If i do not go over 100m in player payroll or transfer the extra anywhere I would have broken no rule.

We are having a boy, btw. I know I didnt post that here--just on fb.

Knew about that kid, not gender.  I finally quit FB a while back...  I never checked it anyway.

Congrats.

Slores get in the $ playoffs. I'm calling it now.

Seems unlikely...  but, based on what I saw last year, talent is not a very good indicator of who is going to the playoffs or advancing in the playoffs in $.

I figure I'll at the very least get a couple of picks back for Belliard. And he should mean the difference in more games this season than Morris would have.

He's an absolute difference maker in CF, and definitely a good deal for you. My thinking is that if Clarke gets anywhere those projections, I'll have gotten back from you young talent similar to what Belliard's compensation picks would have gotten, plus Morris, and then next year I'll either keep Morris, or get compensation picks. So, much better long term than just letting him go to free agency, and I don't expect to be a legit contender this year.

I think Morris is a much cheaper resign for you, if you so chose. I'm thinking he might  be a Type A next season, but I'm sure someone will sign him and you'll get the comp picks out of it.

He'd re-sign right now if I wanted, of course he's demanding 5 years and I don't know that I'd want to do that.

He's definitely the kind of guy that a team with a protected first, or who had already signed another Type A, shouldn't have much hesitation about signing if he was Type A.

I think you overrate your pitching. It's good, but not win lots of games without any offense good. Your 5th starter is going to get destroyed by righties, and your #3 and #4 are solid, but nothing special. Bullpen is stacked, but not as stacked as it was before you dealt Keller.

Yep

If this was real-life, Robin Leonard wouldn't see a pitch on the plate all year.

If that jamesb dude listens to any bullshit from other guys and doesn't agree to the trade without the cash, then this whole process needs to be called out.  I would have proposed it to him the next cycle just so that it would have gone through 4 hours later before people could pollute his mind.

I am going to also cause a **** storm if he goes back on the deal and slam the ****** that does make one with him afterwards...  just because I hate when people operate these discussions with an agenda.

i dont spend a ton of time on there, and dont often update statuses and stuff. Its good to post pictures of my kid for family to see. That way I dont have to directly communicate with my mom. Ive unfriended people who are littering my page with their inspirational messages of the day, and whatnot.

he posted that he would rework the deal when it was first brought up.

I would take exception with him not re-doing the deal without the excess cash.

Congrats Murph

With Rusty being dead for most of the season, do I have to be a glitch biatch?

only this year... after that he'll be hitting in front of **** Bomber

With the rest of your lineup, I might take my chances walking them both.
