  1. Why not? Set for life at age 22???
  2. Will he take it? http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/sojo1049.com/files/2012/07/27-mike-trout-e1343422909249.jpg http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/thumbs_down_gladiator-300x125.gif
  3. Yep. In the long term it sure would. But for the next few years it sure costs a lot of $ unless it's structured to escalate late in the 6 years.
  4. Post padding It's a thing
  5. LOL come on gimme a break LOL We're also "one of the guys" when we post on here
  6. I think when the season is starting, a lot of people who don't follow during the winter will go looking for boards and choose this one
  7. f*** we had better depth when we had DeRosa and Hech!! Edit - I guess they were never on the team at same time but still...
  8. Yep, and the way GM's are extending pitchers these days it's going to get harder to buy a team and plug holes. Hmmm, now that I say that, that might help us a bit vs BOS and NYY.
  9. Yep. We still have no depth at 3B, SS or 1B. If any of Reyes EE Lawrie misses 60+ days it REALLY hurts.
  10. Neat year's FA crop is going to be crap We really should extend Colby now
  11. King was there WAY ahead of anyone else. You, me and GordieDougie are poised to hit it next Rock on
  12. Awesome. Can't wait to read this.
  13. To be honest, the team felt a bit less "corporate owned" when Ted Rogers was still alive.
  14. I just realized that Gardner is 30. I thought he was a few years younger than that. Yeah, probably just a fair deal both ways. Colby is 3 years younger, with higher peaks but much lower lows than Gardner. Gardner has been very consistent. Teams really like that obviously and are willing to pay for it.
  15. I was being too subtle perhaps
  16. Keep this to the Kalfus foolishness thread please. Thank you.
  17. f*** Great deal for Yankees. Dammit.
  18. Not at all. I was making the same point you just did. If the Steinbrenners and Illychs of the world want to give their GM's money to overpay guys like Fielder and Tanaka that's their prerogative. As you say - they have no one else to answer to but themselves. That gives them an advantage of a sort unless they're absolutely stupid with the money (and I might suggest this is the case with Fielder). But as long as you're putting a winning team on the field and selling tickets and making TV revenue (or just blowing your life savings out of desperation to see your team win a WS) then so be it. So what if the wins are acquired inneficiently? You probably don't care all that much. You just want to keep the fanbase happy and get to take the podium with your team in late October.

  20. And DAMN but he'd look good in the rotation right now
  21. I'm starting to seriously doubt it too, even though I had presumed Lott had reliable sources on the topic. It just seems so out of character in retrospect given what's happened since. That said, they would have presumably had the financial flexibility to do it before the Marlins trade. So it's possible they are willing to dabble in the FA market at that price range VERY selectively. But let's face it - family businesses and rich old men seem more willing to put money on the line than this corporate owned entity.
