    Works out great for the AL, because I'd MUCH rather face the O's than Texas.
     
  2. well yeah, but they would have played a 1 game playoff anyways was my point.
  3. Ah yeah, gotcha.

    Dodgers are already above the luxury tax threshold before signing any free agents and arbitration raises. I'm not saying that an organization crazy enough to take all that salary off of Boston's hand won't go out an spend a shit load of money, but one has to think they're probably done.
     
  5. True, figured they would've had more money coming off the books, but it's only a couple players now that I think of it. Wouldn't surprise me to see them get involved, but yeah, logica thinking would suggest otherwise.

    I think they'll do everything they can to sign Greinke

Agree that SF needs to lock up Posey before they do anything, then try and sign Scutaro too. Only sign Pagan if he comes at a good price. I don't think he can repeat the year he just had. With Zito coming off the books the year after next, and Rowand, Huff, and Sanchez this year, SF has some money to spend. Signing Bourne, Posey, Scutaro, and Pagan doesn't seem too far fetched.

    Forgot about Lincecum, but SF was excited when he pitched to a 3.83 ERA after the All-Star break. I doubt SF throws him 20mill a year after what he did this year.

    That's funny, I was just talking to some friends tonight about if they could sign both. I think pagan is going to be way overpaid this offseason, so I don't know if he's automatically gonna be 50m cheaper than bourn. Obviously I would love to see them sign both and move pagan to left is he's cheap.

    Lincecum is so fucking frustrating. The drop in velocity this year is troubling, and I think they wait to do anything with him. I can guarantee the zito contract will be fresh in their mind when negotiating with Timmy, and I wouldn't be surprised if next year is his last as a giant if he doesn't return to form. Somebody out there will overpay for him based on what he could potentially do, and having locked up Cain and Bum, I don't see the giants needing him that much if his best days are behind him.

    just said same thing in Braves/Cards thread...and i'm a huge Cards fan obviously.

    don't like it at all...and like zepp, voiced my disdain before the season.

    1 division in each league...make as balanced of a schedule as you possibly can...take top 4 teams from each division and have the Division Series'.

    and only 4-1 if they had Miggy
