The good news is he won't hit 10 homers against us like he usually does.

They are linked as being very interested in Tanaka, but how the Hell can they STILL have money to pay him? Kershaw will get a monster extension soon (250M+), all the players they acquired in various trades the past few years, Greinke signing, Ryu signing, they signed Haren for 13M this season. They are making the 90s Yankees look like penny pinchers.

Choo and/or Tanaka? Rangers got some serious yellow fever.

I think Yankees will just say screw that 188M number and go over. If Arod gets suspended doesn't their payroll go down drastically?

I think Tanaka gets 100M. Someone will overpay. Mariners? 6/90? 7/105?

Angels, Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers, Diamondbacks are who I can think of off the top of my head. Then you got lurker candidates like the Royals, Mariners, Astros. Once Tanaka is signed the dominos for pitching will fall. That's what's holding up Garza.

According to Sanspo.com, Rakuten Golden Eagles owner Hiroshi Mikitani will allow Masahiro Tanaka to be posted this offseason. Let the games begin.

That's exactly what he did...

Makes sense. Taijuan Walker/Nick Franklin/etc for Price.

Drabek sucks as well.

They should look at our attendance after the Pujols signing.

He would beast on a team like the A's or Padres with a real pitching coach.

I guess u are missing defensive metrics as well. This isn't a fantasy team.

I say sign Colon just so he doesn't face the Angels and shut them out 5 times during the season.

Just reading a lot of the threads, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Cano would be a "trainwreck" and a negative gain for the Mariners if he signed there. All the "We are signing Cano and doomed" threads, the "Yankees will resign Cano and he will suck!" and "I hope the M's sign Cano so he can fail!" Exactly why is everyone predicting a Hamilton-esque decline from Cano? He is a pretty solid hitter and a gold glove type 2B. Am I missing something here? Of course he isn't worth a 10 year contract (not many players are), but if a team like Seattle signs him to a 5 year deal, I don't see why he would turn into a lemon.

I'm gonna call him DiPoto. I know it's spelled Dipoto but he really doesn't deserve the proper spelling. Fire DiPoto.

It's safe to say the honeymoon with Dipoto is over?

I wish Koji Uehara would blow the save in Game 7. Really dislike that mofo. Also Boston seems to go to the well so often by using him for 5 out saves would be great if he blew one and made the monotone generic manager John Farrell look bad.

Must be hard for STL having to use 2 pitchers spot.

Nah you guys are missing my point. I know PEDs are there and guys cheat the system. I'm not butthurt about the Red Sox in the WS.What I'm asking is why is Ortiz treated differently than other users/suspected users. I just find it hypocritical that Sox fans can be offended by Arod or Peralta playing when they supported Manny and support Ortiz.

His stats on the Twins say otherwise

Cheater Ortiz

Nobody seems to mention him ever. It's blatantly obvious. Is it because he's a "good guy"?

Well not exactly but the Hamilton Head & Shoulders commercial just came on.
