    If Jeff Mathis gets railroaded and his leg gets hurt, people go on with their daily lives not giving a crap. Just another part of the game. But since it's Buster Posey the Wunderkind, we need rule changes? No one was calling for a change when Kalish slid into Carlos Santana's leg last year, and that impact looked like a much more blatant attempt at causing injury than this one did. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=10553045 It's part of the game. Always has been, always will be. End of story. I do feel really bad for Buster Posey's agent, though, since his big pay day is going to be delayed a bit now. That's what's keeping me awake at night.

    Don't they realize the Dodgers have no money? http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/news/story?id=6584013

    Vitters and Barney for Wright. I'd throw in more, but that's as far as I go for someone who isn't a superstar.

    He says "double-o-kay". They kind of look like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Rk6GBqQuP1E/Smai1LwJy5I/AAAAAAAAEEE/LVV1fgs1x3M/s400/OK-Fingers.gif

    Rarely will Tampa trade a productive player, but they usually dont have a problem letting FAs walk. Garza Randy Wells is better. Better at what? Being injured LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Whatever, I totally called his latissimus dorsi completely separating itself from bone 2 years ago. The writing was on the wall MMMAAAAAAANNNNNN

    Shocker

    The guy has posted an OPS+ over 100 three times in 15 seasons... and the part about his game that made him appealing (speed & defense) has more than likely gone the way of the dinosaur. We don't need him. Baker and DeWitt will do just fine compared to Castillo

    There's 5 of them listed on Baseball Reference. Many failed players become coaches. And believe it or not, there are people in this world who share the same name. I apologize for not brushing up on my Atlanta Braves minor league managerial trivia before asking such an absurd question

    I like how whenever an athlete gets injured doing something pedestrian or normal that everyone else on the planet takes for granted, the moment they get injured the chicken little's of the world are up in arms over it. Who breaks a rib playing basketball? Who gets a sore wrist chatting with their family online? Who slips out of a hot tub? Who breaks their toe hopping over a fence? Who cuts their own finger off?

    Is this the same Luis Salazar that played for the Cubs in the early 90's? Just reading about this made me uneasy. That's awful.
  20. Clem Fandango
    Some news reports I've seen said he was in the 90's at least. Probably low 90's, but that's still good for him

    I am kind of perplexed at the constant rumors of them shopping Liriano. I know his value is at his highest and perhaps they don't feel his health will hold up, but they are front runners in that division if Morneau is healthy and Nathan's arm is healed. Trading away your best starter for building blocks seems like a step in the wrong direction. Considering he's under control through 2012, they don't need to trade him at all. It's kind of odd. What would be a comparable package of Nova/Chamberlain and "other pieces" for the Cubs?

    http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6164805 He was 84. R.I.P. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/snidedu01.shtml

    Youkilis isn't playing out of position at third base, he's played nearly half his professional career as a third baseman. Between the majors and minors he's played 559 games at 3B. He's played 634 at first. And IIRC, when he came up through the system his defense at third base was considered to be top-tier quality defense. Youkilis + Gonzalez > Youkilis + Beltre. EDIT: Also I find it very Chicken Little-ish that Papelbon was one of the most dominating relievers over the previous 5 years, but he has one less than stellar year and already the team, media, and fans are calling for him to be traded, cut, whatever. His ERA+ prior to last season was 255. He put up a 112 ERA+ last season which is still above average. Not up to snuff with his previous numbers, but still not atrocious, but I find it odd that people are ready to give up on him despite being an incredible closer the previous 4 seasons. Yeah, he costs a lot of money, but that's the price you pay, and if he bounces back then it makes the large payment a little easier to swallow.

    Extend Paul Konerko again

    Thank God. Now I can continue to love him unconditionally
