Oh, not Alfonso...
Its all but dead amongst inner city youths and dying in states above the mason dixon
Oh, I meant Rafael, not Alfonso. Ugh x 10.
Eh, he taught our hitters some patience, and that alone made the signing worthwhile.That lazy fuck Abreu is still around? He was incredibly overrated by Phillies fans when he was here. He was a lazy piece of shit who had speed but never cared enough to use it. He was McNabb before McNabb.
Probably the greatest avatar change in Interference history, right there.
Garza to the Cubs. For 3 of the Cubs' top 10 prospects, including Chris Archer, their #1 prospect. I'm already hearing a lot of skepticism about this one.
I personally think it's a good acquisition, especially for the immediate future. The NL Central is for the taking. Go get it.
More so than casual racism, I’m going to chalk this up to lazy editing and a general unfamiliarity with Tampa Bay baseball– the latter part of which can hardly be held against anyone.
I hope the Yankees don't give up a draft pick for Soriano. Ugh.

gump said:Never underestimate the Yankees' ineptitude when it comes to developing pitching. I think it is very unlikely that they will actually put him in the rotation.
I disagree that he isn't a starting pitcher, though. Maybe he is no longer one because of the team screwing up his development. Before his injury and the Joba rules, he had 34 starts with a 3.54 ERA. In any case, what's the harm in trying? It's not like he's an indispensable reliever now or that he has any trade value. All he needs to do is to be better than Mitre to help the team. I'd like to think he can do it...
Well I do agree that the yankees have completely screwed up joba's development, but I think he was screwed because he had the perfect mentality to be a terrific reliever.
I simply don't think he has the makeup to be a starter. He can't possibly pitch with that same volatility and intensity as a starter.
gump said:Fair enough. It's an opinion many in Yankeeland seem to share. But since he is a mediocre reliever, I'm willing to take a risk to put him on the rotation.
In other news, shutdown bullpen seems to be this year's run prevention mantra.
