Players can be signed for up to $150,000 without it affecting an organization's overall bonus pool.  For any bonus above that mark, the overage beyond $150,000 counts toward the pool.

    • You mean Isaac was spelling his name wrong all this time?
    • Red Sox now 8 games behind us in the loss column. If we don’t overtake the Yankees for the AL East title we’d likely face the second best team in the AL Central in the WC series. 
    • Every team knows that it's likely lose rotation guys to injury during the course of a seaso. I'm sure many teams have techniques that assess the odds of each of their starters going down; I have no idea how extensive or reliable those data are. The problem of injuries to pitchers is present for everyone. You can't make it go away, and lots of teams are struggling with it, even the Yankees and Dodgers. There are choices that can affect make the consequences of those injuries. If you focus almost entirely on position players in acquiring young talent, and figure you'll fill your starting pitching needs largely by trades for and free agent signings of guys who are proven major leaguers, you'll be limited by roster limits and financial constraints as to how much pitching talent you will have on hand, and injuries to starters will expose you to real problems as you resort to fill-ins who lack the ability or maturity (or both) to get major leagers out.  There's a pro-active way to reduce the impact of the problems caused by those injuries: bring large numbers of talented pitching prospects into the orgainization, prinncipally by using the amateur draft (even some early picks) and signing international free agents, and develop those guys in the minor league system. Some of them, many of them, will wash out or get hurt (or be moved to the bullpen), but with effective coaching and good luck some will succeed at becoming starting pitchers as they progress through the system, and as when they get to AA and AAA some of them will be able to provide pitching depth to draw on when the ML starters get hurt.    
    • Shocked you are willing to wait that long.
    • KC won twice vs Cleveland 
    • No, Clay Holmes (Yankee closer) hit HK in the head.
