1. Shooty is in the Trust TreeThat trade goes to 11!
If they can stay in the race they will be expensive the whole season...
does anyone else offer Marco even half that? i thought the best he could do would be 1 6 with maybe some options. I guess without thong master Huff someone needs to be the overpaid old guy. that being said... good for Marco!
edit: Also, If the giants can pull a right fielder out of their a$$, they have a good shot at the post season agian.
Huh.
Josh Willingham for Panik and Okert? I have no idea if that's fair or not but Josh Willingham might look really nice to teams after a) the other outfielders sign and b) their budget maxes out
Is he going to tank Grilli's contract because Grilli sucks and he wants to represent someone better?
Arizona seems to really be getting screwed there. Upton for Cabrera? Why wouldn't Cleveland just take that instead of Holland? OTOH, Texas is making out like bandits.
As if they have to clarify that these teams aren't looking to have him play 3B for them ironically.
On opening days Hannahan is 7 for 15 with 3 home runs.
Scott Rolen has not officially retired yet!
Youkilis makes sense: They can offer a bigger 1-year deal than anyone else without affecting their luxury tax implications for 2014. He gets a chance to prove his health and get a better multi-year deal next offseason.
I had to look it up to determine that you're talking about the shortstop who came up 4 years before the other one, playing for the Blue Jays.
His full name is Alexander Scott Gonzalez.
The other had no middle name (at least according to bbref) but a very memorable nickname. He is:
Alexander Sea Bass Gonzalez. Making them easy to confuse even with middle initials.
Dude, I was just starting to unsee that from when MLB Network was showing it yesterday.
My Mariners sure have a long way to go, don't they.
Well, hopefully they can complete a King Felix extension this winter. That'll make me cheer up.

Assuming the Phils break out of their off season lethargy, I'd think they'd give Youk 2 years. They are desperate for any kind of RH power and they think Cody Asche will be ready in 2014; it would make sense to have a vet around who could spell the lefty hitter on occasion as well as fill in for Howard.
Chavez for 1/3 as a parttimer for the Phils could have led to a cheap, if meh, 3B combo with Kevin Frandsen, leaving money for 2 OFs and a setup man.
I thought Sea Bass played for the Bruins.
Philly makes sense, but if the Yankees offer, say, 1 year at $13m, would they be able to offer a 2-year deal that makes it work his while?
This is all why we badly need a constitutional amendment banning the combination of "Alex" and "Gonzalez"... I believe the Rangers have another one toiling somewhere in the bowels of their farm system who also happens to be a pseudo-crappy SS.
EDIT: Yup - though, he seems to be a 20 yo still struggling to get out of the frontier league, so we may be spared him... According to BB-REF, the Orioles drafted one in the 11th round of the 2010 draft, but it would appear that he didn't sign... so the amendment is still needed.
Alex S. Gonzalez played with the Jays and a Florida team.
Alex "Sea Bass" Gonzalez played with the Jays and a Florida team.
Kevin Millar played for both the Jays and a Florida team.
(Sadly, he did not play with Alex S. at any time.)
That's okay. He's from...huh...Venezuela.
The one that played in the Boston minor league system (2005) was from...huh...Miami.
And Baltimore drafted ANOTHER one in 2010, but he hasn't played yet.
The negotiations stalled when the team insisted he change his name to Trey Ripken.
Probably not. Do the Yanks have enough room to offer him 13 though? I thought they were tight against the cap.
I think that's for 2014.
Mine is: one of them kicked a routine double play ball to cost the Cubs the 2003 pennant, and the other got a World Series ring as a result.
Who?
Would have liked to see him stay with the Phils. Would he have gotten that much in arbitration?!?
The biggest free agent signings have been Napoli and Victorino, but they're hardly blockbuster signings. The two big prizes--Hamilton and Greinke--remain unsigned.
Make a big move, somebody.
I suppose Nate can hit - and neither of them can -- so that's something, but both Campana and Sappelt are 26 and cheap (though, pretty sure both have options left).
In last week's Heyman article that was posted, I predicted a Shields for Myers + Kyle Smith trade.
To me, at least, it has seemed like the writing is on the wall that Shields is Dayton Moore's white whale. Pretty sure Friedman knows it and is taking advantage of that to get the maximum return. It doesn't hurt that the writing seems to be on the wall that Dayton Moore's job seems to be dependent on a a big boost in the standings in 2013. Any GM should be trying to exploit the fact that KC is going to be willing to pay more than it should in future talent to get MLB ready talent.
I think there is a slight risk that KC opts for a FA pitcher instead, but if KC lands a pitcher via trade, I'd expect more than just Myers to be the price that is paid. (Note, I think that is a massive overpay; I simply think it will happen.)
And I've been posting this in the Royals threads for the past couple of weeks but I'm pretty convinced that Dayton Moore believes that Wil Myers is blocked at the MLB level. He can't play DH because you've got Billy Butler there. He really isn't suited for CF. And the corner OF spots are already filled with Gordon and Frenchy. I think this trade would be a lot less likely if Moore thought he had a spot in the lineup to give to Wil Myers.
I weep that Wil Myers could be seen as blocked by Jeff Francoeur. My daughter is barely blocked by Jeff Francoeur.
Anyway, Shields is a good pitcher, but unless they sign him to an extension, trading Myers for him would be really, really dumb.
I interpreted the rumors (or maybe just assumed) that it would be Shields plus something for Myers; not the other way around.
