McCourt agreeing to sell, the Marlins raising payroll, the Pirates contending for a portion of a season (beyond the first week)…hell truly has frozen over.

I wouldn’t say “Hell has frozen over,” but rather, “Thank goodness, because baseball just got that much better.” I love that all these exciting things are happening. Everyone secretly roots for the Pirates to get out of their basement-dwelling slump… Or am I alone in that?
rickjimbo
I fully agree with you sir, especially the part about loving seeing the Pirates start to compete.

These is nothing to say because this is nothing new…

No way Pujols goes to any of these teams have a possibility of making the playoffs. Sure Pujols will want his money but he wants the money for a championship-caliber team. That means I would eliminate the Cubs, Marlins, and any other team that not only needs a bat but also need various other big pieces to fill out the team.

All of the Pujols stuff and the Marlins came from a couple stupid comments. When people asked the FO of the Marlins about signing him they said “you have to at least try.” Then a while ago they asked Pujols about Miami and he said he likes the area. There is a what, 1% chance he signs here? And thats being generous. As much as i would love to have him – they could do nothing else but add him. We need SP,RP, CF, 3B…so yeah.
crazy thing is many places are saying the Marlins are the landing spot for K-Rod, Edwin jackson, Sizemore, and Reyes. Even if that did happen, still leaves the starting staff exposed. Anibal Sanchez is a legit number three who can pitch like an ace sometimes – JJ when healthy is one of the elite aces. Nolasco is the biggest underachiever ever, Volstad is a waste of height, and the once good looking West and Sanabia dont look so great. And Edwin Jackson is also a big underachiever. The only hope to getting Reyes is i think the team loves the idea off H2R not being at SS anymore, and him going to 3B solves our third problem for a while – then we can see Dominguez (who would want him though….all glove.)

Vasquez had a crazy season last year. The first half was probably the worst he had pitched in his career and the second finished amazingly.
