here: Martin's face is just THE classic Yankee face, isn't it? He looks like a composite of Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and Yogi Berra, and that's cool.
Grade: A
17. Derrek Lee
16. Vernon Wells
The worst trade in baseball history saddled the Angels with Wells for a preposterous sum over four years. At least, though, one might have assumed Wells would be a league-average corner outfielder with thump in his bat.
Grade: F
15. Carlos Pena
The Cubs didn't expect a .900 OPS from Carlos Pena, and they haven't gotten one. But they have gotten exactly what they DID expect. Pena has a good shot at 30 homers and 80 RBI, has fielded first base as well as all but four or five others in the game, and is a clubhouse presence non pareil. He is the perfect baseball person, in terms of comportment and attitude, in terms of clubhouse chemistry, and he was well worth what the Cubs paid for him.
Grade: B-plus
14. Mike Napoli
If the Rangers win the World Series, will someone please give Jon Daniels a belt buckle or a bull's skull or whatever Texans prize most? He is a genius, maybe the best GM in baseball, definitely in the top two. And if it's true that to be the best, you have to beat the best, Daniels might be the Alpha dog, because he took Alex Anthopoulos for a RIDE in this trade. To say Napoli has enjoyed hitting in Texas is like saying Billy Beane has enjoyed Brad Pitt comps.
Grade: A
13. Dan Uggla
The Braves swindled the Marlins in making this trade. They really got them good. For Omar Infante, who would start for very few teams other than the Marlins, and a couple spare parts, the Braves got a studly slugger who could reinvigorate their crummy offense and outhit his defensive liabilities for a year. It was a brilliant trade. Give them a D for the five-year contract extension they gave him, but as for the original acquisition...
Grade: B
12. Johnny Damon
Signing Damon was half of the double-whammy with which the Rays hit their AL East rivals this winter, having waited most of the signing period to pounce on the remaining free agents. Damon has 14 home runs and 14 stolen bases, so that's neat, but otherwise, he's been remarkably low-impact.
That said, I have no doubt that his leadership has helped the Rays keep plugging and get back into the AL playoff hunt. I'm not in favor of signing players with makeup or chemistry too close to the forefront, but in this case, it might just work out.
Grade: C-plus
11. Manny Ramirez
This is the most recent photo in our database of Ramirez. It was taken April 3.
Grade; F
P.S., Don't do drugs, kids. It will force you into a shameful retirement and totally spoil your Hall of Fame cred.
10. Matt Garza
The Cubs overpaid to get Matt Garza, and were in position to take advantage of the great season he has had. Still and all, he's a heck of a hurler. The raw stuff here is jaw-dropping. If he can ever overcome bad luck, a bad defense and some temperament issues (blown out of proportion by narrative mongers), he could be a true ace. In the meantime, he's an NL Central ace, anyway.
Grade: B
9. Adam Dunn
And that was just this year falling on the Sox. The other shoe is soon to drop, and it is a size three-more-years and weighs $44 million.
Grade: F
8. Lance Berkman
It's still a myth that the Cardinals are contenders. It's a scary story Bud Selig is telling you to get you to care about the Wild Card. That said, the Cards would have been shuffled into the deck of losers months ago if not for the inspired decision to forgo defense in right field and take what Berkman can give with the bat. He's given them the world in return.
More teams should recognize this inefficiency, because a huge part of the declines in run scoring lately is sheer selection bias. Teams willing to give up 10 defensive runs to get 30 at the plate will thrive until the league balances itself.
Grade: A
7. Zack Greinke
Targeted contention—deciding when your optimal chance will occur and preparing to pounce—is an under-utilized method of team building in baseball today. The White Sox represent its huge risk and drawbacks. The Brewers represent the potential for glory when things go right. Greinke and his mates have made them a juggernaut capable of seriously threatening, and maybe toppling, the Phillies this season.
