No, just....NO

Texas does not need two utility IFs. I mean they did that back in 2010, but it was necessary.

 

[lainey12]

For all of you that are worried about Harrison, there's an article on ESPN Dallas about him. He's down about 10 pounds from his normal playing weight, and says last year left a bad taste in his mouth.

ahhh, that was a joke?


Witty-Grittty-Harry

Who is the other besides Rosales?

[ame="[MEDIA=twitter]401036044113833984[/MEDIA]"]The Boston Herald's Jen Royle tweets[/ame] that Napoli has not received a multiyear offer from Boston, but rather just a one-year offer at a higher salary than the $14.1MM qualifying offer he rejected on Monday.

No thanks.

Jurickson, Lainey.

 

[lainey12]

I've met him in person (2 years ago)... sure doesnt seem to be 250. Josh (hamilton) yes... Harrison...no.

and now Hamilton looks like a skeleton...
ick, don't know what the heck is going on there

Sounds like they don't trust the hip for more than a season at a time.

Jurickson, Lainey.

I'm confused.... One of the three is gone, unless I missed something

They apparently only offered a one year deal to Stephen Drew as well, now media is saying Cards should make a run at him for their SS need...

What? Profar and Rosales are both UIF.

 

[lainey12]

I believe Hamilton was down to like 225 at the end of the season last year. He looked awful. He went on some kind of gluten free diet and lost about 30 lbs. This guy has to be experimenting with his body - good or bad ways - constantly it seems.

He's a moron, unless he's sick.
He was never overweight

Did someone say Profar was going to be a UI, that's what's confusing me

THAT would be shocking, I think they're looking for a bigger upgrade/upside than Drew

 

[jalopy]

Question: What do non-Tigers fans think about the chances of Scherzer getting traded and what would he fetch? Would his contracted need to be extended as part of the trade or would the acquiring team view him as a "rental"? Does Boras being his agent affect his value?

Unless he traded then where else would he play? That would require Kinsler to move positions, so unless things change he is a UIF or in AAA.

Sorry, but there's more to being a great catcher than throwing out base runners. McCann > Soto and it's not really close.

its closer than you think, McCann is better but not substantially better
