    My guess would be Baker http://i.imgur.com/1mPoNSJ.gif

    Brett did a write up on how much his numbers have jumped since the ASB...

    Slump over

    THE RICH GET RICHER!

    Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Troy Tulowitzki placed on DL!

    The good news is that 65.4% of that 67.4% is comprised of home runs

    Milone isn't that good, not interested. Pomeranz I'm intrigued by because of the pedigree, but Milone is garbage. 4.43 FIP and 4.51 xFIP with a grotesque 5.7 K/9. Don't know that I'd give up Valbuena+ for him. Pomeranz I could see the appeal, like I said, but not Milone.

    Who does this [expletive] 18 year old piece of [expletive] think he is wearing a different hat from his teammates? DOESN'T HE KNOW THERE'S NO FUN ALLOWED IN BASEBALL!?!?!?

    I feel like he's permanently broken. Between the beaning and how bad he's been this year, I just don't think there's much left other than a good Twitter follow. His peripherals have been pretty damn good this year. 3.69 FIP 2.87 xFIP and a 1.5 fWAR despite having that ugly 4.63 ERA. That .347 BABIP isn't helping

    I'd be happy if they went out and brought in both Masterson and Liriano. It'd be a very "if things go right" kind of situation, but if they were in the fold with the youth movement, that could be a very awesome team next year.

    He's getting like $11 mil a season, we're sitting around $50 mil at the moment I believe, So we'd be around $40 mil if we ditched Jackson's salary all together. If we took half then we'd be near $45 million. Either way, with or without him, we've got a [expletive] load of money to play with

    I realize you're being hyperbolic, but I don't think Baez's OBP is going to be the cataclysmic disaster you're implying it would be. I think he'll be closer to .350 than .300, personally. I suppose if he's a good enough hitter hell have a highish OBP from being pitched around and a high average, but a .260/.310/.450 type line is still a pretty likely outcome. If Javier Baez's likely outcome is as a .760 OPS hitter then let's not hesitate to move him for someone like Stanton ASAP. Maybe I'm optimistic, but I like to think Javy is perennially going to be above an .850 OPS when he settles in and adapts to big league pitching. At the very least an .800 OPS should be cake for a guy with his power. Castro, at the moment, has a .767 OPS. He's drawn 26 walks. He's a good bet for 15-20 homers. I think Javy has better patience than Castro, and he obviously has more power. A .760 OPS is basically another Starlin Castro, which is fine, Castro is a great player, but I don't think for a second they'll be matching up, OPS wise. I fully expect a player with 40 home run power to put up and OPS of .800 at the very least. If he's a .760 OPS guy I'll be very disappointed.

    It's not unprecedented, though it was before the new CBA http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/08/barret-loux-to-be-granted-free-agency.html

    Cubs sue "Billy Cub" http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Cubs-Sue-Unofficial-Billy-Cub-Characters-267740041.html

    The Aiken news made me think about Barret Loux. Didn't realize he underwent TJS during spring training. Didn't he have shoulder issues, though, that scared the D-Backs off from signing him?

    This was a good read on the Angels organization in general (but mostly their farm system and development) at the start of the year, and how they realize how awful they've truly been http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10470778/los-angeles-angels-try-anything-fix-worst-franchise-mlb-espn-magazine

    very probably not. calm the prospect hype just a tad. Said he *might*. Not committing to that at all

    What's crazy to me is that in a few years if Rizzo continues to put up seasons like this where he's hitting 35+ homers a year and a ~.900+ OPS... he might be the fourth best bat on the team

    Stanton hit a home run out toward center field that nearly hit their celebration monstrosity, but just missed it to the right and it went past it to hit the batter's eye http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v34597371/sfmia-stantons-solo-blast-puts-marlins-on-board EDIT: 466 ft. according to hit tracker

    I hate that the White Sox are always in on the Cuban players. With Ramirez, Viciedo, and Abreu on their major league squad, I imagine they are a desirable target for other Cubans entering the market, and it immediately gives them an advantage to entice them to sign with them.

    He'll be the Ben Zobrist that Junior Lake has miserably failed to become

    That Griffey SNES game was the best. If you use an emulator to play old SNES games, they actually created a Griffey Jr. Game Editor where you can create you own characters and customize rosters and such. Much like the Tecmo Super Bowl editor

    http://i.imgur.com/BVzQk.gif Get on the train, davell. Actually if Soler stays healthy the rest of the year, I don't see it either.

    Price in on pace for 251 innings and 279 K's, he's been pretty damn good But I don't want him. Too expensive, lots of miles, getting older, and injury concerns. If this purely speculative trade were to occur, I'd assume we'd be acquiring, at the very least, Taijuan Walker... and even then I still don't want him because it'd involve moving Russell one would think. I'd rather have him than Walker because Russell can be used to net someone with established value if he's to be dealt. Don't want pitching prospects for our top hitting prospects.
