    yeah, i read somewhere recently (i think on bp) an article explaining why guys are signing these team-friendly deals. matt moore was a 6th round pick and didn't get big signing money. i don't think santana did either. now they're stuck with making the major league minimum for 3 years, and things can go wrong during that time - either they bust or get injured and never really recover. so to a guy like santana or moore, a guaranteed $20m looks pretty nice when you're making the major league minimum with no guarantee that you'll be making more than that. so they make better money in the short run and have a guaranteed payday later in their arbitration years, rather than "scraping by" at $350k or whatever for 3 years.

    I don't understand why, Dale said it is one of the best in baseball. Thanks for treating the fans like morons Dale. most of the fans are morons.

    Good lord. i really wish rizzo hadn't come up and laid a complete egg with the padres. his numbers in tucson were crazy last year and i'd be 100% on board with him as a future star without that bad few weeks. there's still the little doubt in the back of my head with him. that being said, the crappy play for the padres might be the reason that he was available at all.

    You've been pissy and reactionary since December. Why stop now? yeah i was gonna say, if kyle would limit it to just the game threads we'd all be thrilled.

    They're going to score this inning. hurry up, tell us that the brewers will score every inning for the rest of the game.

    really attractive bunch, those brewer fans.

    i've been pretty critical of samardzija, but sounds like his stuff was awesome, and most importantly he had good command. hopefully he keeps it up - he's still cheap enough (in arbitration) to be quite a bargain if he can turn into a #2/3 type pitcher.

    people have been saying this for like 3 years.

    nah i'd leave the number of reserves the same. people should be able to manage. update on kevin's hitters: 0-for-24, 5 strikeouts. he also had a relief pitcher give up 2 runs on a home run, so his score stands at -5.75.

    wasting a roster spot. aj morris pitched his first inning as a cub - gave up a hit and an unearned run with one K. sat out last year recovering from shoulder surgery after being acquired in the gorzo deal.

    kyle, take note... when aramis fan is being more optimistic than you, it's probably time to dial it down a bit.

    I think we need to clarify that this isn't illegal. We have enough confusion in this league without calling legal rosters illegal just bc you have some starting player spots empty. to clarify, people can overload their bench to avoid going over the SP limit, and can move a bench player into the starting lineup (within the week) to replace a player who is dinged up and will miss a few games.

    i'm considering voting yes just based on the fact that kyle and cc voted no.
