Nice. Wonder how many of those years he will be a catcher.

 

[Blearth]

Giants and Buster Posey have agreed on a 9-year, $167 million extension.

That is way more than I expected. God damn.

At least we're using all this World Series money to lock up our World Series Champion players.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I love the Posey deal. Great deal, especially if they convert him to 1B halfway through the deal. The Verlander one kind of scares me.

Then we have to move belt to OF :/

There were some random talk of having belt and 1st and Posey at 3rd then maybe moving Pablo if he doesnt shape up sometime soon.

 

[Zep]

Ill be down for a gm later, wats ur psn?

BigZep

edit: Damn at that Verlander deal. I'm 26...With what pitchers are getting, I don't think its too late to see what kind of juice my arm still has.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Posey's deal also contains a full no-trade clause.

Posey's deal completely blows away the previous record deal for a player with less than 3.000 MLB service time. The previous record was Carlos Gonzalez's 7-year, $80 million deal with the Rockies.

 

[Lambtron]

The Blue Jays claimed Alex Burnett on waivers. Thank Christ. Now the Twins need to find someone to give them a couple of nice bats for Drew Butera.

 

[Meier]

Holy shit at that Buster extension. :O Couldn't have happened to a better guy. The best in the biz.

 

[Dominican Power]

Buster is gonna bust.

 

[CygnusXS]

Where's my goddamn Heyward extension???

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Where's my goddamn Heyward extension???

Liberty Media says "lol".

 

[Doogdogg]

hey Youk, this isn't 2008-2010 anymore

 

[Heart Attack]

Great move Giants. Posey is great, i think the contract is worth his best years.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ned is waiting, Clayton.

 

[Square Triangle]

Even as a Detroit diehard, MLB writers ranking Cabrera at the leagues best player is beyond laughable.

But he hits so many dingers.

Grrrrrrrrr

ETA: Atlanta Braves "Beasts Of The East" Music Video - I don't hate this as much as I think I should.

 

[Parch]

Ryu looked good tonight.

The guy is old school. Show up to camp fat and out of shape and looking like a bust, then getting his shit together in time for the regular season.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Woooow. Posey's contract was well earned.

 

[Parch]

The Blue Jays claimed Alex Burnett on waivers.

The Blue Jay bullpen is scary. So many question marks and Lincoln already hurting.

What's the rumors on Valverde? Are the Jays a consideration?

The Asian David Wells.

Can't wait to see how fat he reports in for next years camp.

So Posey is our new Joe Morgan? I look forward to his inane rambling in 40 years.

Jeremy Jeffress making the bigs?

 

[Fenix]

Jeremy Jeffress making the bigs?

Until April 6th at least.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Jon Miller will no doubt still be alive by then, so he should be looking forward to returning to ESPN in 2053.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Miguel Tejada made the Royals. Give them the trophy now, Selig.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Nice. Wonder how many of those years he will be a catcher.

Giants should move him to first now to cover themselves

 

[Gannd]

Anyone want to join a fantasy baseball league? I got a free deal with my MLB.tv subscription and I might as well use it.

 

[rekameohs]

Wonder what Posey's contract would be if the Scott Cousins collision never happened.

EDIT: Yay, Goldschmidt!

 

[Lambtron]

The Blue Jay bullpen is scary.

You'll be pretty scared when he comes in to attempt to hold a lead.

 

[Meier]

I see it hasn't been posted here.. just in case anyone is interested. Man City will take on Chelsea a few days after the end of the Premier League ends at Busch Stadium.

City will cross the Atlantic at the end of May to take on Chelsea at the famous Busch Stadium in St Louis.

It will be the first-ever international football match to take place at Iconic 46,861 capacity stadium in Missouri and marks a rare opportunity for the Blues to play in front of the growing, passionate fan base in the States.

The 2012-13 Premier League champions will take on the 2012-13 Champions of Europe on Thursday, May 23rd at 7.30pm CST.

“For two days in May our baseball heaven will be transformed into an international soccer haven,” commented Bill DeWitt III, President of the St Louis Cardinals who are proud to call Busch Stadium home.

Tickets start at $30 and go on sale April 2 at 10AM CST at Cardinals.com/Soccer or the Busch Stadium Box Office.

There will be a limit of 8 tickets per purchase.

Burnett was sent to AAA.

 

[Blearth]

I predict at least five more championships by the time the contract is over.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

FUCK YES. So excited!

I had my first draft for fantasy baseball last night. My team isn't very good lol.

 

[rando14]

Holy shart at the Verlander and Posey contracts.

 

[BigJonsson]

Jays gonna crush the Phillies tonight

 

[Fenix]

Rajai Davis DHing tonight instead of Lind, versus LHP. More of this please.

Baseball at the bank.

Saw this absolutely mind blowing nugget on Twitter:

On Thursday, Roberto Hernandez will end Rays streak of 1,693 games without using a SP signed as major league free agent (Wilson Alvarez, 7/12/02)


Hopefully Fausto Roberto can be this years Rodney.

 

[Malo]

Holy shit at that Posey extension.

 

[acheron_xl]

Diamondbacks and Paul Goldschmidt agree on a 5-year, $32 million extension.

This is a goddamned steal. He'll outearn that with ease.

Roberto Hernandez had one fluke year with the Indians. The Rays will release him by May.

Yeah Young is looking so good so far this ST. Hopefully he can keep it up once the season starts.

 

[jakncoke]

So close to the start of the 21st straight sub .500 campaign!

 

[darkside31337]

Roberto Hernandez had one fluke year with the Indians. The Rays will release him by May.

2010 - 3.77 ERA / 4.11 FIP

If the Rays get something near that out of him then he'll be around for a while.

Personally I don't think he's long for the rotation anyway - he will get moved to the bullpen if they can't figure out whats going on with Niemann and his velocity and Archer will be back in the bigs sooner rather than later.

 

[JABEE]

They don't sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in Chicago anymore?

 

[rinse82]

Buerhle dealin

 

[Fenix]

This game is going by too slowly, I demand someone speed it up.
