  1. the Rangers made Michael Young switch positions twice to make room for unproven young guys and he was sort of the face of the franchise it wasn't a real big deal, and shouldn't be a big deal for Castro to move to 2nd if need be
  2. i was sort of interested in Beltre given the year he's having, until i realized/noticed he's hit .334/.382/.598 his two contract years and .266/.317/.442 the rest of his career this is very good news
  3. looking back at the preseason projections, pecota was the most optimistic at 273/.323/.383 (.316 wOBA) and they've fallen quite short of his actual .328 wOBA thus far it's really hard to find any fault with the way he's played to this point
  4. somebody made a pretty good gif of the Ballard-Vokoun thing http://chzgifs.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/beheading1.gif
  5. that's asinine and oblivious at any rate, his hit chart really shows how miserable his luck's been http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/individual_player_hitting_chart.jsp?c_id=bal&playerID=455976&statType=1
  6. Gagne: "I was willing to waive my no-trade clause only for Tampa Bay, not for other teams" that's why they got (ugh) "owned"
  7. and he's still the youngest player in the pros *swoon*
  8. my firesale wish list Lilly for Bossman Jr. Colvin for Alex Gordon Fukudome for Bowden Lee for Engel Beltre Theriot for Wilkin Ramirez Silva for Thole Nady for Kehrer (LAA)
  9. that'd be completely insane weren't he, Lars Andersen and Jordan Walden the guys everybody wanted to overslot with our late picks and we ended up with Huseby and Rundle or am i confusing years a bit?
  10. my guess would be that they have always realized what a huge hindrance his salary will continue to be when they Seabrook, Brouwer, etc. start getting raises too, but that now he could probably be somewhat adequately replaced in-house by a very similar player in Vishnevskiy
  11. he's got one of the best arms in the game, 2B would be a tremendous waste of his talent. i think he could be consistently near +10 in RF
  12. i'll happily take the over for 3.1 wins with anybody who's willing to wager
  13. ideally, we'd just move Colvin for Alex Gordon to free a spot for BJ in that scenario (and Fuku to the Sox for something like Bowden)
  14. wow, i just noticed the Giants traded Francisco Liriano and Joe Nathan for A.J. Pierzynski. that turned out to be a really solid deal for them. and the Giants got a really poor return on Pierzynski when they let him walk a year later.
  15. i'm pretty sure i remember Hollinger say that if David Lee could develop a 10-footer he'd be a hall of fame player
  16. maybe it's #2 and they're targeting Ilya
  17. Ivan Vishnevskiy (their #2 prospect) and a 2nd rounder
  18. TSNBobMcKenzie: Darren Dreger reports Andrew Ladd is an Atlanta Thrasher.
  19. Hamhuis to Vancouver @ $4.5m per @Jay_Grossman: Volchenkov closed to being finalized with NJD. 6 yrs. term
  20. 4 @ $1.65M per for Boogard that has to be a joke
