I know right? ONe of them always bitches about you giving more attention to the other one... or wow your dick is way bigger than that eastcoast guy and...... s*** I've said too much

That was probably Pedroia in a wig.

I'd give him 8, just not sure I'd want to guarantee 4 years. 3 with a club option I could live with.

Not sure I'd want to go four years with Infante so maybe that's why he's not already signed somewhere.

Just no need, a slide to the outside part of the plate and he'd have just as good a shot at being safe.

They're in a hotel, anyone can go in and just hangout.

Makes no sense to match up those names at all.

fixed that for you

Gotta pay extra for that kind of action.

Well, just from watching baseball year in and year out, home plate collisions really don't happen all that often. But the severity of injuries that can occur, most notably concussions, it's just something that can easily be avoided and lose nothing from the experience of a close play at the plate.

Why booooooo? Health and safety of players should be a primary concern of any sports league, and if you can eliminate the possibility of potentially devastating injuries on a play that doesn't add anything to the game(IMO) why not do it?

Eye on Baseball ‏@EyeOnBaseball 1h MLB set to ban home-plate collisions, needs MLBPA approval http://cbsprt.co/1jPirkJ via @cbssports It's about time. Zero need for it. The rule itself isn't finalized and the wording still being worked on and re-done, but the gist will be that if the catcher doesn't have the ball and is in the baseline, it will be obstruction, and the runner cannot run over the catcher if he does have the ball, he would have to slide or do something else to avoid the tag.

Either I missed it, or they didn't talk about it. All I heard was talk about a guitar, then Halladay's winning percentage as why he should be a first ballot hall of famer(DEEEEEEEERP), JPA probably wont "find it" in Texas and Zaun is heading through western Canada for some reason and is going to take some radio guy from Calgary for a beer.

By Steve Adams [December 10 at 2:02pm CST] The heavily rumored three-team trade between the Angels, Diamondbacks and White Sox has been completed, a source tells Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Mark Trumbo and a pair of players to be named later will head to the Diamondbacks, Adam Eaton will join the White Sox and Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs are headed to the Angels (Twitter links). The Diamondbacks were set on acquiring either Trumbo or Shin-Soo Choo at this week's Winter Meetings, according to earlier reports. He will slot into the outfield for the D-Backs, which isn't a perfect fit for Arizona given his defensive shortcomings in the outfield. Trumbo has belted 66 home runs over the past two seasons, posting a .250/.305/.471 batting line. In 992 innings as an outfielder throughout his career, Trumbo has a -7.0 UZR/150. While his walk rate climbed to a career-best eight percent in 2013, that's still below the league average, and it came along with a career-worst 27.1 percent strikeout rate. Still, he should provide a great deal of power to a D-Backs outfield that finished last in the Majors in home runs in 2013. In fact, Trumbo's mark of 34 homers alone ties the collective mark posted by Arizona outfielders last season.

Sent you a sample through the website.

Jays minor leaguer Brad Glenn being a bit derpy on twitter: Brad Glenn‏@bombs_punchies "Cano 81R+107RBI= 187 total runs / Trumbo 85R+100RBI=185 total runs... Cano 24M/ year at 2b, whats Trumbo worth at 1B/OF?" Brad Glenn ‏@bombs_punchies "Trumbo hit 34HR (4th) and had 100RBI(8th) and people are honestly questioning his worth because of his OBP? #pencilpushers #neverstrappedup"

Article on Rajai's baserunning from Dave Cameron at Fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/a-fun-tidbit-on-rajai-davis/ The bones of it, "Since he debuted, he’s 8th in baseball in baserunning value, and the seven guys ahead of him all got at least 1,000 more plate appearances than he did."

Taglines for days!

I really wish I knew the context of this. Because it will either be hilarious, or completely retarded.

Whether it's "elite" or not it's pretty much meaningless.

Yeah, it's a transcript so there's a few pretty obvious errors in the typing of names at some points.
