Cuddyer is a great role player who will give some offense, but holy ____. $10 million a year?

Yup, the Twins offered 3-years at $24 million.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

And Cuddyer signs with your Rockies for 3-years, $30 million.

On a side note, what the hell went down in Cincy? Padres are the clear winner of that trade.

who knows...they blew up the outfield last year so alonzo could play & now the reds trade him off

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Damn solid player that Rollins is.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Looks like Twins OF Jason Kubel signs with Arizona, 2 years-$15 million according to Espn 1500 Twin Cities.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Carlos Beltran and St. Louis Cardinals agree on 2-year, $26 million deal.

From Espn.com......

"The 34-year-old Beltran batted .300 with 22 home runs, 84 RBIs and a .385 on-base percentage for the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants this pastyear. He likely will be the Opening Day right fielder for the Cardinals next season. Lance Berkman is expected to move to first base, taking Pujols' spot."

which means Giants management better try and sign Fielder. I'm tired of seeing their sorry excuse for an offense .

How long more is Barry Zito on your books for?

 

[azurepred]

no clue, can't be that much longer, I knew that was a bad idea when it first happened; one pitcher is never worth that kind of money. They get Posey back, so that helps, but I wish they would've resigned Beltran. Another consistant power hitter is a must for this team.

Just looked it up and YIKES!

For you Cincinnati Reds fans....

"Barry Larkin elected to Hall of Fame"

[ProgMatinee]

Larkin was awesome. I hated the 1990 Reds that defeated the A's at the time when I was 13 but I learned to respect that team and of course eventually came to realize they were the good guys and the A's were a bunch of roided out freaks led by a alchoholic ******.

finally....if he wasn't such an Ahole, he would've been in years ago

 

[Grenouille]

No team with Paul O'Neill playing for and Marge Schott owning can be anything other than evil.

However, the A's beat the Red Sox in the ALCS that year so I was a temporary Reds fan.

Do you remember the theme for that team?

"The Hunt for Red October"......same time the movie came out.

How could anyone not like a team with Chris Sabo on it?

Boy, Marge Schott with her nazi leanings. Just an all around bad person.
