  1. Rannnndom... http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgersnow/la-sp-dn-dodgers-mark-mcgwire-coach-20121102,0,2625981.story
  2. Could just be smoke, but would be awesome if true, if that's all it took (+ money, I'd assume) Not a weird source. He works for one of the top papers in the Dominican. Well then nevermind then :)
  3. I have to assume he's in the bounceback-and-trade category of acquisitions. In terms of guys like that, Haren was probably the best one on the market. Not only can he net us a big return, but it means it's one less guy like Joe Blanton we don't need to get for this season.
  4. Weird source, but Brett picked it up as well... http://www.bleachernation.com/2012/11/02/carlos-marmol-may-have-been-traded-to-the-angles-and-it-may-be-for-dan-haren/ Could just be smoke, but would be awesome if true, if that's all it took (+ money, I'd assume)
  5. Beyond the Box Score did a really nice write up on Haren and his history vs. his poor 2012 today... http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2012/11/2/3586780/dan-haren-pitchfx-analysis-sabermetrics
  6. Any interest in Nyjer Morgan and his multiple personality disorder? He always seems to be great his first season with a new team. [expletive] no
  7. Who the hell high-fived him so hard he broke his thumb? Off with this head!!!!!

  9. Not really news, but MLBTR released a Top 50 FA list and predictions on where they'll land. Only one they predicted the Cubs will get is Marcum... Also had the Cubs as possible interested parties on Francisco Liriano, Carlos Villanueva, Joe Blanton, and Jeremy Guthrie. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/10/2013-top-50-free-agents-with-predictions-1.html
  10. That seemed really curious so I looked to see if I could find an answer elsewhere. According to the comments at MLBTR So they made it non-guaranteed money in case they want to dump him
  11. Call me crazy, I didn't pick it out either. I mean he sounded out his S's slightly longer than others, is that what you're all talking about? It wasn't THAT bad.
  12. Hahaha, that is really picky Or intentionally obtuse, one or the other.
  13. Can't help it. I like his dugout antics. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcr5rrywt41qisz8co1_500.gif His interviews are annoying though.
  14. Joakim Soria's option was declined. Good target for the Cubs?
  15. Well... alright then. http://i.imgur.com/n1Afo.gif
  16. Teams can trade their IFA budget money? Didn't know that.
  17. Talk of Barney winning the Gold Glove over in the Barney thread... here's the others: American League C: Matt Wieters, BAL (2nd award) 1B: Mark Teixeira, NYY (5) 2B: Robinson Cano, NYY (2) 3B: Adrian Beltre, TEX (4) SS: J.J. Hardy, BAL (1) LF: Alex Gordon, KC (2) CF: Adam Jones, BAL (2) RF: Josh Reddick, OAK (1) P: Tie: Jeremy Hellickson, TB (1); Jake Peavy, CWS (1) National League C: Yadier Molina, STL (5) 1B: Adam LaRoche, WAS (1) 2B: Darwin Barney, CHC (1) 3B: Chase Headley, SD (1) SS: Jimmy Rollins, PHI (4) LF: Carlos Gonzalez, COL (2) CF: Andrew McCutchen, PIT (1) RF: Jason Heyward, ATL (1) P: Mark Buehrle, MIA (4)
  18. Brandon League just resigned with the Dodgers. Was hoping he would be a reliever looked at to help the Cubs bullpen woes.
  19. I don't see a player giving up their ability to control who they decide to play for based on who is interested in signing them. If a guy like Marcum has X amount of teams interested in signing him, and is only willing to play for Y amount of teams, I don't see why he would sign a deal that would allow him to be traded to a team that isn't X or Y. I guess it comes down to whether or not the player is willing to play anywhere for more money. I can't imagine they'd sign a similar deal only to allow themselves to be traded immediately. If Marcum would want to play for the Royals, and the Royals want Marcum, why wouldn't the Royals just sign Marcum and keep their prospects?
  20. Wouldn't that be a strict violation of the CBA?
  21. Some of the comments are THE WORST
  22. When the D-Backs won the world series in 2001 didn't he also make a snarky comment at the Cubs for not keeping him around?
  23. Darwin Barney won the fielding bible award for best defensive 2B, FWIW http://www.billjamesonline.com/the_2012_fielding_bible_awards_/
