Joe Mauer to move to 1B full-time in 2014.

Probably a necessary move. He was a slightly above average catcher and obviously a very good-hitting catcher. While this move definitely solidifies him as the most overpaid player in baseball (actually, maybe not...there are some pretty broken-down holders of big contracts), it probably preserves his knees for a few more years.

And with Wilson Ramos ready to assume catcher duties...what? They traded him for Matt Capps? Damn.

Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Ruben Amaro, Jr. Is terrible. The Phillies are old and suck.

But they have former glory! And Chase Utley and Cliff Lee and Ryan Howard and Marlon Byrd and Jimmy Rollins, and.... Ew.

FOX Philly (Eskin) reporting the Phils are working on a trade with Toronto where we'd get Bautista (for 3B too, not just RF) for Dom Brown + prospects

Not sure if gusta...

If it happens, I'm betting on Brown to return to pre-2013 form because Blue Jays.

Baseball games going too slow for you? Don't worry, they're adding 2 replay challenges per manager per game!

They shouldn't have any appreciable impact on the game. I watched the challenge usage during the Arizona Fall League and it took about as much time to review a challenged play as it did for the manager to come out, argue, kick some dirt and walk back dejectedly to the dugout without the call being overturned (or worse ejected and then belly ache about it) as happened under the old system.

Howard Eskin is a moron. I'm not surprised that there was no truth to that. He had to make up some rumor to stay relevant in Philadelphia.
