  1. Would be good for the Rays. Another slugger for the middle of their order and they have plenty of prospects so unloading a few wouldn't crush them.
  2. Maybe they shift Guillen to third and we trade them Theriot? They've shown interest in him already.
  3. Yeah, sucks to pitch well for a team that won't score runs. Hopefully for Strasburg, Dunn stays, Zimmerman keeps hitting and Harper breezes through the minors.
  4. Let's hope this is just the beginning. His OBP isn't ridiculously high, but I'm pleasantly surprised by his plate discipline at such a young age at the big league level. He's only gonna get better.
  5. Also, Flyers get owned. Gagne is still a good player. Solid deal for the Lightning.
  6. If you say so. Looks like the deal is $102 million over 17 years and only $1 million per year for the last seven. That makes for a cap hit of only $6 million a year. Kovalchuk gets his $100 million and the Devils get him at an affordable rate.
  7. It's not gonna be $150 mil. ESPN changed its report. It'll likely be 17 years, $100 million and front loaded. It'll lesson the cap hit and makes it so he won't be earning $7 million a year when he's 40. I'm excited. But now I wonder what Lou does to dump salary. I'm think he ships off Rolston, White and Zubrus for a bag of pucks. Rolston isn't good anymore and is overpaid. White is basically useless. And Zubrus is a solid defensive forward but is making too much.
  8. I wouldn't. It's kinda hard to sell high on a young pitcher who's having success and was a good prospect before making his big-league debut because he can continue to get better. His peripherals may be weird, but that doesn't mean you trade him.
  9. Yeah, but I don't think he'll be an All Star this year.
  10. I like Swish, but Youk should have won.
  11. Just noticed that two All Stars (Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus) were both sent to the Rangers for Mark Teixeira in 07. The Rangers also got Jared Saltalamacchia, Matt Harrison and another minor leaguer in the trade. That turned out to be a really solid deal for them. And the Braves got a really poor return on Teixeira when they flipped him to the Angels a year later.
  12. I thought he was already retired.
  13. Good move for them, though their whole roster is basically former decent prospects who haven't panned out.
  14. This makes no sense for the Cubs. I also don't mind selling high on Marmol, but there has to be more we can get for him than a guy who's basically Tyler Colvin with more walks. And I read the comments on that rumor and no one believes it, but this guy claims it's true and "that's what his birdies are telling him." I call shenanigans.
  15. This is just an annoying situation. And I can see the front office trying to pawn Z on some team for a horrible return.
  16. I don't think he was supposed to be a lot better. EPatt just walked more. And played 2B.
