I figured he was a minor signing so it didn't get any big press

well, it kinda is true, MLB is riddled with random relievers who became good closers for awhile, and due to the volatility of relievers either faded away or lost the job later. It's rare to find a closer who lasts long term, but that's because it's rare to find a really good relief arm that...

any good reliever can close

sounds like a personal injury law firm!

He was both. He'd set guys up and throw the 95 with more movement and control and then pop some with the high cheese at 97+. IMO, he should throw as fast as hecan while still maintaining control and command. That may vary from start to start, but if he can work his way into controlling 98...

Well,sure his upside was pretty much 4th OF'er, but, for the $$$ having him for 4 years as a 4th OF'er would have still been cheap. it didn't work out. such is baseball

Yeah, I don't think it's gonna make much difference. He's gonna be throwing 98 in MLB or MiLB, so if something bad was gonna happen, it was gonna happen in either place.

hahahaha!!!! I had no considered that! But hell, Puig seemed to have ruffled many feathers over there, but has apparently slowed his roll on acting up.

Ubaldo for Markakis. I would so do that. We get out from under Markakis and only owe Ubaldo for 1 year. I might even throw in some $$$ to even things out just to clear it a year early.

the comments he made that are listed in this article (among others) http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/bud-norris-comments-indicate-that-baseball-in-midst-of-clash-of-cultures/ were taken,by some in the media, as some awful racist tirade, where any reasonable person should be able to...

I think we should keep Julio for at least another two years, if not the entire contract. We should keep him, use him up then let him go in free agency where someone else can overpay for his decline years. Let's spend $$$$ on bats in free agency, the draft and internationally or use some of...

not really, just more hyped of a player. Gray has 9.1 fWAR (10.5 bWAR) in 569.2 innings JT has 8.5 WAR (12.0 bWAR) in 739 innings Gray has the higher career ERA+ but that is pushed by 2015 a lot.... I think if you figure in recent performance and injuries they are pretty equal. Jt...

I'm good with Dansby and Ozzie at AA, this means that when they come back to play the Shuckers in August I get to see both! (and maybe get a couple of ball signed)

reporter is butthurt that Bud wouldn't talk to him in the clubhouse so he posted these rants on his twitter like the spoiled,entitled little child he is.

the way the media twisted his words and tried to paint him as a racist I don't blame him for telling them to eat a dong

I really like Cumberland and hope he can stick at the dish because I think that bat is fo realz

Pfeifer is a K machine, and that's bloody useful! especially for lefty arm even if he is just a setup man one day

"his goody goodness is good but tempered by baddy badness and some goody badness, but we think the bad goodness combined with the good goodness should help him overcome some of his baddy badness over time."

the good thing about this is that if Rodney is worth Paddack, Viz is worth more (and Miller/Chapman worth so much teams might fall back to Vizzy for better value)

When I watched the Ms Braves play the Shuckers I spotted Toscano's jersey and was like "AHA!!! so he IS real!"
