I'm ok with taking a pass. I feel like a real successful LOOGY is one that has a slider that breaks away from the lefty. Blevins with his high 80s fastball and ok curve doesn't have much margin for error.

The eternally detestable Miami Marlins have sign the eternally embraceable Curtis Granderson to a minor league contract.

@tykelly11: Well, I signed with a baseball team. Finally, the Machado and Harper dominoes can start to fall.



Angels, I believe

[Edgy MD]

Guy is a hero.

Rene Rivera is going to San Francisco. Flowers in his hair optional.

[G-Fafif]

The Twins invite Lucas Duda to Spring Training because what's a party without Lucas Duda?

[G-Fafif]

Jack Reinheimer has cleared waivers, allowing the Orioles to assign him to Norfolk, where will stand next to the spirit of David Wright.

[Vic Sage]

Matt Harvey will be out for at least ten days after straining his glute.

well at least now he's someone ELSE's pain in the ass.

[G-Fafif]

Tyler Clippard's ongoing journey has led him to Cleveland.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

You suck, Clippard!

[Frayed Knot]

Isn't one of the new faster game initiatives 'No Clippards'?

[smg58]

Bobby Wahl suffered a torn ACL while pitching — yes that's ACL, not UCL — and is probably missing the whole season.

[Edgy MD]

See what happens with Adam Hill and Felix Valerio and the Mets may end up winning this Keon Broxton trade yet.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis joins your Long Island Ducks.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Go Nuiewy!

Pedro Beato is the new Sal Maglie, pitching and barbering.

[G-Fafif]

Matt den Dekker is now Matt den Ducker, appearing quackly in Central Islip with all your favorite middling 2010s Mets.

[G-Fafif]

Lucas Duda has returned...to the Royals, making their roster on the heels of a minor league contract.



"Damn, how does that work?" asked a presently at liberty Devin Mesoraco.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Angels handed Matt Harvey a 6-0 lead after 1 inning and he gave it all back. 4.1 innings, 6 ER and a no decision. Has a 10+ ERA

[Guest 41Forever]

Jay Bruce has been a key piece of the Mariners' hot start, with 7 homers. But he's hitting just .207.

[Edgy MD]

Gabriel Ynoa gets a callup to the Orioles after missing all of 2018 with a stress fracture in his shin.



His absence was a big part of why the 2018 O's were so terrible.

[Frayed Knot]

Jonathon Niese, previously 'selected' by the L.I. Ducks in what I suppose passes for a draft of sorts for that league, instead runs as far away as he can get in the continental U.S. by signing a minor league deal w/Seattle.

[G-Fafif]

Jerry Blevins is now a Brave.
