Really nice thing for Finnegan to do.

Incredibly nice thing for him to do.

wonder how much 'broke fan' sold the tickets for..........

 

nice thing for Finnegan (TCU guy) to do, though......

 

KC team -- sort of like Milwaukee -- smaller market team -- places where there's almost a college team like affinity by the fans for the team and its players.

 

don't get that in the big markets so much.

 

Finnegan was pretty good down the stretch for KC -- he'll either be in the rotation next year or may take Wade Davis' spot in the pen.

 

speaking of pen depth -- Wade Davis' contract is up and he's probably not going to be re-signed by KC (although they should reconsider that position based on where the pen has gotten them this year).......but if he does become available -- not a bad guy to have in the Halos pen.

He should be free. KC is going to offer Shields.

[Yes]

Davis, along with Andrew Miller, is going to get paid. Big time. We need to place our focus on another SP with the ~9M we have to spend. Bullpen is all but complete. (Just need to pick up another middle reliever, dime a dozen). Jason Frasor type. 

 

Anyway, awesome gesture on the part of Finnegan. Don't see stuff like that too often in sports anymore. (unfortunately).

Even if he didn't sell them...probably not the best idea to do that over twitter.

 

Not that it wasn't nice, but he can expect a lot of leaches to ask them same thing.

All very good relievers should be headed to the dodgers or tigers. They don't care about money and their bullpens were straight abortions

The Tigers season played out about how I expected the Angels would have done had they made the playoffs in 2012.
