Looks like Hanley and Panda to Boston are done.

I should be scared, but I'm not. Because I know Hanley is going to kill that clubhouse.

The White Sox seem to love former Nats 1st basemen named Adam. But Laroche will be a lot better than Dunn was for them.

Hopefully we can make a move for a 2B if we don't resign Cabrera. Rizzo never telegraphs his moves and always seems to pull signings/trades out of nowhere(Gio in 2012, Fister last year)so I'm excited to see what he can come up with.

Oakland insecure? I wish you would have that internet courage to say that to people in Oakland. We'll see who's laughing

considering he used to live in oakland, i'm sure he already has before

I lived in Hayward before.

is that close enough?

No it is not. Not culturally.

He's a cancer when he doesn't get his way. If he gets moved to the outfield in Boston and the Sawx don't look good in the first few months of the season, he'll start to bark.

Book it.

never had a problem with him in LA.
Donnie basically mumbled at the end of the season that his lack of a deal affected him but nothing outside of that he blended in just fine.

From everything I saw while Hanley was in LA was fine too. He's definitely cocky, but I wouldn't rule that as a clubhouse cancer. I think David Ortiz will be a great mentor for him, because face it, he only had Uribe over here.

Sandoval - Hanley - Ortiz - Cespedes.... my goodness.

I thought he kept to himself mostly. Don't think he can really relate to Hanley much.

I'm glad LaRoche is out of the East.

Why the hell did Kyle Seager get 7yrs/$100 mil?

RIPskaterdude · Post #115 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 12:23 am

Because if Shin-Soo Choo could get $100 million, then anyone can

Because he's better than Pablo Sandoval who got the same amount for 2 less years.

i thought that was great value for a solid defensive 3B with pop in his bat.

Neddy · Post #118 » by **Neddy** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 4:49 am

the fan base here in NorthWest generally loves Kyle Seager and want him to stay a mariner for life. among the kids they brought up recently Kyle is definitely the fan favorite and winning the gold glove now made him a sort of an icon round here. and by signing for a long term deal when the Mariners are about to break a bank for a TV deal from what i understand, should turn this deal into a bargain the latter half of his contract.

and the hardest place to find a good player in baseball is 3B.

Lol please dont think this guy represents Oakland though.. or A's fans, at all. Just looking for reactions.

but Beane royally F'd up when he dealt Addison. Loved the Cespedes deal though, that dude is way overrated.
