Santana signs with the Braves.

i knew Santana would not want to sign with an AL East team in a hitters ball park for 1 year when he is attempting to turn 1 year of good performance into a long term deal.

its really tough to compare eras.
even the 70s compared to the 90s... even going from 1980 to 1995.
you can't compare a 70s slugger to steroid aided player.
George Foster hit 52 homers in 76.. look at his body... how many does he hit on 'roids? 100?

of his generation Bonds is the best.
he is a smart and patient hitter and in general a very smart and savvy baseball player.
remember who grew up within MLB with his dad bobby.

bonds is an asshole... he is also a great baseball player.

did anybody see chapman take the line drive off the face? sounds like he never lost consciousness, but still not good.

Should I make the 2014 regular season thread? if nobody else wants to I can put it together

i think he is referring to the Dodgers v. Diamondbacks series in Australia.
they are regular season games starting March 22.

its March 22 in NA. it could very well be a different day in Australia

i still can't believe Alex Anthopoulos traded away Justin Nicolino and Noah Syndergaard.

Both will be in the majors shortly and if Toronto keeps losing this will cost Anthopoulos his job.

Alex Anthopoulos has trading-away pitching down to a fine art.

Got up to see the game in Australia (started watching a little late) but was annoying to find the MLBN channel blocked. I had to go online to stream the game ><.

I will do fantasy also.

edit: I also think you should go for it and do the thread Aveng3r.

I'm still down for more fantasy leagues.

Just missed my fantasy NBA playoffs by 1 game and I figure I have more time to play more fantasy baseball anyway.

After learning of the Blue Jays starting rotation and final roster decisions; i'll be shocked if Alex Anthopolous is still the General Manager in 12 months.

Seriously, nothing worse than the dread of having to admit that Jimmy Raynor was right all along.

Interest in baseball was never that high on TL for Fantasy.

Well, Cabrera with the $292 million extension, definitely trying to overpay him to get his good production now. No one can imagine his production being good for ages 37-40.

Opening day in 3 days! Guess it's time for a new thread.

What a horrible deal. Trout's going to be paid $400 million if they offer him like 13 years.

how many people do we need for a reasonable sized league? Like 8?

Again according to WAR, I believe Cabrera's contract is either spot on or slightly underpaying. Kinda surprised Sizemore got the starting CF job in Boston, he would be a huge bargain if he can play near at his previous level even minus the base stealing.

Sure it's fine now, but he has 10.5 full seasons of mileage on his body, and he's not the most physically fit. It's the legnth of the deal that makes it so atrocious. He's going to be a DH eventually, and who knows what production he's going to put out at age 36.