Grade: A
6. Victor Martinez
When Martinez became the first big-name signee of the winter, you had to wonder how it would work out for the Detroit Tigers. In order for a guy like Martinez to be worth four years and $50 million, he would need to catch at least sometimes, right?
They've put that to the test now that Alex Avila has taken over so convincingly behind the plate. Sure enough, Martinez looks a bit overpaid. Even so, he's hit really well this season, even better than he usually had, and he was always a great hitter. His power is down, so putting him ahead of Miguel Cabrera might be a good idea (he's gotten on base at a .374 clip this year).
Grade: B-minus
5. Adrian Beltre
Beltre is such an excellent defender that he only needs to be good—good, not great—in order to earn a five-year, $80-million deal. He has that kind of defensive value. Injuries have curtailed him this season a bit, as they sometimes do, but when Beltre has played he has been well worth the Rangers' investment.
Give Daniels credit, again, for putting together Beltre, Michael Young, Napoli and company and trusting manager Ron Washington to sort out playing time for those talented pieces.
Grade: A-minus
4. Jayson Werth
Confirmation bias has made it easy to flay the Nationals for the seven-year, $126-million contract to which the team signed Werth in December. His batting line for the year does look ugly.
Here's the dirty little secret: He really has not been all that bad, and he's getting better. Werth does many things well. He runs the bases extremely efficiently, fields well in the outfield (even center field, albeit in a mere smattering of innings lately) and sometimes gets on base and hits for power. Since the All-Star break, he has an .810 OPS. It's still a tenuous investment, but it's not indefensible.
Grade: C-plus
3. Carl Crawford
- Crawford's defensive value is diminished playing alongside Jacoby Ellsbury and in Fenway Park's cramped left field.
- Crawford's success over the past two seasons was not invulnerable to the ravages of regression.
- Speed is a tricky thing to project, because it can fade (even temporarily) without warning. The cliche that speed never takes a day off is nonsense.
Crawford's struggles this year highlight the risk of big-money signings. There weren't great warning signs here; Crawford simply collapsed. Injuries probably played a bigger role here than anyone cares to admit. Still, it's clear that:
One year down, six to go. Crawford had better get better fast.
Grade: D
2. Cliff Lee
When discussing the Yankees earlier, did I mention that they were spurned for less money by their absolute, number-one-with-a-bullet priority target on the free-agent market?
Lee has had some brief glimpses of mortality this year, but in general, he's been so good as to make his $24-million AAV look downright affordable. He does everything well, and does it for eight or nine innings every time he takes the mound. If the Phillies still had an elite offense, we could call the season now and ESPN could stop pretending to care about something other than the NFL.
Grade: A
1. Adrian Gonzalez
If Adrian Gonzalez had been told he would hit just 25 home runs his first 645 plate appearances in a Red Sox uniform, would he have felt as good about the move? We'll never know.
The Sox locked him down in April for seven years, and though Gonzalez hasn't hit 50 home runs the way some thought he might, he has MORE than made up for that lack of homers by clanging balls all nonchalant off the Green Monster. He might win a rare sweep of the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger at first base, which are usually split between the two best hitters at the position.
Grade: A

Powers Vow to Limit Credit Crisis Damage
Saturday, October 20, 2007; 12:52 AM
WASHINGTON -- Finance officials from the world's top economic powers pledged Friday to do all they can to limit damage to the global economy from a jarring credit crisis as Wall Street took another plunge.
"We remained committed to doing our part in sustaining strong global growth," the finance officials said in a joint statement. While saying the functioning of global financial markets was improving somewhat, they warned that "uneven conditions are likely to persist for some time and will require close monitoring."
The turmoil that financial markets have suffered through in recent months dominated the Group of Seven discussions, which were hosted by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Besides, the United States, the other members of the G-7 are Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Canada.
The finance officials didn't spell out a specific course of action. Rather, they sought to strike a confident tone that they are on top of the situation. Finance officials also said they will seek to learn the causes and lessons from the turmoil.
