I'd be happy with either.

We aren't getting more OF though.

Yeah, I didn't mean "really?" like preferring Gordon was nuts, or anything.

Gordon came up with the Royals and the Royals seem to know something about evaluating talent.

In the end Cespedes showed decent numbers in Detroit, but there were streaks where he looked like a total donk. His huge success with the Mets came as a surprise to me, but as we all know, it didn't last to the end. His upside is huge, but there is a ton of variance.

I wouldn't know whom to pick, so I would flip a coin. Both of them a clearly better than Maybin or Collins, that's for sure.

On a sidenote: I think that the Yankees agreed to give us Wilson as some sort of compensation for Greene being such a disappointment. You never know when you need a favor, so you better keep your partner happy.

Illitch sounds like a man whos gonna spend some more money to me. Some quotes:

"I think I've proved that," Ilitch told reporters in response to a question about his willingness to spend money. "I've been in baseball for a lot of years. I don't care about spending money. They get the players. They spend and I don't worry about it."

"Well, I'm supposed to be a good boy and not go over," Ilitch said. "But if we're going to get certain players that will help us a lot, I'm going to go over it."

Ausmus though.

Tigers website is quite funny. First the front office signs Pelfrey and now they are asking how to help him.

G10 is perma'd (likely double secret perma this time), and Ikes is on his way too.

this thread had a helluva run.

I don't know what Greear did but the maximum penalty should be letting him back in on opening day. Come the **** on with this draconian bs. These ****ing green people have too much power.

I was thinking we take care of trump first...even tho saving Ikes from losing his life or death election bet is worth having only 1% of G10's passion back..

Aviles (age 34) signed, Lobster DFAed.

I'm sure teams will be lining up to claim the Lobstah

G10 will be back unless he was posting horse porn or something dumb. We need his game by game analysis to get the season started.

G10 and Pete Rose should get reinstated!

I agree with one of these

This thread will be dead by June 1st regardless

Lobster for cash. I thought Ilitch already had cash!

Finally rumors about trading Castellanos. I'd get rid of him in a hurry. There are lots of .255, 12 HR, more strikeouts than hits, zero speed guys around and most of them can even play their position.

Rax,

Will you be simulating the 2016 AL Central for us?

I just cant imagine anybody wanting to give up anything for this guy. Should of traded him when he was a overrated prospect.

Mods,

C'mon, just unban G10 for this thread. You know you want to..

I hope they focus the PED accusations on Zimmerman and Howard. Would be sad if J.D. gets mentioned. Don't forget that his comeback from getting released to MVP/AllStar was based on an "adjustment". Let's stick to that!

Here is the proof of his innocence:
A - Androstatrienedione (ATD)
D - Desoxy-methyltestosterone
J - JWH 018
U - ????
S - Sermorelin
T - Tesamorelin
M - Methandienone
E - Epitestosterone
N - Norethandrolone
T - Thymosin Beta 4 (TB-500)

There is no banned substance starting with U!
I am not making this up! Here is the list: http://list.wada-ama.org/by-substance/

Thread needs greeeeear.

Feliz signs with Pittsburgh, won't be missed.

If I ruled the world I'm virtually positive I'd be an extremely vicious dictator. Whoever got greear would totally get got just like the people who forgot to put cheese and tartar sauce on my fish sandwich yesterday.

So it was just fish and bun?

Sounds amazing.
