The Darvish deal is not looking good

Salary: ask for 20m/y, offered 8m/y
Years: ask for 5y, offered 6y

back from US

Is he seriously asking for Roy Halladay money without pitching a single major league inning? :lol at the reported Rangers offer as well

 

[threenote]

Well if the Rangers don't sign Darvish, I guess they'll throw that money toward Fielder.

They'll end up getting neither.

 

[bryehn]

Yeah, Jamie Campbell was on the tour last year, just can't figure out why anyone would see Tabler as a draw.

Hey I like Tabby, he's like a fun, but simple "BBQ dad".

Gonna try and catch the winter tour stop in OTT tomorrow.

 

[eznark]

Brewers season saved!!

 

[Windu]

shoot him if he decides to walk on to the field.

decent bench bat though.

Yeah, but he is only useful as a right handed bat and the Brewers aren't exactly hurting there.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Conrad hit so many clutch home runs in 2010, it was crazy.

The magic went away last year though, save for one game-saving homer in the 9th off K-Rod.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

WFAN is reporting that Jorge Posada will be announcing his retirement within the next two weeks.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Angels and Howie Kendrick have agreed on a 4-year extension. Kendrick would have been a free agent after this season.

 

[MC Safety]

Bankruptcy experts have been hired by the Wilpons, but they want everyone to know they won't be proceeding with bankruptcy.

I hate the Wilpons.

Why couldn't they have borrowed their money from legbreakers?

 

[Corran Horn]

WFAN is reporting that Jorge Posada will be announcing his retirement within the next two weeks.

Aww I was hoping for more yankee drama with him.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Hip hip, Jorge.

Hip hip.

 

[talisayNon]

pfft Rod Barajas was better.

 

[Adam Blade]

Angels and Howie Kendrick have agreed on a 4-year extension. Kendrick would have been a free agent after this season.

4/33.5

 

[Sanjuro]

It's a warm enough winter. Can pitchers and catchers report early?

 

[Y2Kev]

I think Francesser cursed the Falcons with his Matty Ice manlove five years ago

 

[Windu]

the falcons are just trying to live up to all of the postseason success that atlanta sports franchises have had.

Hip Hip Jorge.

Good decision on his part.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Good-bye Jorge!

 

[captmcblack]

God bless you, Captain Urinehands.

God bless you, Jorge Posada.

 

[Joe]

yankees manager in 10 years.

 

[rekameohs]

Good for Jorge to not get some shitty one year deal on a non-Yankees team to end his career.

 

[Sanjuro]

Good for Jorge to not get some shitty one year deal on a non-Yankees team to end his career.

Instead he ended after a shitty divalicous season with the Yankees.

 

[Doytch]

Instead he ended after a shitty divalicous season with the Yankees.

Like a True Yankee®.

 

[Y2Kev]

hey guys i heard the steelers blah blah blah

 

[newjeruse]

One week closer to the NFL being done for the season. Thank god.

 

[darkside31337]

When do pitchers and catchers report?

 

[Malo]

When do pitchers and catchers report?

42 days for the Yankees.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

When do pitchers and catchers report?

Cant wait.

 

[captmcblack]

yankees manager in 10 years.

Not before Mattingly.

And Posada will be fucking GOOD as manager, if (unfortunately) similar to Girardi.

 

[Malo]

Not before Mattingly.

And Posada will be fucking GOOD as manager, if (unfortunately) similar to Girardi.

So we'll be bitching about Posada's own version of retardi in ten years, sweet.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Red Sox and Aaron Cook have agreed on a minor league deal with a spring training invite.

Jorgadi? I can't come up with anything right now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Not before Mattingly.

Varitek is better.

...but...but he managed with his mask on!

 

[Sharp]

The Nats are now the most functional major sports franchise in D.C. I don't know how I feel about that.

 

[talisayNon]

Did the Caps trade Ovechkin and Semin?

Lez be real brah brah

 

[Sharp]

Lez be real brah brah

Most functional franchise, not best team.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Will Tebow get voted in?

 

[bryehn]

Just heard on The Fan that the Jays picked up Darren Oliver on a one year deal with an option for another.

Oliver will earn $4 million in 2012, with a club option valued at $3 million for the following season. To make room on the 40-man roster, utility man Mark Teahen was designated for assignment.

 

[Sanjuro]

Jays need Fielder. They would have a really nice team to go with those sexy unis.

Jose and Prince. 3/4 spots, rotate depending on the starter.

 

[eznark]

Will Tebow get voted in?

At least as deserving as Jim Rice

 

[Doytch]

Jays need Fielder. They would have a really nice team to go with those sexy unis.

Second sentence, true.
First sentence, notsomuch.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Expectations are a wonderful thing. Then your bullpen shits the bed and you are in the same place you were before.

 

[Sanjuro]

First sentence, notsomuch.

Well need is a strong word. It would be pretty nice to see Prince in the division

 

[Doytch]

Though Yescobar / Lawrie / Fats / Bats / LindE5RasmusArencibiaSniderKelly toss-up would be pretty awesome.

 

[h3ro]

Jorgadi? I can't come up with anything right now.

Postarda.

 

[Malo]

Postarda.

Postardo.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Barry Larkin is elected to the Hall of Fame. Only inductee in 2012.

 

[Windu]

Thank god Morris didn't get in.

 

[CajoleJuice]

I like the big bump Bagwell got. Raines, too.
