grozeng Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The Yanks are looking at Derrick Lee, Scott Rolen and Chipper Jones. It is a sad day that they are starting to resemble one of my fantasy teams. Next we will hear they want Soriano back while Granderson is hurt.

grozeng Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yea. I'm already prepared to be disappointed this year.I think they will surprise. I think Toronto is way over-hyped and everyone else in the East just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think they will surprise. I think Toronto is way over-hyped and everyone else in the East just sucks.Maybe. Hard to be excited about this team though. Not enough young talent. What's the average age? Somewhere around 35? The future looks somewhat bleak.

grozeng Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ESPn still had them projected as number 5 or 6 for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't trust the age. We're going to see less production and more injuries and without a good pipeline of talent (which I'm not sure we have or not), not sure how they replace it other than asking a 37 year old to come out of retirement.

grozeng Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think they have some good guys in the minors but they are in AA. Their good pitcing prospects are either injured or did not pan out. I also think they have a catcher but he can't be that good because they are going with cervilli and some other scrub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think they have some good guys in the minors but they are in AA. Their good pitcing prospects are either injured or did not pan out. I also think they have a catcher but he can't be that good because they are going with cervilli and some other scrub.Their prospects are all 2-3 years away, and they'll have the customary billions to spend in 2-3 years as well. They're fine in the medium term- it's just that this year, without their entire offense for April, they may end up at the bottom of a hole they can't climb out of. I hope. We'll see.Edit- somehow misspelled "term". Good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'd forgotten just how screwed up Bonilla's deal with the Mets was. Until now.http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/21884536/the-bobblehead-project-bobby-bonilla-cashing-mets-checks-in-2035He is getting $1.2mm for the next 22 years and hasn't played for them since '99. According to the article, he is paid more than any of their current outfielders. His last check will come when heis 72.Holy crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Where's Bones? Buster Posey inks a 9 year $167 million contract with the Giants. 9 years? All I can say is they better move him out from behind the plate soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Myshkin, are you going to put me up and put up with me should I get out to see los doyers at Chavez this year. It is time to learn if our mutual love of the Dodgers, bowie and being bearded can be the tie that binds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Kilimaro Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Mack - Today on PTI they did some kind of Game of Thrones special, and at the very beginning I though they'd read your blog.Grantland has some gigantic NBA playoffs/Game of Thrones thing which makes mine look like weak shit, largely because they have impressive photoshops and I can't do any of that stuff.I'm sure lots of people have had the idea but I daresay I'm probably the biggest ASOIAF nerd to approach the comparisons.
