  1. That's fine and all. Shouldn't cost much to acquire and could put up a 2-3 WAR season easily. I'm hoping if we do this deal it's expanded to include Barney going there and one of their many good young pitchers coming back this way.
  2. I keep forgetting he was an All-Star two years ago. He finished that season with a -0.2 bWAR. Has to be one of the worst All-Stars ever.
  3. I like this move. Not a sexy one, but it's cheap and he can provide a decent 250-300 at bats. He also plays good defense/has a great arm.
  4. Rangers sign Randy Wells. I actually forgot about him.
  5. Phillies acquire Ben Revere for Vance Worley and prospect Trevor May. Swisher and Bourn's markets are dwindling.
  6. lulz I know Safeco is bringing in their walls, but playing at Citi Field killed him offensively. It is a low-pressure situation and isn't a bad idea if it's a cheap one year deal.
  7. Dear god no. 2007 was the last time he had a positive bWAR.
  8. Back on topic, let's just focus our disdain toward the Dodgers
  9. per Jon Heyman. Reportedly for Jordan Walden. Bummer, I woulda loved to have him.
  10. Our long national nightmare could be over.
  11. Not bad as rotation depth and he's had past success.
  12. I don't have a problem with it, depending on the terms of the deal. Hes a decent hitter and it wasn't his only good season. He adds depth and versatility. He's a better Jeff Baker.
  13. Josh Johnson apparently found out about the trade by seeing it on MLB Trade Rumors. That's gotta be fun for a player.
  14. Bogusevic is a former first rounder who was converted from the mound. Hit well last year but sucked this year and is 29. Chavez is just 23 and has decent power. The other two are minor league roster fodder.
  15. Man, it woulda been great to trade him when he carried value over the summer instead of sending him to Japan.
  16. Well that's.....interesting. I absolutely love this.
  17. I know he was hot garbage last year, but think there's a chance we would try to take Ubaldo's contract off their hands and give up less in the process in a possible deal?
  18. Kevin Orie is probably still alive and kicking somewhere.
  19. It's fine. He's nothing special but he's a serviceable reliever and it's a cheap one year deal.
  20. Dayton Moore said he'd listen on his young bats in order to upgrade the rotation. That includes Moustakas, Hosmer, Gordon and Wil Myers. If only Garza were healthy enough, I would love to somehow get Myers.
  21. Jays were probably only team willing to go two years. Good deal for them if his success the past couple years was actual growth and not substance-related.
  22. Sad thing is I know the writer who gave him a vote and have met him a few times. He's a really good writer/a pretty smart guy, so I'm shocked by that.
  23. Pretty meh. Navarro is a pretty decent fielder and could be helpful teaching Castillo, who could use some more work. That money seems a bit high, but as others have said, it's not enough to really complain about. It's one year and he's an upgrade over Clevenger. I'm having a hard time believing he is still just 28.
  24. Posey is the NL MVP. Won it pretty decidedly too. Also Soriano got a few votes http://bbwaa.com/12-nl-mvp/
