  1. I agree. I love the submission by Hitman Hart other than the sausage link numbers.
  2. When he first started it they said it was so he didn't tip off his splitter.
  3. I'm glad Weeks has stopped all the flippy dippy in the batters box.
  4. I think a lot of people in Miami and all over the baseball world would be okay with this trade if it didn't look like Miami was going to have a $40-50 million payroll this year. I'm not saying they have to go out and throw money at Hamilton and Greinke or something like that but if they would sign a couple of free agents like Edwin Jackson and B.J. Upton or something like that it would make it look like they're at least trying to put a respectable team out there. It just looks bad when you say you need a new stadium to compete financially, get taxpayer money for it, go out and spend a bunch on free agents and then trade those free agents less than a year after signing them. If they were going to trade them, the least they could've done was trade them individually. I think you would have gotten a lot more if you traded these players individually instead of as one group, especially this early in the offseason. We're what, about 2.5 weeks past the World Series ending?
  5. He didn't advocate that trade. He just said that's probably what the Mets would want.
  6. Tim Kurkjian didn't vote for the NL so he couldn't have voted for Kimbrel. Tracy Ringolsby voted Kimbrel 2nd and John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press voted Jim Johnson 3rd. It was cringeworthy to listen to Kurkjian on SportsCenter talk about how he voted for Cabrera. He said he thought Trout was easily the best player who had the best season but he voted for Cabrera because his team made the playoffs and Trout's team finished 3rd even though he said that wasn't Trout's fault. The logic some of these guys use makes you wonder how they ever got writing jobs in the first place. Spidey was referencing the Cy Young voting results. Ahh, that is what one refers to as my bad.
  7. I don't think the rebuilding Mets would want a 30 year old corner outfielder/first baseman in the last year of his contract for Dickey. I don't even want Dickey. Last year of his deal, I wouldn't want to re-sign him and I doubt he's even close to being as good as he was in 2013 as he was in 2012.

  9. From Darren Rovell's twitter page. A letter from the Miami mayor to Selig. http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/full/687915113.png?key=462503&Expires=1353041521&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&Signature=rkEVnkonRNtrMMa7gVnL-Iv8FNkh~KCuz39nGRwkk~Z27RtNlT8eKc2nNdauuNVCGb3AEglBBdoXieHiCQKlW2VRNYlv-Xtk7cvsZy2arDXvzKauD-yxbSklW9749~P5nLEnh-F7mUK3X1BE~CiM8qCL8eYn6GUPHoPLFxVvHCQ_ [edited to include link to tweet - hawing]
  10. I wouldn't really have a problem if any of the 4 listed with Braun won tomorrow, so I'm definitely not going to say he's going to get jobbed.
  11. They lost to Verlander twice and the other game they lost came on veteran Grant Balfour giving up a run in the 9th and Coco Crisp, another veteran dropping a flyball that led to two unearned runs.
  12. November 24th, 2009.
  13. If you are sitting anywhere close to being accessible by camera and wear something that shows your rooting interest there is no doubt you will be on TV.
  14. How is Florida not a baseball state? The problem with the vast majority of Southern markets in all sports is that there are a lot of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest. Those people already have their own teams that they follow, so they may go to a few games, especially if the team they follow is in town but aren't going to be season ticket holders. It's not really a mystery that you always get a lot of opposing fans in Tampa, Phoenix, Atlanta etc. for all sports.
  15. All 10 of them?? I'm not going to make fun of their fanbase because would you want to follow that team? In related news, Giancarlo Stanton chimes in. Comments are what one would expect.
  16. Loria is the scum of the earth. Escobar and Hechevarria going to the Marlins with other pieces I'm sure.
  17. Their babies will be athletic and beautiful.
  18. I personally think that's too early to take any kid to any sporting event. They aren't likely to care at all about the game.
  19. I don't know anything about Wrestlemania but I do know about the Final Four and even if it wasn't during baseball season, there's no way it's being played anywhere but a football stadium.
  20. The Rays bullpen this year was homegrown players (Davis, McGee), cheap players they traded for (Howell), guys on one year contracts (Badenhop, Peralta) and guys on the second years of their contracts after they signed one year deals with club options (Rodney, Farnsworth). So where are the multi-year deals there?
  21. 34 year old Ramirez > 37 year old A-Rod.
  22. ARod is just a former big name at this point. He's averaged 119 games the past three years and an .819 OPS.
  23. I think you're overthinking this. The Cardinals had Carpenter, Garcia, Westbrook, Lynn, Wainwright and Lohse under contract this year. That's 6 major league starters and they had some good arms down in the minors as well. The Nationals have Strasburg, Zimmermann, Gonzalez, Detwiler and Lannan under contract. I read they declined to offer arbitration to Jackson because they like some other free agent starters better. Maybe they make a play on Greinke or Sanchez, Lerner certainly has the money to do so. I don't think them not wanting to possibly get locked in on Gonzalez without exploring other options is a slight against Jackson in any way. By the way, this is not my endorsement of the Brewers going after Jackson or any free agent pitcher for that matter. Just giving my opinion on why Jackson has bounced around so much.
  24. That seems pretty silly. And if we're going to talk about Estrada we'll just ignore that he got traded by the Braves to make room for Brian McCann and got traded by Arizona because they had Miguel Montero and Chris Snyder.
  25. I'm not exactly sure why everyone is so concerned with Jackson playing for a bunch of teams. The Dodgers stupidly traded him for win now help. The Rays traded him for offensive help when they had Price, Shields, Garza, Kazmir, Niemann in their rotation and Sonnanstine and Davis as backups. He was excess pitching that was traded for a position of need (Matt Joyce). The Tigers traded him as part of that huge deal with the Yankees and D'Backs. They traded Jackson and Granderson for Scherzer, Austin Jackson, Phil Coke and Daniel Schlereth. It's not like they gave him away. The Diamondbacks traded him at the deadline in 2010 when they were 38-65. They got Daniel Hudson and David Holmberg (turned 21 during the season and posted a 3.32 ERA and 153 strikeouts and 37 walks in 173.1 innings last year between A+ and AA.) Then the White Sox traded him to the Blue Jays for basically nothing who then flipped him to St. Louis for Colby Rasmus who was still and still may be highly regarded. It's not like he's been released and traded for peanuts or anything like that.
