I was reading about this trade earlier on another site and when they mentioned Boog Powell being a speedy outfielder it just didn't sound right remembering the original Boog Powell. It is hard to wrap my head around that name and speed being mentioned together.

I think they make the QO. I think Nap is the easiest 1b to sign at 1B for the RHB

Here are Adam Morris' grades for the 2015 Rangers' pitching staff. Expectations were of utmost importance in his grading system it seems. Just because he has one guy graded above another guy that doesn't mean he thinks that guy is a better pitcher.

Oh a biblical curve. Nice

The waiting game begins. QO for Rasmus too. Bet Astros hope he does not take that

Apparently the Cubs are the front runner for David Price. Wonder what Price's price is? Guesses anyone?

And I wonder what Zack Grienke's price is? If his and Price's are in the same zip code I know where I'd be investing. How about you?

I don't see how anyone outbids the Dodgers for Greinke.
