Baron

Sure and then flip him mid season

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 11:00 AM) People are actually offended by that? Yeesh. Alot of people have thin skin when it comes to stuff like that....personally I got a little chuckle out of it

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) I'd agree if I had any confidence in Leesman or SantRod. Heck, I've been following Santos religiously ever since the Javy trade. His horrible adjustment to AAA, after finally showing a tiny semblance of control in AA, has me worried that he'll never throw strikes consistently enough. Needs to happen soon for him. That's what I was getting at....not many options. But there are a few in the free agent market.

Eric O'Flaherty? Last year he had a GB percentage in at 60 something Funny thing is he was on the list with guess who? Downs and Lindstrom http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/02/2014...ree-agents.html

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Good signing. Veal just seemed nervous last year. Wouldn't mind giving him another shot. He should have been nervous....he would walk someone on 4 pitches easily.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 01:23 PM) With Veal I am guessing 2012 was the fluke, and not the rest of his sucky career. Yeah I agree with this. Not a fan of Veal....would rather go with someone else(not that there are many options).

That's a very reasonable contract

I like the guy on mlbtraderumors complaining about this because he is old.

Welp there is our LH reliever

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 09:12 AM) This guy thinks Maddux will be the only one to get in. http://baseballpastandpresent.com/2013/12/...ction-forecast/ Personally, Frank is already a Hall of Famer. It's just a matter of time. So I'm hoping this guy is right, just to show how flawed the process is now. If Maddux is the only one to get in, it will force a change. It just has to. Yeah I read that too...pretty ridiculous. Also getting tired of people I talk to trying constantly convince me that Jack Morris should be in the HOF.

I expect alteast 1 more arm to be be signed in the bullpen. Wouldnt mind Crain back on a incentive laden deal.

Fleecing Towers is our new offseason strategy lol

Well that was surprising....apparently trading with the Diamondbacks has been no problem for Rick

David O'Brien ‏@ajcbraves 7m #Braves are the "mystery team" that's been talking with Gavin Floyd. Believed to be close to a deal, but not finalized yet. https://twitter.com/ajcbraves

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2013 -> 08:11 AM) That is the agent talking. Maybe but I wouldnt be surprised if that was actually true

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2013 -> 07:58 AM) Not me. Unless there is a fairly cheap option, paying him to rehab seems like a waste. Uh isnt he saying he should be ready for opening day?

I would take him back on a 1 year deal

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Then they did the exact opposite of this when they signed Edwin Jackson to a big contract when he might have been a useful back of the rotation starter on a playoff team and completely useless to a rebuilding franchise. Yeah and didnt they basically admit that was a mistake the other day? Cubs system isnt devoid of hitters...but pitching is going to be a problem

Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 5m White Sox looking for catching have talked to Tampa about Jose Lobaton . Chicago hoping to fill there and lefty bullpen hole. https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 07:40 AM) 2. I don't know why everyone wants to trade De Aza. $

Andrew Baggarly ‏@CSNBaggs 6m #SFGiants VP Bobby Evans said "ideally we'd like to get something done" tonight in LF. I hear Franklin Gutierrez is a name they like. https://twitter.com/CSNBaggs

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) I have a hunch that we're working on a three team trade with the blue jays involving a swap involving Beckham and Larwrie. Both the Jays and Sox beat writers are reporting teams to be exploring three team trades again... With Anthopoulos being quoted as thinking it gets done. Again... Beckham and Lawrie are just speculation on my part. Yeah I was thinking about that earlier....certainly seems possible

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 3m Hearing #WhiteSox looking at catcher Adrian Nieto for the Rule 5 draft. Would possibly trade up to get him. Phegley, Flowers in jeopardy. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m Has two 3-team trades so why not another? Rick Hahn said #WhiteSox still considering direct and 3-team deals. Lot of ideas floating around. Expand https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN Yes please

Anybody want Boone Logan back?
