Jezuz, I just spent the last 10 years reading how everybody hated him.  Today, he's a mix between MLK and the non-pedophile Michael Jackson.

What the heck??

What is so laughable about a minor league contract? They picked up a guy that used to be a stud and suffered injury setbacks. The guy is only 34 and has had significant time off, he may just make a comeback. In any case a minor league deal is zero risk for the Royals.

Can't wait for Ravens to beat teh patriots again

there's a page on Facebook called NFL Douchebag. his post from this afternoon: "The Cardinals have averaged 1.3 yards per run, or as Trent Richardson calls it, 'a career day!'."
 
LOL

It really isn't fair that we have to be subjected to watching one of these teams again for another week

I wish I had those three hours back.  Tonight's game should be a good one.  

This one might be in his top ten.
 
Watch it!
 

Haven't seen it in a while and it's still great.

Haren requires a MLB 25 man roster spot, none of these guys do. They won't even require being on the 40 man squad.

and he was 2 for 7 in steals last year.
 
No reason to bat him ahead of Trout...all that does is kill some of his value.

I think Yankees or Tigers.

Lakers played a great game tonight, that was a quality loss

Nah, it's just the Chargers defense

I downloaded an updated roster and simulated a season on MLB The Show. The A's still won a WC spot. Billy Beane is a genius!

Crisp
Fuld
Lawrie
Butler
Reddick
Davis
Vogt (catcher)
Semien
Sogard?
 
Trading Donaldson is basically Beane admitting he shouldn't have traded Russell.
 
You don't need to trade for Shark. Hammel AND Lester.
 
Cespedes I kind of get. He didn't like to play center and was a free agent after 2015. Fine. The Red Sox just added about four outfielders and than traded Cespedes so I guess he was kind of hard to deal with. One thing I'll never understand about him is why he doesn't play right (field). What the hell is he playing left for? He has a top three arm in the game.
 
So, anyways...Beane traded Donaldson to basically hope to catch lightning in a bottle with Lawrie and 'replenish the farm system'. Fine.
 
Moss for Wendle? He better be one hell of a 2nd baseman in two years.
 
Signing Butler for 3/30. Fine
 
Trading Shark and Ynoa (who might have been in the A's system for a decade) for Semien, Bassit and other. I guess.
 
Norris for Hahn and Alvarez was almost a steal. Three months ago....I said Norris cost the A's the wild car game and I meant it. A lot of people were blaming Lester and that's garbage. You could have a negative batting average as a catcher for all I care as long as you can play DEFENSE. I don't think the Royals even stole seven more bases in all their other playoffs games combined.
 
Back to the A's line up. They'll probably get another player or two now because they have too much pitching (they do) and money to use.

A team with a low payroll basically having a fire sale is big news, IMO. It also seems to go against the grain of the way the franchise has been built.
