Martz just needs to go back to basics with the offense, and just go with some easy [expletive] until Jay is back. Just go to a "don't lose" offense.

Not good, but to be fair, the pick was a drop from Williams.

Pujols knows of the Marlins' fire sale ways, and that a 10-year contract screams 2 years, a World Series, and then summarily being dumped elsewhere to save money. Well yeah, and the Marlins have to leave themselves a way out if the attendance isn't what they think it will be at the new park.

Me likey. I don't see Albert going for it. If he declines further, he could be SOL after a 4-5 year deal was up. OTOH, It could free him up to retire a Card after making a ton of money, if he were interested in such a thing. Uh...not talking about Albert.

If the Cubs sign Fielder and then trade Garza, that would seem to be a conflict of interest unless they are getting a guaranteed young stud pitcher, which is basically not going to happen. In what bizarro world is that a conflict of interest? The bizarro world where if you sign Fielder or Pujols you have to be an immediate contender, otherwise it's a waste of time. Especially if its Pujols or Fielder on a 5 year contract. 'Twas sarcasm.

Huh? He's saying that those teams are not a factor and they would want to opt out after a couple of years so they could sign in those markets. Which is ridiculous because the Cubs have an assload of money to spend and a wide opening at their position. Also, I highly doubt 1B in Boston is gonna open up any time soon. Or that they'll collapse in Sept, fire their long time manager, and their long time GM will leave for another team.

Respectfully disagree. Lame, unfunny memes are meta. http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/4/1240265992468.jpg -
Dude don't worry, Berkman is totally gonna hold up. My Cards fan buddy is fine with Berkman, and just wants the Pujols thing to end so they can move on and take care of the middle infield.

Harang to Dodgers is a done deal. 2yrs $12mil. -
Not really stepping out on a limb here, but Fielder is more likely to take a shorter, high dollar deal, you'd think.

Go Cobs! -
It certainly doesn't seem as improbable after Miami's haul last year.

OK. Don't know who would replace Deng, but wouldn't really care at that point. And now that I've raised your hopes, this mod on RealGM will crush them for you...posted on Thurs: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1139372&start=15 if he's a guy who won't play in a cold weather city, new york is out then too. It was said elsewhere in the thread that he also doesn't like big cities, but apparently he'll make an exception for LA.
