If Charlotte Creates a Team

[SlinkyRedfoot]

CC Sabathia and Bartolo Colon.

I don't think Sabathia is an ace anymore.

Bumgardner and Kershaw

I like those picks. Coincidentally, I happen to have both in my keeper league, along with Price, Hamels and Archer.

The rest of my league can choke on my pitching dick.

The idea of an expansion draft makes me sick, and as much as I am intrigued by the notion of eight 4-team divisions with no wild cards, I do really like the six 5-team divisions with two wild cards per league format.

As long as they don't have to set foot anywhere near the dilapidated stadium that the Sounds play in.

That was Greer Stadium and no, the Sounds now have a state-of-the-art stadium downtown. First Tennessee Park, which probably means they knew we're not getting an MLB team anytime soon. I'd support the hell outta them.

Me too. I support contraction and the doing-away-with of the DH. Hell, let half the AL go and let's get back to baseball the way it was meant to be played!

Had no idea that they finally built a new stadium. Looks nice. Greer was awful in a horrible part of town and glad that they finally got away from there.

You should see this new place, man. Like a small MLB park, great concessions, girls everywhere. They made it cool to go to a minor league game in Nashville again.

Where in town did they put it?

On 3rd Ave just north of downtown. Great location!

Looking at the map, I have a general idea of where it's at when I saw Rosa Parks Blvd close by. Looks like it's easy access to both 40 and 24 when trying to get out of the games at night.

At the same time however, you could find a number of guys a similar age who pitch comparably/better and don't have the injury risk that Darvish does.

In my opinion, choosing Darvish in this scenario when you have absolutely no idea how he'll rebound from TJ is ridiculous.

This.

Further, you could find younger guys who pitch comparably/better that are under team control for more than a year plus.
