QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Every team except Reds, Braves, Cubs, and Royals? Brewers have Adam Lind. Phillies still paying lots to Howard.

How bout them Mizzou Tigers?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Because Kang was WAY underpriced because of the uncertiainty of how he would make it in MLB> Kang paved the way a little but there's still a massive uncertainty here too.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) A couple baseball insiders have estimated his potential contract around 5/$40M on top of the $12M bid. Maybe they're a bit high (my guess is he'll get less than that), but we're looking at a lot more than $3M per year all-in. Kang got 2.5 for 4. I don't know why you'd offer him a lot more than that. If he asks for 40 million, tell him he can go back to Korea, lol.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:08 PM) Sign someone to big bucks and play them out of position? No thanks. I imagine hell make like 3 million. Not really big bucks. Obviously the posting fee adds a decent amount but it's still not really gonna be big bucks.

Meh. Greg is mostly right. Cespedes work ethic was always questioned in Oakland. His performance never really matched the talent til he neared free agency. Now that he'll be settled in for good I could definitely see him busting hard.

Yeah Goodell is pretty much powerless.

Meltzer says Mania plans got f***ed up. Plans were Brock/Rock, Seth/HHH, Roman/Dean. Face HHH/Seth would have been for the belt

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) They're really short on top heels right now. Who could even be a transitional champ right now if you don't want to put it on Reigns? I guess Ambrose winning the tourney and Reigns turning on him would be a pretty fun story, doubt they do that though. Don't you dare be souuur...

Yeah giving the title to a face Reigns doesn't make sense right now. Only way to make him a compelling face is to have him chase the title, come up short a few times before going over at Mania. That seemed to be the plan. A heel turn would be good though. Maybe screwing over Ambrose en route to the title.

Title has been vacated.

Torn meniscus. Out 6-9 months.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) How? House show https://twitter.com/thewadekeller/status/662051650090041345

Neither of the first two Craig Bonds did that number. Though the last one did nearly double it.

Early rumors Seth tore up his right knee :/

He's right

Can't believe they're releasing Starcraft 2 LotV on November 10th. Basically the 2 biggest pc releases of the year on the same day. Ugh.

I don't see how we could bring him back unless it's a 2 year deal.

But he is mostly right. It is stupid to do. Would be so much cleaner to just can Robin, but whatever. Parent was rumored to be fired because he was gunning for Robin's job and now we're setting ourselves to be in the exact same situation.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Mania tickets purchased. Section 240, row 5, whatever the hell that means. Jealous. If I can find someone who'd want to fly down with me I'm going to go for sure.

http://sandraacta.com/web/index.php/compon...puesto-de-coach It's in spanish. But they interviewed him yesterday presumably for the bench coach job. He also has another offer, but I don't believe it mentions from who.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) Good point. The only players there I've even heard of are Featherston and Graham. Herrera was better than everyone in the draft combined.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 08:29 AM) Some people think MLB is the worst, some think NFL. Gee, what's the common thread there . . . Fox?

Funny everyone mentiones the Rangers. The lost out in the rule 5 last year because they lost Herrera who put up a 4 war last year. Canha, Herrera, Deshields and Gilmartin from last year's draft are all proof you can find good players there.

Six open spots and a bunch of crap at the end of the 34 on the list. We're in a good spot to protect whoever. Leury Garcia would be my first on the chopping block. Don't see the need for him with Johnson, Saladino, and Sanchez going for roster spots. Carroll even has more value at this point. Smith probably could be dfa'd as mentioned. Tago, Phillips, Wendelken and Jaye should all definitely be protected since we'll have the room.
