2011-2012 MLB Off-Season Thread

Cause he was on a playoff team, you get more media play.

Santana is gonna put up monster numbers, book it. Top 20 player next season.

 

[RipCity32]

3 Tigers in the top 10
And the playoff team doesn't matter really. The Dodgers are a big market team too, they get plenty of media play.

 

[Mexi]

lol plenty of media play my ass

did you know Kenley Jansen set the ALL-TIME k/9 record in 2011? 16.1
of course not

we're the smallest big market team out there. even the mets are talked about more

we're the forgotten dodgers. but we'll be back. new ownership within the next month

 

[elcheato]

The West Coast in general doesn't get any talk because the games end so late.

 

[RipCity32]

It's Los Angeles though. They get talked about more than about 3/4 of the MLB.

It's Los Angeles though. They get talked about more than about 3/4 of the MLB.

i know it's LA, but we dont get talked about at all

not even when we were good.

cheato is right. west coast is never talked about.

 

[elcheato]

Well like I said, the games start at 10:30 and last about 7 hours. Not much coverage to be had in the prime hours.

Four Yankees in the Top 30, how the hell was Jeter ahead of Tex?

Interesting note from Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com earlier this afternoon:

@DKnobler
Some baseball people who have talked to Tigers are convinced they'll deal for a starting pitcher by opening day

No word on who the Tigers could be targeting, but they were rumored to be in talks with the Cubs for right-hander Matt Garza during the offseason.

Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Doug Fister and Rick Porcello already have rotation spots locked up, but the Tigers enter exhibition play with their fifth starter situation pretty unsettled. Jacob Turner, Andy Oliver, Drew Smyly, Duane Below, Adam Wilk and Casey Crosby are among the possibilities.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Brennan Boesch homers.. Ryan Raburn homers.. Alex Avila homers... Nice

6 runs already in the 3rd inning..

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Now Prince Fielder homers..

Delmon Young homers...

Johnny Peralta homers..

Austin Jackson homers...

Nice

 

[RipCity32]

That'd be cool for us to get a new pitcher lol.

 

[.infamous]

even better impersonation lol

 

[snipezo]

Idk I think JP's impersonation is better.

 

[Mexi]

i can dream

 

[cruzg24]

CJ Wilson, Jered Weaver, and Dan Haren. That looks so nice to have...

I guess the Yankees are not impressed at all right now with Pineda. Only throwing around 88 to 91 mph and he averaged 94 mph last season.

 

[elcheato]

A lot of pitchers don't throw at full velocity at the start of Spring Training.

Carlos Guillen has retired

 

[Mexi]

jesus montero is wearing #63 because it was the number he got with the yankees when he was called up last year
he could have changed it with the M's, but nope

63 is like a lefty specialist number lol
