Elijah Dukes strikes again!

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi

Roy Oswalt's agent releases statement saying Oswalt will continue evaluating his options. So he's not signing now.

 

Roy Oswalt '12 sounds like Pedro Martinez '09. May sign with contender at midseason -- on his terms.

 

Oswalt, you recall, turned down a $10 million offer from #Tigers.

Jenks is lucky he isn't paralyzed from the waist down. If the infection truly is in the spine he could be looking at osteomyelitis in his vertebrae. With a guy that size spinal fractures are a real possibility. Hopefully they caught the infection in time if not, he's screwed. He may not be able to stand upright let alone play baseball. If the infection got into his spinal fluid, he could die or just go into a coma.

 

I would like to be his attorney if the bone spur was truly left partially excised. You can make the case of ruining a 10's of millions of dollars player. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Poor guy sounds lucky to be alive. What a gross injury. Would be surprised if he pitched this year.

Sources: Zimmerman, #Nationals close on extension, but potential deal-breakers remain. Zimmerman has set Saturday deadline for deal. #MLB

 

Zimmerman deal with #Nationals would be for at least six years, sources say. Potential deal-breakers unclear, but described as "real." #MLB

How Omar stays in MLB at age 44.

 

So that's where Cesar Izturis learned that move, from a fellow countryman!

It's funny because you implied he's giving handjobs.

Strasburg will be shut down after 160 innings this year even if the Nationals are in a heated pennant race. Protection first with him

Carlos Gonzalez - OF - Rockies

 

According to the Denver Post, Carlos Gonzalez reported to spring training heavier and stronger after adding 20 pounds of muscle this offseason.

Gonzalez plans to lose 10 pounds in spring training, but was reportedly ''launching missiles'' in batting practice. Coming off an injury-plagued season with multiple injuries, he remains be one of the top outfielders in the National League if he can stay healthy.

Wait, so he added 20 lbs of muscle and plans to lose it?

Well, it said he added 20 pounds of muscle, but maybe he added 30 total pounds...I dunno, it sounds stupid to me too.

Is there any player in MLB history that stays around the same weight from last season coming into spring training?

It's not surprising that a writer who uses the phrase "remains to be one of the best outfielders" would compose a confusing blurb.

actually he wrote "remains be one of the best outfielders". even worse. lol

BTW, any connection between CarGo and Braun or do those posts belong in the MLB thread?

someone in the thread had said something to the effect of "shouldn't we just assume now that anyone who shows up to camp with 15 added pounds of muscle is juicing"

 

thats it. it can go in catch all though.

 

Some pretty sweet jerseys they've got there- no doubt to commemorate year three of the AA era.

And injury plagued season with multiple injuries? Well that doesn't sound redundant at all.

Ryan Zimmerman signs six year, $100 mil extension, signed through 2019. $16.7 mil average salary, 2nd highest behind A-Rod for 3Bs

Guess Anthony Rendon is going to have to learn a new position.

Jon Morosi ‏ @jonmorosi

#Reds make it official: They have agreed to a three-year extension with Sean Marshall.

Ken Rosenthal ‏ @Ken_Rosenthal

Interesting aspect to Marshall extension: $2M in performance bonuses each year. Half for games finished, half for games started.

MLB Trade Rumors ‏ @mlbtraderumors

Yankees announced their one-year, Major League deal with Eric Chavez, transferring Aardsma to 60-day DL.

And somewhere, J4L just experienced multiple orgasms.
