David regarding Madsen
Interesting Bullpen, the Phillies have
Lidge 1.5 Buyout option of a 12.5 contract see ya
Madson – Free Agent
Jose Contreras only 2.5 Million, was great before arm trouble this summer.
Antonio Bastardo seemed to do a decent job for the minimum.
Broxton just might be a great fit for them, helping out Jose and Antonio.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Prediction:
1. They sign Broxton
2. Broxton is OK but not perfect and blows the occasional lead
3. The Phillies disappoint, mostly for reasons that do not involve Broxton
4. Everybody blames Broxton

I will only sign off on this if the Dodgers sign Free Agent Matt Stairs to be our pinch hitter and he hits a decisive home run off of Broxton after he walked AJ Ellis on four pitches in the NLCS

Because he got fat.

And agreed to be in the ESPN documentary “Catching Hell”
Hard to believe he was one of the only guys to speak on the video.
Karros was the starting 1B for the 2003 Cubs, I guess it’s not too far fetched. He was on the field when it happened
I get that.
Just shocked that they picked him. A guy that was there for 1 year.
Maybe he was the only one that agreed to talk because he likes to hear his own voice…
Looking back at that team, Mark Prior had a 4.90 K:BB ratio. That’s more than double what is considered ‘good’. Good lord was that guy good.
Yeah. Didn’t like that they let him talk about dropping his pants for 5 minutes.
I get why he was there for the broadcasters perspective, but I didn’t see the need to talk about Lyons being an idiot.
He is also well-spoken and recognizable. Many of his teammates wouldn’t fit that criteria, and others may have declined.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."

Following up on the Aaron Curry trade, the Raiders will give Seahawks a 7th rounder in 2012 & conditional mid-rounder in 2013.
jeez thats nothing. What a bust.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Seeing as how Curry doesn’t know how to tackle I think the Seahawks win this trade.
I bought into all the hype surrounding him prior to him being drafted and thought he’d end up being real good. I was just a little off….
He did look great at the combine though so he will fit right in on the Raiders!
If you got a draft pick and your choice was Michael Young or Ray Durham, knowing full well how each would do in their careers, who do you choose?
Am I allowed to keep Young off shortstop? If not, Durham.

Brandon Phillips has a lower career OPS+ than Todd Walker. Wow.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
Todd Walker got kinda hosed because people focused on what he couldn’t do (catch the ball) too much.

Both Young and Durham were picked in the 5th round
Young in 1997 out of Cal and Durham in 1990 out of high school. (Bret Boone was selected two picks after Durham).
2nd baseman who turned to crap so quick:
Chuck Knoblauch

Andre Ethier currently has the same career OPS+ as Kirk Gibson and Roy Campanella.
James Loney currently has the same career OPS+ as Tommy Davis and Henry Rodriguez.

Beltre’s Terrible 1st half, went off in Sept.
Beltre and Loney one year removed from Free Agency

We got out around noon and put all the crabs into a waterbasket, then we both took a nap dreaming of crab dinner. While we were napping both our wifes took all the crabs and put them back into Sound.

It could happen anywhere - in the nice community of Seal Beach
SEAL BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Southern California authorities say nine people have been shot at a hair salon in the city of Seal Beach.
Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Marc Stone tells KCAL-TV that the victims’ conditions are undetermined but some are being taken to a hospital.
The shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon in a cluster of small businesses on Pacific Coast Highway in the community southeast of Los Angeles.
More info from LA Times - Unfortunately 6 believed killed
Orange County authorities were responding to a shooting at a salon in Seal Beach on Wednesday, with reports of seven potential victims. A source familiar with the investigation said six people were believed dead.
The shooting occurred at Salon Meritage, a beauty salon in the 500 block of Pacific Coast Highway, workers in the shopping center said.
A suspect is in custody, according to a Seal Beach police official. The entire department is responding to the scene.

This may be a stretch for someone with 2 MVP awards, but wasn’t Frank Robinson sort of under the radar, i.e. not on the Mays/Aaron level during his playing career?
The reason I ask is I always think of Frank Robinson when I think of Miguel Cabrera. Like, this guy is really, really, ridiculously great, and flies relatively under the radar.
I’d lump Aaron in the underrated category. He wasn’t the icon of Mays & Mantle until late in his career, amirite?

A California man arrested for throwing a hot dog at Tiger Woods during a tournament said he wanted to do something “courageous and epic.”
.
Brandon Kelly of Petaluma told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat on Tuesday that he’s a fan of Woods and got the idea after watching “Drive” – a recently released movie starring Ryan Gosling as a stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver.
.
“I threw the hot dog toward Tiger Woods because I was inspired by the movie `Drive,’” Kelly said. “As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, `I have to do something courageous and epic. I have to throw a hot dog on the green in front of Tiger.’”
A real reporter

This sounds awesome
Alex Castellanos, 25, OF, 10th-round pick in 2008 by St. Louis: Acquired in the Rafael Furcal trade, Castellanos is already off to a hot start, with three homers in seven games. Mattingly said Castellanos might be tried at second base after playing primarily in right field, although he started his pro career as an infielder. As a hitter, his 23 homers and 102 runs scored this year have management intrigued. He was the Texas League runner-up in batting (.319) and slugging (.562).
Castle’s bat at second? UM, YES PLEASE.
Dodgers should put all their bats at the tougher defensive positions and see if they can generate a prospect.
I’d even go Van Slyke at 3b

They absolutely should give it a shot. It is precisely the kind of thing teams should do. If there’s any chance at all that he could succeed as a middle infielder, what do they have to lose? Would moving him really have all that much effect on the development of his bat? And even if it does, is Castellanos’s bat so special that it has to be protected?
That said, it probably won’t work, but that doesn’t really matter. They should try it.

But catchers aren’t supposed to be breaking strikeout records in the majors two years after throwing their first pitch, if you know what I mean. If you think Castellanos isn’t gonna be much anyway, why not try him at 2B? What do they have to lose?

Can anyone at all help?
