I still like the possibilities that the Mets present with their young pitchers and a stud prospect at catcher. Also the Yankees. Betances has good closer written all over him

i would love one of those young pitchers

Vmart won't repeat 2014 and drinky is breaking down.

still a tougher heart of the order than us as we sit if they get cespedes and we dont get a melky like player

With Nate Jones out til July/August, another pen arm is a must.

im so fucking pissed! markakis goes to the braves. another outfielder that was affordable and we didnt sign. im so pissed!

Sources: Markakis leaning toward surgery to repair bulging disc in neck. Recovery time up to 12 weeks. #Braves knew of possibility.

Look, I wanted him too, but after you dig into the numbers...he isn't even that great.

2012-2014:

PLAYER A: 266/329/401 (730) / 100 wRC+ / 6.3 fWAR / -27 DRS
PLAYER B: 279/342/396 (738) / 104 wRC+ / 4.0 fWAR / -14 DRS

Anyone want to guess who those two players are?

I had to look it up, and that is pretty darn close.

he isnt but its an upgrade. he didnt cost a lot either. now its melky or a trade. with markakis you wouldnt have had to trade to get that outfielder.

anyway the guy i want in a trade for LF is....take a guess guys on who i want.

clue: he is left handed,was a late bloomer due to personal reasons.

Grienke is a nut job.

 

[The Hawk]

I do not get the fascination with Cespedes. He is a strike-out machine and a hot head. Hell, I'd rather have Viciedo who still has possibilities of being a good baseball player.

 

[DewsSox79]

Grienke is a nut job.

greinke has an anxiety disorder and i take offense in that.

also this "nut job" puts up great numbers.
