It's always good to resign a pitcher that has done well, But 7 million a year for 3 years.Originally Posted by Shortstop
I think I'm in the minority on this one...
I'm thrilled that the Pirates signed Charlie Morton to a 3-year deal this week.
I've always been a big Charlie fan and I'm confident he's going to continue on from his strong 2013
performance.
On a positive note you have to take a chance once in a while.
Hope it works out for you & the Bucs.

Yeah, $21M over 3 years. Players are getting crazy wealthy these days!
By the way, did you see that Choo signed w/Texas for $130M over 7 years? Damn!
At first, I actually thought it was a 3-year deal for $7M ($2.333M per year)It's always good to resign a pitcher that has done well, But 7 million a year for 3 years.
Hopefully, Pittsburgh gets a nice return on this investment...
Wow. way to much. The Reds would never match or come near that....Thanks! I'm confident that it will.

The Billy Hamilton era begins!!!
Morton is easily worth the 21 million over 3 years. You don't see above average vet post arbitration starters getting less than 10 million per year that often anymore.
After looking at his numbers. He has outstanding speed, no doubt, But
he has to pick up his OBP.
The Reds are working with him to bunt better. That should help his on base %.
Hamilton hit pretty decent throughout the minors I think he will have surprising pop too
I like Hamilton a lot.
I do not like Charlie Morton and he's not worth that money.
From the few times I've seen him play, I was very impressed.
I find it surprising that he's not a great bunter already at this point in his career?
One would think that would be one of his top strengths based on his amazing speed.
I don't see him having much pop at all. He had 13 HR/2000+AB and probably half of those were inside the park homers. I like the rest of him though.
Agree. But I guess practice makes perfect!!From the few times I've seen him play, I was very impressed.

The last thing I would want him to try... is hitting homers.
Keep the ball on ground and get on base and all should work just fine.
Like the movie "Major League" Every time he hits a fly ball. He has to do 20 push-ups.

There is pop Mex!
When home, I have been glued to The MLB Network the past couple of days.
They've been airing some really great programs!
Very true in this day and age.
Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Charlie Morton in the All-Star Game in the not too distant future...
Getting the baseball itch?When home, I have been glued to The MLB Network the past couple of days.

Spring Training voluntary reporting for P & C is Feb 13th....let the count down begin!!!!
Yeah, you could say that. I actually have it year round!Getting the baseball itch?
Spring Training voluntary reporting for P & C is Feb 13th....let the count down begin!!!!
What's that, a little over six weeks? It's getting closer...
Haven't been following the Tanaka story much.
Anyone have any insight as to which team wants him the most?
From what I hear, it could be a very steep price tag...
Yasiel Puig charged with reckless driving in Florida clocked at 110MPH in a 70MPH zone.
Penn State Head Coach O'Brien goes to the Texans...
Oh wait, that's not baseball related!
It might be time to start the 2014 MLB Players to keep an Eye on. Baseball season will be here before you know it.Penn State Head Coach O'Brien goes to the Texans...
Oh wait, that's not baseball related!
Baseball season creeping up

As a PSU fan I hate to see him go. He did one hell of a job with all the distractions.Penn State Head Coach O'Brien goes to the Texans...
Oh wait, that's not baseball related!
But I wish him well in Houston.
Wondering who will be PSU next leader? Larry Johnson was named interim
Top candidates are Al Golden, Mike Munchak, and Jim Caldwell.

Granted he was only 15-9, but I don't think anyone else would have surpassed his accomplishments.
He does an excellent job with his QB's and will jump start Houston offense. You will see an improvement in Schaub and Keenum. IMO
I believe he was the reason walk-on Matt McGloin, (from my home town) is in the NFL.
Chances Cubs get Tanaka???
Depends on whether he cares about winning.
Ben Badler of Baseball America writes that the Mariners "look like the favorites" to land Masahiro Tanaka.
This is after ESPN's Jerry Crasnick was told earlier Thursday that the M's were a "team to watch" on Tanaka. Badler has his finger on the pulse of all international signings matters, so if he says Seattle is the favorite for the Japanese righty, everyone would be wise to believe him. He also lists the Cubs, Dodgers and Yankees as clubs that will be "strongly in the mix" for Tanaka.
cant wait getting closer and closer. Nash does a great job along with a lot of other guys here giving us great baseball information
Absolutely! Great points.He does an excellent job with his QB's and will jump start Houston offense. You will see an improvement in Schaub and Keenum. IMO

In my opinion, O'Brien's replacement will have much more pressure on his shoulders than he did.
The kids that stuck around and those that honored their signing commitments must be shaking their heads right now...
The Yanks start to make a move with Wells leading the way....
The Yankees might have an ace in the hole while trying to lure Masahiro Tanaka into pinstripes — one of his fellow countrymen, Vernon Wells said.
Veteran starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda could help Tanaka, 25, ease into the majors, Wells said.
"He's a great person to be a mentor to him," Wells said.
Kuroda, 38, has pitched the last six years in the majors. But he spent much of his career in Japana, and relies on his splitter, much like Tanaka, widely considered the prize of the free-agent pitching market.
Kuroda's big-city experience — he also played with the Dodgers — would also be a boon to Tanaka, should he end up in The Bronx.
"He's been in a couple of different big markets, being in L.A. and New York," Wells said. "Knowing the changes, knowing what comes with the travel that we have, the schedule the we have."
But, still, the Rangers might how playing alongside fellow starter and countryman Yu Darvish would be more attractive to Tanaka, who went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last season in Japan, Wells said.
"Texas has a guy that has been through it and done it," Wells said. "So you're going to have quite a few choices and great organizations to choose from."
Wells was speaking with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM with Jim Duquette and Mike Ferrin.
The Yankees are believed to be willing to pay top dollar for Tanaka, who is expected to be pursued aggressively by possibly as many as 10 teams. Tanaka has until Jan. 24 to accept a contract. The team that signs him not only must pay his former team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, a $20-million posting fee, but will also have to give Tanaka a multi-year contract worth as much as $100 million.
