Oh I'm not...the original post said 2 good year and one bad one. They weren't 2 good ones, they were 2 great ones. Is there any possibility the ADHD drugs mean that much to him?

The Red Sox will once they see HamRam there in Spring Training. Good thing he's at winter ball learning the new position....oh wait.

By good you mean great right? 7.0 & 5.6 WAR seasons are more than merely good. Perhaps my sarcastic meter is broken again?

This is hilarious. This photo is from the Smith Brothers Indoor Baseball Facility in the hamlet of New Lowell, Ontario (which is where I still play men's hardball). I actually did the site servicing design for this facility. My 5 year old son is enrolled in their t-ball program and the Owner was setting up for this and telling me all about it last Sunday. I don't think this is exactly what it appears to be. Smith Brothers run the Central Ontario Reds baseball team, which is a Fall/Winter developmental program for youth baseball players. This kid is in the program and if I had to guess, I bet it was them that approached the kid/family about doing a little promo event to raise a bit of money for the team. They're always doing some sort of promo event, including training sessions and dinner gala's with the likes of Mookie Wilson and Devon White. I ran into Devon White earlier this year, which was kinda cool. Obviously if someone has pictures of this guy signing autographs at like 3 other events, then I stand corrected.

Apparently John Hart took this advice

Giles for Velasquez, Oberholtzer and Derek Fisher......young power relievers sure seem to be fetching a lot on the open market these days...

Petit to the Nats

Wow..seems odd to just give up Lawrie for nothing...

So 7 people didn't abandon ship?

They just traded for Castro. That tells you all you need to know about how rich and well-staffed the Yankees organization is.

you could say the same thing about Travis really. Traded for Anthony Gose ffs. Old prospect with a good bat and questionable defense. I don't think anyone is saying he's going to be Robbie Cano, but they've been spending and trading a lot to try and fill that hole when they might have a better option in house.

Refsnyder profiles like Devon Travis a bit...

Gregorius just put up a 3.1 WAR season...that's better than Tulo was last year and surpasses anything Jeter did since 2009. They've already have replaced Jeter - Castro's playing 2nd.

Well they need an OFer now that they gave away Inciarte... Delgado and Rubby would be great targets. I'm also thinking that now is a good time to call Stewart about Archie Bradley.... Dickey & Revere for DLR, Delgado and Bradley....get'r done.

This is how I see the deal going down... Hart "Hey Dave, you still interested in Miller?" Stewart "Yeah we are, what do you need in return? We really like him" Hart "Well I just dealt Simmons, so we need a shortstop. Is there anyway you'd part with Swanson? I know he's one of the best top prospects in baseball, but he'd be a great fit here" Stewart "Yeah I think we could include him. Man these cat video's on Facebook are FUNNNNNYY" Hart (internally) "Holy s*** guys - this f***ing moron just agreed to give up Swanson for Miller - we've hit the jackpot" Coppolella "John, Dave Stewart's an idiot - ask for more. We need another OF" Hart "Good call John - that's why I promoted you man!" Hart (takes Stewart off hold) "Dave, are you still awake? OK, well after some discussion, we like Swanson, but prospect smospect, they aren't a sure thing. I need a real ML player in this deal. We want you to include Ender Inciarte. You're OF is stacked and he's got no power anyway. Chicks dig the long ball man. If I ran a team in Arizona, I'd want as many hot chicks in bikini's at the game as I could get" Stewart "Great point John - we should have a bikini promo day....I'm not even sure who Inciarte is, so sure, let's include him. I'm having wet dreams of having Grienke and Miller together" Hart (internally) "Coppolella, you're a genius, this guy is a dope" Hart "Stewart - toss in Aaron Blair and you have a deal" Stewart "DONE" Hart (internally) "I feel bad about this. Dave's not going to have a job much longer. No owner is this stupid" Stewart (internally) "boooooya boys - .500 baseball, here we come!"

Holy s*** our pets heads are falling off....has Dave Stewart gone mad?

Bobcat was talking to Jamie Campbell about this matter last night (re-signing EE & Jose) and Jamie commented on how much defense that Jose brings to the table. Funny stuff.

That's an interesting debate - Do you take Davis or Cespedes? Unless you're convinced the improvements Cespedes made with both the bat and the glove last year are sustainable, then Davis is a superior player (in spite if his defensive short comings).

This sounds amazing. EE (screw 10/5 rights), Dickey and Thole for Bregman!!!

palm to face. F

he is?

70 innings of Smith was almost as valuable as 193 innings by Miley last year.....although I do think Miley is a very solid starter.

I think people are f***ing with you Doc. At least I hope they are.

Are they projecting Matt Hague's numbers in Korea (errr Japan, wherever we sold him to?) #needaneditor

your avatar is creepy.
