Apparently they have known about it for 3-4 weeks.

So glad they added Fielder's contract and Choo. Now Texas has some albatross contracts on the books for a long time

Did Ian Kinsler send a bunch of voodoo dolls to Texas?

Elvis Andrus will go from 6.5 mil to 15 mil next year and continue at that rate for the next 8 years.   They are also on the hook for the 41 million still due to Harrison who may be forced to retire due to injury.  I wonder how much of that contract will be taken care of by insurance.

"It sounds like he's probably been dealing with it more than just this year," Daniels said.

 

 

So last seasons drop off wasn't related to his divorce.

a fat guy with back problems?

 

no way.

I thought that comment was funny considering he also said this 

 

"He had never been symptomatic, so I don't know that we would have done cervical X-rays and an MRI. That's not standard," Daniels said.

no way. 

It's not his back, it's  his neck.

This is gold.

And all these people kept saying he had never had a serious injury so he was a safe bet to sign.

[Hollyw00d]

Love this trade!

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

And all these people kept saying he had never had a serious injury so he was a safe bet to sign.

That was usually in response to people who said he was an injury risk because of his weight even though he missed very few games through this MLB career.

[Docwaukee]

he doesn't have a neck.

[bloodbrother]

Choo has been great for them

 

For now. He's still signed for 6 more seasons at $20+ million and he will be turning 31 in July.

[Hollyw00d]

Choo is more of a sure thing than prince eater

Announcer of the game on FoxSports1 said, "Ya hate to see this."

Me:  "No I don't."

F any player that does not play on the Halos, and especially F any player that plays for the following teams:  The Mutha F*cking Yankees, The Boston Mother F*cking Roid Suck, and The Mauther F*cking Texas Tweakers!!!!

[ten ocho recon scout]

i disagree wholeheartedly. i don't even feel any kind of hatred towards any teams, including ones in our division. i cheer for the angels and want them to win. other than that, good for whomever wins it all. i actually have many teams that i like, but i want the angels to win above all. i find all the hatred to be childish and kind of insincere.

[Chimi]

Not good for him.  I've been dealing with a herniated disc for the last 4 months or so.  Mine is in my lower back though, not my neck.  But there are days when I'm fine and then there are days when it affects my legs big time.  Can't imagine trying to play sports with one.  They take a while to heal.

Back when I was in college our trainer used to say that pain got a guy into the trainer's room, and weakness got him on into the operating room.   Fielder is already at that weakness point.

where did hunger get him?

[eligrba]

That trade looks better with each passing day.

 

The Tigers took a satisfying major dump on the Rangers.

where did hunger get him?

Hometown buffet.
