Around Baseball 2014

[Smoking jayz]

are other team's message boards starting "Luis Perez outrighted" threads

Are other teams rolling out Ryan EFFING Goins EVERDAY

[woods of ypres]

White Sox & Jose Quintana agree to a contract extension. Quintana gets a 5-year deal worth as much as $26.5 million. Two club options could take it as high as $48.5 million.

[Captain Adama]

So the Tigers traded Steve Lombardozzi for Alex Gonzalez.

 

37 year old non-roster invitee Alex Gonzalez who slashed .177/.203/.230 last year...hahahah, what the actual f***?

 

It seems teams are getting more scared of losing their first round draft pick, signing Stephen Drew would have made so much more sense.

Only thing I can think of is Tigers not wanting to commit three years to him. I forget where I heard this but I rival executive said that Boras has a claim that a team already has a 3 year deal on the table already for Drew.

I call ********.

Lol you never can tell. Must be that f***ing mystery team again.

[The_DH]

If some team came to Boras and said would your guy sign for 3/39 he would probably use it just like this.

Scott Baker opts out of deal with Seattle. Not happening, but PLEASE.

[G-Snarls]

Scott Baker opts out of deal with Seattle. Not happening, but PLEASE.

 

I dunno. He'd just be another fringe starter. We have enough of those.

[jaysfan2014]

Yes he is. Scott Baker had a 1/7 K/BB ratio in spring training. No way we'll see him anytime soon.

[ElNik2013]

So Yu Darvish may not make his OD start because of a sore neck. Man, Rangers are being hit hard by the injury bug, although Darvish's injury doesn't that serious.

Erik Bedard please.

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

He couldn't make an injured Mariners squad. Baker is essentially coming off of TJ sugery. Is he could enough for the Jays rotation? His splits in the AL East parks are actually pretty good. May be rough going in the start with him, but certainly won't cost $16MM.

AROUND BASEBALL PLEASE

Sorry. I'm new.

[fatcowxlive]

Sorry. I'm new.

 

Welcome to the forum!! Just a tip for you, for minor baseball talk (minor non-Jays news, ideas on who to sign, etc.) would go in the huge Around Baseball thread, everything else though (related to Jays or MLB such as big trades, acquisitions, rumours, rule changes, etc.) can have it's separate thread, it kinda helps keep the forum organized.

 

Anyways on this, I could see AA making a minor league signing out of him, but if he's trying to get on an MLB roster I don't think he'll get one here. One of Redmond/Rogers/McGowan have got that last place locked already with the others filing into the bullpen lol

[L54]

AROUND BASEBALL PLEASE

 

You and King really aren't very inviting to new members. You two should take a lesson from fatcow. Your arrogance on a baseball message board is really quite sad. Might be a few beers deep but IDFAF

He's been posting at least a few weeks now, long enough to see the other replacement level threads and how those went, and what I posted wasn't bad, but hope you're having fun critiquing kids on the internet while multiple beers deep. Dunno, you're kinda making an issue of nothing.

[GD]

He's trying to take Spanky's job!

 

Suck farts ya uphill gardenin' stunned knobjockey! K..................................

 

Spanky ftw

The "Around Baseball" thread fanboyism runs deep here. Not everything has to be dumped in there.

True. But Scott Baker certainly does.

[Laika]

True. But Scott Baker certainly does.

 

Lots of people wanted him as a big buy low before he went to Seattle.

[KingKat]

I still think they should sign him, minor league deal obviously.

Rosenthal on Rangers injury woes

[G-Snarls]

I didn't realize they had put all 3 of Soto, Profar and Beltre (Engel) on the 60 day DL. Ouch.

@jonmorosi: Rangers have had trade talks due to injuries, looking to add depth at 2B and catcher.

 

Izturis can play 2B (well, in theory at least). Make it happen.

Send them Izzy and Thole! Perfect solution.

But what can they afford to give up?? Not pitching that's for sure.

[G-Snarls]

Would they give up either of Michael Choice and Nick Williams??

[glory]

If Texas took Izturis, Thole, and Happ, I wouldn't even ask for any players in return. Addition by subtraction.
