Glad to see that the Pirates are all over the free agent market right now.

 

[tigsfan]

Not to worry, the Pirates just nabbed a guy about 10 mins ago.

Berkman to Cards = More NL Central dominance

 

[tigsfan]

Berkman can actually hurt that team as now he has to be a LF/RF player, and therefore a defensive liability. I don't see him earning that $8 million next year, but the Cardinals have proven me wrong before.

 

[tndcollectables]

berkman actually could help them out. that is IF he stays healthy and if he bats second.

you are sadly mistaken if you think berkman will be a liability in the OF

 

[c73clevans]

I wish my Pirates would have stayed away from Olsen. I hope he keeps the drama down this year.

and this is your baseball mod

 

[tigsfan]

Berkman just isn't a defensive player in the OF, he is more of a 1B/DH type player now. It will work OK for St. Louis only because the pitching staff is a ground ball type pitching. Almost any other team, and Berkman as an OF will be a big failure.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Christmas specials...

 

[OilMan]

nothing personal son..and i do love all your postings on trades and such, i get alot of it on here before anywhere else....you do a fine job , thats for sure and i appreciate it, far as player knowledge though ??????????

Sources: Cliff Lee to rejoin Philadelphia Phillies - ESPN

Go crazy folks, go crazy! This rotation just became a huge headache.

Roy Halladay
Cliff Lee
Roy Oswalt
Cole Hamels
Joe Blanton

 

[tigsfan]

I'm sorry St. Louis fans, but you just signed the most hated man in Detroit for the past couple years.

Mr. Gerald "I can't hit the ball to save my life" Laird (you better hope Yadier plays 162 games this year)

 

[c73clevans]

I can not believe that Lee went to the Phillies. That pitching rotation is going to play hell on a lot of clubs all year.

 

[tigsfan]

Things have been moving very rapidly as of yesterday. A few more big impact FA's have gone off the board (Ordonez, Martin, Wood, Guerrier) so you better hope your team is doing something TODAY or else it isn't looking good for them.
