    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.

    Halladay may be a good pick this year.

    It looks likes A.J. Burnett has signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.

    It's a one-year deal worth $16 million...

    My earlier Quote:

    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.
    It appears AJ got everything he wanted with his new contract.

    But is Philly really a contender this year?

    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.

    I don't know why they signed him either. Maybe to flip him for some assets before the trading deadline.

    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.

    I'm honestly surprised that the Pirates offered that much money.

    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...

    I like this kid. He is for real.

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

    Julio Teheran signs a 6-year deal with the Braves.

    David Price stays with Tampa Bay, for now...

    Well deserved. IMO.....I believe hes getting a guaranteed is $32.4 million contract with a 7th year option worth $12 million.

    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.

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

    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.

    Yeah, Teheran was a great signing for Atlanta.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I tend to agree. Jimenez had Hall of Fame written all over him several years ago. Now, I'm not so sure...

    Plus, I'd much rather have Mat Latos on my staff than Ubaldo.
