    Joey Votto Contract. 12/$251m

    Your conclusion that the contract won't work out for the Reds is more than reasonable. Your logic to getting there is absurd and ignorant.

    Joey Votto Contract. 12/$251m

    You vault further and further up this board's idiocy rankings with each passing post.

    Future HOF Managers

    I don't have the first clue as to what the qualification standards tend to be but Cito Gaston has similar credentials to a lot of the names already listed (Back-toBack WS). And because voters tend to like this sort of thing, the fact that he was the first African-American to manage a team to a...

    MLB Spring Training Thread - 3/29

    Anthony Gose just walked, stole second, stole third, and then stole home on the catcher's throw back to the pitcher. He also stole a base earlier in the game. He is going to be a fantastically fun player to watch.

    Cubs Acquire BOGAERTS to Finalize Theo Compensation Deal!

    So the ****** Chris Carpenter was traded for the ****** Bogaerts. Kind of a fitting end to this whole ridiculous affair. (Though it was hilarious at first: "Castro! No, maybe Garza! No, maybe the Cubs take on Lackey and give up Jackson!")

    5 Boxes Leaf Golf

    lol, you really can't get much variety in a golf 'action' shot. I feel like I just looked at 20 scans of the same card.

    It's alive!

    Man, Gaudi would be proud. Initially, I thought this would be repulsive. But when they unveiled the uniforms and announced that the backstop is made of an effing fish tank, I became a fan. If you're going to be historically tacky, you need to go all in. And boy, did they.

    Ryan Madson Tommy John Surgery

    Oof. Brutal for the Reds. That was the best free agent signing of the winter, in my opinion.

    MLB Spring Training Thread - 3/20

    Roy Halladay vs. Brian Matusz If Matusz had retired one more batter last year, he and Halladay would hold the distinction of having the two highest ERAs in history for a season with at least 50 IP.

    He actually wasn't scheduled to go today. Everyone got pushed back a day over the weekend.

    2011 Draft- Two boxes- 3x more blue than red

    Held off buying any Draft until this past weekend when I had to hit the store for some supplies. Got a good deal on two boxes and glad I did. Hit 11 Refractors and the following: And the other Blue: Everything's available. Have never graded a card before but the Bauer looks perfect...

    Yadi Molina extension

    While both contracts look horrible right now I wouldn't hesitate in taking on Mauer's over ARod's. Rodriguez's deal is almost certainly the worst in baseball and has every possibility of looking even more horrifying at this point next year. It makes Vernon Wells's deal look like Longoria's.

    Weekly Pickup Thread (2/20 - 2/26)...

    Brett, What's that Schilling/Henderson from? Was there a full subset or something? Would love to acquire any of those depicting 92 or 93.

    Burnett deal complete: Pitt to pay $13MM of $33MM

    His wife is deathly afraid of flying so he pretty much has to play on the East coast.
