YEAH JEETS YEAH JEETS

Does this mean there will be no captains in baseball after 2014?

Are the Dodgers going to give $25M to a player who may become a poor man's Leury Garcia? If so, holy s***. Dumb.

One of the recent defectors, a no-hit SS without speed. 23 & needs significant time in the minors. Scouts wonder if he can post a .220 BA or .300 OBP in MLB. Sounds a lot like a poor man's Leury to me. Not that we would want to but we could probably buy out Leury's 3 arb & 1-2 FA years for about half that amount.

No, he's getting that much because he was really, really good last year.

 

Leaving the AL East will do that

Jeter hit .316/.362/.429/.791 in 150+ games as recent as 2012. He posted nearly that same line in his rookie year. He was a consistent, top tier player. AND he has more memorable playoff experiences than any other major leaguer ever. AND he has a handful of rings. I'm not saying Jeter was on steroids, but I really don't think this type of player ever exists again.

If guys like Pete Rose and Nolan Ryan can continue to be productive into their 40's then it's got to still be possible with guys in the future.

This ought to serve as a note as to how good getting Leury back for Rios actually was.

Yes and no. Being a good pitcher pitching in front of a good defense will do that. Pitching in a pitcher friendly park helps that.

 

The Cards and Reds were both top 3 in runs scored in the NL last year.

Source tells @Britt_Ghiroli that @Orioles have agreed to 3-year contract with South Korean RHP Suk-min Yoon. Club has not confirmed.

The dude changed his Twitter picture to him wearing an Orioles hat a few days ago. I believe this.

Yeah, but who knows really. The early scouting reports of Cubans have been more wrong than right, to my eyes. Lexi was described as a borderline talent and showed himself to be much more. Puig was even more mis-scouted or there would have been an absolute bidding war. DV hasn't nearly lived up to his billing.

 

We'll see what he really is soon enough.

$105M for Homer Bailey. Wow.

$105M for Homer Bailey. Wow.

 

He's actually a pitcher I think is going to get better, but that's a hell of a commitment for a guy who really didn't figure it out until the second half of 2012.
