    I want my power infield, damnit!

    That's a site that has been known about for quite some time now, but that doesn't stop it from being a good time killer

    Can anyone with a good grasp on arbitration raises give a quick and dirty estimation on the raises the Cubs might be doling out this offseason?

    Considering it's the Marlins, I take it at face value, but...

    Ahh yeah that's right. Nevermind

    Yes, please. http://i.imgur.com/mCPIs.gif

    Wouldn't the park factors also help temper some excitement of big numbers in hitters leagues/pitchers leagues?

    God, Jesse Rogers sucks. Let's just get it over with and hire Henry Blanco already. It's obvious that no bat, all defense catchers as managers is the new market inefficiency, so let's just put the nail in this coffin and drive it on home.

    This is absolutely dreadful writing, but if you're bored... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9893959/mlb-winter-forecast-teams-national-league-central I like at the end it says "Chad Dotson runs Redleg Nation, a blog covering the Reds." Good thing they let him cover the whole division.

    Also thought you guys should know that this movie exists:

    Oh [expletive] you, Dodgers... The line about not giving up a draft pick makes no sense to me. They'd prefer to keep a draft pick vs. giving up multiple established, talented, and developing minor leaguers? This is from Peter Gammons, so...

    It's still ridiculous and awesome. A buddy of mine makes spiral bound notebooks out of old VHS boxes and computer paper. I'm staring at my UHF notebook right now

    Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?

    If Texas didn't outbid everyone by $25 million it probably wouldn't be that much. Let's all blame Texas. You know, so we feel better about the whole thing. Yeah?

    Uh, the value would have been incredibly high. Yup. The whole one of Miller or Martinez being fair thing? It'd take more than both of them had he stayed the course/progressed a bit, IMO. At that point you've got a still developing 24-year old AS caliber SS signed to a very team friendly deal through 2019. I'm split on whether or not to trade Castro now. I think he's more than capable of bouncing back, but if someone is willing to overlook and pay the kind of value he would've brought at the beginning of the season I'd have trouble looking away. And the only reason I'd consider it is because Baez is so close to the majors. If Baez wasn't in the system I wouldn't even think of it, honestly

    He's as healthy as he has been since then. He also rarely was allowed to go over 90 pitches and still went 6 innings in 13 of his last 22 starts. Saying Scott Kazmir is "as healthy as he has been since then" gives zero assurance that he'll stay that way. His injury history can not be ignored. But like I said, I don't mind him as a target, he still very obviously has the capability of putting up good numbers... I just don't trust his ability to stay healthy, and I never will.
  20. Clem Fandango
    I agree. Castro is signed long term to a fairly team friendly salary, but the other three are super cheap with just as many years of team control and as good of an opportunity to out produce Castro as anyone else.
  21. Clem Fandango
    He's only ever done that twice in his career, and it was early. I'd set his max IP at 170. Not because of health purposes, per se, but because he's never been one to make it deep into ball games. He's more likely to give you 5-6 innings in a good outing than 7-8. That said I don't hate him as a possible target, but he's not really on my radar.
  22. Clem Fandango
    yes The outer wall. Ahh, that makes sense. I figured there would've been more discussion if they were altering field dimensions.
  23. Clem Fandango
    And so begins the offseason...
  24. Clem Fandango
    Well to be fair he wasn't awful for us. His WAR left much to be desired, but he did have a .370 OBP with the team. Just sucks his power didn't translate well. He had a .742 OPS when he was traded, which isn't great, but he completely fell off a cliff after that.
  25. Clem Fandango
    maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but they're moving the OF wall back 15 feet?
