Moreno on Mitchell Report: "There's going to be names"
Outshined_One replied to xecuter83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Quite the contrary; Castillo is one of the NFL's biggest spokesman to the Latino community. The double standard for PED use in baseball and football is laughable and arbitrary. I'll never be able to understand why it's a career-staining and career-ending thing in baseball, but in football, people simply don't give a crap. -
Sounds like he got it from the same source we did. I'm not believing anything until I get confirmation from a more reliable source.
-
Unfortunately, at the rate the Vets are voting, Ron Santo might claim that title. Apparently they retooled the Veterans' Committee. I think this year is Ron Santo's best chance to get elected.
-
He has officially signed so the Cubs get the pick? Yep! :D
-
I'd also like to point out how favorable this contract is compared to the ones handed out to Linebrink and Cordero. Well done, Jimbo.
-
Terrific news! :D
-
Ned Colletti says "Hey, how's it goin?" I repeat...Brian Sabean says "Wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzuuuuuupppppppp" Wayne Krivsky waves anxiously as he introduces Francisco Cordero Jim Bowden would respond to this post, but he's still serving time for a DUI.
-
Oddly enough, they'd have one of the best claims in the nation to the #2 spot if they hadn't screwed up against Tennessee. Virginia Tech probably would have the strongest case if they win out. Their only two losses have been a blowout to LSU and a close one to BC.
-
I'd go with Oklahoma (ugh) or the ACC Champion (your call from Boston College, Virginia Tech, and Virginia). If it's Hawaii, I think there would be riots.
-
I'd give it to him. He'll be able to get more per year on the open market.
-
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Oooooooooooo...good call. I forgot about that lovable attribute of Baker. Who will take the Will Ohman/Cliff Bartosh role of "did the team bus take off without him again?" role with the Reds?
-
I forgot how much I hated Gary Crowton. GO HOGS!
-
Rosenthal says it's a done deal:
-
That I disagree with this statement is a testament to just how bad this deal is. More than twice as much as Pierre's deal. Simply brutal. but Pierre is less than 1/2 the player Hunter is, which is saying a lot Indeed, but I wouldn't count on Hunter to continue to maintain his defense and ability to hit for power unless he utilizes other means as he gets older.
-
Yeah, but for 3 more years than Hunter, and he'll make $19M in those years, and he'll be old. Indeed, but I'm getting the feeling that Soriano's contract will become more and more tolerable as the years go on in terms of money if these kinds of contracts become the norm.
-
Please sign him Wade! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
-
For those of you wondering, Soriano's getting paid $1m less per year than Hunter.
-
Reportedly, the deal is worth $80m. :shock: He's getting paid an average of 16 million wingwangs a year!!!!!!!!!
-
I...really have no idea. You can supply some sort of vague justification for some of the more questionable moves this summer, but this one just doesn't make any sense. Hunter supplies more power, but Matthews is more patient. Overall, Hunter's a slightly better hitter than Matthews...who isn't a very good hitter in the first place. Neither has the kind of bat that justifies starting either at a corner OF spot.
-
Could be, sure. But, I don't see the Marlins being very willing to pony up the cash he's due for the rest of his contract.
-
Don't they already have Gary Matthews Jr.? What the eff?
-
White Sox sign Scott Linebrink

Source? And 4 years? Wow. Just...wow. -