"Our response to recent financial turbulence must be based on full analysis of its causes," the officials said in their statement.
Several stores in the upscale Georgetown district boarded up their windows Friday night in anticipation of possible vandalism by protesters in town for the World Bank and IMF meetings. Some protesters marched through Georgetown to voice opposition to "excessive wealth and privilege," though the protests were about 10 blocks east of the meetings.
Police said there were no arrests, but there was at least one incidence of violence as protesters clogged the streets. One woman was bleeding from the face, apparently hit by a brick. Police did not know how seriously she was injured.
Risks to the global economy have intensified since finance officials from the G-7 countries last gathered here in April.
The housing slump in the United States has deepened. Problem mortgages have multiplied. Credit has dried up for risky and some not-so-risky borrowers. The spreading troubles unhinged Wall Street in the late summer and sent stocks worldwide into a tailspin.
It appeared things had calmed down since, but Wall Street got unnerved again on Friday. The Dow Jones industrials plunged 366.94 points. Ominously, the tumble came on the 20-year anniversary of the Black Monday stock crash. This time it was lackluster corporate earnings, credit concerns and rising oil prices that rattled investors.
Given the economy's delicate state, there are worries that more bad news could easily push edgy investors into another bout of panic and spook both businesses and individuals, whose spending and investment are critical to the world's economic health.
Surging oil prices also are complicating the global outlook. They briefly topped $90 a barrel, a new trading high, then eased a bit and closed at $88.60 a barrel Friday in the United States.

Poll: No Blame if Court Nixes Health Care Law
By Margot Sanger-Katz | National Journal 11 hrs ago
Even though President Obama fought for passage of the landmark 2010 health care law, very small minorities say their attitudes about him would change one way or the other should the Supreme Court strike down the law that is so often referred to as Obamacare.
Two-thirds of those surveyed in a new public-opinion poll said that their respect for Obama would be unchanged if the Supreme Court struck down his signature legislative achievement. Fourteen percent said they would respect Obama more under such a scenario, while 15 percent said they would respect him less.
That trend was consistent across the political spectrumsimilar proportions of Republicans, Democrats, and independents said they would be unmoved, despite the pundits speculation that a Court decision declaring the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional in part or in its entirety might alter public opinion toward the president. The nonplussed attitude also held across nearly all age, income, regional, and racial categories, with at least 60 percent of each surveyed group saying that the ruling would have no impact on their view of the president.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
And/or go to jail.
Sure would like to see the internals on that poll.
Funny, too, how the media is polling this question but refuses to report on the mass hatred of Obamacare.
Two-thirds of those surveyed in a new public-opinion poll said that their respect for Obama would be unchanged if the Supreme Court struck down his signature legislative achievement.
How can anyone in their right mind have any respect at all for the pissant that is trying to destroy the United States of America?
on the other hand my lack of respect could not get much higher
Love this new trend of polling to determine that crushing defeats of everything Obama don't matter. Pretty neat. What will the headlines say after election day in November?
(I)on the other hand my lack of respect could not get much higher(/I)
They will, of course, say that Obama's defeat was a resounding endorsement of his success, the voters celebrating the fact that he has accomplished his mission in four short years.
I can understand this poll easy enough.
Those of us who loath Obama will continue to loath him and those who are drinking the Kool-aid are too stupid to be bothered by his failure anyway.Also it isn't only Obama who gets all the blame for Obamacare. Nancy and all of the Democrats share the blame for the Obamacare disaster.
Remember Obama didnt write it, We don't even know who did.
It is far too complicated a piece of destructive and costly legislation to have been written by anything less than a Socialist think tank of America's enemies to have come from politicians. Yeah: they voted for it but they didn't write it, and few of them read it, and none of them understood it. It is filled with so many ways to grow like Topsy, that no one can see where it might go in the future.
Yeah, and the WI election, it doesn't mean anything either!
Fools wallow in their folly.
My respect for Obama would not change at all.
