Julio Franco.

The Cubs have got quite a 1-4 right now. Lester, Hendricks, Darvish, Quintana.
-
For what it's worth, I used to work with a guy who grew up with Todd Frazier and hated the guy. His name is also Todd, and I guess they were something of athletic rivals. (My former colleague, apparently, lost.)

Centerfield wrote: And I get that the years committed is a huge factor and it's not apples to apples. But if you're going to go for it, then fuck, bring in some star players and go for it. I see your point, but I think that's just the way this team operates, for better or worse. I don't think any of these deals -- Swarzak, Bruce, Frazier, Gonzalez, et al -- are "bad." They're good, solid moves that have some upside and little downside: Players Good + Team Good = Yay! Players Good + Team Bad = Tradeable! Players Bad + Team Good = Yay! Players Bad + Team Bad = Less tradeable, but no commitment and we can retool! Wade Davis at $17M is bananas for 58 innings, which is what he pitched last year.

Flores becomes an interesting trade chip, actually. I could see him somewhere hitting 30 home runs in 2019 and us being like OMG WHAT DID WE DO.

That seems like a *very* reasonable deal.

-
Never heard of him.
-
Lance Lynn was very good last year, is 31 this year, and only made $7.5M in 2017. Alex Cobb was very good last year, is 30 this year, and only made $4.2M in 2017. A solid raise for either of those guys for a year or two would be excellent.
-
But has anyone from a team actually confirmed that? Have the Red Sox actually said "Hey, we offered the guy 5/125?" I don't think so. It's all "sources," which can potentially be a load of crap. I'm not saying there *is* collusion, but it's really weird that there are *this* many big names still floating around in February.

[my private fantasy world] Okay, Sandy. It's time to get Darvish, Moustakas, Arrieta, Hosmer, Lucroy, Martinez, and Lance Lynn in a room. $10M each for 2018, let's win a fucking championship, and then you can all be free agents again and make even BIGGER money. [/my private fantasy world]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY

Bully for Beltran (split from Appreciation for Santana)
seawolf17 replied to Centerfield's topic in New York Mets Talk
In Val's defense, he had a *GREAT* nickname ready for Mulvey when he got promoted. -
I'm positive it's merch-related. Not that they don't have time to have a fire sale and restock, but whatever. I think it's going away, just slowly.

Centerfield wrote: I had no idea then that the people didn’t like him. I lived upstate during that time and if people there felt that way, I don’t remember noticing it. Plus I didn’t have the CPF back then. Kevin McReynolds was (is?) my favorite Met of all time. Hell, I even owned a "22" Zubaz hat that I bought at Shea. I don't ever remember anything negative except the "rather be duck hunting" quote, which IIRC got taken out of context. Centerfield wrote: I would guess that it didn’t help that the guy we traded to get him was: 1. A world champion 2. Fiery and well liked 3. An eventual MVP who hit 50 HRs I think a lot of that is revisionist history - I don't remember Mitch being all that particularly loved. I do wonder, though, what the internet would have done in 1989 when Mitch went bananas at the plate and McReynolds was just, well, McReynolds.

As others have said, I'd be happy to bring him on a minor league deal with no promises. But if we're counting on Bartolo to provide major innings for this team, we're even more broken than we think.

Maybe it's because I spend too much time staring at this list and adjusting. Oy, this team sucked.

Second post of last year's Ranking thread (1/4/17): seawolf17 wrote: We definitely already did this. I remember doing it. (Didn't we?) I suggest that the mods put Seawolf into the concussion protocol; there seems to be a trend here. Old age is hard, apparently.

Weird. I thought we already did this. But maybe not.

And down in Washington a few times. Both beautiful stadiums. Citi is too, no doubt from what I see. I won't give the Wilpons a cent of my $ aside from the caps and the occasional jacket, which might go to MLB and MLBPA anyway for all I know. When the Wilpons are gone, I will celebrate by getting a room in NYC and going to ten freakin games straight! It's just too expensive for me to bear with the way they run our beloved team. My brother took his family of 4 to a game at Citi and it cost him $400 all told, with food and beers and sodas and parking and gas and tolls ( he lives down here in SJ too) and alladat. Hey, I put my money where my mouth is. Look what spellcheck gives you for Wilpons. haha. Nice. Well done.
