The Mariners are out of their minds. Don't do it dammit. Think of your family! Think of your fans!

Dodgers grabbed Nomar for a broadcasting deal and going after the Bulldog too? Man. Much better than Steve Lyons and Eric Collins.
no nonononononononononononononono. Please no.
It would be interesting to see if this perception of "hustle" correlated at all with long term productivity.
On the one hand, it stands to reason that people trying harder will last longer. On the other, it stands to reason that people going 100% all the time will be more likely to suffer injury. I can tell say with no uncertainty that Yadier Molina does not even attempt to sprint to first every time he bats, and I'm very glad he doesn't try.

He's always in the lineup though. I'll take not hustling to first for not missing games.
Well you highlighted the problem with that, which is that "hustle" is only a concept reserved for some players. It'd be easier to compare the hustlers versus the non-hustlers if the term were applied evenly.
He's from south Florida, so I could understand him ending up there.

Yeah I'd much rather trade Ethier. I just don't see what we would get in return for Kemp.

Ellsbury would be a good fit with The Giants and he'll be a lot of closer to home.
I FUCKING LOVE IT

Damn Hot Stove is sizzling!
Almost!
He's owed 7.25 which is about 1/4 of their payroll.
He'll be their highest paid player at the moment.

Reds traded Hannigan, huh? Surprised they didn't do this earlier.
He's old and his BABIP is probably unsustainable high. He'll still probably kill it platooning for the A's though.
I'm fine if the Mariners get Cano for 200 million. Can't count on Ackley or Franklin to ever live up to Cano's proven ability.
It's not my fucking money and baseball salaries are just becoming wacky as all fuck.
That said ... I'd rather they spend the money on Ellsbury, Choo and Corey Hart than Cano .... could probably get the three of them for under 200 million.
I'm also glad the Mariners didn't try to trade for Fowler ... as I think he'll blow ass outside of Coors (as he does currently) ... not that he cost the Astros much.

YEEEESSSSS DO IT

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
I wouldn't be mad with Cano... We are going to have to overpay for anyone, and dude has been a Silver Slugger for like 4 years straight.. Does anyone think he might be able to play LF later in his career like Soriano?
He "probably" could. He is probably closer to playing 3B/1B than anything else later in his career if he changes positions.
Second base is relatively still a safe position though.

Well he would be 37/38 by the end of his contract...

MARLINS and Jarrod Saltalamacchia have agreed on a 3-year, $21 million deal.
You mean the Marlins right?
Worst case scenario...he'll have a nice DH spot awaiting him.
Mr. Enigma

Yep. Stupid stupid stupid.
Hey I said worst case! Most likely he'll get the Micheal Young treatment and be hauled off to a contender needing a bat for a playoff push in 2017-2018.

My Ranger team and favorite players all gone. Daniels from up north traded guys born in Texas or from around the area and basically now has an all black team. Guess I Will be following several teams where my favorites went and Will probably playing great!
