He should have taken the Yankees money a few years ago.

Why? He made more money going back to college.

But now he has to pitch for the Pirates.

Brodeur · 08-16-2011, 11:49 AM

At least this way he doesn't have to deal with having the world's most overrated future DH.

Haha. I don't think he would have had to.

We should just have 30 Yankees teams then.

Who would have thought that Ellsbury would have more HR at this point in the season that Gonzalez...

sbh15 · 08-16-2011, 01:07 PM

seems like Gonzo hasn't homered in a long ass time

ElectricEye · 08-16-2011, 01:10 PM

It's been awhile. He's having a hard time getting balls over the green monster. Lot's of high wallball doubles, not many homeruns. He hasn't been making hard contact this month either :/

ElectricEye · 08-16-2011, 01:17 PM

Lester has been pretty filthy today...but he's getting an extra inch on the outside for sure.

.

so did KC.IIRC before the Starling signing we spent arounf $10 million so overall we spent 17.5 million the draft and that's not including international FA's

Shields is too... It seems only to be a problem for the lefties though.

Just saw this a while ago.

So apparently the PTBNL was actually a PTBNT (player to be named Tuesday). Lester Oliveros goes from the #Tigers to the Twins.

Xiomera · 08-16-2011, 01:50 PM

I'm going to the Tigers-Twins game tonight.

Verlander is on the mound. Duh Duh Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ElectricEye · 08-16-2011, 02:33 PM

Pedroia is just unfair defensively.

I would of taken (in no particular order) Bauer, Bundy, Rendon, and Starling over Hultzen. Hultzen v Bradley would be a toughie for me because of Bradley's ceiling.

So instead they give Hutlzen the most money of any pick this year, despite being concerned over signing Starling? I'd take Rendon in a heartbeat over Hutlzen.

I think they were worried about Starling playing football but i might be wrong there. I just didnt see it with Rendon and actually like the potential of Alex Liddi who is hitting well at Tacoma.

Jack Z seems to be good at recognizing pitching and it seems they werent infatuated with 3/5ths of their rotation (Bedard,Fitzer and Vargas) therefore i dont have a problem with a pitcher with their pick.

Brodeur · 08-16-2011, 03:35 PM

Liddi is not going to be playing third for long.

BREAKING: Giants place OF Carlos Beltran on DL with right hand strain.

RIP season

Giantsfan1080 · 08-16-2011, 04:39 PM

Thanks for Wheeler and thank you Beltran for staying healthy finally and hitting for 4 months so we can deal you for a top prospect.

hawkeye123 · 08-16-2011, 04:40 PM

Jesus ***** now Nate Shierholtz is hurt. This is going from bad to worse to a ******* disaster. Our 5 best hitters in an already ****** hitting team are out.

I don't see how were gonna be able to compete in any game when your best hitter is Aarond ******* Rowand.

Hopefully we can call up Surkamp and Brown for some experience.

hawkeye123 · 08-16-2011, 04:54 PM

I take that comment about Aarond Rowand back: He's out too now. And so is Jeff Keppinger.
