the thing is, they can live with a 4.6 era if they're getting 200+ innings (which he's done for 10 straight years)
all they need out of that spot in the rotation is dependability. at worst, vasquez gives them that. at best, he's a top 10 pitcher in the al. either way i think it's a steal (this is a testament to how mediocre melky is more than anything)
Which furthers my point that the NY Y minor league system is horrendously over-rated and hasn't produced anything other than middling talent since 1995. I'll give them Cano, but eventually that is going to bite them in the ass.
Two Hundred Million Dollars
Yes, this is very true. But sooner or later, someone will get injured, a free-agent signing will bust and they will be unable to move such a huge contract. What is CC pops a ligament? What is AJ tears a cuff? If there is one thing that the Yankees have been extremely fortunate with it has been the lack of significant injuries to their team during their reign.

You mean like our 19 game winner going down for two years, losing both our starting catcher and backup for about a month, not having our star third baseman for a month last year.
Those kinds of injuries?
Because if you're talking about the Mets kind of injuries no one can really compete after that.
That and if the yankees lose a hitter it's not a big deal. But Chien-Ming Wang was a two time 19 winner who was crippled due to injuries. That wasn't exactly a fun loss.
Well anyone in the past who got over 70% (but less than 75% required to get in) has always gotten in eventually, so that's probably good news for both players.
in other news, the cubs hired greg maddux as a special assistant to the GM
Maddux's duties will include helping with instruction for both major-leaguers and minor-leaguers during spring training, as well as scouting duties throughout the season.
According to a source with knowledge of the signing, Maddux will be at the beck and call of Hendry during the season to evaluate minor-league affiliates and give the general manger input when trades or free-agent signings are being considered
this is pretty damned good news for the cubs in my book
On June 23, 2006, Myers was arrested and charged with assault after witnesses saw him punching his wife, Kim Myers, on a downtown Boston street, after an argument. The Phillies received criticism from some media members and women's organizations for not benching Myers. Myers took a short leave of absence from the team. During a pre-trial hearing on October 5, 2006, Kim Myers indicated that she did not want her husband prosecuted, and despite the prosecutor's insistence of filing charges, the case was dismissed. The couple has been in marriage counseling since the arrest.

he refused to pitch in Boston if the Phillies had played the Sox in the 2008 WS because the crowd gives him such crap about it
First place in the six divisions is up for debate.
Last place, however, is a slam dunk. Mark it down now.
Last place still belongs to the Royals in the AL Central, Oakland in the AL West, Toronto in the AL East, Washington in the NL East, Pittsburgh in the NL Central and San Diego in the NL West.
He then goes to recap why all the teams have been historically bad without any real insight into future prospects or the status of possible last-place competition in each division.

And my starting ERA is 1.87
Time to up the difficulty again
But if I let the team simulate any game they are fucked

Barry Bombs hit like 75 home runs in a 30-game season last time I played one in 2k9.
Oh, and Tim Lincecum averaged about 20 strikeouts.
Well, you will have to literally steal him - he just signed with the Mets

Also Randy Johnson retires.
The Big Unit is going on tour with Soundgarden.
also five fucking blank ballots (one being Jay "I'm a Fame Hag" Marriotti
Fucking cunts
Go back in your hole
but ryne sandberg totally should have been in on the first ballot
What this really shows is just how ridiculous Hall of Fame voting is in baseball, but that's been done to death so it's not really worth getting into.
shit sucks
he better get in next year
this is pretty damned good news for the cubs in my book
That's Astro and Oriole legend Aubrey Huff to you.
Hopefully you just got him as a bench/backup player because he should be pretty good in that role.
That's our Sabean, dumpster diving with the best of em!
They still don't even have a catcher.

THE METS ARE A BAD ORGANIZATION
