Dave James Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Hate to break in on this mutual admiration society, but Jonathan Papelbon has signed with the Phillies. Four years, $50 million. Edited November 12, 2011 by Dave James Quote

Larry Kart Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Goodspeak -- In post #76 you changed the words that Brad used in post #75 in the course of "quoting" what he had said there. No matter what your intent in doing so, that is forbidden, for reasons that I'm sure I don't need to explain. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Not good. This shit should be forbidden by the software. Quote
Patrick Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Nice to see Sandy Alomar Jr getting a few more manager interviews. Bet he is in Cleveland another year (...and Carlos Santana would continue to benefit). Class guy who could be an excellent manager. Quote

Is a cut-and-paste post in order to leave out whole chunks of information in an effort to put down another poster forbidden, too? Pardon my sensibilities, Larry. Quote
Larry Kart Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Goodspeak -- I don't know to what cut-and-paste post you're referring; enlighten me. As for what you did, just don't do it again. Quote

Dave James Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Looks like Florida is out to become a player. They're seriously courting both Jose Reyes and Luis Pujols. That would be some coup for a team that most people barely know is there. Edited November 12, 2011 by Dave James Quote

That would be some coup for a team that most people barely know is there. They're reporting up here that the Marlins (who are changing their name to the Miami Marlins) have made an offer to Pujols, as well as Reyes. I also believe they're moving into a new stadium in 2012.

As for what you did, just don't do it again. Pretty much anything Brad posts but #75 prompted my tongue-in-cheek response you are referring to. I think you will find that rare is the day I do something like that, but as per your wishes, it won't happen again. Cheers. Tim Edited November 12, 2011 by GoodSpeak Quote
Brad Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 I really have no idea what you're talking about especially since I don't post all that much but if you object to the fact that I took your post out of context and gave a meaning not intended, my apologies. Regards, Brad Quote
Tim McG Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) With Melky Cabrera on board I don't know that the Giants will be pursuing Reyes or Pujols...but it would sure be nice to get one more big bat in the line-up. If I had to pick, I would like Pujols and on a two-year deal. Edited November 12, 2011 by GoodSpeak Quote

That would be some coup for a team that most people barely know is there. I'm wondering how they manage the $$ on this. It's a 37000 seat stadium, Ramirez is signed at about $11mil/year, Reyes will be at least $10mil/year, Pujols about $20-25mil/year. It doesn't seem to leave much for a pitching staff, etc. Quote

vajerzy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Speaking of roof- does the new Florida- or Miami stadium have one? Quote
Chalupa Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Yes, it has a retractable roof. http://miami.marlins.mlb.com/mia/ballpark/webcam.jsp Well maybe all of those Heat fans will buy tix to see the Marlins since they won't be watching Bball in South Beach this season.http://www.google.com/search?q=miami+marlins+new+stadium&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=707&prmd=imvnsu&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=avLBTsTfJ-GV0QGjheGFDw&ved=0CDsQsAQ Quote
Bill Nelson Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 If Miami signs Pujols and he gets injured again, maybe his contract will be 'retractable' like the roof. Quote
JSngry Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Looks like Matt Kemp & the Dodgers want to be together for eight years: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/14/report-matt-kemp-dodgers-in-serious-discussions-on-160-million-deal/ That seems like a long time for a quality player to be tied to a team whose ownership is still not stable. But maybe Kemp's got the faith. Quote
Brad Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Here's a rendering of the new ballpark for the Marlins. They've also redesigned their logo and uniforms. Edited November 15, 2011 by Brad Quote

Noj Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Kemp is one of the best players in baseball, I'm glad he chose to stay. The Dodgers need to build around him and Kershaw. Quote
JSngry Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Definitely. Eight years is a long contract...he must have faith in the organization's plans, whatever they are. Quote
