Yeah Funny Bone gets some bigger names but I think it gets avoided as well. I think I can get in there but I would guess there is a minor fee as I believe they have a drink minimum. Just wish we had a nationally recognized comedy venue.

Did anyone get anything from that Musial estate auction?

I was going to take a shot at the GU bat but spaced it until about an hour after it closed. Went for way less than I would have expected :/

So what did it go for then?

Ryan Jackson has been freed. Astros took him off waivers. It's a shame he never got a real shot

Was thinking the same thing.Thought he deserved a better chance.Looks like Andrus staying put too.

Just under $4200 with buyers premium.

ESPN says team close to deal with Peralta.Anyone like Freese trade?Hate to see him go, but sure will be nice to see Jay not starting anymore.

Peralta on board.rookieaddict called it.Most fans don't seem happy though.I would rather have him than give up 4 players for Andrus.

I'm good with it. Seems like we spent less than we would have on Drew, and keep the draft pick. Plus Peralta can play multiple positions of need be. The PED thing isn't a hang up for me, he messed up; paid the price and actually performed better after coming back from the suspension.

Agreed.Lots of hate and ignorance on BO though.Probably the best value out there though at that position.

I would have like to see Brenden Ryan back in the birds uniform. Best defensive shortstop in the game.

We're replacing Kozma because of the bat not the glove

Brenden Ryan has a better glove than everyone else. In my opinion. When I watch Kozma I don't think he is a good defensive player. He has a weak arm and lazy feet in my opinion.

Ryan probably did 3 years ago, however he's hit under .200 a couple times; topped out at .220 last year and has 187 rbis over a 7 year career. Not a change we needed to make. Despite he defensive contribution he was only a .5 WAR player last year. Peralta missed 50 games and was still 3.3. If you just go by Dwar Ryan was .6 and Peralta was .7

Other than Molina and Carpenter, every position player on
team hits well but doesn't field well and vice versa.Hard to find the perfect combination of both.

Like these.

Haven't added much recently, except for a stash of Bourjos on COMC. Added these two for a couple side projects.
