Wut

 

[elcheato]

The Tigers spending at will, while the Indians think adding Rajai Davis and Mike Napoli is enough to propel them from average to division contender

 

[snipezo]

Well, I thought you'd be used to it by now. I do think Napoli will be a serviceable DH and Rajai a good 4th of.

Their rotation sucks though so they don't have a shot at the postseason.

 

[elcheato]

Davis is gonna play nearly every day for the first two months. Maybe all season, considering I think our CF is Abraham Almonte. Unless Bradley Zimmer gets fast tracked to the bigs, but that won't happen

Kluber for Pillar 

 

[snipezo]

didn't realize how awesome JD Martinez was last season. 
 
3-4-5 of miggy, jd, upton is pretty scary. tigers will probably win the central again. 

 

[Mexi]

Wasnt miggy-jd-cespedes really good last year too?

 

[snipezo]

oh yeah, right. iirc miggy didn't play much last season, though. and who knows, maybe we'll see a vmart bounce back next season. 

 

[Teagz]

I guarantee Ausmus is gonna hit Upton 6th. 
 
It should go: Kinsler-Upton-Cabrera-JD-Victor
But it will be: Kinsler-Maybin-Miggy-Victor-JD-Upton

 

[Mexi]

Should put jd or jup 2nd

 

[Pugz]

I guarantee Ausmus is gonna hit Upton 6th. 
 
It should go: Kinsler-Upton-Cabrera-JD-Victor
But it will be: Kinsler-Maybin-Miggy-Victor-JD-Upton

yea thats what im thinking too

Ken Rosenthal destroyed the Mets. 
 
http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/new-york-mets-yoenis-cespedes-five-year-contract-011916
 

Sign him to a five-year, $120 million contract with a two-year opt-out and a ton of deferred money.
 
Cespedes, 30, could claim victory – he would get the long-term security he wants and a higher average annual value ($24 million) than Justin Upton ($22.125M).
 
The Mets would win, too – the five-year term is shorter than Cespedes desires, the deferred money would lower the present-day value of the deal and the opt-out would ensure that the outfielder stays motivated. 
 

The Mets should have the money. They have spent a combined $35.5 million on four free agents this offseason – less than the Marlins, less than the Rockies, less than the Athletics – and made a trade for second baseman Neil Walker that was essentially cash-neutral. Their payroll, including pending arbitration cases, does not figure to increase much beyond where it was at the end of last season – about $110 million.
 
By contrast, the payroll of the Mets’ World Series opponent – the Royals – figures to top $130 million. The Royals play in Kansas City, a low-revenue market in the Midwest. The Mets play inNew York, a high-revenue market in the nation’s media capital. What’s wrong with this picture?
 
Mets officials bristle at criticism that they do not spend enough money. Well, they hear such criticism because they … do … not … spend  … enough money.

 
KILL 'EM KEN!

The DH might be coming to the NL in 2017, and it's about damn time. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Fuck no

 

[elcheato]

You should start a petition for the Orioles to abandon the DH, make a stand imo.
