Around Baseball 2014

[Stangstag]

thinking foreign girl might respect being brought to nice home and nice guy. Be a good wife. I just really like younger chicks too. I don't want a girl my age that will be 45 in 10 years and sagging.

 

Im being honest with you dude, that is really shallow. You won't find a satisfying long-lasting relationship with this train of thought.

This clubhouse divide led by Bautista could stretch farther than just the Blue Jays clubhouse. One player, who was involved in an on field accident with an opposing Latino this past season that resulted in an injury for the other player, was shunned by his Latino Blue Jays teammates for many days after the play. The entire Dominican contingent would not talk to him for days because of this incident.

In 2013 (as well as in years past), the Blue Jays have had a strong Latin contingent on their roster. An industry source with direct knowledge of the goings on in the Blue Jays clubhouse said that Jose acted as a leader strictly for his Latino brethren, but when it came to all the other players on the roster, he couldn’t care less.

One veteran player, gone from the team now, even went as far to tell Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos that his team would never win if it featured a Latin clique like the one present over the past couple of years.

 

This sounds very scary and it's probably true.

I hear you. I just got out of a relationship with a girl 5 years older with kids that I loved like my own..so that prob plays a part of my thinking right now. It's the opposite

Samardzija on signing an extension for a new team after a trade:

 

"The odds are very slim that I would," Samardzija said. "For any professional player two years out of free agency, the odds they sign a deal are pretty slim (in that situation)."

 

Yeah they will need to lower the price I guess. He doesn't seem interested in extending with the Cubs either. They should move him now... could prob get a better prospect than Sanchez from someone

He knows he's a pitcher right?

 

Maybe he should ask Matt Garza how waiting until Free Agency works out.

Notre Dame boy, if he doesn't get his payday, it's the lord's will.

I'm not debating your point but I bet since pitchers are most likely self-aware in regards to their employment.. I would assume they insure themselves in some regard against disaster. That doesn't help in a Garza situation but if the worse you have to live with is Garza's situation.. retirement will still be pretty darn swell.

Guesses, anyone? The veteran leader later mentioned was probably Vizquel

 

I doubt it was Vizquel considering he's retired.

KC Royals sign one-time Blue Jay C Ramon Hernandez to a minors deal. Considering the back-up in KC is Brett Hayes right now, he should easily win the back up job to Salvador Perez.

[TBJ12]

It mentioned seasons past for that veteran

 

"with an opposing Latino this past season"

[Smokey]

I'll tell you.. Being 34 and just mildly successful.. unemployed now actually but was making close around $90k for long time in suburb cost of living environment.. I have zero chance with the super hot 18-22 year old girls. As more than a hook up I mean. I tried. So I went on POF in other countries.. forget about it.. I'm a f'n pimp after 3 hours.

 

I am in the dumps. Need to get my s*** together.

The Rays designated Jerry Sands for assignment. He could be a rather interesting guy to grab. Right handed bat that plays both corner outfield spots as well as 1B, and hits lefties well. Horrible season last year, but was a fairly well regarded prospect and has good power. Might make a nice and somewhat versatile platoon partner for Lind.

This was an on field accident not an offseason accident.

I missed where you said "later mentioned", which is understandable since the Latino was previously mentioned.

 

Try posting the correct info before claiming I can't comprehend what your posting. You might wan't to drop the attitude kid, I wasn't calling you out.

You even went with the commemorative pink background!

 

Poor connorp. He was a different man in those days.

 

But then he became a string theorist and it changed everything!

 

I kid though, connorp seems like a pretty reasonable human. Don't like hearing he's having a s***** time of it.

Ya he's grown on me a bit since those days but I still can't help shaking my head at the prospects of him finding the future mother of his kids from a third world country who he's never met in person.

[TBJ12]

Also, don't call me kid.

 

I'm Sorry. Won't happen again.

 

Kid

Lol this is true. Ang, set up an intervention.

[Boxcar]

So yeah, you made a mistake. Own up to it rather than making up s***** excuses.

 

I made a mistake with the offseason accident portion, that was me copying it word for word rather than copying pasting. Although it doesn't have anything to do with Vizquel or Oliver telling AA this team is going no where with the Latin Club.

 

I'm not sure how saying "comprehend before calling me out" is attitude, I could have said a lot worse things than that but I chose not to. Also, don't call me kid.

 

Jesus Christ, do you realize how many threads you dominate with your nonsense? You get so caught up on stupid things, let it go.

[TheHurl]

Tommy John Surgery most likely for Miguel Sano. I'll restart my Kris Bryant vs. Sano argument now.

[TheHurl]

Will end up a 1B or LF for sure now.

[Abomination]

Tommy John Surgery most likely for Miguel Sano. I'll restart my Kris Bryant vs. Sano argument now.

 

potentially noteworthy for the BBDL draft

[TheHurl]

Very, if I had a high pick I was liking Sano.

 

He might be a bargain now. I'd like to add that as much as I had him lower as a prospect than many did...his fantasy value by my projections would have been higher than many I'd have ahead of him.

[Nox]

Does this mean Sank is going to lose his Yahoo SS eligibility? Lol

[jays_fever]

Kris Bryant is an absolute stud as a fantasy prospect. Stil has a chance to stay at third and is going to be hitting at Wrigley with what looks like will be a stacked lineup in a few years

Andruw Jones Re-Signs With Rakuten Golden Eagles

 

By Steve Adams [January 8 at 9:24am CST]

 

Former Major League All-Star Andruw Jones has re-signed a one-year deal with Nippon Professional Baseball's Rakuten Golden Eagles, according to a report from Nikkan Sports (Japanese link). Rakuten has since announced the deal's value at 400 million Yen, or roughly $3.8MM. Jones is represented by agent Scott Boras.

 

Jones played for the Golden Eagles last season alongside new Marlins third baseman Casey McGehee and the offseason's hottest commodity, Masahiro Tanaka. In 604 plate appearances with Rakuten, Jones batted .243/.391/.454 with 26 home runs. He struck out in more than 27 percent of his plate appearances but also walked at a whopping 17.3 percent clip (in addition to getting hit by 15 pitches).

Those 3.8 million will be paid by the Yankees...............

Now I can slightly forgive nox for advising me to take Zunino over Sano in the DDL prospect draft.... wait, still retarded. UGH
