Ricky's walked five guys in seven innings... am I missing something?! What is there to see here?

You just pick one of the top assistants from the Rays, A's, Cards or Indians. Doesn't need to be a big name.

Okay. I have other options regarding a top SP. Are you still interested in making that deal you asked about a few weeks ago?

Would you flip Dahl and a pick upgrade for Medlen? Any interest in trading Zimmermann for Brett Lawrie or Starlin Castro?

It was reported as done! MLBTR picked up on the story as legitimate and posted it. That's my standard and it's been good enough to date.

My "could care less" comment was a test to see if you'd be pedantic in a post where you assert your lack of pedantism. You failed. So if the thread isn't purely about baseball you're allowed to exasperatingly correct spelling mistakes? Hmm. I've never heard of that rule. Nevertheless, I'll be sure to comment the next time you ruin a pure baseball thread.

The Saturday update included Ervin to the Blue Jays! Today's update was a correction of that.

No, it's like we're trying to talk about baseball and you (and TL, others) nuke every thread with your pedantic ********. I could care less about how fiance is spelled. Everybody else but TL and a couple others feel the same way. It's exasperating how blind you are to this. Nobody wants to hear that they made an honest spelling/grammar/semantics mistake. If you don't want to discuss the topic, please leave.

Okay, I'll shop that package to other teams and see if I can get you a hitter. You're looking for a long-term shortstop I assume?

Only interested in dealing/acquiring Santana if a SP upgrade is in place. Would you trade Jordan Zimmermann for David Dahl, Erik Johnson and a pick upgrade? If not, let me know which of Boxy's prospects you like. What calibre of prospect would you trade for Medlen? Moran?

Would you trade Medlen for Ervin Santana?

Nice try playing morality police. No one was injured. Sources - http://www.komonews.com/home/video/25476014.html - http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=6267820

"We're going to have a track team!"

It's always a fun trick to throw that guy out in auction drafts and have people bid him up before they notice the discrepancy.

There are no buts in Spring Training. It doesn't matter at all. If he did that over the 3rd and 4th innings in an afternoon game against the Royals in August, would you be posting about it? No. And it's more than just the sample size that renders it irrelevant. I'm sure he's working on stuff.

Welcome! We're happy to have you.

What does Boxy have to offer though? Dinger wants pieces that can help him this year. I guess he could do a three-way.

Sure they will, the Red Sox will surrender the opportunity to receive a draft pick. Which is the same thing. We have much more of a need too. I think Drew signs for the best financial offer. No reason to think there are extenuating circumstances at play with Drew. His agent even went on Toronto radio to deliver a sales pitch.

Or less! Because they develop a lot of late rounders. Brandon Beachy was an undrafted FA. Medlen a 10th rounder.

But isn't there a ~70% chance they get a 2015 comp pick out of him though? Is that part of your calculus?

You can post it yourself lol. Here's the totals sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuRs7ESmE2v5dFRmaXkyWE81YzNDLVdzRE00WG1jLUE&usp=drive_web#gid=2 Next time I'll post all three leaderboards in the update post (when Drew or Morales sign).

No problem! Only Stephen Drew remains for Part Two.

Those guys are all doing it wrong. This is how a home run swing is supposed to look: http://i.imgur.com/UCw2EUV.gif

Even that's an exaggeration. He's throw 46.2 Major League innings in the past five seasons. But sure, he'll be a dependable #4 starter for us this year. We can count on him.

lol it's really easy to change the answers in that. Morales and Drew are doing much more damage.
