Cardinals should go after Cliff Lee. His win total would go up if he joined our offensive minded team. Im not sure we have the prospects to get him though. Im not willing to give up Kolten Wong, or Oscar Taveras. Phillies can have Matt Adams, Zack Cox and Shelby Miller.
I am convinced that if the Nationals shut down Stephen Strausburg this year then they would be saying "Fans you want to win a ring now? Well fuck you! Lets wait till next year."
If the Nats were smart they'd stagger his starts around the shitty teams like the Padres and Astros and let someone like Lannan take his spot. Gives him more time to rest and allows him to go deeper into the season.
Yeah especially since DC hasn't seen the playoffs since like 1931 I believe. I'd shut him down once or twice with a DL stint. Some BS like 'blisters' or 'sore left thigh' to give him 15+ days off and a roster spot.
Speaking of the Jays, they've been hit as hard as Boston with the injuries. Arencibia is out for awhile now. Lawrie somehow didn't break his leg the other day with a crazy daredevil dive into the media box. We all know about their pitching injuries plus Baustista already.
What the Marlins have done in the past three days is trade two months of a pitcher they probably weren’t going to re-sign, a year and a half of an average second baseman, and an overpaid underachiever who most teams wouldn’t have even claimed on waivers. As Knobler notes, the Marlins were willing to pick up half of Ramirez’s salary to trade him to Oakland, and Billy Beane was hesitant to even pull the trigger at that price. This wasn’t so much a fire sale as it was an inventory closeout of unwanted goods.
Speaking on a panel discussion about baseball in Israel, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf was asked by a fan about the possibility of international expansion. He said he'd rather see two teams contracted.
"I don't see any baseball expansion right now," he said. "If it were up to me, I would contract two teams. But I certainly don't think expansion on the horizon."
I'm really looking forward to watching Sale v Darvish. Hope the good Darvish shows up.
