Man, so many problems...

Fielder won't be a Marlin, they already have Gaby Sanchez or Logan Morrison to play first. Reyes won't go to the Red Sox, their problem is pitching not hitting. Shields isn't even a free agent, so that's a bit weird...

Also, Reyes won't be an Angel either. They have Aybar/Izturis at short, and that isn't their problem either. It'll probably come down to the Giants and Mets, maybe even the Blue Jays if he's willing to go to second.

If that's a Chasing Amy reference, then I'll take it.

It was a combo Chasing Amy and Parks thing.

Since I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and my facial hair is out of control, I'll go with the Chasing Amy thing for now.

John Danks... I remember when the Rangers traded Danks for Brandon McCarthy. :/

McCarthy looked great this year in Oakland.

Yeah, he looked pretty good. He had plenty of chances in Texas and never put it together. No love lost.

I hated the Danks trade from the start.

FUN QUESTION: What's gonna happen in 2012 that will make your team better?

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 :).

I'm officially endorsing the Brew Crew.

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.

That would be my guess too. Prince lives in Florida too.

The Brewers could make a play for Reyes also, they've been known to have interest in him.

Fielders re-signs.

So it's the battle of the beers in NLCS.

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.

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.

I like this tweet! :)
