Is Lilly's contract guaranteed?
Halladay(Healthy)/Lee/Hamels is pretty damn good.
I know Doc was hurt last season and his velocity was down, but Roy Halladay is a cyborg. I still think those three can help the Phillies win a lot of games if they can get solid middle relief and an offense that scores more than 2.5 runs per game.
I think the Nationals rotation will be really good next season too.
Strasburg/Gio/Haren
Rotoworld doesn't say it isn't, so I'm going to assume it is. I haven't been following Dodger forums as much as I usually do, but I also haven't read anyone talk about cutting him loose as though he wasn't guaranteed.
Strasburg/Gio/Zimmermann/Haren says hello
Cool, they can say hi, and they might even win, but the point is that I wouldn't feel the Dodgers were definitively outmatched in such a scenario, whereas I certainly would have felt that way before.
Dodgers need to hook me up with just a couple hundred K's so I can actually afford med school. Take it out of Carl Crawfords contract :^)

We said the same when sanchito got an extension. Gotta take gambles. it's not gonna be another dreifort blunder
*knocks on wood*
Because you have more money than a Saudi prince. You know, like the Dodgers.
Does this mean the Rangers are going to resign Josh?
Rangers will sign him too.
They must be aiming for a $350,000,000 payroll.

I didn't know the NHLPA had Donald Fehr as their leader. MLB GAF should support NHL GAF. it's the only other sports GAF I like actually.

Huh, and here I thought all the signs pointed to Greinke heading to Texas. I hope this works out.
NHL won't change until Bettman is out. There needs to be new leadership for the owners and the NHL. Can't really trust a guy who canceled a season because things needed to be changes only to cancel it again because the changes he made sucked.

Already got a breakdown on Greinke's 6-year, $147 million deal with the Dodgers.
-- No no-trade clause, although he will have 5-10 protection in 2018
-- Due to the new CBA, since Greinke was traded mid-season, the Dodgers do not have to surrender a draft pick to the Angels
-- $12 million signing bonus
-- No player/club options; straight-up six-year deal
2013: $17 million
2014: $24 million
2015: $23 million
2016: $24 million
2017: $23 million
2018: $24 million

The Mets are looking for outfield and catching prospects, not a third baseman and pitching, so I doubt that deal would happen. They already have enough OF converts of their own.

Arencibia and Gose sounds good to me. What you think?

The Autumn Wind
Yeah, I'd lean toward pulling the trigger on that, though I've heard mixed opinions on Gose.
Player can opt out after year 3 - if he's traded, then he can opt out THAT year.
Nope nope nope.
Arencibia and his career .275 OBP can stay his ass right in Toronto.
Gose has speed but apparently not much else.
If that's the best Sandy can do, he failed. Miserably.
maybe

The Autumn Wind
Which is probably why the deal wasn't made.
Do you remember when the Nats traded him away when they were shit, because he was also shit?
I forgot that he was on the nationals.

and im sure plenty of wives of players on the pirates can teach them how to throw too.
Can they teach them how to hit? steal bases? hit doubles? get on base? Because that would be great! Also teach McCutchen how NOT to shit the bed every 2nd half ?
