Rest Of Baseball - 2013

[PhillyPhreak54]

I cannot believe that someone paid Ellsbury that much. Even the Yankees.

He'll be lucky to play 120 games.

Oakland's bullpen is forreal.

Nice get by Houston with Fowler.

the ellsbury signing is an all time dumb move....but the yankees simply do not care nor should they

Deadspin claims they have bought a baseball HOF vote and will let the readers decide who their vote gets cast for.

First voting is open now

Rumorville: Matt Kemp being shopped around. Uh-oh. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

He will be a Phillie.

Amaro can't help himself

Seattle is about to drop $200-$230M on Cano reportedly.

Awful

yeah a bunch of old blue haired baseball writers were all up in arms last week about the "slimeball" move. pretentious dicks.

there are some crazy names on that ballot...how the farg is don mattingly not in the HOF?

[Rome]

how is pete rose not in the hall of fame?

also - farg the baseball writers.  half of them don't even bother to fill out the ballots unless there's a george brett or nolan ryan eligible.  and even then some of them don't vote for dead bang hof's because they called them a farging leech at a bar in 1982.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I like them making a mockery of the process to show up the baseball writers. They are indeed pretentious pricks. Especially the ones who don't vote first balloters in just because.

Aoki dealth to KC

Mujica to BOS for 2yrs $9.5M

[MDS]

if los doyers are just trying to unload kemp just because, its something the phillies have to do if they plan on winning a world series anytime soon

of course THEY SHOULDN'T, because they cant. but they will, because of him.

[QB Eagles]

There are a half dozen other guys I would like to see in the Hall, but Bonds, Clemens, and Maddux were on a different plane of existence from everyone else on the list. And we know only one of them is going in this year.

I'm fine with them being ultra-selective based on talent, but they are keeping out all-time greats because of their personal disapproval. And that's bullshtein.

I would agree. I would even say no on Bagwell and Edgar Martinez. Great players, but not on a different plane like Todd said.

I'm meh on McGwire.
