Mellow out. I guess it's true what they say about new Yorkers.
No brah. You need to keep that name forever for the sake of the tennis threads.
Cause the Angels are probably the lamest team to root for.
In the history of any sport.
Looks like the Pirates are going to have to go all in for Upton, simply trade for some low impact players alongside bringing up Marte if they want a bat this season. The only other hitter we seem to have interest in is Victorino, and apparently the asking price is too high on him right now. Maybe we can trade McGehee for a serviceable outfielder?
Seems like we're better off solidifying our pitching, and making due with what we have internally as far as offense is concerned. Would be nice if we could pick up a decent SS. Barmes is a defensive wizard but his hitting is pedestrian as fuck.
I think we're going to break .500 no matter what, but playoff contention depends on what we do before this trade deadline.

I'm in a good mood 95% of the time. It's true though, the brah stuff is tired, you need something new. Don't hate, just trying to help a brah out.

Who would openly cheer for a team that traded Mike Napoli for Vernon Wells?

Nah mate, it's the hotdog ketchup deal. I don't have a problem with anybody but Selig and Loria.
Don't forget Torts!
Had a hotdog with ketchup a few minutes ago, mmmm. Hate mustard.
His swing is so short. When was the last time a rookie dominated like this?

Sounds like something Hawk would say.
And where are the Rangers planning on playing Jurickson when he comes up? Thinking about watching at the stadium this week.
Fuck New Yorkers, California fans, Jon Lester, and your favorite team.
Just come over to the good side, man.
Depends on what they do with Andrus.
Braves will take him back.

I mean can Elvis play the outfield or are we talking trade?
Probably a trade. I think Ian Kinsler would move to the outfield if anybody.
no he is right. you sound like an idiot saying brah every 5 seconds.

How are rookie contracts structured in the mlb?
Adam Blade
WWKC
Whew, still gonna be in 2nd place by the end of tonight.
Well, unless they already signed a long term major league deal, a la Cespedes, they get paid the minimum, which is, what, $480,000 a season now? So in reference to Trout, he would make a prorated portion of the league minimum for the amount of games played this year.

How long is his contract?
There's no entry level contracts on MLB. He gets paid minimum the first 2 years (I think) and then he goes to arbitration every year after until he can go to Free Agency. Players are eligible for Free Agency after 6 years of service.
I may be way off on the years but that's basically it.
Arbitration depends on when the players get called up in the year, and whether they qualify for Super Two status. It's 6 seasons of control, but if you time it right, you can get about 4 months of play in a season out of a rookie without having them play enough to have their playing time that year actually qualify as a year of service time.
So for example, Jason Heyward was called up on Opening Day in 2010 and played most of the whole season (minus time on DL, which I believe still counts for service time), so 2010 was his first full season. The Braves get 5 more years of control of Heyward. On the other hand, in 2009 the Braves called up Tommy Hanson around the beginning of June, and his amount of time on the roster fell short of qualifying for an actual season. Therefore the Braves had control of him for 4 months of 2009 plus another 6 seasons of control.
The regular breakdown is 1st year: minimum; 2nd and 3rd: minimum + raise of team's choosing; 4th: 1st arb; 5: 2nd arb; 6th: 3rd arb.
However, if a player qualifies for Super Two status, then it's the minimum for 1 and 2, and then 4 years of arbitration starting in year 3. The qualifiers for S2 were altered in the new CBA I believe, but it used to be something about being in the top 17% of players during the first two years of service. You can google this part for a more accurate answer.
After the 6th year of control, if the player hasn't signed an extension, then they can file for Free Agency.
Who are you again? Oh, an irrelevant person to me.

Congrats. Still irrelevant to me.
