And Konerko remains a white socker

Carl Crawford signs with the Red Sox, 7yrs 142mill

Dunn is a waste. His many negatives far outweight his one positive, homers.

Yep. People dont get it, same with Reynolds and C Pena

Those guys won't struggle to find work. Pena hit damn near .200 and got 10 million for one year of htting 35 homers or so.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

True. I'm no baseball expert, but I've always thought that Pena would be the next Adam Dunn. Hitting homeruns is valuable, but when you go up and just swing for the parking lot everytime you're going to get your bombs. In the process will be a million K's, bad fielding, and the slowest running speed imaginable.

Heck, Ryan Howard isn't a whole lot away from that category.

 

[milohimself]

Yeah, that's a bad move. There are a million different ways to score runs. Fielding comes first.

 

[Heebs]

Of course Crawford is a special player, but 142 mill is the most for any outfielder EVER.

I will say that the Sox will be getting more productive years out of CC than the Yanks will from Lee.

I despise the amount of money people are getting because of these bidding wars. It's truly insanity.

 

[milohimself]

It's part of baseball. Golden rule and what not.

Teams bid against themselves usually.

[blupotato]

that sucks for just about everyone. i really dislike the phillies more than just about any club.

Willingham became quite expendable, I guess.

I feel we could've gotten a bit more.

Oakland Athletics trade for Washington Nationals outfielder Josh Willingham - ESPN

He signs with the Yankees, I hope.

The deal, which has been agreed to pending physicals, sends right-handed pitcher Chris Archer, outfielder Brandon Guyer, catcher Robinson Chirinos, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and outfielder Sam Fuld to Tampa for Garza, minor league outfielder Fernando Perez and another minor leaguer.

Chicago Cubs are close to a trade for Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Matt Garza - ESPN Chicago

 

[wounded mullet]

He signs with the Yankees, I hope.

Thought he already played catcher for the Yankees.

 

[wounded mullet]

Well, im not getting upset about this. Trusted this front office so far. Hoping this is a way to free up some money for a DH.

 

[NYYVol]

Thought he already played catcher for the Yankees.

True.

You would think Jesus saves.

Bummed to see Guyer and Archer go. Two of the nicest guys I met when working with the Smokies. Hope they get a shot in Tampa.

Rays got some good prospects and freed up a spot for Helly, good deal for them. Not to mention, some scouts think Lee will be better than Castro.

Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

Jays trade Vernon Wells (and his massive contract) to Angels for Mike Napoli. Very interested to see more details of this trade. Either the Jays are paying for most of Wells' contract or they gave up a top prospect as well.
