After opening day, my interest does go down until May. Unless we win about 10 in a row.

Good guys? They're all a bunch of D-bags.

Hoping for compromise and real progress. The sceptic in me thinks owners want capitulation.

April 10th. Expanded playoffs or not, players will come back after losing negotiations. Careers are a short and perishable item. Ownership is forever.

negotiations will get serious March 28th

This sounds like the grass is always greener view. Stick with who we have. even at 2B.

Good luck post baseball Alec. He excited a lot of fans before flaming out. Baseball is hard.

If Bonds and Clemens were big enough men to admit what they did. Then say it was wrong and apologize like they meant it, they would get in. Arod too. Those guys were truly great players before the juice. I imagine it was tough for Bonds watching Sosa and Maguire cheat their way to greatness. Ortiz, Palmiero and those 2 others could apologize forever and would never deserve to get in.

KR now has a badge of honor.

Merry Christmas to all.

saw some of the comments, but not wanting to play for grampa tony is a plus in my book. TLR is a loser at this stage of his career. any one who thinks otherwise is probably drunk (get it?).

what will Stroman cost? he would really help.

If we traded for Wendle, he'd eventually figure out how we run things around here and retire.

Just saying it looks to me that they are going in house, and Leury is the insurance policy. Wouldn't mind it if means Marcus Stroman is added to the starting rotation.

Why spend 5 million a year on a back up? in case Romy and Gavin and Jake fail. You wouldn't spend that kind of money for a back up if you sign Semian or Taylor or Conforto. At least the Sox wouldn't.

might mean they're going with the kids at 2B and RF.

said early on I wanted to stand pat in the field and add starting pitching. looks like i'll be half right.

He might turn out being a good sign. Rockies pitchers can be hard to judge.

just heard the news. glad for marcus. glad we wont be paying 25 mil for him the second half of that contract.

What's the beef with Schilling? I know he's a knuckle head, but aren't most athletes? I never heard any thing about PED's.

Hoping there are $1million buyouts on years 2-3. Nothing personal, but 1 year doesn't make this guy a sure thing.

Nailed it. Love the guy, but the cost is too high. Whoever ponies up will get a really good player and team mate. They'll probably regret the last couple of years on his contract as well.

I can understand why. If Romy fails, you plug in Taylor. If Yoan gets hurt, you plug in Taylor. If any one else needs a day or two off, you plug in Taylor. Conforto is a one position guy, basically.

Kind of hope we stand pat on the offensive side except at catcher. I have a feeling that our holes can be handled internally in the field and on offense. We need a starting pitcher and another reliever. Romy Gonzalez could be a real sleeper. That Taylor guy on the Dodgers would be a huge upgrade from Leury. Yan Gomes would be a huge upgrade at back up catcher. We have an excellent core, and just need supporting pieces.

You're a funny guy! Do I amuse you?
