waltere Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Dear lord that's creepy.I didn't think such a thing was possible but DJ Kitty may not be the worst promotion idea to come from the Rays this offseason. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I give the Angels a 2-year window to utilize Pujols and C.J. and win at least one WS title before I call the winter blockbuster a disaster-of-a-deal they did with St. Louis.They didn't do any deal with St. Louis. They signed him as a free agent.So before the Yankees traded Burnett they were said to have about 2 million to spend on a DH... but they wanted to trade Burnett for cap relief... then they go an sign Ibanez (1.1m) and Chavez (900k) = 2m. I just dont understand why the yankees felt they needed to say Burnett had to be traded before they could spend the money that they were going to already spend. Not that it really matters and its better off that AJ is gone. I think Ibanez will do fine as a part time DH and you already know what youre gonna get for Chavez.There is no salary cap in baseball.Technically no.. but the new CBA heavily taxes teams who go over the luxury threshold. Far more than before. Yankees are trying to get their payroll in the $185-189 range by 2014 when that part comes in to play.Anyways here are my predictions. AL East: Yankees AL Central: TigersAL West: RangersAL WC: Angels/Red SoxAL MVP- Adrian GonzalezAL CY- CC SabathiaAL ROY- Yu Darvish (it was either him or Matt Moore)NL East: PhilliesNL Central: RedsNL West: GiantsNL WC: Diamondbacks/CardinalsNL MVP- Troy TulowitzkiNL CY- Matt CainNL ROY- Bryce HarperWS- Yankees defeat Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is it a sure thing that the duel wild card will be in this year?The Commish is certainly pushing hard for it.

rams80 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Seeing split wild card predictions just reminds me of how fricken idiotic the new rule is, especially in light of what happened on the final day of 2011.Hi! I understand that what made the end of the 2011 so special was the fact that it was a coincidental aberration the likes of which we likely wouldn't see again in our lifetimes! Do you? I'd rather institute something that handicaps the Wild Card rather than keep the status quo in the vain hope that lightning will strike twice.NL East: PhilliesNL Central: BrewersNL West: GiantsNL Wildcard: DiamondbacksThe Brewers are gonna be lucky if they can finish in 3rd place this year, much less win the division. It's basically a two team race between the Cardinals and Reds.Good Lord, the NL Central's going to be a hot mess this season.

Lights Out Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 AL WC: Blue Jays/RoyalsAs much as I would love for this to happen.... you really, truly think the Jays and Royals are better than the Yankees and Red Sox?Not necessarily better per se... but I think the Yanks and Sawx will disappoint this year (which means ESPN will become the Phillies Network instead). I especially don't get the hype lingering around the Red Sox. They had a disastrous offseason and are coming off two straight years of missing the playoffs.And I also think the Jays and Royals will really surprise people this year.

If they can convince Roy Oswalt to sign, they have a pretty good rotation. They'll contend.EDIT: And, the Red Sox were veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery close to making the playoffs in 2011. You make it sound like they're coming off two straight 80-win seasons.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Though that does remind me of one player who almost certainly won't repeat his 2011 success, in Jacoby Ellsbury.And, yes, if you wanted to say Curtis Granderson won't repeat his 2011 success, either, I would also agree. Just to be totally fair about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
