tx_rush Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Liriano resigns with Pirates 3 yrs 39 mil. Thats a lot of money for the pirates, but nowadays crummy veterans with 4.98 ERAs seem to get 8 mil a year. Ill take it, glad we moved quickly after Lester got signed, he could have been some other teams consolation prize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say much more competitive They do, but a lot of question marks as well. But if the bats do no come thorugh, Castro/Rizzo regress, and of course injuries they could easily #5. In any case, finally something to look forward to beyond September callups.

invisible airwave Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Lester to the Cubs, 6 years, $155 million. Things are coming together...maybe even abit early. :) Marty McFly is cooking something up. From personal experience, Maddon is a good choice since he was my team's bench coach before his TB gig. Hell, I prefer him over Scioscia to be honest. At least my Angels won't have to deal with him save the occasional interleague game. Sucks that Kung Fu Panda switched leagues so they have to face him a lot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Supposedly LA has a lot of middle infielders in the farm system. I think they are looking at Rollins as a stop gap. But dropping Gordon takes a way a ton of SBs and speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Dodgers were busy today. Traded Dee Gordon to Miami and traded for Jimmy Rollins My Angels got one Butera from your team as backup for Ianetta this week. I hear he can throw to 2nd well. Too bad he's another Jeff Mendoza Mathis when it comes to hitting after seeing his stats on baseball-reference.com.

invisible airwave Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just found out about HK47. Warts and all, gonna miss him. Good average hitter but makes a lot of double plays which irritated me. Just read the stats of the new 2B from Colorado and I'm not amused. That's bad even for someone who plays in a hitter's ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jealous of the Cubs' success. And long term contracts to pitchers over 30 work out great historically. Lester was good and sometimes great pitcher for the Sox. I hope he enjoyed the 2007 and 2013 championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
