Brewers avoid going to Arby's with Shaun Marcum.
Good news. Now it's time to work on an extension.

Apparently Manny Ramirez wants another shot at the big leagues and has narrowed it down to the A's, O's and Jays. (yeah ok, whatever)

So glad the O's are continuing to go after 35+ year old guys that were in their prime in 2004.Comment

Cespedes is traveling to Miami today to meet with his agent, will tour Marlins new park tomorrow and other teams will eventually make their way down to Miami.
From the sounds of it the Marlins have become the frontrunners againLast edited by Chrisksaint; 02-07-2012, 10:00 PM.Saints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, LightningComment

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
Rumor I saw on Rotoworld had AJ Burnett going to the Pirates for Garrett Jones but the Pirates turned the Yankees down. I'm trying to figure out why. Don't the Bucs have plenty of guys in their system/on the team that could play at 1B, including Alavrez? Why not take a chance on Burnett?MLB: Cincinnati Reds

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
I don't see why the Pirates would have interest in Burnett. He's lost velocity on his fastball and has been wildly inconsistent throughout his career. This stint in New York was predicated by a majority of people before and during the signing. Everyone knew he was outperforming his ability that last year in Toronto. Yankees still bit and now they are facing the reality of making a dumb move.
I've been reading Yankee fan responses to this potential deal and I realize more and more how fans are so out of tune with the world around them. They see things through the lens of their team.
Every comment is on how the Pirates should make the move because the Yankees don't need Burnett blocking Hughes or Nova. Since when should the Pirates care how this affects the Yankees?"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Because the Yankees would be paying, from what I'm reading anyway, all but $8 million over two years. From a Pirates perspective, it's a cheap SP who, despite his flaws, still has some upside. I think AJ would benefit great from getting out of NY and the American league.

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
I don't think that he'll be Cy Young quality, but also you have to realize that if he goes to the Pirates, he won't have Pujols or Fielder in his division anymore. They're leaving to the AL, so that division automatically becomes a little easier.Boston Red Sox
