QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) Why not? They are going to ignore the system anyway, so it really doesn't make any difference. They are said to be looking at spending $15M+ in the the international market, so they are going to accrue the most harsh penalties anyway. The only real penalty is you cannot spend next year if you go over the slot you were assigned.

1 down 1 to go....sign soon Santana

Its been painful to read some posts by a certain person in here...and I thought he would stop after stupid rant against Sabermetrics when he got absolutely blasted.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT ERVIN f***ING SANTANA Because the knuckleheads that are arguing to sign him didnt get to ramp up the assumption machine today.

Watching Santana's fastball get launched out of the park while he earns a large salary would have not made me happy....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) We can't become the Astros or Cubs. If that happens, our attendance will look like the A's. Yep...we need to show signs of life this year.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 27, 2014 -> 08:34 PM) Yes, pay no attention to the Red Sox top 5 payroll. Talk to me when James starts racking up the championships with the Rays. I dont even know what to say to this.....thats how incredibly stupid this comment is.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 27, 2014 -> 07:06 PM) I could not give one damn about WAR and contracts. Well then....

Just hopefully at the start of the season I dont have to watch a terrible lip syncing video

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 06:57 AM) They're already available from MLB.com as well. Got a link for it? For some reason I cant find it

I'm slightly disturbed that we're talking about signing Jimenez to a multi year 40 million dollar contract

Rick Hahn pretty much said that they wont be signing any pitcher like Santana or Garza. We just need to sit tight and wait for the international free agency period. You can blow plenty of money there.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) If all of what you say becomes reality, I still don't see the harm of signing a FA pitcher. They did....his name is Paulino

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) The four above him have Cy Young Awards. Yep...but the Yankees needed him badly. Their pitching was looking spotty at best this season.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 02:29 PM) So the Yankees are paying $175M over the course of 7 years, or about $25M a year if you spread it out evenly...... Good f***ing luck, jackwagons. 5th highest paid pitcher in baseball....hasnt made one pitch in the majors

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) Because they're funny. Only 5% of the tweets on here are really legitimate. Make a point that this thread is only 5 percent serious by continuing to post more junk

Why dont we post what incarceratedbob has to say about this while we are at it

I agree with the people concerned about the price....like I was saying earlier some of the figures have him getting up into Top 5 pitcher money. Basically in the company of King Felix and Verlander.

hahaha....The Yes Network using Tom Loxas....how low can you go

Jobu needs a refill

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) Wow Kaplan this was known 3 days ago Cub Boy! Something a little more interesting is he said that the Cubs bid(the reported 7 for 160) wasnt close to that number.

Bruce basically reiterating what we already know. Dont rule any of the teams out because Tanaka and his agent are basically on lock down. Says money not the ultimate deciding factor for Tanaka....points to Fukudome. Problem with Cubs upping the bid is they may be bidding against themselves. Like Texas did with Darvish.
