I guess with the Yankees it depends on when ARod's suspension takes effect and how much they save there.

Sure, a lot of teams could use Rios, but none of them aside from the Yankees (and maybe the Rangers) can afford the possibility of getting stuck with his entire contract on a waiver claim. I don't think anybody is going to put in a blocking claim.

Suppose that happens and he charges the mound. Do any of his teammates leave the dugout to defend him?

Suspensions are definitely being announced at 3PM ET. Unless they aren't.

It wasn't entirely luck. Those 5 starters all had track records of being pretty durable.

The Yankees are the only team with the need and the money to claim Alex, and having the money is somewhat dependent on how the ARod situation pans out. There's a very high chance that he clears waivers, but I think if some other team was really interested in him, he'd have gotten moved already.

Fixed that for you.

I would think Rios/Dunn/Ramirez/Danks/Lindstrom/Keppinger will all be on waivers very soon if they haven't been put there already.

There is no reason for the Sox to give Wise playing time at Charlotte when we just acquired two new OF who need to play a lot. Best place for Wise is to a contending team's AAA club where he can get called up and be a useful pinch-runner/defensive replacement in meaningful September games.

Program guide likes you and was trying to save you from watching.

Tigers are averaging 5.5 runs/game at home and the Sox pitching held them to half that. Good job, guys!

Today marks the 8th day that ARod's suspension is expected to be announced today.

Bridgewater is pretty awesome and I think UL could actually hang with the teams ranked 4-10, but with their schedule they will never get a chance to play in the title game. Sucks for them too, because next year their schedule gets much more difficult but Teddy will probably be gone.

I just figured 26 under was the server's breaking point.

Just wondering, what is the job field?

You accept the job in Dallas and send my resume to the company in Indy since that's where I'm trying to move to. Or, on a more serious note, if you would prefer the Indy job by all means interview with them and see how it goes.

Go visit the 'Hot Babes' thread. That should make your pants happier.

I would doubt it. He has another year before he has to be added to the 40-man, so calling him up this September wastes an option year in 2014.

Fort Mill, SC

Can you interview me?

Yes, but his word has been corroborated by the other MLB players who are getting suspended. That was the plan--give Braun and maybe some of the others reduced penalties for admitting the truth, which in turn built an ironclad case against ARod.

Order in which I'd be interested in free agents: Cano McCann Ellsbury Infante Saltalamacchia Uribe I'm definitely not saying the Sox could go out and outbid teams for these guys, especially Cano, but these are guys I'd most like to see.

I have a co-worker who went to this year's Pro Bowl. He didn't go to Hawaii for that reason, but happened to be on vacation there at that time and somebody offered him $10 tickets so he went. He said it didn't even feel like he was at a real football game.

No, not ridiculous at all. He got caught cheating once yet did it again. Time to go away for good.
