Around Baseball 2014

[LunchBox]

Bundy, Gausman, or Schoop. Any know if Dan Duquette is a heavy drinker?

 

Wouldn't you be if you were expect to field a winning team, in a competitive decision with a greedy Greek breathing down your neck?

 

My family is Greek on one side and on occasion I've met their Greek friends, associates and such. About 10% of them are extremely enjoyable company, very upfront, discerning and totally rational...basically Vulcans lol. The other 90% are fat, greedy, loud, goat-f***ing ignoramuses that would stab their own mother in the back for the biggest piece of feta.

I'd say yes to Guerrero. But not first ballot.

 

I've never understood this mentality. If Guerrero deserves to be in the HOF, why does the ballot number matter?

Yeah if you use "first ballot HOF" as kind of metaphor to describe a player..I understand. I think a lot of people unwittingly do that. The more literal way though would be: "well such and such will be in that class and he won't be able to get in that season..but will at some point"

[connorp]

That said..I'm positive there are homo voters who won't vote for someone first time if they aren't Mickey Mantle

s***** result of trade or not, I freaking love Jose Reyes

 

[raBBit]

Trade Janssen to Orioles for???

 

O's seem set on signing Rodney.

He's a hard guy not to like

Holy s***, I used to work under a Greek guy and this description fits him to a T. Didn't realize that they are all like that.

Gregory Polanco ROY and MVP - DWL

[Abomination]

Lind and Sanchez for Walker and Polanco please.

 

THAT would be awesome. I'd probably kick in some more mid level stuff too.

[Angrioter]

Lind and Sanchez for Walker and Polanco please.

 

Gregory is a stud > Stroma/Sanchez > Lind

Until you find out that these are all his 10 cent an hour employees.

Walker and Polanco aren't going anywhere. If the Jays were looking for a MIF from them Merced might be available.

 

They'll give Chase d'Arnaud away.

At least they're getting blankets... wait. Does it get cold in the DR? Ever?? Do they even NEED blankets?

10cents US= like $4.50 of their pesos. They should be happy they have work

[Candy Maldonado]

I thought this was funny.

Isn't PF's wife a major snuffelofogous? I mean marrying them because you were with them before you were famous is understandable..but to seek it out after the fact?..and another guys wife no less

[eastcoastjaysfan]

lol Fielder gives this woman access to everything she could ever want/need and she cheats on him with some 4th OFer. No wonder he was so lousy last year.

 

Pro tip: Never marry a woman named after a luxury purse/bag company

Im not sure you read the article correctly

[connorp]

I did. Just was wondering why the Garcia guy would want to hook up with a snuffelofogus, especially considering it's a teammate's wife. Bang any random decent looking slut at the clubs they go to

Tulowitzki told Saunders: "I have high hopes for Drew. ... I know they have talked about [Carlos Gonzalez] being our center fielder, but for me, I think we are a better team if Drew can grab that position and run with it. That way, we can leave Carlos in left." Tulowitzki said he will invite Stubbs to his home to work out with him prior to Spring Training.

 

Tulowitzki is gold. f*** you Bautista.

[connorp]

Tulowitzki is gold. f*** you Bautista.

 

"f*** you Romero" is the best phrase there

[connorp]

ROFLMAO.....he isn't obviously finished.

 

Right?..lol..guy either didnt get done by day end or maybe needed a part.

Alomar comes off as a douchebag. Prob knows nothing of contract work, just walks around in suit trying to be important

[TheHurl]

Six-time gold glove CF'er, 4 time WS winner, 2 time All-Star Paul Blair passed away today at the age of 69. My Dad felt he was the best defensive CF'er ever.

Angels favorites to sign LHP Mark Mulder

[Abomination]

Mulder is actually kind of interesting. Apparently he's sitting low-90s with his new delivery.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him, but not sure if I'd give him a guaranteed spot.

[GD]

Hard to have much of an opinion either way. If AA gave him a guaranteed 1-2 million with incentives I wouldn't complain though.

 

I like this.
