  4. If I ever got that grey shirt I would burn it in the parking lot. worst. logo. ever.
  5. Yuni's still out there. Oh wait, this is the optimism thread. Yuni B still isn't a Brewer!...yet. I am optimistic he will land a bench role for the brewers! It is, of course, an odd-numbered year!

  10. The Nationals have signed Dan Uggla to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, the team announced (on Twitter). Uggla is a client of Turn 2 Sports Management. The Nationals are plenty familiar with Uggla, who turns 35 in March, for a couple of reasons. He’s spent the bulk of his big league career in their division as a member of the Marlins and Braves, and additionally, GM Mike Rizzo drafted Uggla when he was the Diamondbacks’ scouting director back in 2001. Clearly, Uggla’s five-year, $62MM contract extension with Atlanta didn’t pan out as the Braves had hoped. In fact, they’ll pay him $13MM this coming season after releasing him in the fourth year of his contract. Uggla’s bat significantly declined in 2013 and fell off even further in 2014. In total, he batted a mere .171/.291/.326 in 694 plate appearances over the life of those two seasons. While strikeouts have always been a problem for Uggla, his K-rate jumped to 31 percent in 2013-14, and his power vanished entirely in 2014 (two homers in 157 PA, .064 ISO). The Nationals have some uncertainty at second base, as they’ll shift Anthony Rendon to third base full-time in 2015, with Ryan Zimmerman jumping to first base. That leaves Danny Espinosa, who has had offensive struggles of his own, and utility infielder Kevin Frandsen as the primary internal options at the keystone. And while Uggla’s name often invokes cynicism from fans, it’s tough to fault the Nats for taking a low-risk flier on a player that hit 30 or more homers each year from 2007-11 and has been roughly a league-average bat as recently as 2012.
  11. they went from Davis/Sanchez to Alvarez/Hart at 1B. the potential upgrade offensively from that position is huge, but it could also be an Overbay/Reynolds type production
  12. 2 years/$8.5M (2015-16), plus 2017 mutual option signed by Kansas City as a free agent 12/14 15:$2M, 16:$5.5M, 17:$10M mutual option ($1M buyout) performance bonuses: may earn additional $4M in 2015, $6M in 2016 mutual option means they both have to agree to it.
  13. nope, no need, we got the most we could get out of him, including Will Smith. No need to retread time with Aoki
  14. "I cant wait to hangout with a hologram of bud selig" - says no one ever
  15. I heard that yesterday.. such crap that they're trying to have FLSA amended to include minor league baseball players as an exempt profession
  16. more like I think we can pencil him in for the NL MVP
  17. so are Cueto and Bailey the only SP the Reds currently have?
  18. 10:51am: Marlins pitching prospect Anthony DeSclafani is likely headed to the Reds in the deal, MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro tweets. Chad Wallach is also going to Cincinnati, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports on Twitter.
  19. Eugenio Suarez and Johnathan Crawford to Cincy for Afredo Simon
