Haha wow.
Mets will only get a third round pick from the Marlinsif when he signs with them.
Not even trying to trade him at the deadline was such a colossal mistake.

Bobby V is reportedly already on his way to the Dominican to court David Ortiz.
Maybe he'll bring some wrap sandwiches with him?

I'm sold.
Oh I'm fairly sure this will happen. About Mauer. The meme that doesn't die about Mauer is that he's a big pussy.
I don't think the Twins will be 30 games out of first. I don't think they're going to win 90 games or anything crazy, but I think they'll be close to .500, and they're in a crappy division.

I think the Twins are going to be spending quite a while looking up the standings at Detroit and Kansas City.
so is 2012 the year that kansas city finally breaks out?
I wanted him to be dealt, but at the same time I understand that Alderson really couldn't have made that move in NY... Wilpons need dem seats with butts.
If this situation came up in SD, he would have been dealt. He has to at least pretend that he's going to make an effort to re-sign him.

I'm guessing 2013, but I think it's inevitable. They still have lots of guys on the farm to bring up.
Twins fans can take solace that at the very least, they'll probably be better than the White Sox for years and years.

Can baseball start again already? 
I think Detroit played really well last year, but they have pretty brutal defense and that shit will catch up with a team. It did to the 2011 Twins. Kansas City looks like they'll be good in a year or two, too, but I mean who knows. It all depends on how all the pitchers work out.
I think 2012 will be a transitional year for the Twins. Their best prospects are all pretty young and probably won't be ready until 2014 (Hicks, Sano, Rosario), at least two members of the starting staff are FAs after the year, and they are going to have quite a few stop gap players on this year's roster. If Mauer & Morneau are both healthy and productive (I realize this is a huge if), they have a decent shot at a winning record. And really in the Comedy Central, that's a decent shot at winning the division.
I don't know, the drastic improvement from a Bill Smith led front office to a Terry Ryan led front office can't be understated. They have a lot of younger players that should start moving up in the system now, Gibson on the mend from TJ, and a great chance at a great prospect this year in the draft (Mark Appel pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease). I don't think they're going to be the '90s Twins, but there's a lot of work to do.
seems like you thought it was the funniest.

Feds open SEC probe into Miami Marlins stadium deal:
http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/12/02/2529191/feds-open-sec-probe-into-miami.html
not too surprising considering the amount of controversy with the building of the stadium and reports of the marlins actually being financially healthy not to mention them being the Yankees this offseason.
seems kinda late though...

I hope they put Loria behind bars and Selig takes over the team and ships them to Montreal.

This being released a couple days before the winter meetings is NUUUUUUUUUUUUUTS. I wonder if it would make sense to just start spending money like crazy, to go out and get Pujols AND Fielder and Reyes and Buehrle!
can't wait for the 2014 firesale!

Loria's a huge scumbag. Looks like Brahman was right after all.

Just in time really. Feds want to see Jose back in New York!
Playoffs are over sadly. I didn't get around to watching any of the other series after that first one, the time difference is just too much.We need some more japanese baseball streams to watch together!
Don't think I've ever asked, are you Québécois?
Listening to yesterday's McCown; gotta say, I've kinda liked the idea of signing Prince for 6-7 years from the start, but these goons are talking about 10 years. Prince never said anything about 10 did he?

Blue Jays just traded Brad Mills for Jeff Mathis.
Bahaha.
AA must have felt really bad about the Vernon Wells deal. That's the only plausible explanation that makes any sense.

Seriously? I'd sprain my elbow reaching for a pen to make this deal. Thing is the Rays can't be that down on Upton, could they?

No way that deal happens. I guess we can dream, though.

Not sure why the Rays would want a poor man's Ben Zobrist when they also already have Sean Rodriguez on the roster. Daniel Murphy is definitely a Rays type of player though, would have more value if he could actually stay healthy.
Bobby Parnell, haha. I can even admit he's worthless now.

A going on thirty-seven Japanese pitcher is not what I want to be looking at opening day.

Look at the bright side. 30 starts from Kuroda next year is the 30 starts John Lackey got this year. Red Sox are gonna take the AL East now. It's a great move for the Sox assuming it happens.
I agree. Gotta understand current mindset too. Fucking fat ass American pitchers in their 20s can't go up to 200 innings anyway.

... Upton dogs it on every play and is a festering cancer? I must've missed that.
Apparently you did.

At least Upton can be fixed. Pretty much no hope for Hanley, he thinks he's the bee's knees.
I don't think "fixing" can really apply here. Both can be productive when they want to be. They are both just chilling under the same mango tree.

Mathis is a Blue Jay.
