    D-Backs Determined To Leave Orlando With Choo Or Trumbo

    His splits are horrid. That is another level of high concern for me. Benefit of Trumbo is he is younger and on a cheaper, more team control contract. His OBP is atrocious though and he seems the consummate hit or miss player. Not to say his OBP can't improve with coaching, but I am not too...

    Shin-Soo Choo - CF - any interest

    He has three more arbitration years available and is a free agent in 2017. Made $540 k in 2013. To me, that as much as anything is his biggest value. He's moderately cheap and under contract for another three years. I also agree with your assessment that he is likely a 3. His OBP is pretty...

    D-Backs Determined To Leave Orlando With Choo Or Trumbo

    I am a well documented OBP junkie and Choo is one of the best in baseball in that statistical category. I also like how they will be giving up zero prospects or players for him. The money is a bit high and the 7 years isn't too favorable but I also know he was one of the better free agents on...

    Shin-Soo Choo - CF - any interest

    Skaggs and Cahill is Los Angeles' asking price for Trumbo. Is it worth it in everyone's opinion?

    Beltran

    I am on the fence about trading prospects. I'm not married to any of them if the right offer comes along. Case in point, if Chicago calls and offers Chris Sale, there isn't a prospect in the system I would be reluctant to trade; and I include Bradley in that mix. If you can get a young, All Star...

    Petersen leaving Boise State for Washington

    I wonder... Did Peterson really turn down USC or play the girlfriend about to be dumped who beat you to the punch? Either way, nice coup for Washington. While I think Sark did a fine job there (he inherited a real dumpster fire when he took over and molded the program nicely), I think both they...

    2014 D'Backs Offseason

    Strictly thinking aloud here, but I can't help but wonder if the near deal for Céspedes was just the beginning of talks for him and if something won't be done before long. God knows, it seems like Oakland and Arizona make a deal every off-season.

    Beltran

    Glad Beltran decided to go with the Yankees instead. He's still playing well, but at 37 he is in a race against time. Three years is too risky. Not crazy about Trumbo. His OPS and OBP are horrid. He's the definition of hit or miss. If they are going that avenue, they're better off saving...

    Rumored/Projected Buffalo Wild Wings/Fiesta Bowl matchups

    Looks like its gonna be Baylor vs. Central Florida in the Fiesta.

    Mariners land Cano

    Me too. Sprinkle in re-signing your own when the chance is there and filling in the blanks with low risk free agent signings.

    Mariners land Cano

    Handing out a ten year deal to a 31 year old is lunacy. You would think these teams have learned. This keeping up with the Joneses crap cripples teams.

    Mariners land Cano

    Now that this is completed, its my high speculation the M's are going to throw an offer Tampa likely can't refuse for Price.

    Mariners land Cano

    Reportedly the deal is worth 10 years at 240 million dollars.

    Reds-Rays-Diamondbacks pull three team trade

    I also like how he essentially said he's not trading Bradley, which should put everyone's minds at ease. Agree too, gonna have to give something of value to get something.

    Reds-Rays-Diamondbacks pull three team trade

    Two interesting points in there.

    D-Backs Looking To Trade Market For Ace, Power Bats By Steve Adams [December 4 at 3:30pm CST] 3:30pm:*The Diamondbacks may also be looking to the trade market for power bats, according to a recent series of tweets from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal reports that the D-Backs and A's...

    Saban to Texas?

    Truth be told, I'll believe Saban is leaving Alabama when he is having a press conference in Austin.

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    I also know he's trying to rehabilitate his "mercenary for hire" image, which he wrongfully is being slapped with following the Pitt fiasco. The reality is, Pitt and Todd Graham were the consummate case of a rushed marriage of convenience that never should have happened for either side. Pitt...

    Saban to Texas?

    Rumor is, he's expected to announce his retirement after the Baylor game. Whether its a forced one or he's doing so due to the long talked about burnout is to be known. Also hearing all sorts of other "just in case" names bantered with for the job. Everyone from Mike Tomlin and the Harbaugha...

    Rumored/Projected Buffalo Wild Wings/Fiesta Bowl matchups

    I could see either. I think (that and two cents buys you a coffee at Circle K but I digress), the B Dubs Bowl picks Nebraska due to the strong fan following they have here but I have been wrong before.

    Sarkasian New USC HC

    Now that Mora has decided to stay at UCLA, rumored top candidates for the job are James Franklin, Tim DeRuyter, Jim McElwain, Justin Wilcox (who is supposed to be following Sark to USC, but that changes if he gets the Washington HC gig) and Doug Nussmeier. Reportedly, Gary Pinkel is refusing to...

    Sarkasian New USC HC

    Saying Sarkasian was mediocre at Washington is under selling how well he really did there. The Huskies were in bad shape before he took over. He restored them to respectability and pretty quickly, also putting them in better shape long term than they were in when he took over.

    Rumored/Projected Buffalo Wild Wings/Fiesta Bowl matchups

    For the Fiesta, the rumor of Oklahoma State/Baylor/Texas (if the Horns beat Baylor and Oklahoma beats OSU) vs. Northern Illinois (should the win out) won't go away and Texas vs. Nebraska looms. Anyone else hearing otherwise?

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    Regarding the questions of Graham's tenure time here, there are only really two jobs I'd be concerned woth him leaving for... Texas (which isn't happening) and Oklahoma. I think he is here for the long run to be honest.

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    His wife was reportedly house hunting in Austin a few weeks back. Seems pretty close to done to me.
