2011-2012 MLB Off-Season Thread

blah. hes too fat. DH him. both make too much money to just DH though.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I really think Cabrera is going to play 3B and Fielder 1B.

 

[snipezo]

I don't know how the Boras does it. However, 9 years for someone who's that fat isn't a good idea.

 

[Pugz]

the dude has to be healthy though. i know hes huge and all but a vegetarian cant be too unhealthy lol. the team just hast to make sure he doesnt get lazy

 

[RipCity32]

I guess Fielder starting eat meat again around playoff time last year. At least that is what I read.

 

[cruzg24]

The Mets were big free agency spenders this year. They got: Andres Torres, Frank Francisco, Ramon Ramirez, and Jon Rauch.

With those moves alone, it puts the team in contention in the NL East.


Contention for last place.....

:spideypalm:

Looking at the NL after this offseason -- wow, just wow. The level of talent for 1B in the NL is atrocious.

The AL is loaded with 1B now

Pujols
Miggy
Tex
Prince
A-Gon
Paul Konerko (vastly underrated)

 

[bosoxlover12]

It will be interesting to see who the 2nd 1B to make the ASG will be

Gonzo, Prince, and Teix are all very good candidates.

Miggy will win the 3B vote if he is indeed a 3B. If not, its Longo/Youk/ARod

 

[snipezo]

MLB.com top 100 prospects will be unveiled tonight. Gonna be interesting.

 

[Mexi]

so you're telling me James Loney has a shot at being an all-star next year

lol

but i will say this, he changed his stance the last 2 months last year, and he was a completely new hitter. this was different that his other streaks. he had some good power for a change. he has serious incentive to play well because he'll be the best 1st baseman FA next year.

Watching Baseball IQ on MLB Network, first time i've seen it but these people are retarded.

 

[Elite]

They were a lot smarter last night. The Royals guy was pretty good but the Blue Jays guy was dumb.

 

[NV]

Are you watching the one that's on now?

 

[NV]

This guy just pulled out his jersey from his Russian baseball team...wtf

 

[Elite]

Yeah. I was shocked that neither said Pettitte or Maddux on the World Series thing.

They always seem to leave out an obvious one or two and try and get the not as well known guys.

 

[NV]

Yeah like not naming La Russa.

And they said Erstad instead of Hunter for the most recent Angels OF Gold Glove.

 

[Elite]

Roger Maris? Two-time MVP in the 60s? Idiots.

 

[NV]

That's what i'm saying.

And this fat fu ck needs to shave that thing on his chin.

 

[Elite]

I could have named almost all of the lead-off guys.
