MLB Offseason '13-'14 |OT| Where the best fans live
- Thread starter Corran Horn
- Start date
Hey pal, I'll have you know these upcoming mid-march games in Australia are growing the game! I was told this by sources.
Just watched it recently. Really great stuff. My only criticism of it is how much focuses it on just the Yankees, Red Sox, and Brooklyn Dodgers. It's worse in the extra inning.
Could you blame him?
Dice-K will pitch great this year, maybe for the Mets! Bet on it!
he also put a spending limit on the IFA. limiting the money kids in south america can get.

I hope A-Rod buys a ticket to every single game Selig goes to this year and tries to start shit with him.

Its a fantastic series for the most part. Though I think Ken Burns forgot that baseball exists out of NY and Boston on a lot of it.
I'd like to see a production company do a history of each team.

I think having it on MLB Network is no good. ESPN would allow for more exposure. I really do hope the tournament is kept around.

Selig is as much of a delusional narcissist as A-Rod.

The Mariners have signed John Buck to a 1-year, $1 million deal.
The Indians have signed Nyjer Morgan to a minor league/spring training deal. He can make over $1 million in 2014 if he makes the team and meets incentives.
Dallas Braden has announced his retirement at age 30. Braden said he planned to workout for teams until he felt pain in his shoulder again. His latest MRI showed his shoulder is unfixable. "It's just a shredded mess in there."

Has anyone made a joke about the new Cubs mascot already having the pants beat off of him?

-- The Dodgers want Clayton Kershaw to be signed to a long-term extension by Friday.
-- Charlie Manuel has accepted a position in the Phillies front office, effectively ending his managerial career. He will now serve as Senior Advisor to the Ruben Amaro Jr.
-- The Cubs have signed 2009 NL Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan to a minor league/spring training deal. Coghlan will make $0.8 million if he makes the team and can make another $0.25 million in incentives. He can opt out of the deal if he's not on the MLB team by June 15.

You mad? He's the best pitcher in baseball. He's virtually invincible in Dodger Stadium.
But not even a position player who plays almost every day made $30mil a year. Not A Rod, not Cano, and not even Pujols.

Eh, at this point, it doesn't matter to the Doyers. They can outspend their mistakes.
But $30 AAV is absolutely nuts for a pitcher, even the caliber of Kershaw.

Dodgers can hope that he's healthy these next 5 years and that he opts out. I'll take Kershaw for 5 years at 30 mil. And Jordan at one time use to get paid 30 mil a season. LeBron James would easily make 30 mil if there was no cap.

yep if he wants to go to texas at 30 or whatever ill take it

That's a great deal for the Dodgers, who get to lock up the best pitcher in the game in his prime, and great for Kershaw who could get better (!) and choose to opt-out (!!) if he so desires.
Now, if they somehow can also get Tanaka too...
I need them to be broke though; Yankees need Tanaka in the worst way.

They still need to extend Hanley.
Kershaw has a 27.1 fWAR since 2009 (5 seasons). If you go with 1 WAR being worth 5-6M that is 135.5-162.6M over that span which is 27.1-32.52M AAV. Kershaw will be in his prime over the next 5 seasons before he is able to opt out, you would expect him to actually improve on his numbers from the last 5 seasons. The AAV is not that outrageous if he is a 6 WAR pitcher over the next 5 seasons which I expect him to be. Then you have the next 2 years if he does not opt out which still only puts him in his early 30's.

I think you follow the NBA enough to know that a Jordan/Lebron type superstar in basketball affects his team's fortunes far more than a starting pitcher does in baseball. The guy is going to make roughly $1M per start.
Imagine if the Dodgers pull a Yankees/ARod when Kershaw opts out after 5 years.
