I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

    Dang, I wasn't covering that game. lmao he's crumpled into a heap and all the players don't move a muscle

    i feel like this whole thing is just so MLB can get the Yankees out from under ARod's contract.

    that money is sunk, they aren't going to get anything better back just by paying it, considering the alternative is just paying it in the first place. the money is sunk, but of course they should expect a better return the more they pay. if a team is getting a player, the less money they have to pay him, the more valuable he is and the more he should cost. if they don't get enough in return, then they should be paying him to play for the Cubs, not the yankees. there's no question that a team should have to give up more for soriano and $18M than for soriano and $10M (or $5M - or nothing) or something. here's how other teams are gonna look at it option a) the cubs pay soriano's 2014 salary, we pick up the rest of 2013 so you can replace him next year and we give you something not completely terrible option b) there's no option b paying the entire thing is the only way to move him. saying "well we'll accept a nothing if you pay the whole thing/a significant portion" accomplishes nothing because no one is going to do it

    Every time I think about Almora, I just kind of don't get the hype. But then you see the results and hear the reviews and I can't help but buy in.

    Yeah my recollection is that the board mostly thought it was a good trade, but we all figured we were trading minor leaguers for a guy we would trade for more minor leaguers later.

    i could get past Olt's batting line if he was 22 or something, and i could get past his age if he was hitting, but both make him too big a pill to swallow thats what she said
  22. imb
    Baez, Soler, Bryant and Almora in my opinion.

    last night someone asked law on twitter if jacob gatwood looked like a no. 1 pick in 2014 and law acts all huffy and says something like "if i say no they'll act like i think he's not a prospect." why even bother responding to that question then, go write about lettuce wraps or parcheesi you [expletive] dork

    Somehow assholes like Law (who I like as an evaluator) can't write a list without trying to troll different fanbases, yet BA is constantly able to pump out quality lists and chats without reducing themselves to that level. I JUST DONT GET HOW IT'S POSSIBLE.

    I dont think Cespedes bat is as bad as it's been this year. What worries me about him is health. He's been dinged up a lot.
