catalinacaper Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 All about the multiple opt-outs. Just glad the Nats keep getting snubbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Cubs are losing some draft picks this year. Hopefully their pitching doesn't take a step back this coming year. Can't blame players going there hoping to make history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Wow, Appel is in on that Giles trade now. I'd pretty much given up on him panning out so I'm not too bummed about trading him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 5 coming to the phils now or is he replacing someone else in it? I'll certainly take him, May not pan out but if he does it wiill be a steal.

Sucks that Fisher is out. He was looking like a good OF option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm actually kind of pissed now that I'm reading it's a 6 year deal. WTF you wouldn't sign Greinke to 6 years but you'll do it for Cueto who is not as good. I'm still pleased, and hopefully Righetti will straighten him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 oh I see they can opt out after 2 seasons, I should probably read the whole thing before getting worked up >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 dude got exPOSED in the AL. Oh come on, if he had resigned with the Royals you'd be singing his praises for his World Series complete game. Nobody really knows if he was dealing with health issues last season or not.

abovetheearth Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 nobody here was singing his praises dude. he got us what we needed but take a peak and that awful stretch he had for us. I don't want to use "possible" health issues an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Cueto is solid. Lots of reasons why he could have struggled during that stretch (new league, minor fatigue/injury, different defense, etc). His previous 4-5 years of productions aren't trumped by a few weeks of starts in a new league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm actually kind of pissed now that I'm reading it's a 6 year deal. WTF you wouldn't sign Greinke to 6 years but you'll do it for Cueto who is not as good. I'm still pleased, and hopefully Righetti will straighten him out I would rather have the Cueto deal BY FAR. Cueto's stock about as low as it has been in 5 years and Greinke will never approach what he did this year again. Cueto also younger. I'm not positive I would take Greinke over Cueto if the money was equal. Probably, but not by a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 new league.yes. exposed in the AL.different defense was ranked top 5 best. I think he's solid too. but he got shelled. but for all the stats we love in here, I'll just chalk it up to fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 He also didnt like how Salvy was calling games when he first came over. A pitcher not being comfortable with a catcher can really mess with their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 so much for the "shit i forgot to clear out my cookies" defense... http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/the-details-in-the-cardinals-astros-hacking-scandal-are-insane-211314578.htmlSome of the things that were done - pretty serious:• Correa accessed the Astros' Ground Control system on June 8, 2013 (the third day of the draft) and looked at Houston's reports on players. Among them: one player the Astros would pick that day, a player who was drafted by another team and the players the Cardinals drafted the previous day.• On July 31, 2013, the MLB trade deadline, Correa accessed Ground Control and looked at the Astros' notes on trade discussions.• On March 10, 2014, Correa gained access to Ground Control after the Astros had changed its URL and all of its users' passwords. In the days before this breach, the Astros' system had gotten national attention from a Houston Chronicle article, so they changed the URL and reset everyone's passwords in order to prevent this exact type of activity. However, Correa hacked into an exec's e-mail account to get the new URL and password, then viewed 118 pages of the Astros' draft rankings, scouting reports and trade notes.I think the commissioner has to come down pretty hard on St. Louis so they set a precedent about this kind of thing.

I think the commissioner has to come down pretty hard on St. Louis so they set a precedent about this kind of thing. And in the 2014 draft, the Astros went first and the Cardinals went last, meaning that except for the first few rounds with comp picks, the Cardinals were drafting directly ahead of the Astros. So all that access clearly could have effected the draft. As an Astros fan, I obviously have a biased view of this issue, but this really is a big deal. Hopefully Manfred takes picks from the Cardinals. I don't even care if they are awarded to the Astros (although I'd be happy if they were).

stl_ben Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wow yes he should definitely be banned from MLB for life + whatever the court decides to do with him. However, not sure why the team should be penalized.Penalize players & owners that had nothing to do with it? Also this isn't just because Im a Cardinal fan. I find it dumb that college teams get banned when coaches do something wrong. SO some 18 year old kid gets penalized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
