High Mileage Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) Except they just signed Francouer to that contract extension through 2013 last summer. Doubt they'll start pondering the eating of that contract until next June/July. Plus, Cain being out for the next couple of months gives them a chance to look at Dyson. The problem is that they really won't know what they have in Cain if he only ends up playing half a season, and it's done while recovering from a serious injury for an outfielder. Frenchy makes $2.5M this year and there is a $4M mutual option for him next year. Rudiments has been a pleasant surprise but I still think I would rather see Mitch Maier. Dyson is and always has been a non-prospect. He's 27 already, 4 days younger than Melky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at last year's deal, he played 2011 for $2.5 million. Late last season Jeff Francoeur signed a 2 year, $13 million deal. He earns $6 million for the 2012 season and $7.5 million, guaranteed, for the 2013 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 QUOTE (High Mileage @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:29 PM) Capps was an All-Star that year and Mauer was having a career year. Every team is required to have an All-Star, even the last place Washington Nationals. He was still giving up over a hit an inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I still can't believe how fast the Twins fortunes changed, They were in the ALDS (getting swept... again) in 2010. Now they're well on their way to consecutive Top 3 picks in the draft. As far as the Royals go, they won't top the Sox in the standings when all is said and done. Because while the Sox can't seem to beat them, many other MLB teams have and will continue to. Third place is par for the course in Chicago. Not the best, not the worst, always in the middle.

caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Porcello getting roughed up too, but only one of the runs earned. Meanwhile, the Indians are trudging along in first place to the lowest attendance in the majors, just like 2011. Except last year, it seemed almost every one of their victories was a walk-off or dramatic come-from-behind win, many of them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchwarmerjim Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ryan Doumit hurt his calf muscle and is now on the DL. The Twins Front Office (mostly Billy Smiths doing) has made some horrible moves the last few years, but the injury bug cant escape this team.

caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Royals had the much easier chance to move into a tie with the White Sox but Broxton blew the save and gave up 2 runs against the Orioles. Still playing, bottom of the 13th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Speaking of Odorizzi and Wil Myers recently, they were both promoted to AAA today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Mileage Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The Royals have already lost 8, 1-run or extra inning games. Broxton was 8 of 9 and had saved 7 in a row before last night. Pretty excited about Myers and Odorizzi getting promoted, they will be in KC by seasons' end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Fister has given up 3 early runs for the Tiggers. M's leading the Indians 4-0 early, as well. Indians would be "only" 4 games over .500 if they lose that game, which is where we were 3 1/2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I give up. The Indians will win the division going away. They cannot be stopped at home, despite nobody showing up to watch their games. And, once again, the Royals cannot hold a lead against a surprisingly good Orioles team.
