tough to do in the market they are in. not like a ny, la, bos or chi where bad contracts get absorbed off of tv revenue.Originally posted by koz-manComment -
Halladay may be a good pick this year.Comment -
Didn't Halladay retire?Originally posted by xraygordComment -
It looks likes A.J. Burnett has signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.
It's a one-year deal worth $16 million...Comment -
My earlier Quote:Originally posted by Shortstop
It appears AJ got everything he wanted with his new contract.1. Heard that he wants to stay in the National League, and 2.near his home in Maryland. 3.Also wants to pitch for a contender.
But is Philly really a contender this year?Comment -
They will be battling to stay at .500 all yearOriginally posted by koz-manComment -
Yes he retired. Must have been a quick post for the point.Originally posted by cash$bro91Comment -
Agreed here. I think the Pirates will come back down a little bit too, but I suppose the extra few million was the winner. Saw Pirates offered $12Mil.Originally posted by WrigleyComment -
He is going to be in the bullpen for the Jays.Originally posted by cash$bro91Comment -
I don't know why they signed him either. Maybe to flip him for some assets before the trading deadline.Originally posted by WrigleyComment -
They may trade him, but he some limited no trade clause so the return would most likely be small. But there is still value in adding wins even to a team in the middle of the pack like the phillies. Just ask Cleveland and Pittsburgh how hard it is to get fans back after being dreadfully bad.Originally posted by BigSpoonComment -
I'm honestly surprised that the Pirates offered that much money.Originally posted by MexicanStallion
Would have loved to see A.J. pitching for the Black and Gold again this summer.
However, pitching is probably Pittsburgh's biggest strength right now.
Several young studs that could carry the franchise the next several years...Comment -

I really hope he has a CY type year, except when he plays the Reds of-course.

Where do you think Cruz and Morales end up?Comment -
I thought that the Mariners had Cruz locked up, But something has gone wrong. What? Not sureOriginally posted by Andy117
Heard a rumor that he turned down 5 year 75 million dollar contract. If true Why?
He is 33 and was just suspended for PEDs. Makes ya wonder WTF???

Julio Teheran signs a 6-year deal with the Braves.
David Price stays with Tampa Bay, for now...Comment -
Well deserved. IMO.....I believe hes getting a guaranteed is $32.4 million contract with a 7th year option worth $12 million.Originally posted by Shortstop
He was a big part in me winning my league last year and will be looking to grab him again this year.
The Braves are on a signing frenzy at the moment and Closer Craig Kimbrel and shortstop Andrelton Simmons are next.Comment -
Cole Hamels, Matt Latos, Ryan Cook, Nate Jones, Hisashi Iwakuma all dealing with injuries right now. Franklin Gutierrez is out for the seasonComment -
Add Mark Mulder to the list. Season over before a shot at the comeback. Ruptured AchillesComment -
Hamels will be back and have a 18-7 2.30 era type seasonOriginally posted by daneblazerComment -
For now? I don't think they will move Price anytime soon.Originally posted by ShortstopComment -
If he turned that down he's nuts.Originally posted by koz-manI thought that the Mariners had Cruz locked up, But something has gone wrong. What? Not sure

Matt will be fine. Might miss his first start. That just gives him more time to get another tattoo or two.Originally posted by daneblazer

With this Latos issue.
I would love to see the Reds throw their hat in the ring for Ubaldo Jimenez.
I know it will probably never happen, But one Reds fan can wish.

Ryan Dempster, 36, is going to sit out the 2014 season. Hes going to lose $13.25 million.
He stated that he does not physically feel like he can do the job, because of a neck issue.
Also he said he will not rule out a return in 2015.Comment -
Yeah, Teheran was a great signing for Atlanta.Originally posted by koz-manWell deserved. IMO.....I believe hes getting a guaranteed is $32.4 million contract with a 7th year option worth $12 million.

He had a very solid season and finished 5th for the NL ROY Award.
14-8 3.20 ERA and 170 K's in 185.2 IP last year.Comment -

So glad I saw this thread...looking forward to getting the season going.. go CrewComment -
I wish the Blue Jays would sign or trade for starting pitcher already. Santana or Jimenez please.Comment -
I'm not an Ubaldo fan. He's not worth the money and draft pick. Latos will be fine. I'm only hoping the Reds have money to sign Latos next year since they are about to open the wallet for Homer.Originally posted by koz-manWith this Latos issue.

Excellent point Mex.Originally posted by MexicanStallion
Agree, Love to get Homer & Latos locked up.
Comment -
2008-10 Jimenez is worth that kind of money, 2011 & 2012 Ubaldo yuck. Just depends on what you get, not the kind of guy I'd want to count on.Originally posted by MexicanStallionComment -
I tend to agree. Jimenez had Hall of Fame written all over him several years ago. Now, I'm not so sure...Originally posted by Andy117
Plus, I'd much rather have Mat Latos on my staff than Ubaldo.Comment
