An insanely high salary? -
Connaughton was my first thought, too. Although I'm sure other power forwards can be converted to power arms, much like the Reds did with Amir Garrett. Why would anyone want Russell Westbrook as a pinch runner? I'm 100% certain I can find an actual baseball player who is as fast or (more likely) faster than Westbrook and posseses actual baseball skills as well. If Clay Buchholz - a former wide receiver recruit at Notre Dame and U Texas - taught us anything, it was that speed alone does not make a good baserunner....

And I'm sure all of them are thinking "JD Martinez failed his physical with Boston. Let's go sign him! !!"
-
That's what my wife said. I made no further comments on the subject. ..

We'd all like top see JBJ become more consistent, but what does that really mean? Most of the non - elite hitters in MLB have bad months and have their season carrIed by the one or two good ones. The guy bats eighth or ninth. Even if he struggles all year out doesn't figure to be too detrimental....

A larger fraction have budgets that acn in no way approach that limit...
-
The guy has averaged about 120 games played per season for his entire career. Think they found anything that wasn't minor?
-
He was always overrated, but at least he got to marry Jenny Dell...
-
I don't like the LOOGY strategy, but the way they got rid of Layne was pretty stupid. ...
-
Why? If he still isn't signed at midnight does he revert back into being a Diamondback?
-
I thought you were in Houston? I moved to Monterrey Mexico in 1999 (5 years before the ring), but I moved back within a year...

Especially not since his only other interested suitor has since added two outfielders....

In the Midwest, we have extreme cold, tornadoes, ice storms and serial killers, which happen often enough we consider them a form of weather...
-
If you don't like Boston weather, come to Chicago. It's like trading snow for unbearable cold. "It's minus 20 outside, but at least I don't have to shovel it."

And maybe the 3 worst hitters can be used to load the bases for them too. Also a baseball should no longer be used and the pitcher must underhand a volleyball...

And early on. Ideally 2-3-4...

Imagine how good his rep will be once he's actually managed..

Platoons are small market baseball. When you can't afford one good player, you find two cheaper half-players....
-
There are plenty of times when we as fans think all the facts are known, but there are one or two we don't know (and aren't expected to)...
-
I still wouldn't mind an arm to replace Thornburg. Free agency doesn't leave much outside of Greg Holland, who is looking for some serious bank....
-
If so, I misinterpreted his "in the minors" verbiage. I can see ranking Brannen that way, but no way is he one year away..
-
If Holt makes the team - and he probably will - I'll cheer for him to do well. But he really doesn't impress me much and I agree with Nick's assessment of his defense. ..
-
Dan Uggla wasn't much of a defensive second baseman. Chavis could well end up being trade bait...

They traded the starting DH from the All Star game making just under $6mill last year and received a $5.5mill reliever valued at 1. 7fWAR over the past 6 years (less than the immortal Alex Claudio last year alone) and an infielder who didn't crack the top 28 in the Pittsburgh prospects rankings. And a small amount of cashn You sure they didn't give him away?
-
I'm surprised they held on to Marrero and let Taylor go, given their infield depth, admitted need for relief depth, and that Taylor still had options left
