Around Baseball 2014

Jed Lowrie is a stud and he has 2B experience (199 innings last year). I'd be all over him, if he's available.

 

The price for acquired that injured guy would be too high. I pass.

[BlueJaysGirl]

I'd bring him back on a MiLB contract. He still had good ratios last year.

 

Blanton's suck to not suck ratio still isn't good enough to bring him in.

 

It's 6:4 for those keeping score at home.

Mariners Looking For Starting Pitching

 

By Charlie Wilmoth [March 26, 2014 at 6:44pm CST]

 

The Mariners are looking for another starting pitcher after the departure of Randy Wolf, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News-Tribune writes. Wolf was to be part of the Mariners' rotation, but he left the team over a disagreement about a 45-day advance-consent release. The team had just released another rotation candidate, Scott Baker, at his request, and Baker has now agreed to terms with the Rangers.

 

That leaves the Mariners with either Blake Beavan or Hector Noesi in their No. 5 spot, and they're looking for other possibilities. "There are still some things in the works," manager Lloyd McClendon said this morning. "We’re starting to get clarity to the whole picture. Hopefully, by the end of the day, we’ll have more to tell you."

The Jays would have to give up one of Sanchez/Stroman plus an outfielder, likely Sierra plus a mid level Spect. I think it might be worth it.

 

Mariners want some one ready to pitch now and I don't trade Stroman or Sanchez anyway.

In other news, Seattle currently experiencing a shortage of slide rules, abacuses, and ouija boards.

[The_DH]

. Okay then. Redmond for pitching now, Drabek for a little later and Sierra.

[The_DH]

Derp.......do you realize how good the kid is?

 

That's why the little smilie face. I don't see anything happening here.

[bzapple]

Shouldn't it be tongue in cheek?

 

Gotta get those emoticons right!

[The_DH]

I'm emotionally behind.

Does there seem to be even more injuries to start this season than before? Or does it always just seem that way?

I think most years it always feels excessive

 

This ST maybe more big names than usual

Weird that board record for users online was when Tanaka signed. Not even Jays related lol

 

Imagine what this place would have been like when Darvish signed lol.

Looks nice however I couldn't help noticing the Jays were not displayed. Maybe it is behind the guys who is standing there.

I think they are the third last logo on the right.

NL scouts think the Phillies' window of contention has "smalled shut". The team doesn't.

[The Cats Ass]

That's a fail. Teams are in Alphabetical order, but Miami must be by Florida to be where they are.

 

They also got Toronto and Texas flipped around wrong.

MLB predictions according to CBSSports, and Heyman is an idiot:

C'mon, the Orioles? That team's predicted to finish last according to Fangraphs and PECOTA. Jays are a tough call.. but Fangraphs and PECOTA expects them to finish 3rd or 4th, because of the Yankees expected to be awful due to age, a terrible infield, and questions regarding the pitching rotation and bullpen, even with Tanaka, who is basically just replacing Pettite. The team's no better with Tanaka.

When the opportunity comes up to s*** on the Phillies FO, you must always do it.

[The Cats Ass]

But they've got that right on the computer screen in the centre lol

 

They do. They are missing Washington in the banner thing too.

[The Cats Ass]

Next thing we need to solve is who that girl in the commercial is on the far right above the green tv screen.

A's expected to put Michael Taylor (remember him?) on waivers.
