Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

I had a dream last night that the Giants World Series inspired Barrold to go play for the Yomiuri Giants and he hit a billion dingers.

A good dream :unsmith:

It's not like he'll be bad, it's just that Managers can't make a bad team good. They can try real hard to do the opposite though.

Holy poo poo how have I not heard about this until now? Baseball in mid-November with real major leaguers? Yes please.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Major_League_Baseball_Japan_All-Star_Series Man just look at that roster. Puig, Harper, Cano, Pujols, Altuve...

Rockies declined Brett Anderson's option, so he's an FA. Some team is going to gamble that his arm will actually stay attached for a full season and be sad.

Myers for Shields wasn't only straight-up deal Royals tried. KC offered Wil Myers to Oakland for Brett Anderson and were turned down, too.

And Mr. Brandon Morrow!

Also, I don't like that trade! But I can't see how Adam Lind is gonna stay healthy playing 1B nearly everyday with his jacked up back so its a weird trade for both teams.

He's a good enough reliever. He really poo poo the bed last season as a starter, basically giving up all the dingers.

The Brewers are really desperate for 1B production.

Yeah they had nothing on the roster until this trade.

Pumpkin McPastry: Mar 8, 2004; What else do I have to do to impress you people?

I dunno, if they're serious about bringing Aramis Ramirez back they could have just played him at 1B. But yeah, for all the reasons this makes sense for Milwaukee now it reminds us of how bad their failure to do something like this in July was.

# ? Nov 1, 2014 23:05

Darude - Adam Sandstorm: Aug 16, 2012

I get that the Brewers really really need a 1B, but Adam Lind's back is really hosed up.

But combined with Aramis Ramirez knees being made of glass the corner infield will have the range of a snail!

Sounds like the Brewers are going to do the 1B platoon dance.

Playing Ramirez at 3b all year would be insanity.

Does this mean Toronto is going to expand Juan Francisco's role?

I am very very excited to have Morrow's $10million committed to our 5th starter and long reliever!

Anderson's not worth $12M per year if he can't stay healthy. Now if the team can do something about the shortstop they are paying $16M per year that can't stay healthy either.

# ? Nov 2, 2014 00:40

TheIncredulousHulk: Sep 3, 2012

I wonder how much Anderson's going to cost to pick up. Rangers pretty much have to buy at least one mid-low tier FA pitcher and I'd rather take a chance on him than, say, Justin Masterson. At least Anderson might be able to turn in a quality half-season before he explodes and get us to Martin Perez.

BallerBallerDillz: Jun 11, 2009; Cock, Rules, Everything, Around, Me; Scratchmo

Looks like KC declined Butler's option. I know he wasn't great this year but if the Mariners could sign him at a reasonable price, he'd be a huge upgrade over Kendrys loving Morales.
