Hanley wants an extension

5/75. Club option for two more. 1 mil buy out for each.

 

Recent reports have been very positive about Seager being able to stick at SS.

 

One of my buddies sees Loon games and has said his range is much better than what people were originally saying, compared him to Tulo. Don't know how accurate that would be since I haven't seen him live.

 

Drool....

 

I really hope so.I would love to see SS become an offensive position again

 

Approve roids.

 

Funny thing is I do approve the use of steroids in baseball, mainly bc there's no proof that they even help you on the field

 

And actually there's more solid evidence suggesting they hurt u more as a ballplayer than help

 

Hanley, we'll pay you the big bucks if you spend the winter learning to play LF. Think of it! No SS, no 3B. HA HA HA! And once he's out of the IF, the team can put together a good defensive team. Spend that Gugg money on infielders!

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the apparent OF surplus - both Hanley and CC would never be healthy at the same time anyway. It's more likely they are both on the DL and we must play one of Ned's scrubs out there for an unbelievably long period of time. That's the way it works.

 

Hanley to.right field, puig to shortstop!!....no seriously....think about how far.he'd have to run before running into a wall

 

Good thinking. And if Puig played SS we wouldn't even need a LF'er. :thumbsup:

 

I won't even entertain that argument. My god.

 

Google search dude.there's not a single scientist or doctor even that will tell you that they will help a baseball player ON THE FIELD.for starters, you get bigger therefore it slows your swing down, second major thing is steroids are known to cause damage to your eyes.as we all known baseball.is 99% hand eye.coordination

LOL, well I heard you the 1st time, no need for 3.

And no I'm not googling shit! If you can't accept the truth it helps you in any sport, that's your shortcoming. There's a reason anti-doping rules apply in all major sports like the Olympics and Cycling as well as baseball and football. And if you think it "makes you bigger" then you really have no clue what PEDs do. Was Lance Armstrong "big"? How about Guillermo Mota? And many others I'd say should be under suspicion but because they weren't muscle men, they escape suspicion...like, Pedro Martinez, Luis Gonzalez, Nomar Garciaparra, Brady Anderson, & Steve Finley.

How about the older players that careers suddenly re-bloomed and suddenly got better past their primes when the "roid era" began...like Tony Gwynn, Kirby Puckett, Cal Ripken?

How about testimony from an admitted user like Canseco? I know he says it "helped" him. Don't just ignore what he says because he's made money off of it. It's still the obvious truth.

I'm not sure how long you've watched baseball, but I've seen it long before the PEDs rose to power and during, and now mostly after....the difference in the players is really VERY obvious to me...both in appearance and play.

Ken Caminiti went from a below average power hitter (17HRs) to a premier power hitter MVP type(40 HRs) because of PED usage...and then died. An admitted user.

My final point would be if it doesn't help you, PLEASE explain why the in the world proven users like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, ARod, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzales, David Ortiz, Andy Pettitte, and Jose Canseco all used them in the first place? Also, is it a coincidence that all of the above had nearly HoF worthy careers or better?

If they didn't help "ON THE FIELD" , no one would use them and no sport would ban them. It's that simple. I cannot believe I've had to post this to anyone.

LOL, Google it dude!

 

Fordie covered it all and did a great job --but I will mention how the above statement moronic this sounds. For many players roids speeds up their swing. That is why not all of them are HR hitters but suddenly acquire gap to gap power. They are able to get in faster and put the ball where they need it. Fordie mentioned those that have been caught. What about those that were flash in the pans? Glaus, Mathews Jr, and Guillen were not perennial allstars. They had their moments and soon disappeared. Now, think about the contracts that each signed and how it effected their signing teams. Roids reminds me of the old Memorex commercials. Is it real or is it Memorex? Same with roids. Thanks to a bunch of assholes wanting to elevate their stats to acquire a bigger contract, players that work their asses off are always questioned about the validity of their body of work.

Further, is it ever really a fair game? Suggesting that a pitcher who throws 4 mph faster does not suddenly have an advantage of over a non using hitter is ridiculous. The contrary works the same. If a hitter is roiding and is able to get inside faster, the pitcher loses both sides of the plate and the advantage goes to the hitter.

Your next comment will be that they should all use roids. Wrong. Not only do roids give an advantage, they are extremely dangerous. We already have coaches asking 16 year olds to throw sliders and helping to ensure they never get past AA. Do you really trust those coaches not to encourage their players to get bulked up or use them to get to the ball faster? Please.

Finally, it is a fucking game. It is meant to be fair. It is meant to show how the best in the world compete against each other.
