doesn't Grienke have anxiety problems? paying him big money on a team trying to buy a title sounds like a lot of pressure. don't see it ending well for him.

I know they're trying to win a title, but being even being way over the luxury tax won't hurt them because they're big enough where they'll still make profits. Which is why it's surprising the Yankees are cutting down costs when they would make just as much (if not more) profits than the Dodgers.

I was listening to an ESPNLA guy talk about it and he said Greinke seemed fine with the Angels so I wouldn't make too much out of it until otherwise known.

Oh my god. Did the Royals really just trade Wil Meyers? REALLY? IS THIS REAL LIFE?

Once in a generation type of prospect, probably the #1 prospect in all of MLB... just got traded for 2 years of James Shields.

Unfuckingbelievable.

I just read that too and wtfwoah'ed as well. Royals dealt Odorizzi in it as well.

WWF has to be insane right now. Just got the best hitting prospect and a good pitching prospect.

WWF

I wanted Olt. Oh well.

GA, is Myers good & seasoned enough to start this season?

Edit: I don't really now anything about Myers. I know he's great, but that's all.

MrMister

I'm sure GA knows a lot more about him than I do, but he's better than Olt. He seems to be widely regarded as the best current hitting prospect.

And in case GA is dead, yeah Myers will most likely start for the Rays Opening Day. Power infusion incoming.

WWF

Well, that's good news. I dunno, I guess with the signing of James fucking Loney, I was just hoping for Tampa to acquire somebody to play 1B. I know Olt is a 3B, but Tampa would surely change his position.

Ghetto Anthony

Yes.

He won minor league player of the year last year joining the likes of:

2011 Mike Trout
2010 Jeremy Hellickson
2009 Jason Heyward

He will dominate the league for the next 15+ years. Enjoy.

Us Royals fans get to live with Jeff Francouer (aka the worst player in MLB last year) in RF because we just traded the #1 prospect in MLB for 2 years of James Shields.

It's alright, Marcus. You have to watch Francouer, I have to watch Loney. :/
