The 2014 Major League Baseball Player Chatter, News and Fantasy Thread

[gryfyn1]

ESPN Finally Opened Up Fantasy Baseball on 2/6.

Rodney finally signs 2 years/$14Mil with Seattle. Nobody closing in Baltimore?

Tommy Hunter, most likely, While he doesn't have elite stikeout numbers, his uptick in velocity and swinging strike percentage paired with his excellent control should make him a solid choice. There is no reason he can't do as well as Johnson did for the Os the last two years

Chris Perez released by Indians

Rodney finally signs 2 years/$14Mil with Seattle.

The Mariners are really opening up the checkbook this winter!

Pretty good price for arroyo, he still at the top of his game and can be good for a 15 win season

Nice signing for Arizona! I knew he'd land somewhere soon.

However, it now looks like Archie Bradley will stay put in the minors a little longer...

I don't know anything about him other than this numbers and he seems like he can be exciting. I was looking into some minor leagues to draft for my upcoming keeper league.

[Wrigley]

Byron Buxton could be the 2014 AL rookie of the year sounds like he will make the Twins team

[Chi_archie]

I can't imagine Buxton would make the team out of spring training

[koz-man]

Pretty good price for arroyo, he still at the top of his game and can be good for a 15 win season

Plus. He eats up innings.

Over the last 9 seasons he pitched at least 199 innings.

[koz-man]

Do the mariners still have oliver perez?

I believe hes still a free agent. The Nats seem the most interested as of now.

I've read about him and Sano appears to be a another young contributor for the Twins future.

[Wrigley]

If he tears it up down there he would, but I expect him to be here by season end

[Chi_archie]

He has only played high A ball. He'll get a cup of coffee maybe in Sept but twins will not want to start his arbitration clock and really bring him up for good until may/June of 2015.

[Shortstop]

Do the mariners still have oliver perez?

Yes. He appeared in 61 games last year. This surprised me because I don't remember hearing a lot about him.

He was 3-3 with a 3.74 ERA in 53 IP for Seattle.

[Andy117]

I hate Oliver Perez.

Isn't Perez a FA?

[koz-man]

Spencer Conn, a 6 year-old hits 5 home runs on the first pitch of five consecutive at-bats. Over 2 games.

Most six year old kids can barely hit soft toss. That's crazy.

[Mitchell88]

there is the baseballs next star? who knows he might never grow a million things could happen pretty amazing though

[xraygord]

I lve MLB daily fantasy games. Cannot do a full season though. Too much work for me. lol

[Shortstop]

Isn't Perez a FA?

Yes, you're correct.

I just consider FA's members of their previous team until they are signed by another team.

[Wrigley]

Perez being a FA should not matter you get him no matter where he lands

[MexicanStallion]

Where will Ubaldo and Ervin Santana land? Also will Burnett stick around and pitch? I think he stays in Pittsburgh, but it has taken a while to decide on that outcome.

[Robber]

I think aj will stick around in Pitt

Absolutely true. I'd love to borrow some of those skills for my softball team.

Yankees already offered him 40 mil per season

[BigSpoon]

Would like my Blue Jays to sign Santana, they need another starter.

[Chi_archie]

I think aj will stick around in Pitt

I don't think they'll pay him

remember the Yanks footed over half the bill for his 2 years in Pitt

they aren't going to double what they were paying him, for his aging question mark ability now

[koz-man]

Heard that he wants to stay in the National League, and near his home in Maryland. Also wants to pitch for a contender.

This limits the available teams...I would not be surprised if he lands with the Nats or stays in Pitt.

Hopefully the Nats.
