Can't wait till it's legalized so we can stop talking about prospects getting suspended and having their careers ruined for something insignificant.

Alcohol is more physically damaging and...

Funny how Salty was the can't miss all star that missed and yet Texas still won big because they ended up with Andrus, Feliz and Harrison.

This deal is a fantastic one for the rangers. I'd take Harrison over Annibal Sanchez any day and Sanchez got much much more on his 5 year deal on the open market.

^^Okay we're on the same page. I still consider Oliver retiring a losing situation under the assumption he would rather play (just not at the contract terms he signed). But yes I could have worded...

I think people stopped reading my post before the last sentence :facepalm:

What pisses me off the most is not that Oliver wants more then what he signed a contract for, or that he would rather play in Texas then Toronto for the same contract, it's that he made it very...

I"d love to do Oliver + Lind for Morse. Let the Nats pay Oliver what he wants and get a bat for the bench to replace Morse. Would they do this? Probably not...Lind and Morse make the same money.

Even though I said I wanted to trade Buerhle in my post here it's because he would be a sweetener to get Bauer. I get the impression from a lot of people here that Buerhle has negative value because...

Only thing I would have done differently is found a way to keep Hech out of the Miami deal and ship him and Buerhle to Arizona for Bauer. Bauer essentially got dealt for a very similar SS to Hech in...

It's a dirty move. He asked for a front-loaded contract and wants to get more out of it now that it is well below market value. I'm sure the contract that Affeldt signed didn't help the situation. ...

^^just want to emphasize the "as it stands now today" and "on paper" part of my last sentence.

So many things wrong with this I don't know where to start

I'll try anyways

Dickey is not a Fly ball pitcher even though he throws the knuckler
he has a 55% GB rate, that is an extreme ground...

Happy New Years!!!!

I actually like them quite a bit. As someone already said, it also appeals to non-jays fans. If there's one gripe I wish the maple leaf was a little bit smaller. I think it's a pretty cool hat and...

A solid deal for Cleveland. Reasonable years at a reasonable annual salary. This is the type of contract you get for a player like Swisher in an extension a year away from free agency, not as a...

I'm surprised the White Sox rotation hasn't gotten any mention. They aren't the best or top 3, but they are a lot better then people give them credit for and are a fringe top 5. Any rotation led...

We need Lance Berkman. That's the only guy we can get (potentially) on the cheap that has the pedigree to bat in between Bats and EE. The fact that it adds yet another switch hitter to our lineup...

I would LOVE to get either Berkman or Morneau. At this point Berkman seems like the much better chance to even happen considering Morneau makes 15 million and Berkman might be had for 5 (if he moves...

It's an overpay. Or maybe it's in line with the outrageous resources needed to secure a top tier pitcher through free agency or trade. I'm holding out hope that the Mets prospect coming back is...

Also Desmond Jennings has an extra year of seasoning which is no small factor. He's Tampa's version of Lawrie, and I know we are all expecting more of Lawrie this year.

The impact on the Jays is that there is no way we get R.A. Dickey for anything close to a reasonable package - which means we don't get him at all.

Short-term this might weaken Tampa, but they...

I think contract length is a huge huge parameter of payroll that AA is working with. There's a world of difference in paying someone 4 years at top dollar compared to paying him at 7,8,9. AA has...

Absolutely. Using Boston's famous collapse is a really bad analogy. First of all it's called the biggest regular season collapse for a reason. Second of all they were in it for the entire season,...

^I really wish you were actually Sandy Alderson.
