If the power doesn't come back, Ramirez won't get 1Y/6M. He's looking at 2 consecutive seasons of below average offensive production with below average defense. -
The franchise is located in one of the top 3 media markets in the country, and nobody cares about our competition in the market. The franchise is in serious trouble only if they keep making stupid mistakes.

The Diamondbacks do not have a "chance to win." Were they a properly rebuilt team when they were 17-23 two weeks ago?
-
Wells being a converted catcher is a point in his favor. Less miles on his arm. You're acting like the conversion happened last spring. He started full-time pitching in '04, throwing ~107 innings between starting and pen per year in '04 and '05. '06 he amped up to ~130. '07-'08 his development was slowed by moving to the pen, and being drafted in Rule 5. (Threw ~125 in '08) '09 he jumps to 190 without incident. '10 he throws 195. Please show me how this makes him liable to be injured (anymore than the average pitcher.)

Why would the Cubs pick up Aramis's option rather than declining it and re-signing him for about 10M less?
-
Yep, that's the plan. Sign Pujols and go with Reed Johnson in CF, Brad Snyder in RF, and Bobby Scales at 3B.

So you're going to keep saying within limits without actually saying what that means then. I don't care enough to define the parameters. I'm just saying that the more rules you pile on these players, the more likely there will be rules broken What if we didn't call them rules? What if we called them "limits"
-
As long as the car was within limits
-
What are these 4-5 absurd contracts?
-
No sacrifice is credited when the play would have been made at third if it were not for the error. They ruled the play wouldn't have been made.
-
Gotta correct you Fred, that goes as a sacrifice for Colvin, not a simple FC.
-
I had no idea that Dayton Ohio's Tony Campana had cancer as a child.

If you want players paid, just say it. There's no need to go through some roundabout 3rd party mechanisms to put money in their hands from most likely shady characters.
-
What are the "logical limits?" Unless all memorabilia sales have to go through a pre-approved middle man, then you have tattoo artists valuing Pryor's gold pants at 300K and the backup kicker's at 10 bucks. If you go through an NCAA-approved middle man, how is that any different than giving them a paycheck?

You see how your own fans treat you Albert??? There's St. Louis loyalty for you!!!
-
Jay Jackson broke team rules and got into a pissing match with one of the Smokies' coaches. That demotion was a far more appropriate punishment. Was the move to the bullpen a punishment to, because that went [expletive] swimmingly.
-
Yeah, I don't like that at all. I understand the minors are for teaching, but you can have a teaching moment without sending him down.
-
Hopefully it's more of a 'drop ticket prices' set of moves than a 'desperation to boost attendance' set of moves. Wait what?
-
Salvation lies within Mr. Pryor.
-
Now do one with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.
-
This one seems too forced. It's been pretty forced for the last month or so.
-
I'd say Jordan was Lebronesque. Yes, he transcends time and space.
-
But our offense is so inconsistent!! And we average like negative 0.1 runs per bases loaded opportunity!
