MLB Off-Season Signings

[Old Soul]

Hasn't been a thread about it, but both JD Drew (5/70) and Julio Lugo (4/40 I believe) went to Boston, Juan Pierre (4/44), Randy Wolf (1/8) and Jason Schmidt to Dodgers (3/47), Ted Lilly to Cubs (4/40), Adam Eaton to Phils (3/24), Vicente Padilla resigned with Rangers (4/44)

A few other moves made as well. TONS of fucking money for players not worth it. To boot, Cards re-signed Carpenter to a 5/65 deal... the guy is worth a lot more than that.

[Iceodu921]

dont forget the cubs overpaying for soriano.

[Old Soul]

Thread was already made for that, faggot.

[Iceodu921]

lol are you made at me or the contract?

[Old Soul]

Neither really, just wanted to call you a faggot.

Soriano keeps himself in great shape, so it is possible he produces until he's 38 or 39. It might not be so bad.

[Iceodu921]

hes prolly really 34 right now.

ice is mad because the mets are gonna suck again next year with absolutely zero pitching.




this just in:

the royals have pitching, prolly a better staff than the mets do at this point.

they traded for bannister, and got rid of walk-happy burgos. i mean, yeh the guy throws 99 mph, but he throws it into the ocean from kansas.

and now the royals are signing gil meche. theyll be ok.









and by the way... in case anyway hasnt noticed....



the red sox lineup next year will be:



crisp CF
drew RF
ortiz DH
ramirez LF
lugo SS
varitek C
youkilis 1B
lowell 3B
pedroia/cora 2B




looks damn fine to me

[Iceodu921]

suck again?

we were an inning away from beating the team that won it all.

and our pitching isnt done dumbass their are rumors of harden blanton mulder oswaltt, peavy, zito. landing one of them gives us a rock solid rotation. we traded a end of the guy roation a young pitcher in which we have plenty of for a guy with great stuff.

sounds alot like mora to me who was fixed with the mets. peterson worked great with hard throwers with control problems last year sounds like a good deal to me.

and are you telling me the royals staff is better than glavine el duque maine perez pelfrey? which wont even be our opening day rotation we will get another big pitcher guarnteed.


once again you prove you dont know shit about baseball.

[Old Soul]

Cubs sign Daryle Ward for bench help

Solid signing.

[Iceodu921]

He rakes vs. righties... at least now if D. Lee goes down we have an adequate back-up. Nats are shopping Ryan Church, who in limited playing time, has put up very solid #'s. If we can land him from our surplus pitching, we could have a very solid team. I'm stoked for this year.

[Iceodu921]

I like the moves you guys have made I'm not a big soriano guy but having D LEE should allow him to not try and hit a homer everytime up. I think you guys will be our main compeition this year.

However I thought the same thing last year.

bannister was a guy u predicted to be ROY last year, dont front
and u wont get ANY of those guys, and here's why:
zito wont play in NY
peavy is staying right where he is
so is oswalt
mulder likes st. louis
blanton is a joke u can have him
and theres no fucking way in hell u outbid the yankees for harden


sorry bucko

once again you prove you dont know shit about baseball.

keep pretending, it suits your teams well

[Iceodu921]

what?

My sig was a joke i keep telling you that Bannister was rated below all of our other young pitchers hes predicted at best as a 3rd starter. He had decent numbers but now where near a cant miss. The fact that you think we got raped in this deal proves you dont know shit.

if we dont get zito its because we wont give him 6 years wtf do you get your info about him not wanting to play in ny?

blanton is a joke? haha...and outbid the yankees for harden? wtf are you talking about hes not a FA. Do you really think the yanks have more trading chips than us?

God your dumb.

and if we dont get any of the players listed we will still get a front of the line starter.

Would you care to make a bet on that?

[Old Soul]

They should trade for Hudson or Penny.

Milledge's name has been thrown all over the place so far. I thought he'd be part of your future but chances look pretty grim right now.

Bonds back to San Fran
Pettite to NYY
