Isn't he Mr. Optimism in general? (aside from team's chances in the world cup that is)

UMFan deleted his post but my twitter says there is no news on Altidore yet.

At 19, in his first pro season he had an IsoP over 300. He hit 17 HR in less than 300 PA. So, he did translate the power to professional games, it just went away last year when it took him more than 550 PA to get to 19 HR and he has only 5 HR in ~250 PA this season.

Oh shut the [expletive] up Brett.

Why do soccer folk insist on referring to singular countries in the plural? It kind of bugs the crap out of me. It is the britishized affectation of talking futbol.

Did Ervin's prior 3 year compare to Samardzija's past 3 years? They aren't paying big contracts based on career years in your walk season. results-wise, yes (3.85 vs. 3.87 ERA), but Shark supported it with much stronger peripherals, which GMs seem to be putting more stock into these days you're clearly missing the main point, though; nowhere did i suggest Shark will have to accept $14M, but i do think he's very likely going to be in for a rude awakening if he expects $135M in full I'm not missing the point. My point was there's a very good reason for Shark excepting nothing less than the maximum. Plenty of 30+ year old pitchers make $20+/years and there is more and more money available to more and more teams. He has very little incentive to accept a less, yet safer, deal today and he can't really be threatened with a "look what happened to Garza" story. Even if he does pull a Garza and get hurt between now and then he can still probably get another $50m. That isn't a cautionary tale. -
Pretty crappy list. Besides the sub-.400 SLG bat-only 1B/DH that everyone has already mentioned, they seemingly knock Soler for his injury problems while thinking Edwards' shoulder injury is no big deal. Tseng and Hendricks are top 10 prospects and should be ahead of Vogelbach and Stinnett. yeah, Edwards at 3 despite the injury is just wanting desperately to put a pitcher up there.

Why wouldn't he think that? Every good pitcher gets what they want on the market and the money that teams have to spend is only going up. Age 31 isn't an obstacle to most teams. with the rumored demands, he's making a bet that his arm stays fully intact for 18 more months do i really need to remind you of the many casualties throughout the league so far for you to see why this is a pretty foolish gamble on his part? If it was really that foolish it would be stupid for the Cubs to offer him anything. He's already made enough money to retire on. He has no real incentive to take less than max value.

Age is definitely a big obstacle, once you cross 30 it's really tough to get teams to shell out even half of 25 million. Look at Garza(remember his contract ask mid-2012?), Santana, and Ubaldo this year. C.J Wilson is the only 30+ pitcher to make more than the QO in the new CBA. That'll change with Scherzer and Lester this offseason, but it underscores that you have to be really good for a long time or phenomenally good to make that type of money as a 30+ pitcher. Thus far Shark hasn't done either. I mean, I guess if you want to compare him to injured guys you can, not sure why you would though.

Where do I get that Raised Right shirt for sulley? The people recording themselves are weird. http://screamer.deadspin.com/how-the-world-tweeted-usa-vs-ghana-1591958697/+barryap

In LA they all watched from their cars.

Can you possibly justify why? If he can't stick at catcher where is he going to play? He's probably best suited for DH. They have a similar batting profile. Good eye, etc. Why are you always a dick to me? Catcher or DH is not really the choice. He can probably play LF or 1B. Vogelbach can barely even be considered a 1B prospect.

They have similar body types, are three months apart in age and both need to hit a hell of a lot to make it in the majors. However, Schwarber is a guy who was able to catch in college and should be able to at least handle LF or 1B as a pro, while Vogelbach is a guy who was questionable to be able to stick at 1B from the day he was drafted out of high school. Vogelbach did shred the NWL as an 18 year old. But I think a big difference is the 20/30 pounds on their not tall at all frames. Vogelbach was "praised" for getting down to where he was at to at least give himself a chance, but now he can't hit. Schwarber should not have to actually lose weight, and there is still a chance he can stick at C, a position where even modest offense would make him extremely valuable.

A DH prospect with a sub .400 SLG is not necessarily disappointing? That list is depressing.

They were so quiet about it that they only leaked the info to one beat writer.

It's all about the OBP. 2nd to last in NL as a team. Several players with well below 300 OBP, only 2 with actually good OBP and 2 more with decent OBP.
