    Harper money is not just for production on the field. He's a name, grabs attention and puts asses in the seats and viewers on the couch.

    I wouldn't give him that much either but he's gonna get it.

    Love the Angels getting Kinsler. I think he's a major bounce back candidate. And it'll be good to see Simmons/Kinsler tandem. That team is shaping up. Just need the pitching staff to get back to health.

        WIth Maldonado, Kinsler, Simmons and Trout, I don't see a better team defensively up the middle.

        Bank on the Angels using a 6 man rotation or a variation of it with a swing starter this season.

            Bob Nightengale saying machado talks intensifying and believes he could be moved by weeks end. Cardinals, white Sox and Giants all have made offers so far. Cards have strong offer on table but not as strong as white sox offer.

            Rosenthal says Giants have an offer that includes Arroyo

              Machado is incredibly unlikable so I hope the Giants don't get him.

              That said, the prospect of 19 Arenado/Machado games a year is tantalizing.

                I would like to have Machado on the Cardinals roster, but not at the expense of prospects it would take to get him here, unless there is some type of contract extension in place.

                I hope the Cardinals don't get caught up in the bright lights that is the Winter Meetings and start making deals for the sake of making deals and sacrificing their future to win today.

                If you're committed to having a new face at 3B, then why not call up Todd Frazier and see if you can't work out a 2 year deal while you work on developing the next everyday 3B.

                  Padres listed as "clear cut favorites" to sign Eric Hosmer.

                    Are the Angels still considered a place where Arrieta can land? I feel like he would do wonders for that rotation.

                      I figured this was a gimme too.
                      But all insiders are saying that Manny wants to be a SS.
                      But maybe he'll forgo his positional demands for a chance to play with that incredible lineup.

                          Phillies select RHP Nick Burdi from the Twins and lose OF Carlos Tocci to the White Sox. White Sox then traded him to the Rangers.

                            And Phillies traded Burdi to the Pirates for $500K International Bonus Pool money.

                                Good fit but not for what I read his asking price is. That would take them past what they’re saying they want to spend on payroll.
