    He's been the only consistent member of the pen, aside from Marmol and they probably wanted at least a couple guys up there who likely won't be traded during the season.

    I've always been a Ryan Sweeney fan. Good, low-cost signing. We're good on outfield depth, as someone said. Our infield depth is pretty putrid.
  3. Post Count Padder
    So what does the roster look like now? The 25-man is mostly set, right?
  4. Post Count Padder
    The Yankees are about to complete a deal for Vernon Wells.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Wow. I mean, I hate Braun like everyone else, but that's insane the league is gonna bypass its own laws for a witch hunt.
  6. Post Count Padder
    Reminds me of a few years ago when Jason LaRue was traded for what turned out to be $1. That was still more than this, though.
  7. Post Count Padder
    What a joke. Nowhere near the plate.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Oh, yeah, duh. Also Pineda to the 60 day DL to allow for the signing. Is he gonna pitch anytime soon? Lot of Yankees fans irate over that trade.

    So the Yanks' starting lineup to begin the year: Ichiro Jeter Cano Youkilis Travis Hafner Juan Rivera Boesch Fransisco Cervelli Gardner Woof. I could see Gardner having the highest WAR of that group.

    Marmol averages 8 BB/9 but somehow has an ERA under 3 at the deadline and some team bites Feldman actually finishes the season with a higher WAR than EJax Garza misses half the season Injuries force Trey McNutt up and he has a Randy Wells-espque flash in the pan season And... Prior makes it happen and gets called up to the majors. Dusty brings him in during the 3rd inning for mop-up duty in a blowout loss and lets him finish the game, causing his arm to actually detach from his body.

    Barney finally puts up a .700 OPS Hairston hits 25 homers Soriano falls back to earth, but Amaro gets desperate and sends us a few prospects for him at the deadline And... Tony Campana manages a .299 OBP but steals 38 bases and the idiots call for Theo's head.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Cashman basically said they're not trading for Soriano and will go with in-house options. I'd rather have Sori now anyway. If we're doing poorly at the deadline and he's playing well enough, deal him then. I honestly don't think we'd get a good enough return for him now anyway.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Wow, we got actual, living, breathing prospects, let alone ones with potential, for Tony Campana? This is wonderful, even if neither guy amounts to anything.
  15. Post Count Padder
    Soooooooooo this just happened

    Someone should tell Mr. Heyman that Milton Bradley likely won't be available this season. In all seriousness, they could be an interesting trade parner for us. Marmol and depending on how much they're willing to give up, Soriano or DeJesus. They need outfield and bullpen help. Their starting OF as of now is Lucas Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Baxter. Not sure what they'd offer though. The Marcum signing is a nice addition for them.
  18. Post Count Padder
    That's crazy to me. He had 48 extra base hits in 398 PA's. It's hard to imagine that doesn't come out to much of an upgrade? I'm guessing that takes defense into account and Hairston can be a butcher at times. That said, I think this is a pretty nice deal. Nothing earth-shattering but gives us some options and another power bat.
  19. Post Count Padder
    So in this scenario, the O's are giving up ONLY Hardy and getting Garza in return? And the Tigers are getting hosed. Replace Rondon with a good O's prospect and that's more realistic.
  20. Post Count Padder
    And..... interesting: 1. Javier Baez, ss 2. Albert Almora, of 3. Jorge Soler, of 4. Arodys Vizcaino, rhp 5. Brett Jackson, of 6. Pierce Johnson, rhp 7. Dan Vogelbach, 1b 8. Jeimer Candelario, 3b 9. Kyuji Fujikawa, rhp 10. Arismendy Alcantara, ss http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/organization-top-10-prospects/2013/2614527.html Fujikawa included in the top 10.

    I hope Todd Walker and Aaron Sele get their dues.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Dodgers sign JP Howell to a one year deal
  23. Post Count Padder
    Yikes. Didn't he retire? That said, even his last two years in the majors, which sucked, he was pretty decent against lefties. Held them to a .369 OPS in 2011 and a .581 OPS in 2010. He might end up not terrible if we use him strictly as a LOOGY. Worth a shot, I guess.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Former Red (and Cub, briefly) Ryan Freel died yesterday, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot.
  25. Post Count Padder
    Yeah, my understanding is Brown has had some odd injuries and the Phillies never seemed interested in giving him the starting job. If we end up doing this deal, I'd be thrilled. It's about the best we could hope for. Brown is still young and still a decent hitter. And isn't a FA until 2018.
