I am sure this was a way to sting the Iowa offense this year, but funny non the less
Honestly, I don't think you trade Rizzo at this point. I know there is no such thing as "untouchable" but guys like Rizzo/Castro are about as close as it comes. However, I think if you can get...
Not a horrible idea, might be worth taking a flier on if we have the space on the 40 man
I haven't noticed any real difficulty hitting in this one, of course, there are always slider options. I usually play around with those until I find a decent mix (i.e. Barney isn't hitting 50hrs a...
I could honestly see this working, even without getting rid of Soriano. Look at it like this, Soriano is going to need (and probably could have used) more time off if he stays. He is getting older,...
Just curious, but how can you feel bad for the guy... I mean, there is nothing making him make stupid decisions. He was never able to learn a lesson... now that he is facing jail time, maybe that...

Slow news, found this, chuckled... thought I would share. Looks like Milton is...
I thought I read somewhere that the Cubs were kicking the tires on Marcum, any chance that they could go after both?
I have a feeling that we may already be in contact with their agents. I know we aren't happy with the rotation going forward, but would either of those be guys we could sign long term (as an option...
or, maybe, just maybe, he actually was capable of what he was showing in BP, but when it came time on the field, he just didn't have enough in him. Look at people with back pain (I can speak on this...
Another thing people are overlooking is that there are still some pretty interesting people that are still out there that while they may not be as flashy as a Grienke or Hamilton, would fit into our...
I figured this would be the case when we missed out on Chavez. Not a horrible signing, and if it was his wrist that was the problem... well, its better than seeing Valbuena everyday.

not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but buying low on Jurjans if he is released seems like it could be...
I think you are right on the money here. I haven't seen him pitch much, but pitching in Texas can't be easy, and maybe a little help from the right coach, and knowing you are going to be starting...
With the right moves, we could be "competitive" next year, but I wouldn't pencil us in any higher than 3rd (and that is a stretch). We just have too many holes to fill in one off season, and we don't...
ATBY and Marlon do, they have confirmed (just not who the sources are), not sure about ABE, but he is usually pretty close
wow, we are picking up just about any pitcher placed on waivers... it wouldn't surprise me if we haven't tried to claim one of our own waived players...
In unrelated news, Ken's manager has announced he will also go to free agency and will immediately sign with the rival team of Ryu... :cool:
I think it has to be by close of business, like the trade deadline. Not totally sure though
That would be sick, especially depending on who/what we send to the Angles in a deal to pick up Haren. If we leave enough cash in the cage, we could easily go after another arm (a Dempster type) and...
Rusin should still maybe be a 7, but he could use a little more seasoning. He is never going to be a big name in a rotation, but I think he could hold his own as a Marquis type innings eater
An interesting point to this is that if we sign Upton, do we immediately start shopping Jackson? I know that his initial call up wasn't ground breaking, but I am pretty sure most teams would still...
Everyone complaining about the front office not delivering so far, let me remind you of a couple of points:
1. Our front office wasn't completely solidified going into last off season. Theo still...
I could see this deal happening, and depending on the money/players changing hands, it could be a very good deal. If we go after a Marcum/Dempster type signing as well, then we have a pretty solid...
