Jaxom 1974 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Oh it's an awesome deal for the Cubs if Rizzo puts it all together. Even if Cashner goes on to be a middle of the rotation guy for the Padres, if Rizzo's playing first base for 10 years, it was beyond worth it...And I don't think it's a matter of not wanting Prince, but it goes back to what I said earlier about spending money wisely, not just throwing it at a problem...the number of years along with the cash he wants, it'd be detrimental in the long run when you're trying to become a perennial playoff team. It'd've been nice, but I'm okay with passing on him...as long as he's far from the NL Central for a couple years until his knees start giving him trouble and he slows down...

Caliban2 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think my Padres got robbed blind.Josh Brynes already said hes coming out of the pen. Even though I believe Cashner could become a great power closer this deal does not make sense for SDP.The other player acquired Zach cates, appears to be a prospect as well, icing.

grozeng Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 So Pineda and Kuroda added and Montero gone. I am not sure how I feel about this. Pineda was a beast for half a season, but I have been waiting years for Montero to crack the lineup. I think I will like this a lot though when I get over my disappointment of losing Montero. Maybe they did this to get Prince (although Cashman has said he is not going to add crazy salary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pineda is a beast but I was really really looking forward to seeing what Montero's bat could do. In the end, it's probably a great deal for us as our rotation wasn't very strong but with CC, Pineda, Kuroda then Nova/Hughes/Burnett/Garcia...we should be pretty solid. Still sad about Montero though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am kicking back watching a Maverick game tonight, and they cut away from the action to do a celebrity interview with Texas Ranger's pitcher Derek Holland. In addition to the stache, he has grown out what looks to be an incredible Jew fro that has my Hebrewness in raging fits of jealousy. He also mentioned the words "getting ready for the mullet."I just wanted to say that he is going to give Brian Wilson a run for his money on the coolest guy in baseball next year.

Mexal Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 They need a DH and it's only money :)I know but with so many old people on their roster, you'd think they'd want to give them a rest during the season.I did read that they have some plan to try to drop below luxury tax payroll by 2014 so I can't see them getting Fielder if that's the truth.

smegma Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just heard that the Prince is signing with Detroit, which could be problematic for my Sox. I haven't read any confirmation though, so I guess I'll wait and see. But it's a move that makes sense for him if it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimTuesday Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Altough I'm kind of dissapointed the Mariners didn't get Fielder, I'm just glad he didn't go to Texas. Its bad enough that the Angels have Pujols, but considering he's getting on in age, and its likely he will start breaking down a few seasons down the road, I was less upset than I would have been had the Rangers aquired Fielder.That said, I think Montero will be great, people say that Safeco is where hitters go to die, but thats mostly for righties, We've seen in the small sample size that Montero can hit homers to left very well, desipite the fact he is a right handed batter. Yeah, I was sad to lose Pinada, but we got Noesi, who apparently is a fairly good pitcher, not to mention the massive amount of great pitching depth we have.

Greywolf2375 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Can't believe you folks are focused on Prince when the game lost one of it's all time greats.JD Drew retires after 14 years.Yawns to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just heard that the Prince is signing with Detroit, which could be problematic for my Sox.Prediction: 27 of Fielder's 52 home runs this year are hit at The Cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Prediction: 27 of Fielder's 52 home runs this year are hit at The Cell.No way, I'm taking the under on this.26 - MAX!: /Sucks when all your baseball friends send you condolence messages because your team is out of the hunt for forseeable future.But hey, we've got Robin Ventura, that's enough - right? right?Ahhh but really, this doesn't guarantee Detroit anything of course - baseball is a prickly mistress. However, I do see it making it really effing tough on my team because of the aforementioned crushing of our pitchers/owning of our field. Lame.

Caliban2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Detroit has 3 DHs and tons of fat guys now. This signing is retarded and the best thing for division rivals. No way they can afford Verlander when his deal is up in a year or two right?Moving boozehound back to 3rd? No way this works as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, they have some amazing Detroit Tigers Network in the offing to funnel a billion dollars into the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
