frank wren for exec of the year

 

[Macattk15]

Allegedly the Jays offered both 3 years/$27m. If they can get either for $9m a year, that'd be...tolerable.

I wouldn't mind the M's paying Ubaldo ... you can keep Ervin away though.

Watching McCann in an interview and he was all smiles..

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN
Yankees quietly encouraged and excited about what they see in Michael Pineda-- signs of velocity increase. A big X-factor for them.

I want to believe.

 

[Dominican Power]

I want to believe.

THAT TAN FLAG THAT'S ALL ME!!!!!!

He's gonna go too hard in ST and blow out something. Just you wait!

Was his elbow in the M's minor leagues and then his shoulder with you guys!

Meanwhile, we have fat, postion-less and useless Montero.

MLB may never find another face to replace Derek Jeter.

By Jayson Stark

Honestly, living in California, Jeter has never been "the face" for me.

If you're a Yankee fan it sure is. Other fan bases? Doesn't matter.

Mets GAF prepare to cry. Eric Young Jr. has the inside track to make the team. Collins said he's the leader to bat leadoff. Lagares would go back to AAA.

What the fuck Terry...

I like Young, but Lagares should absolutely be the day 1 CF and it baffles me that TC would have him start in AAA.

I like Young, but Lagares should absolutely be the day 1 CF and it baffles me that TC would have him start in AAA.

They're worried he can't hit for shit. More from the recent talks:

In listening to Collins today and his talk with SNY, hearing Sandy on WFAN this week, and putting it all together with how this roster is constructed, the only thing we know is this: Granderson will play every day in left field. Otherwise, I think both Eric and Chris Young and Lagares will rotate in and out and around center field, right and second base, with Murphy getting more days off and a bit of time at corner infield. I just don’t think any spot will be set in stone. They may want to lock in to a lineup, but I just don’t see how it happens, unless they send Lagares to Triple-A, which would be a crime.

According to multiple reports, if Duda wins the starting job, Davis will either be demoted or traded. In the event Davis wins the job, Duda could be demoted, but may also stay on the big-league bench as a left-handed power bat and extra outfielder.

Wilmer Flores will play some games at shortstop this spring, Terry Collins announced Friday in St. Lucie. Collins said last week that he will also use Flores at second and third base (Kernan, Feb. 4).

Team reports indicate Flores improved his agility and quickness at this winter’s strength and fitness camp.

“If that’s the case,” Collins said, “I want to see it.”

Otherwise, as it stands, Omar Quintanilla and Ruben Tejada will compete to be the team’s starting shortstop.

According to Collins, Anthony Seratelli is a viable option as a back-up infielder.

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn Murph playing some corner OF? Don't like that. All this moving around.

 

[CygnusXS]

Sounds like the makings of a Wild Card winner to me!

You mean you don't like this?

This experiment failed once already. Bringing back the LOL's is fine by me.

edit: or THIS lol

Still pretty surprised they didn't trade either Davis or Duda.

Anyway, the Mets have some solid parts, but they're struggling to see where all of them fit. Still a year away from contention imo.

And one of the best council leaders gets banned.

RIP Sanjuro.

Don't you put that evil on me!

Fuck Da Knicks.

Forever and always.

Braves and Julio Teheran's deal is confirmed to be a 6-year, $32.4 million extension. The deal buys out all of Teheran's arbitration years and his first two years of free agency. The deal also has a club option for 2020 worth $12 million with a $1 million buyout.

I think Trout and Harper are on their way to being the new faces.

I don't understand who is who or what was said.

And one of the best council leaders gets banned.

RIP Sanjuro.

Don't you put that evil on me!

Forever and always.

I told you to cut that buddy-buddy crap already. he's the enemy now.

 

[CheDominik]

I think Trout and Harper are on their way to being the new faces.

Harper seems to rub people the wrong way. Just like Pete Rose did.

Trout though I agree. It still keeps me up at night that we passed on him in the draft for Jared Mitchell. Never heard of him? Well I'm not surprised.
Yeah I know every team could fill pages of players they passed on, but still...

just imagine.....

Eric Stephen ‏@truebluela

Dodgers offering $10 parking for people who buy in advance. But Dodger Stadium parking prices at gate will increase to $15

Stan Kasten pushing the parking increase as a way to speed up ingress. Scanning parking pass faster than paying at gate

So basically buy your parking pass early or else we're going to make you spend $5 for making people wait longer.

I'm okay with this.

 

[El_Chino]

I need to see the bench.

The things that man has seen.

[BOB SHEPPARD VOICE]"now batting, number 6, center fielder, Mike Trout"[/BOB SHEPPARD]

Well instead you have Teixeira for how many years?

I'm just glad there's gonna be single game tickets this year to buy. Heard a rumor that ticket holders was gonna buyout all tickets. Just a rumor.

if I had to i'm ok going in with relatives sharing/buying season tickets.

The Braves start to arrive for Spring Training:

Freddie Freeman has got Dan Uggla carrying his bags!

Freddie putting that money to good use hiring one of his teammates as his bat boy.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Uggla still on the team?

Uh oh RBH lighting penis on fire..lol

 

[Jubs]

Jeter dated Tyra Banks? Never knew that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Uggla still on the team?

Uh oh RBH lighting penis on fire..lol

Yes. Believe it or not, the Braves couldn't find anybody that wanted him.

 

[CygnusXS]

Maybe we'll get lucky, Uggla will rebound a little, and by July one of the Dodgers or Yankees will come knocking.

 

[JCizzle]

Getting the mlb.TV renewal notice just reminded me that FOX agreed to give up out of market blackouts on their Saturday games starting this year. Fucking stoked!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ned is not knocking on that door. Cashman is a wild card.

 

[Zep]

Cashman wants HanRam...All of him.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

HanRam ain't walking through that door. I WON'T LET HIM GO.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Has it been said if Heidi Watney is doing Quick Pitch again this year?

 

[Friggz]

HanRam ain't walking through that door. I WON'T LET HIM GO.

i am curious what the yankees are going to do for short stop next year. i think they are waiting for the Aledmys Diaz situation to play out before they do anything with stephen drew. But id love the farm to have a big year so they can package up something for Tulo..Hanley is obviously nasty, but i feel a full time move to third is only a year or two away.

 

[Pryce]

HanRam ain't walking through that door. I WON'T LET HIM GO.

Do you want him if it requires a 5+ year deal?

I'd let him walk if it took that long of a contract.

 

[zulux21]

that's good, now i can catch my fox games if i get mlb.tv this year (i accidently let the audio renew but i am ok with this)

Yeah I know every team could fill pages of players they passed on, but still...

now now I know jared mitchell mighty future star of the white sox organization as soon as he figures out how to hit, how to defend, and stops hurting himself

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'd let him walk if it took that long of a contract.

The max I'd give him is 5. Knowing Ned he'll give him 6.
