MLB Offseason '12 - Shut Up Nick

[ajalves]

O/u on a pulled hamstring, quad, crybaby injury set at 20 games

he actually seemed like a pretty cool hardworking guy on the past season of the Franchise on showtime

[Cnasty]

Doesn't matter if he is the Fonz, his legs make him money and he as always been hindered by small, nagging injuries

Did Toronto change their turf?

MLBPA head Michael Wiener said the union will monitor the Marlins during the 2013 season to make sure that the team is complying with the collective bargaining agreement, reports Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.

Though the Marlins didn't officially acquire Yunel Escobar from Toronto until yesterday, they were shopping the shortstop to other teams last week, reports Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan (Twitter link). Escobar is set to make $5MM in 2013 and the Fish hold $5MM club options on him in both 2014 and 2015, though even this team-friendly deal might be too pricey for the Marlins at this time.

what scum. sucks for Miami

Josh Hamilton to the Angels... holy shit thats a decent core 3 with Trout-Hamilton-Pujols

Rampant speculation saying that LA will use one of their outfielders to go after Dickey.

that Buerjos + for him will get it done.

[tball275]

Angels projected lineup:
1. Trout, CF
2. Callaspo, 3B
3. Pujols, 1B
4. Hamilton, RF
5. Trumbo, LF
6. Kendrick, 2B
7. Morales, DH
8. Iannetta, C
9. Aybar, SS

[nick]

well jays are no longer favs to win the AL lol.. maybe the AL East but my god, thats a terrifying lineup

[tball275]

Also, Dempster agrees with Red Sox (2 yrs/$26.5M).

Red Sox rotation options include: Dempster, Lester, Buchholz, Doubront, Lackey and Morales.

[Cnasty]

Not a bad deal money and years wise for the sox.

Think dempster gets rocked in the al though

[ReignOnU]

Dumpster.

[nick]

that Dempster deal is gonna look horrifying once he experiences the AL East

[Cnasty]

Much like Romero's era

Texas is one thing, but Boston isn't much friendlier.

I think it's a terrible move, who knows

chapman is a starter this year. i guaranteeee an injury

[VeniVediV1ci]

i think it's still a debate. Just leave him a closer and ride him out

...can't wait to see how stupid prices are gonna be on LAA this year

[ReignOnU]

Personally, I don't want him to start. Too risky. But they paid Broxton to close, so they are committing to the move.
