I'd absolutely do Lincecum on a one-year superMarcum deal.

So a baseball player is a jagoff, which they all are, and we're going to hold it against him over nine seasons of awesome? Eff that. It's just a game, people. He's a fuckload better than Rubetin Turnjada ever will be. Bring him back, lead him off, pay him, and let's win a fucking championship.

The post there offers up Murphy and Montero as bait. Jose's got $86 million guaranteed over four years (including the buyout for the fifth year, or it's an extra $18 million for 2018) -- if Toronto eats half of it, I'd do that. You'd get Jose -- who will "only" be 35 in 2018 -- at $10-12 million a year. And you can move Tejada to second if you really believe in him, or go out and get one somewhere else. Murphy turns 29 on or around Opening Day 2014, so it's not like he's so young himself.

I'll do another full update at the end of the season, but we've got ourselves a race (HA!) for the minor league stolen base crown. Billy Hamilton (Lousville, AAA) -- 75 Travis Jankowski (Lake Elsinore, A+) -- 71 Terrance Gore (Lexington, A) -- 68

I think luck is a big piece of it. (And the fact that the Mets, as a team, are terrible at baseball.) If you look at the bottom of the runs scored leaderboard: http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/sort/runs/order/false/minpa/75 His batting line stands out a little bit among the non-scorers. Only Chris Coghlan has a higher BA, and nobody has a higher WAR.

The Franchise: "Baby, Baby, Stick Your Head in Gravy"

Interesting that Sandy named him. Vic Black gets hit by a bus tomorrow and is out for a year -- what happens?

If "Roy Halladay" is a best case scenario, and "Adam Wainwright" is a worst-case scenario (he tries rehab but winds up needing the surgery anyway), then I'm okay with it.

I heard the question and was fascinated. Would NEVER have guessed the Cruzes if you'd given me 100 guesses. Maybe would have guessed the Alomars. Bondses and Griffeys would have been my first guesses -- figured those were the easy ones.

But it's a question that we'll never know the answer to, so I see the exercise as futile. We got a good deal out of two guys who were going to give us nothing in the long run, and that's without even knowing who the PTBNL is. The only way this is a negative for Sandy is if Herrera gets hit by a bus tomorrow AND if the PBTNL gets hit by a bus the day after he gets N'ed.
-
Signed for nothing with no expectations, then had a really solid year and got dealt for a solid prospect. I'd say that's a win-win for Sandy.

Those two gifs specifically, the fact that he hit 30 home runs in April, and his helmet.

Played smg in a little lunchtime Strat, 09 Mets (me) at 88 Mets (him). Santana vs Cone. Ugly early; Cone let the first three batters of the game on, but I only scored once, on a Francoeur SF. Gregg Jefferies answered with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning, and Kevin Elster drove in a run in the second. Then we scored four in the top of the third on a leadoff walk and six singles. Jefferies homered in the bottom to make it 5-3 at the end of the third. The offenses quieted down for a while. Cone struck out eleven in seven innings and left down 5-3, but then Randy Myers left the barn door open, giving up six in the top of the eighth, punctuated by a two-run HR from David Wright. I pulled Santana after five for a PH, and the bullpen of Figueroa (1.2 IP), Misch (0.1), Redding (1, with a run), and Feliciano (1) finished it out. Final score, 11-4 Oh-Niners.
