Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

[Redskins Rick]

I don't know about "super". I think Bobby Grich probably qualifies, though.

Good point about Bobby Grich.

I think I remember reading a while back, that super is used, when a player is able to play more than 3 positions as a backup.

And how can we forget Lennie Sakata?

[25 Nuggets]

Sounds like just about every other ML UTIF.

Hey now, some ML UTIFs can't hit a few homeruns like Flaherty

[OFFNY]

Trade Ryan Flaherty

For what? A can of Pepsi?

Don't even think about it.

Maybe that means they convinced PA to quit CD and move on to Upton/Cespedes?

His peripherals were not good last year and he lost some velocity on his fastball. I would rather give that money to Matt Latos.

All your answers are here

So what happened to him last season? Still ended up with a 4.19 ERA, but mostly bullpen the last handful of appearances. And is that $22 AAV or total? If it's total, I'm all over that.

[MurphDogg]

Thanks. Oof.. 86mph?

Yeah, I don't know why he would be looking for a two-year deal after falling completely off a cliff like that. Unless he knows he won't get any better.

Hard to bounce back from 86.

Unless you see a "guru" like Colon and Kazmir did.

Exactly. That's why I don't see a two-year deal happening.

Yikes. I was thinking 1/5, with incentives.
