2011 MLB - Part III - World Series, etc.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i heard he was gonna sign with the Hanshin Tigers

 

[Hewson]

GAF, I actually thought he might go to the Cubs. I was at least hoping for it because I like the Cubs as well. I'm a rare fan of both teams.

First JeteReyes and now ByrdBraun???

One last hip hip for Posada.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

perhaps you could leave off one of those hips for a-rod...

[gump]

He probably needs the two hips saved for him given the length of that contract.

With Posada's retirement, A-Rod and Cano are the third and fourth longest tenured Yankees (behind Mo and Jeter). Hughes is fith on the list. I found this surprising.

 

[gump]

Holy shit, Detroit

Boras must have compromising pictures of all these GMs, right?

how is that surprising? it's the yankees.

Who are constantly described as OMG they are so old.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Prince got himself a nice King's ransom.

They are... just because they don't have any long tenured guys anymore doesn't change that they have a lot of old guys in key spots

Closer, SS and 3B, that's basically it. And Kuroda once his signing becomes official.

Anyways, my point was more that it almost feels as though Hughes and Cano just joined the team. Makes me feel old.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Keep his fat ass in the NL. Let him keep beating the shit out of NL pitchers.

Or just bring him right into our division.

Fuck.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Thank the lord the Marlins didn't sign him, and thank the lord he didn't end up in the same division as the Marlins.

All is well in the NL East.

 

[the tourist]

That's gotta be the best 3/4 hitter combo in baseball for the next few years.

 

[gump]

And possibly the worst defensive infield in baseball with Peralta-Fielder-Miggy if the latter ends up playing third. But yeah, pretty impressive duo. The AL will be fun.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

And possibly the fattest infield.

No, definitely the fattest infield.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Thank the lord the Marlins didn't sign him, and thank the lord he didn't end up in the same division as the Marlins.

I don't think the lord cares about baseball free agency.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

You'd be surprised!

He cares about football.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Cheeseburger stock in Detroit just skyrocketed

Gotta assume Cabrera will be DH in 2012 with Victor sidelined for the season...2013 will be interesting to see what they do with essentially 3 highly paid DH's on the roster.

 

[gump]

Yeah, 2012 should be easy, but it seems they want to try Cabrera at third, which is mindboggling to me. I guess he may not want to DH? Imagine Cabrera running to get groundballs hit in the hole.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Chubby, wheezing and a tendency of kicking the ball into left field when he gives up on a play.

Come on, we all know he doesn't want to play 3B.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

teams signing a player to play a position they already have an all star at seems to be in style this off-season.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Well if both Cabrera and Fielder are at 1st base, gravity wont let anything pass. I can understand what they were going after.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I don't think the lord cares about baseball free agency.

I think if He cared, Pujols would have stayed with the Cards and taken the hometown discount.

I'm so out of touch with MLB, it's not even funny. But anyone who thinks that $200 million+ for a overweight, often clumsy hitter who will probably give you about a .275 BA, 25 - 35 HRs a year and zero fielding ability is a good deal needs their head examined.

Check this out: Prince becomes the full time DH for the Tigers, drops 30 pounds thanks to some sort of Nutra-System/Jenny Craig diet, becomes the best DH ever, better even than say...Edgar Martinez, , never wins a World Series, retires and is voted into the HOF despite spending his last 9 seasons as a DH.


I can see it now.

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

I can also see him being wheeled out to the batters box in a few seasons.

Fixed.

Or maybe there's something else at play here....



perhaps...
