Kyyle23 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Matt Spiegel just said that he has a type of cancer that weakens his bones, he didnt come out and call it bone cancer but said that it pretty much caused this.

Altuve batted third for houston. It's not about trying something different, combined they lost 200+ games last season. It's a lack of talent, not something to be too proud of.

It's a lack of talent, not something to be too proud of. Or mostly the fact that they want to start Davidson's arbitration clock later. It does point out the fact that we're one left-handed hitter behind where Ventura would ideally like to be...DeAza hitting 3rd would probably be more "imposing" but surely Robin thinks that Conor will get better pitches to hit and that Alejandro's more comfortable out of the top 3 positions in the batting order. Most teams don't have guys hitting out of the 7 hole that can homer twice in a game, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays 1h #Rays deal with Archer similar to what they did with Moore after '11 season, 8 years (w/options) for around $40M With options, #Rays deal with Archer would cover 8 years and be worth $45.5 million. Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 2h Chris Archer's $25.5M guarantee depends on arbitration class. If he's a Super 2 -- very likely -- he'd get the full $25.5M. If not, less.
