Whitewashed in '05 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) I agree. I don't want to trade Sale, but we'd get quite the haul for him if we ever did. And how many of those "can't miss" prospects live up to their potential?

cabiness42 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/major-...p;vkey=news_mlb LOS ANGELES -- There was only one umpiring crew working Monday night when word of Wally Bell's death circulated, which made the ensuing hours very difficult, especially for six members of a very tight umpiring fraternity. Bell, a veteran umpire with 21 years of Major League experience, reportedly suffered a massive heart attack on Monday in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio. He was 48. Bell joined the NL staff in 1993 and umpired three All-Star Games (1997, 2000, 2013), seven Division Series (1998-99, '03-04, '06, '12-13), four League Championship Series (2000, '01, '05, '10) and the 2006 World Series, when he was behind the plate for Game 3 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Bell was the first-base umpire in the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York and most recently was a member of the crew that worked this year's NL Division Series between the Pirates and Cardinals.

Jake Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 03:27 PM) I know you're kidding but what about Kershaw, Scherzer, Grienke, Ryu.... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/10/tige...his-winter.html Signing him will be problematic QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) Scherzer, Hunter, and VMart all hit FA that year, the Tigers have $90 million already committed to 2015 just for 4 guys, and Doug pFister and Austin Jackson will be in their 3rd Arb years in 2015 and will probably cost $10 million+ each that year as well. The only way they can stay out of long-term financial trouble is if their owner is willing to continue losing money. Yep. VMart and Hunter will be gone for sure (Torii will retire, I assume). Scherzer is looking like a potential $150-200 million guy and we may see Verlander turn into a complete albatross by this time. Miguel will be in the final year of his deal as well and they'll have to gear up for giving him a Pujols-esque contract. Meanwhile, like you said, those two other guys will be expensive and also a year away from FA. And don't forget that this year they're (potentially) losing Peralta, Infante, Benoit to FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
