Keith Law already wrote a huge article on ESPN (insiders only) on why the Papelbon deal is one of the most pathetic contracts ever.
Wow. That was quick.AnEternalEnigma said:Carroll's deal with the Twins is a 2-year, $7 million deal. He will be Minnesota's everyday SS. Nishioka moves back to 2B.

New post for Insiders - the Phillies sign BJ Ry... I mean, Jonathan Papelbon

Sharp said:Why? Let's say Pujols has an average to down year and Reyes has a monster year and they accumulate 16 WAR. By Pythag the Marlins were 80 game winners and HanRam / Sanchez were worth a combined 4.3 WAR (damn, HanRam suuuuucked) so let's say that somehow they do a straight swap in production (I don't know where HanRam goes in this hypothetical scenario so maybe that's unfair, but whatever). That's a neat 11.7 WAR so if we play fast and loose with the numbers that means roughly a 92 win season. You really don't think the Braves can win 93 games next year? Like, there's not even a chance? They won 89 this year with an absolutely epic collapse down the stretch. Admittedly they vastly outperformed their Pythag though...
Nationwide merchandise and advertising market says "who the fuck is Jamey Carroll????"Lambtron said:Someone on a Twins blog I frequent posted a great comparison between Jamey Carroll & Derek Jeter.
Derek Jeter: born June 26, 1974.
Jamey Carroll: born February 18, 1974
Jeter: 0.7 rWAR last year, 1.3 rWAR year before.
Carroll: 1.8 rWAR last year, 3.1 rWAR year before.
Jeter: $16,000,000
Carroll: $3,500,000
Teehee.
I'm guessing Nathan is the one Twins free agent they re-sign. I think he'll retire a Twin.The Frankman said:Mets are going to have alot of closers to choose from in the market. They might target Nathan since he likes NY and is open to a 1-year incentive deal to boost his value, but it makes sense to wait everyone out and sign the last guy for cheap.

i miss the expos and the broke marlins, at least we still have the shitty mets.clemenx said:I hate the Marlins (all the division, really) but with the Mets out of the picture for at least a couple of years I'd love to see that, I really do.
Hell, let the Nats sign Fielder too. NL East baby.
Nope, Fielder will play 2nd base for the Marlins.clemenx said:I hate the Marlins (all the division, really) but with the Mets out of the picture for at least a couple of years I'd love to see that, I really do.

Well I hate the new unis, that's a start.darkside31337 said:Really hoping the Marlins literally land everybody, Reyes, Pujols, Darvish, Wilson, Cespedes etc and then do an awesome introduction Miami style just like the Heat did, with the proclamation of winning 5 World Series and such.
Baseball needs some new blood when it comes to mega heels. There needs to be a new target to hate along the same levels as the Yankees and Red Sox.

I never want to see Loria smile for what he did to the Expos and the Miami taxpayers.captmcblack said:Any world in which the Marlins are truly, sustainably great is one I don't want to live in.
Firesaling-ass motherfuckers.
That said, it would be some wild shit if the Marlfish were to land those big FAs like that. The Mets would be fucked essentially for the rest of the decade.
Also, hey guys...spent way too long out of this thread and off of this board.

I tried contacting you mofo! We need to hang out!
That sounds like a plan! We should invite some Mets of Yankee-GAFfers and talk about how much the Mets will suck!captmcblack said:My life has been filled with fail and busy for like, the last 2 months.
No basketball season has also destroyed me.
But hell yes, let's hang out. Wings, pepsi, football, manly tears over lack of Knicks basketball for 12 months?

Lol dem suits! The man knows wtf his doing by wearing these. And that meet-up sounds cool. We can talk about Alderson's Plan to make the New York Mets a somewhat competitve team in the National League East.The Frankman said:I miss this more:
Watching Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight tomorrow.The Frankman said:Can you guys meet tomorrow in Manhattan? Hopefully we can plan something right now...
What about an afternoon meetup before the match?Dmncnby2k9 said:Watching Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight tomorrow.

You mean you hope none of them happen. The Reyes deal I've heard is almost irresistable to someone with as large an injury history as him.McNei1y said:I'm shocked that the Marlins offered contracts to both. I see none of them happening though.
