I always thought this would be Selig's last middle finger to the fans. I hope I'm wrong.

Lol, Tom Verducci is a fucking clown who has been banging that drum for two decades. Fuck him.
Dontrelle Willis has been released.

I was so excited when Detroit traded for him and Miguel. It was my senior year of high school and I'll never forget that phone call from my buddy. We talked about the possibilities in Detroit for an hour and even went to his home opener against the White Sox. I've never been so disappointed by a player for any team in my life.
You cut me deep Dontrelle, real deep

I have Dontrelle as my #5 in The Show, ratings edited a bit to more reflect the potential he once showed instead of the abomination he became.

Andy is back with the Yankees?

The Show is the most realistic baseball game out there, maybe their on to something? Anyways, Johan will start today! Around 4 innings or 60 pitches.

Probably MLB.com. But I would not go near that. You will never find a more wretched hive of

WAT!
This is more surprising than the Pineda trade. I wonder what this means for Hughes. Glad to have him back.
H3ro, where are the Andy pics?
They're coming, believe me, they're coming.

RETURN OF DANDY ANDY.
OH MY GOD, OF ALL THE DRAMATIC THINGS <3 <3 <3
I guess this means that if Andy's good, then Freddy Garcia is going to be given his walking papers.
...and this could be a hedge against any bad starters (like if Pineda needs time in the minors, or if Kuroda is bad).

Where does Pettitte fit in the rotation? Seems like they're already not too sure about Pineda being ready.
Questions for those of you who play fantasy baseball:
1. Would Buster Posey be worth keeping at a cost of a first round pick in a keeper H2H league?
Was hard to hold on to him after receiving a trade for him before the 2011 season as everyone knows his leg blew up.
I don't know much about baseball, but my impression is that decent catchers are a rare breed.
------------
2. Should I also hold on to Jose Reyes for the same reason at the cost of a first/second round pick or are there any SS on the look-out in the draft?

He won't be ready until May at the earliest with June being the most probable. So, the rotation will be intact until then. When he comes back I imagine that they let go of Garcia or trade him and Hughes being sent to the bullpen or possibly him being traded as well.
Also Pineda is a lock for the rotation unless something drastic happens like an injury or he gets bombed the rest of spring training. People are overreacting at his velocity right now, it's still spring training.
A move to first base could be looming in the coming years, so watch out for that.
Is the implication of that move is he loses the catcher title and only holds 1B, not C + 1B for fantasy baseball?
I guess another thing to consider is if I'm in this for the long run although it'll be risky since I don't know if Buster Posey will return to form.
He's a young player though.
I'm going to go with not keeping him. I kept him throughout the whole season last year after his season ending injury because I didn't want anyone to get a freebie keeper for this season.

What a shame that Utley was cursed with a degenerative knee disease. Maybe he'll stay in the NL when the DH is accepted in the NL
hopefully never.
In the report I read about Andy coming back they were saying that there is a chance that Pineda might move down to the minors for the start of the season.
Also, apparently Andy has been throwing BP for the team and got the itch to come back. It will be interesting to see how long he stays in the minors getting ready.

First Moss now him? Who's next
Maybe Michael Jordan will unretire again and make the Bobcats a respectable team?

Yeah, the Marcum/Lawrie trade isn't looking very good in hindsight.

Alright Royals vs Brewers. I think I'll start out by listening to the Brewers feed for the first few innings.
EDIT: Also, Sal Perez is out for 12-14 weeks

ESPN's article said Pettitte "wasn't ready to accept" a $10 million offer in December. He said he needed six weeks and Cashman said he didn't have six weeks. They ended up giving the $10 million to Kuroda and acquired Pineda all in one swoop.
Sounds good to me. The Mariners have always had some good turnouts from their international spending in the past / present.

Man, LoCain is going to be every bit as good as Melky. Between Cain and Escobar, the Grienke trade looks even better in hindsight.
