    Cabrera's natural position is 3B, but i digress. Otherwise i agree with most of this, especially the part about opening regular spots for Castellanos and Profar.

    I was 315 pounds. Everyone in my family is huge except my dad, and i haven't been bigger than 267 ( my current weight) in years.

    You mean praise Bodacious Ben, as the new "Benlam" religion will call its principal deity.

    Some consider eating fish but not meat still being "vegetarian". I'm assuming Fielder ate a couple whales.

    The pink-hat army. It will come from the pink-hat army.

    He was for a while.

    I want to take this post ^ out to a steak dinner.
  8. User Name
    Yeah but Fielder is 300+ pounds, coming off a career-worst season, and a prime candidate for BMS syndrome.

    It is for Fred. SIGN NAPOLI OR THE WORLD SHALL EXPLODE INTO A HELL OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE AND WE SHALL ALL SUFFER ETERNAL DAMNATION!!!111!!!!

    Do you even follow baseball? When has it ever worked like that? Napoli is clearly part of the process of, you know, where he'll play baseball to make a living. The Red Sox can't just shake a wand and magically get Napoli on the roster. It takes two to tango. Please stop.

    Look Fred, logic. Try following it. Also, i'm "holding the party line" because following the party line just won the Sox a WS. I'll trust the guy who built the team that won the WS and not the guy who can't exhibit patience on a message board thank you very much.

    But they were lower than his 2011, and his 2013 numbers were even worse. He's trending in the wrong direction. Can't even argue that. He could pick it up in Texas, but it is a huge gamble the Rangers are taking. Also, "well above average" doesn't cut it for a 1B who can't defend his position making 20 million plus a year. He's got to be elite to justify that kind of dough.

    I think Castellanos at 3rd and Iggy at SS makes a lot more sense. Iggy has very little value at 3B.

    So who plays 3B (or 1B) for the Tigers now? Martinez?
  15. User Name
    Palodios, you can play 162 games a year, but if your OPS fluctuates between .900-1.000 and mid-800's every year, are you really consistent? Not saying this is the case with Fielder, just illustrating that playing a lot of games and putting up consistent numbers are not the same thing. Fielder is extremely talented, but as a 1B who's bad defensively and has had three straight years of declining OPS, this is an enormous gamble for Texas. His three-year decline is eerily similar to Teixeira, and no one would touch him with a ten-foot pole right now, would they?
  16. User Name
    Yeah, but now the Tigers are in play for him.
  17. User Name
    Because he costs a s***-ton of money, and he isn't that consistent.
  18. User Name
    Don't you think it would be a good idea to trust the guy who created this team spirit and chemistry in the first place?
  19. User Name
    The Tigers would probably have to kick in a s***-ton of money, and it still wouldn't make sense.
  20. User Name
    Fred, this is my usual problem with a lot of your posts. You sound like someone just cut you off in traffic, and you're making a bunch of logical leaps to arrive at points that don't make an ounce of goddamn sense. None of the big FA's have signed, because they are waiting for the market to develop. Unless the Red Sox offer him something stupid, he's not signing because he (and almost everyone else) is clearly in a holding pattern. You're a grown ass man, exhibit some patience and restraint.
  21. User Name
    Yeah, i think that should be the preferred order. After Napoli, Hart has the most upside and comes without a QO attached.
  22. User Name
    Over his career, Beltran has hit left-handers slightly better than right-handers. 2013 was a luck (or lack of luck) fueled aberration.
  23. User Name
    What kind of money are we talking about though? Dollar figures haven't even been speculated. Besides, chances are that Beltran/Hart are just contingency plans in case the "one stupid owner" rule applies here and someone offers Napoli something ridiculous.
  24. User Name
    You really really really really really like Young, don't you SK?
  25. User Name
    They wouldn't be able to sign both even if they wanted to. They're probably looking for contingency plans in case Napoli signs elsewhere. In that scenario, it makes all the sense in the world to do due dilligence.
