Fielders re-signs.

It would be great if the Brewers stepped up with a great offer for him to stay. I just have a hard time believing that they would with history being against that.

Dodgers having an owner who can actually support the team, leading to better player, more motivated players, more motivated fans, which will lead to more wins :).

Hah more motivated fans. Getting there before the 7th inning is sooooo lame. Also, I will bet my soul that the Marlins don't sign Fielder.

#mlb Rival teams are predicting that the #Rangers will be the winners in the Darvish derby, with every scout predicting stardom.

Probably another high end pitcher and MUCH better DH production. Although Jorge wasn't terrible the second half of the year batting left handed. I still think we were bottom 3 in the AL in DH production.

Montero needs to get more AB's I have him in our keeper league. I want a reason to keep him.

Really? Because I've seen more than a few people say he's a 2/3 at best.

I'd say he's a very good 2, more than likely. I want the Tigers to get involved, but hoping he doesn't get a Dice-K type deal.

They tried to re-sign him again last year but they simply can't afford to shell out the $20-25 million per year that he's going to get. Its the same thing when we offered Sabathia $100 million only to lose out by $62 million.

Thats why its refreshing to see a guy like Ryan Braun sign long term. He could've made a ton of money but settled for alot of money instead.

I think we're going to make one last ditch effort to keep Prince but we all know and he knows its not going to be enough.

But thats $10/year off the books for us which help lure a Jose Reyes over.

I think Verlander is gonna dominate tonight.

7+ innings, 2 ER or less.

Is that really asking much? I mean he does it every time he goes out for the most part haha.

Reyes is going to be a Met or a Giant.

Anaheim also.

Anyone want Austin Jackson?

Anyone want Austin Jackson?

He'd be a good fit for us. Harvey, Wheeler, and Familia for him?

That was in anger for him dropping a flyout.
