  1. Looking at their future payroll there really is not a reason that if they sign 1 they shouldn't be aggressive on both...
  2. Those were memorial day uniforms. The Orioles in a dark color which would explain a standard black glove which by the way the Rawlings looks to be orange...
  3. Well ya black and orange wouldn't match those uniforms... lol. Manny definitely rides with the look good feel good, feel good play good mentality ha
  4. Hey I understand not getting your hopes up but when you see with the Orioles his gloves were black n orange, in the WBC his gloves were red white and blue and these particular set of gloves are the color scheme of exactly 1 team and that 1 team has been linked to him and the favorite all off-season sorry that screams spoiler alert
  5. Dude look up pictures of MAchado and how many different gloves he has used. I'm with you in that some hell maybe even a lot of guys refuse to change gloves until they have to, in his case its not true.
  6. Wait where's the exchange? What did I miss? lol
  7. I read somewhere that the NFL has a 3% cap, NBA is 3-15% but more often than not around 4% and as far as MLB and the NHL there is no cap but I would assume it falls in line with that of the NFL and NBA so probably 3-5%
  8. People have said it about other tweets in the past but this one totally feels like Camp Machado's last stand to squeeze every dollar out from the Sox before signing. Leak a Yankees offer to put a scare into HAhn
  9. I'll be honest i'll have no recollection of ya...
  10. Not to be that guy but teachers truly are a dime a dozen whereas athletes like AD, Butler, Machado and Harper are the elite of the elite.
  11. No. If you don't get either Harper or Machado then I don't want any more moves
  12. If Hahn and company truly feel they have MAchado and signing Gio as well trading for Joc are dependant on that then I say fuck it make those moves now.
  13. People can b****, moan and complain all they want about pitching changes and shifts and whatever but the bottom line in intrigue will always win. If you're interested you will watch whether its a 2hr game or 5. I hate to always reference wrestling but it applies here as well. WWE in the last couple years when it comes to their 4 big shows (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Summer Slam and Survivior Series) have put on Marathon Shows. Which is basically 4-5 hours plus a 2 hour pre-show opposed to the standard "PPV" events going 2 3/4-3 hours with a 1 hour pregame show. A lot of fans truly don't enjoy the marathon shows and prefer them staying around 3 hours. Yet when New JApan Pro Wrestling has their huge events they also are 4-5 marathon shows yet you never really hear complaints. Why? The NJPW product is so much better than WWE right now.The NJPW shows fly by whereas the WWE shows almost feels like work at this point. What i'm trying to get at is baseball needs the intrigue as well as marketable legit superstars. I don't know how to make ball players more popular and pop culture sensations. As far as intrigue perhaps expanding playoffs by 1 team per league combined with re-alignment into 4 divisions and using some of the NHL's playoff format would work. Thinking maybe each division winner gets a bye and the 2nd and 3rd place team play a 2 day, 3 game series. The 2nd place team has the option they can either host game 1 (to presumably get a quick advantage) or games 2 and 3 ( 2>1 mindset.) This also gives the division winner more of an advantage making the regular season much more important. Now you're probably thinking thats a lot of potential travel in 2 days. Thats where re-alignment comes in. Make it as much regionalized as possible. 4 8-team divisions (assuming expansion in Montreal and Nashville?) The potential for better and bitter rivalries are there and rivalries just mean more money not to mention there should be less travel as well. Remain at a 162 game season. The 162 is broken down as such: --- Interleague 24 games -alternate other leagues divisions each year. for a 3 game set. every other year you see every team and every city is guaranteed to host every other team once every 4 years --- Intraleague- 48 games- You play each team in the other division for a home and away 3 games each ---Division - 90 games- You play 6 of the teams in your division 13 times and 1 team 12. You can expand the season to 163 games so you play each division team 13x ALIGNMENT Division 1: Sox, Cubs, STL, KC, MIL, MIN, CLE, CIN Division 2: NYY, NYM, Bos, Tor, MON, Phi, PIT, Det Division 3: SF, LAD, OAK, LAA, SD, SEA, Col, Ari Division 4: TB, Mia, ATL, Was, Bal, Hou, Tex, NAS Yes I know Division 4 is a little spread out but the best I could do.
  14. I wouldn't expect anything until next wednesday at the earliest because of the super bowl
  15. Too cold to leave the house, xbox is having a major issue so I can't game, please God let Manny or Harper sign so I can occupy my time with something...
  16. My only complaint, and it's not even on this board, is Garfein. He works for the Sox right? I feel he's giving off the impression it's a done deal.
  17. That's a terrible deal for both the team and Machado...
  18. The only question i'll ask is has the name been mentioned this offseason in rumors or is it a new name?
  19. Thank god for the royal rumble being tonight to occupy my time with for 6-7 hours instead of Manny
  20. Someone who is smart and knows this shit based on the tax differences beween Illinois and California what would SD have pay to match the offers of 7/210 and 8/250?
