Matthew Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 L.A. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he asked the team last fall to pick up his contract option for next season, but the team refused. New owners want to see what happens this year, probably get their own guy in there. I think I'm in the minority, but I've never been impressed with Danny Baseball as a manager, he's ruined Andre Ethier to my mind. Amazing how the whole "Mattingly played me when I was injured and never thought twice about it" thing was brushed under the carpet. Quote
Brad Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Maybe this was mentioned before, but who is the BoSox manager for this season? John Farrell, their ex pitching coach. Ummm, aren't you forgetting his time with the Blue Jays, the only managing experience he has? Or does only BoSox time count? Not at all. I was just referring to the fact that he had been the BoSox ex-pitching coach. No slight intended. Quote

Matthew Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Braves get Justin Upton. I might be in the minority, but I really like J. Upton, has a high upside IMHO, and I think Atlanta will be good for his career. Braves now have a very nice outfield, J. Upton, BJ Upton, and Jason Heyward, very nice indeed. Quote

Matthew Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Without checking: Are the two Uptons related? Brothers. I've always liked Justin Upton for some reason, think he as a ton of talent, good outfielder, I felt that the D'Backs asked him to do too much at the plate. Now in Atlanta, I see him having a great year. Braves are going to be a dangerous team. Edited January 24, 2013 by Matthew Quote

Atlanta is stacked as are the Nats. The only thing that works in everyone else's favor is that one of those two teams is going to have to play a one game playoff. And we all remember what happened last year. Quote
Tim McG Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 True dat. We shall see what happens, I guess....but my money is on the Nats. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on Friday that there is a chance Alex Rodriguez could miss the entire 2013 season after undergoing hip surgery. The Yankees currently plan on having Rodriguez back after the All-Star break. Quote

He must have know no matter when he had it, it was going to be a lost season. Quote

He must have know no matter when he had it, it was going to be a lost season. He waited to have the surgery in order to reduce his recovery time. By strengthening the area around the hip his recovery after surgery would be lessened. I saw a story about it in the NY Daily News and IIRC it has also been reported in other outlets. Quote

I always believed he was still on PEDs. When you look at who is getting suspended for PED use, it's amazing how often the road leads back to people and doctors connected with ARod. I would love to see the Yankees try at some point to get his contract declared void. Edited January 29, 2013 by Matthew Quote

Brad Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Arod has hired a big time attorney (Roy Black) and has denied it. So has Gio. I think you can wave bye bye anyway to the Hall. The Yankees statement wasn't supportive of Arod. They'd like to figure out anyway they can to avoid paying him. Quote
JSngry Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Very sad to see Nelson Cruz mentioned in the Biogenesis report. Quote
