Blue Jays are "circling" Ricky Nolasco.

[The Cats Ass]

19th place, here I come!

 

Is there a team other then Boxy's that even has a chance of finishing 20th?

[wilko]

lol remember when i trade raped wilko with joe blanton and mike aviles in 2012? That was fun. Good times.

 

hey! f*** you!

[GNick]

Do we have to give up a pick if we sign Arroyo?

[G-Snarls]

No, he wasn't QO'd

 

No compensation pick for Nolasco either

 

Do it AA

[agrushcow]

Nolasco to the Twins...

Arroyo would be eaten alive at the Rogers Centre and in the AL East.

[Angrioter]

Ricky Nolasco active the start button!!!

Nolasco signs with the Twins. Article posted on BB.

Can five sentences really constitute an 'article'?

 

Close enough. Give the blog hits, will ya, ya fart snortin knob jockey?

[GD]

Holy s***! That was incredible! Great work GD!

 

I only got called out by like 6 people! New record! Woot!

12.25 aav

[Howard Roark]

So relieved (Ace Relieved, in fact) that we didn't spew some of our budgetary load on this so very mediocre, mediocre pitcher.

[Angrioter]

I would have too, but ideally he's the 2nd best addition to the rotation this offseason. I'd pencil him in for Buehrle-esque numbers: about 200 IP and a 4-4.25 ERA.

 

Joe Blanton is available via trade. Damn boring offseason.

I just don't get it from the Twins perspective.

 

They're so far away from contending.

[TheHurl]

First time since moving to Minnesota that they have gone three seasons in a row winning less than 70 games. A little pride for them and showing improvement with a big time farm coming in might create a little buzz.

Lots of talk out of Minnesota about them signing Garza long term. Garza apparently liked the organization and the city when he was there previously. Garza + Nolasco would make them much better and perhaps better enough to not be so far away from contending.

 

One might even call this signing a message to Garza, stating that they are serious about winning.

The free agent market price has just skyrocketed . Mediocre pitchers get 4 years at better than 12 mil . Peralta gets 4 years at 13 mil when I thought 2 10 was overpay .

Maybe even Buehrle ,s contract is starting to get close to moveable

Buehrle's contract may in fact be looking half decent, forget moveable.

I can't even count the number of times I said Buehrle's contract would look substantially better after this winter. Just wait until Garza, Santana and Jimenez sign their contracts.

[Chappy]

Doesnt mean you dont sign other free agent starters

 

What? I'm talking about Buehrle's contract, not other FA's.

Minny is going to be a beast very soon. Even without Buxton and Sano, Arcia, Rosario, Stewart and Keplar form a very strong core

[jays_fever]

Rosario suspended 50 games.

 

That's pretty irrelevant
