Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Like the Fan Scouting Report, but on fangraphs. Uses sweet drop down menu instead of making you do all the work. Do it.

Mauer extension - OT

I don’t give the Twins a snowball’s chance in hell of signing him to an extension. Yankees anyone? Posada is getting up there… Plus the Yankees can sign anyone they want. My doom and gloom fanpost will be popping up on the RR soon.

I'd give it a coin fliip's chance.

He is a local boy, and perhaps NY/BOS is not his idea of a great fanbase. He is adored in MN. Who represents him?

i agree that it's certainly possible that jones will get significant ABs and be productive.

i disagree that rios’ contract is ludicrous and that he is in the process of running himself out of baseball.

by BuehrleMan on Dec 1, 2009 10:28 AM CST up reply actions  

Jones is a great signing for the money

Rios doesn’t have to do that much to meet his contract value, provided his defense stays good and his offense returns to mediocrity, albeit if they don’t play him in CF we’d have problems.

I posted this yesterday.....

but I don’t understand why neither Cheat/Larry have posted a Primer for the off-season…….wish list….etc. etc……I guess Larry’s role is to just rip into people rather than offer an intelligent discussion of what the Sox should do to get ready for 2010…..

You didn't ask me, for good reason I'm sure, but if you would like me to rosterbate to re-ignite the discussion, I will happily throw something together because I am here to serve the community as a fearless and underperforming editor.

However, mine would look similar to U-dog’s, only with a lot of emphasis on RBI-producers.

Also – maybe you have your own wish list and want to make a fanpost for it? Maybe since there ain’t much going on these days, it would be front-paged and lead the discussion?

(I’m not being sarcastic – be the change that you want to see in the site. Ok, that last line was intentionally corny…but for real….do it.)

Not picky, but very sticky....

man, I am opposite of you

I think there are too many hypothetical debates of what the team needs and what they are going to do in the off season. Have you been following soxmachine and his non-existing blog/site with reader off season plans? And what about all the jokes here about Kone Figgins, Gonzalez……. Plus the team has no $$$ to spend, so there is really not much to write about.

Times have changed. It’s not like the Old Days, when we can do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. If larry had all the answers, and the stats and projections from fangraphs, then he must share them, or let us others use them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly he can present a bill for such services; after all… we are not Communists/Marxists/Socialists/OPOS from Florida.

The Sox also announced the early lineup for SoxFest 2010, with players like Freddy Garcia, Jake Peavy, Jayson Nix, A.J. Pierzynski, Alexei Ramirez and Matt Thornton locked in to attend.
Coincidentally, Bobby Jenks’ name was not listed, despite the fact that the closer actually is the one player that lives in Chicago in the offseason.
Jenks and the Sox have not seen eye-to-eye with his conditioning, with both sides expressing that in the Sun-Times two weeks ago.

I searched for your primer and this is what I found in the archives...this is before Editor status

and before you got soft. Ahhh….classic larry:

lol, boy, this is amusing
guys who suck at hitting and are obviously overmatched should go up there looking for a pitch and swing at that pitch if they get it. work the count? again, this ain’t little league. this is juan uribe facing joba chamberlain. ever heard of him? strikes out a lot of guys, doesn’t walk a lot of guys? work the count. you hear that one from your dad in third grade? please. you don’t get to work the count against guys like chamberlain when you’re juan uribe. guess where uribe would have been if he didn’t swing at that first pitch? behind in the count. against joba chamberlain. exactly where a piss poor hitter wants to be against him.

you must have a great fastball
and, no, you don’t throw a fastball to juan uribe. christ. where do you come up with this stuff? do you watch baseball on a regular basis? do you think about it with something more than a passing thought that doesn’t include what you learned in little league? you throw a slider and hope it’s good enough that he does with it exactly what uribe did with it.

in their respective baseball purgatories, both frank thomas and jerry owens loudly whine.
