So 2013 outlook for the cards...

So Berkman definitely won't be back, I get that he's older, but he's got a great bat and he's no worse an outfielder than Holliday...but it's the NL so jomo is right, there's not really any room. Lohse is sort of signable. I think the cards would offer him 3yrs/$45mil max. A lot of people in St. Louis have been waiting a long time for him to pitch the way he did this year...unfortunately he waited until UFA. Rosenthal, Lynn, Kelly, and miller can't continue to make $480,000 a year, so hopefully those guys pan out, but I don't know how good those guys actually are. Rosenthal is definitely my favorite out of that bunch. Plus, carp and wainwright get a full offseason

I still love the line-up. I might actually put it like this

1 furcal
2 jay
3 Beltran
4 Craig
5 Holliday
6 Molina
7 freese
8 descalso
9 carpenter

That might change after I get a better look at the UFA list. With so many bats, freese or descalso can be sacrificed for some fucking defense.

hmph, looks like no Giant was in the running for a Gold Glove this year. Maybe we have an underrated offense??

Your offense was actually pretty damn good this year.

true, I actually remember the Giants having the best hitting outfield in the national league before Melky got suspended for bad web design

Takeya Nakamura is a Japanese baseball player, an infielder with some nice pop in his bat. Anyway he comes in at 5'9 225, and his nickname is "Okawari-kun," which apparently means "seconds" or "another helping" :lol:

Marlins Trade Entire Team to Blue Jays for Yunel Escobar

first thought: what in the actual fuck is this

second thought: oh man it sure is surprising that the Florida Marlins would stage a fire sale!

Joke's on you Florida taxpayer! Don't forget though they get Jeff Mathis too!

Pretty infuriating. Everything they did with the stadium, essentially lying about how much they're making to, for all intents and purposes, steal a half a billion dollars from Miami is disgusting...the ridiculous way the Reyes contract and especially the buehrle were backloaded (not normal back loading)...it's a giant fucking hoodwink. USA today put it best when they called the marlins a ponzi scheme

Not at all surprised, sucks for Trout. I saw some idiot gave Trout a fucking third place vote and voted Beltre second. I love Beltre and he was fantastic this year but come on.

I mean, i wasn't floored that Cabrera won...he had a fantastic year...but the fact that it wasn't even close baffles me.
