He's pretty meh.

 

Which is exactly why there is a chance we will be able to sign him. There is no way we can compete for someone who is more than meh.

[G-Snarls]

Jesus man.....last night on Rotowire they said he suffered a laceration and didn't go unconscious, that's a lot worse.

 

Yeah they were overly optimistic until news this morning

 

Aroldis Chapman: Needs Surgery To Repair Fracture

Posted on March 20, 2014 at 9:33 AM

 

NEWS UPDATE

Chapman will undergo surgery to repair the fracture above his left eye and is expected to be out six-to-eight weeks, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

 

ROTOWIRE FANTASY ANALYSIS

After being hit in the head by a line drive Wednesday, Chapman was held overnight at a local hospital for observation. He has been diagnosed with a mild concussion, and he'll need surgery to repair the fracture above his eye, but Chapman was said to be alert and even cracking jokes Thursday morning. Doctors have said recovery from surgery is possible in six-to-eight weeks, but that doesn't necessarily mean Chapman will be able to pitch right away at the end of that recovery window.

OK!

[G-Snarls]

I can see AA trying for Masterson mid season if Indians were not in contending position. Problem is you can't qualify and get draft pick comp if you do that. So he wouldn't be willing to part with as much for him.

[G-Snarls]

I guess what you would do is find out what Masterson wants for a contract extension first and decide if you'd be willing to offer that after trading for him. Or just wait until he's a free agent of course, depending on how badly you want him second half of this season and what you think your chances are of signing him if he becomes a free agent.

Debating whether to go to bed early and wake up at 4 but I don't think I would, going to bed at 630 will suck. What to do.. lol

That would be fantastic...

 

With all these TJ's this is a great time for AA to start trading away some of our excess.

 

I'd give them Dustin over those guys, if Detroit would take him.

Offer Janssen/Santos and Izturis and see if they bite. They desperately need a SS now that Iglesias is done. Who knows maybe they are desperate enough to give Izzy a look.

[Sorrow]

I wonder if the Tigers would take one of Janssen, Santos or Delabar, with Izturis and Sierra for Porcello.

[Stangstag]

Am I the only one who just found out that the Dodgers and Diamondbacks are playing a REGULAR SEASON game TOMORROW in AUSTRALIA? Wtf

[jaysfan2014]

Well, the Tigers are dealing starting depth away in desperation for a SS:

Tigers acquire Andrew Romine for Jose Alvarez.

 

Nice move for the Angels, especially with Blanton expected to be cut.. but that's an overpay for an out-of-options SS for the Tigers.
