2013 MLB players to keep an eye on (will be updated all spring)

Shortstop · 10-29-13, 12:56 AM

Big Papi has simply been on fire this World Series. A unanimous MVP favorite if the Red Sox take the title...

J Ellsbury CF	4	0	1	1	2	14	.200	.238	.200
D Pedroia 2B	4	1	1	0	0	15	.263	.300	.368
*D Ortiz 1B*	4	0	3	1	0	14	*.733*	*.750*	*1.267*

You are right SS:

Ortiz turned it up for the WS.

After a .091 ALCS against Detroit going 2 hits in 22 ABs

Terrapin Station · 10-29-13, 04:44 PM

Love the way Ortiz has been playing in the World Series. Great to watch.

Wow! Didn't even realize he was so cold in the ALCS. He's done a complete 180.

Yeah, he's hitting the ball really hard. One of the best swings in baseball when he's on...

koz-man · 10-30-13, 09:01 PM

SS. Are you a Steelers fan also?

MikeTizzy · 10-30-13, 11:16 PM

Will Myers and a few studs from KC is prime for years to come

Not so much, koz-man. I'll root for them but I'm not nearly as die-hard as most people here...

Honestly, I don't even follow the NFL as much as I used to.

Shortstop · 11-01-13, 04:05 PM

David Ortiz does in fact win the WS MVP and Derek Jeter signs a 1-year $12 million contract with the Yankees.

Shortstop · 11-02-13, 10:39 AM

Am I the only one that misses baseball already?

I always feel depressed after the World Series is over.

It's like a drug. The WS is the peak and the next day is the come down...

My team is the Steelers, but I also don't follow like I did when I was younger.

And this year is going to be a long year for Pitt.

Wil Myers was voted AL Rookie of the Year. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him...

Long year indeed! I can't remember the Steelers ever giving up 55 points in a game before. Totally embarrassing!

Well deserved! And he helped me from the bench in one of my fb leagues.

That's great to hear!

It's always interesting to see how the Rookies of the Year do in their sophomore seasons.

The scouting reports are much more detailed...

I believe that pitchers, catchers and injured players begin reporting on February 12th...

Shortstop · 11-11-13, 05:22 PM

The MLB season opens in Australia next year on March 22nd with the Dodgers battling the Diamondbacks.

LOL.

All we can do is wait and see what are teams do this off season.

Shin-Soo Choo rejected an offer of $14.1 million for next year.

I think his agent Boras has him thinking Jayson Werth money....7 year $126 million

Damn! Greed is running rampant everywhere! Choo is good, but not THAT good!

I agree, a so-so player

And I read that they might get rid of Phillips to free up some money. I'm not to happy about that one bit...

I totally understand why you're not happy about the Phillips talk.

Hopefully the Pirates get him!

I anticipate a lot of moves this off season throughout the entire league.

Marlon Byrd signed with the Phillies yesterday. He sure wasn't here long...

koz-man · 11-13-13, 04:00 PM

Choo & Phillips for McCutchen, Walker & Cole.

What to much???

I think you'd be getting the better of this trade...

Shortstop · 11-15-13, 12:36 PM

Clint Hurdle wins Manager of the Year and Andrew McCutchen wins the NL MVP in an absolute landslide.

It's nice to see the Pirates winning some postseason awards for a change!

Shortstop · 11-17-13, 01:39 PM

Carlos Beltran (Cardinals) won the Roberto Clemente Award for 2013.

I just had to mention this...

Shortstop · 11-18-13, 12:50 PM

Kris Bryant (Cubs) won the MVP of the Arizona Fall League.

From what I've heard and seen, he's been tearing it up since being drafted out of the University of San Diego.

However, he'll probably start in Double-A ball next season...

Shortstop · 11-24-13, 03:28 AM

Brian McCann signs a 5-year deal with the Yankees.

Great move for New York considering all the issues they've had with the catching position recently..

Robber · 11-24-13, 10:27 PM

Big contract for a guy bout to be 30

True. I think it's a good move for the Yankees.

They've been looking for a quality, everyday catcher ever since Posada.

Shortstop · 11-26-13, 12:24 AM

LET'S GO BUCS!!!

Wulfman14 · 11-26-13, 12:32 AM

yep hoping the pirates turn another corner next year

This is the first time I heard of him, But have a feeling I will be hearing a lot more about him in the up coming years.
