    Good luck to the Yanks getting rid of Ellsbury. Never understood the signing considering they had him in Gardner.

      Last year they could of sold him because so many teams were desperate for outfielders. The only team I can think of is maybe the dodgers

    The Cubs Den lost its founder John Arguello tonight after a battle with cancer. He started a well informed blog & stressed the importance of appropriate discord in the comments, something rarely seen these days. He will be greatly missed

    I hated the Miley for Miranda trade at first, as he didn’t seem any better, but now I can definitely say that without him we would be in a way worst position than we are now. And it’s one of the few good trades Dipoto has made.

    This Kevin McKeon character knows very little….Madison was traded to Nats….not with the A’s anymore….Darvish and Gomez worth way more than blister Hill and Gutierrez….Giants will not go after Bautista….the Dbacks will not give up rising star Ray and solid CF Pollock for Upton and Verlander….he must be a troll…..lol

      Well I can’t respond to any other off your predictions but there is no way the Red Sox trade for Lucroy. It doesn’t even make sense the Red Sox have no issues at catcher.

    The dude from the “The Point of Pittsburgh” has some real anger and mental issues. The article above certainly illustrates that, but…

    Maybe the best thing I ever read on the internet was a “TPOP” blog about, excuse me, screed against Pirate GM, Neil Huntingdon, for NOT reading the TPOP blog and following the blueprint the blogger laid out in his blog on how to make the Pirates a winner.

    He laid it all out there step by step and stupid NH couldn’t even bother to do it.

    I read to a certain point when it finally clicked in my head “holy….this guy is serious.”
