No, I just think its weird that people still bring that up. I think that's why they didn't do Org ratings for 2013.
If you want to really mock Dave, check out his Mariners Future 40 from 2009:

Carlos Triunfel, future star!
You can make anyone look dumb by posting an old prospect list.
#6org is still funny because it's still relevant. When they get a different, smarter regime that actually makes good decisions then it will stop being referenced.
Whereas the Braves can always become the Barves, and the Mets can always be the Mest.

I'm fine with him in the booth too. Especially since he was gone before. But that's really just me missing him being there.
I dunno though. I feel like at some point you need to draw the line. I dont have kids, so this really isnt valid from my pov, but at some point you have to draw the line. The guy had something like 75 incidents involving the police. I get that Jerry wants to help his son, but this guy is a monster.
The article even furthers him as a monster. Point with Remy is even if he distanced himself, he would still be getting criticism. He would also still be involved with his granddaughter as well.
My thing is, I feel like it would be better for him and his family to be together and out of the public light during the trial. But I say that as someone who is entirely exogenous to their situation so maybe they would rather act like everything is normal. I can't know. Just seems weird to me.
It's lousy situation, but whatever he and NESN wants to do is fine with me. I don't see the link unless someone is trying to stretch.
Right now we have people threatening to boycott broadcasts if Remy and Sizemore are there opening day. Hard life!

You just described like 4 different Atlanta Braves you're gonna have to be more specific.
Well I guess the good girl falling for the bad guy thing is very true. I can't imagine how he managed to go through so many women before he settled on the final one. It's a scary exercise in futility really.

Bobby Abreu's probably going to make the Phillies. Amaro #1.

Isn't a good thing that they are at the top of the list?
They'll be at the bottom by the end of the season.
I'm assuming they calculated Reyes and he is still worth 0.

It always seems to work better when you throw the book out of the window. I remember in Bobby's last season, people were begging him for weeks to put Prado lead-off and Heyward second. He finally did it, and the offense exploded.

So ia this big news? Local WalMart had this on the shelf all ready, I didn't even think it had gone gold. Release date at the store is Monday. Is that what we thought? I thought it was a later release date
I wonder how much room left they have for the trade deadline
I liked Baker a lot, but consider the lowered expectations of Twins fans. He's a pretty extreme fly ball pitcher so I am not sure how he'll do in Arlington, but he's not awful.
Buxton will probably start the season on the DL with a wrist injury.

anyone know if mlb tv is free for a weekend/preseason?
I don't think I've seen that more than once at the beginning of the season. That could have been a one-off but you'd have to check the Media Center daily to be sure. There is a free game every day of the regular season if you're not interested in picking the game you watch.

There's your bang for the buck winner. High quality team for the price.
I like the small ice cream helmets every so often. When I'm in glutton mode, not a sweets guy.
Those two clowns better not be in the bullpen.
Blue Jays are going to have some high scoring games. It's going to take some surprising comeback stories for that pitching staff to avoid getting lit up fairly regularly. *sigh*

Happ on the DL and Esmil in the pen. McGowan is the fifth starter.
Our outfield is going to be so fucking nasty once Polanco comes up. We'll literally have an entire outfield consisting of players that can potentially be starting center fielders for many teams in the league.

I'm guessing Tabata gets moved at some point. Polanco is going to rake for the Bucs though.

MLB and the Union are supposedly going to agree to a new drug agreement this week.
Under the new terms, a first offense would be 100 games (up from 50 games). A second offense would be 162 games (up from 100 games). A third offense would be a lifetime ban.
Also, it would lower an offense deemed to be accidental use to 25 games and not count towards the "three strikes, you're out" system, much like positive tests for amphetamines are treated. Examples would be the Phillies' Freddy Galvis and the Giants' Guillermo Mota being suspended in 2012. Galvis used a foot cream that contained a banned substance (Clostebol Metabolite) and Mota used a cough syrup while he was sick that contained a banned substance (Clenbuterol).
The new agreement would close a loophole that allowed Alex Rodriguez to make nearly $4 million this season despite being suspended all 162 games. Players are paid on a 183-day scale, so an arbitrator ruled A-Rod was due payment for days he was not suspended, which totalled around $3.8 million of his $25 million salary.

Yup, it's already been reported that we're shopping him as well as some of our bullpen depth, since we're stacked at those positions. Polanco is a lock to come up in June, so there's no need to have him, Tabata and Snider.
We desperately need a 1B :|