"nothin' from nothin' leaves nothing"
Liberal psychopathology does appear to extend beyond the individual libs themselves.....
The razor thin loss to Romney (60%) Obama (40%) was even closer then the numbers show.....Exit Polls show Obama winning and will serve as the starting point of contesting the election under a new executive order.....National Guard Troops will be called to keep President Obama in office until a new election can be called...No date has been set...
They can't
2 words here.... spin control
It would appear somebody already knows exactly what the court intends to do!!!!!
"on the other hand my lack of respect could not get much higher"
Well said! Ha...ha...ha!
Count me as one of them. My "respect" for him would not change 1 bit!
Create an unconstitutional law
(a) that no Republican supported
(b) that even needed the buying of Democrat votes to get it passed
(c) not Obama's fault
"We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it..."
CULTURE OF CORRUPTION courtesy of Nancy Pelosi, rich witch b!tch.
I have no respect for this life-long red diaper doper baby in the White House who has a high level of distaste and resentment against this country.
My opinion of him would not change if his step towards total socializing of the health care system was rejected by the courts.

Hello again and Happy New Year! Here's hoping that your 2017 is miles better than 2016!
Before I start looking at a brand new year of books, here's my final look back over the best novels that I read in 2016. As always, by "best" I mean everything that I awarded either 4 or 5 stars to on Goodreads. For this final post, I'll be looking back over my favourite novels that I discovered between October and December.
Hope you enjoyed these last four posts! Now that my holidays are over, I'll get back to looking at my usual reviews. I can't wait to see what new gems I discover over the next twelve months!

You can't make your husband complete but you can lead by example and complete yourself. If you were single I would tell you to run away from anyone who is not complete. But, depending on the issues that brought about this question, love him, anyway and without condition. In the true essence of the word 'complete', we are all lacking. That is when we must dig into the innermost parts of our souls and spiritual selves and see ourselves as divine beings. The peace that you will have, the resolve of your thoughts, the strength of your love will be overwhelming and a loving husband, complete or not, will have no choice but to reciprocate. You'll be the light to that will stamp out any darkness in your relationship.

Awakening is a term used to describe a general increase in awareness, such as the increase in awareness that occurs when you awaken from your nightly sleep. Spiritual Awakening is a term used to describe the general increase in awareness that accompanies temporary and/or permanent Connection to Consciousness.
Spiritual awakening (or just awakening for short) is typically a volunteer process. It is initiated by intent and (sometimes) facilitated with Connection Supplements. In certain situations, Forced Awakening may occur.
Both spiritual and daily awakening occur when Consciousness is drawn into the Physical Unit (Sosteric, SA1).
Spiritual awakening a biological process that occurs naturally without intervention. The natural process of spiritual awakening can be subverted by Toxic Socialization and associated practices. When the natural process of awakening has been subverted, remedial training and healing are typically required.
Spiritual awakening is the first stage in a three stage process of Spiritual Realization.
Awakening occurs in two basic steps. Step one, become aware that spiritual awakening is a thing. Step two, will/intend it to happen (Sharp, BII).
Spiritual awakening is a significant process that implicates all aspects of an individual's psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual life space.
Spiritual awakening may be initiated via a simple statement of Intent. The intent may be verbal, as in the case of Awakening Mantras, or it may be visual, as in the case of Awakening Visualizations (Sharp, B0; BII). Connection Supplements may also be used to facilitate short-term (a few minutes to a few hours) Connection Experiences (Sosteric, SA1; Sharp, BI),
Awakening (i.e. drawing Consciousness into the vessel) is a complicated and, owing to failures in this planet's Toxic Socialization process, challenging process. In many cases professional psychological, emotional, and sociological supports are required in order to to fully awaken an individual.
Awakening takes time; a single intent statement is always insufficient to guarantee spiritual awakening. Clear intent and vision exercised over an extended period of time is usually required in order to completely awaken (Sharp, BOOK0, BOOK2).
