January 6, 201016 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) That and being willing to pay over slot. Until Porcello last year, did they really get a major impact at the big league level from guys they dumped money onto? Miller is the other one who comes to mind, but they dealt him.

January 7, 201016 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Scott Eyre...retired. Shame on you for not mentioning wasserman got picked up by the phillies.
January 7, 201016 yr QUOTE (qwerty @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) Shame on you for not mentioning wasserman got picked up by the phillies. I think I'm being made fun of. Also, thanks for the news, I am glad he signed somewhere.
January 7, 201016 yr Rangers offer Vlad a 1 year $7mil deal. I doubt there are many/any teams willing to match that offer.
January 7, 201016 yr QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) Rangers offer Vlad a 1 year $7mil deal. I doubt there are many/any teams willing to match that offer. I sure as hell don't want him for that much. Crasnick is reporting that Guerrero probably won't get more than $5 million from Texas. Plus, Vlad isn't all that happy with the Rangers' offer.

January 7, 201016 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) $5 million is a lot in this market. For a guy like Vlad, yes.
January 7, 201016 yr There goes 1 lefty potential DH for the Sox to sign.... too bad, I thought Cust could have been a good fit at the Cell. Athletics re-signed DH Jack Cust to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. The A's non-tendered Cust last month in order to avoid paying him a substantial raise via salary arbitration and lucked into signing him back at a lower salary than he made in 2009. The 30-year-old hit .240/.356/.417 with 25 homers and 70 RBI last season while earning just $2.8 million.
January 8, 201016 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) Pods to the Royals Where's he playing? Left?
January 8, 201016 yr I'm glad Pods is in the AL Central. We can put his numbers up against Pierre's numbers to see of KW made the right move or not. I got a feeling that Pierre will be much better.
January 8, 201016 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 08:26 AM) Where's he playing? Left? ESPN says center. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4807676 As bad of a CF as DeJesus is--he's probably better than Pods.
January 8, 201016 yr There is a pretty amusing comment thread here with Royals fans complaining about the team acquiring all kinds of lousy ex-Sox: http://www.royalsreview.com/2009/12/22/121...anderson-to-one
January 8, 201016 yr Hilarious. They have 4 members of our team from last year now. xD Edited January 8, 201016 yr by chw42

January 8, 201016 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) Royals fans are pretty awesome. They were hoping that signing BA meant they wouldn't sign Pods. Heh.
January 8, 201016 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) I dont I think Betemit alone cost the Sox one win on defense last year.
January 8, 201016 yr Executives around the league are concerned about Russell Branyan's back. The 34-year-old slugged 31 homers last year, though he didn't play after August. did not know this
January 8, 201016 yr it was truly shocking how bad Betemit was on defense. Uggla's performance in the all-star game would've been a good day for him.
