And if it's true about the length of the meeting, there's no middle road on that, it was great or terrible.

Interesting. I haven't bought into the "Indians aren't moving the pitchers now that they cut some payroll" crap. Their outfield is still pretty horrible, need to figure out how to fix that with no wiggle room.

Right. No Wrigley Field? Bye bye drunk yuppies.

I'm thinking they probably said 16 years cuz that's about when ARod signed with Texas.

Oh yeah, like MLB would ever let them move out of the market. White Sox? They'd help us pack probably, assholes.

Free agency hasn't existed for 60 years so I think you heard that wrong.

I'm sure it was never seriously considered, perhaps only as a ploy to try and convince the city to help. If a team does move to the burbs at some point, you've gotta think it'd be more likely us than them.

If? Not much of a fan of declaratives are we Ron?

Wtf, no Billy Koch!?

Marquis, as in the Jason?

David Wells is about the only one I would say I HATED. Didn't like LaRoche like the rest of you. Brian Anderson pissed me off consistently.

Did he trip Rick Renteria?

I thought they took him to that farm for old dogs?

Frank Thomas Paul Konerko Harold Baines Bo Jackson Joe Crede

They've been said to want someone that can contribute now so I bet Eloy was the guy they brought up.

Me thinks Buster is full of shit.

You think Yonder is here? My guess is he's over yonder (that joke will never get old).

As was I, maybe?

2 days visiting Chicago? One day with the team, 2nd day looking for housing?

I think he's gonna wind up in Atlanta, and they're gonna get 2 pretty prime prospects (Riley and one of the 300 dynamite pitching prospects). Marlins really need to not screw this one up, probably why they've sat on the guy through the meetings.

I don't get the position part. Didi will be back, and Andujar is a butcher at 3rd. Probably a pretty bad idea to have a pisspoor defensive 3B and Manny playing a position where he's less than league average defensively.

Looks like the Mets are out, they signed Ramos...

I'd love it personally (we need more guys with his contact abilities) but I dunno if they'd wanna spend the money if they lose out on the big fish? Depends on what they wanna do with Palka though, cuz Brantley would push him out of the current projection, at least after Eloy is ready to come up. I would say if they got Machado I'd love a Brantley addition to go with him.

Yeah you gotta expect a CarGo, Span or Granderson type vet pickup for sure.
