Next lowest draft timer is 30 seconds. So I think 60 is probably best.

[pohibaba]

Yeah, I like 60s.

Man, so much hate :<

Domonic Brown breaks his hand, thus ending the only real bit of drama for the Phillies this spring. The regular season can't get here soon enough.

Is it anymore likely that they'll want to trade for a portion of Rowand's contract now?

[Trichocyst]

Not resigning Rowand was one of the best moves that the current generation Phillies ever made.

[Conrad]

Rowand & Victorino both have the same amount of rings, though. Never mind, Rowand has more.

[Trichocyst]

Rowand contributed about as much to the Giants World Series win as Barry Zito.

I'm sure the $126 million Zito is getting helped ease the sting a bit.

On a side note, Bochy and the other guys had to have a private talk with Zito after word leaked that the front office was about ready to just cut him and eat the contract after his first shitty spring start.

So I was playing The Show demo at work today, how the fuck do the giants have the #3 ranked offense in the league in that game?

Do they not understand that team struggled to score 2 runs a game, and were like .050 RISP?

[Melena]

Do they look into future assumptions? A slimmed down Sandoval + DeRosa + A shortstop that doesn't go 0 for 50 then go on a tear to go back on another 0-50 + full year of buster posey = much better offense.

Also Grienke has a broken rib, may be starting the season on the DL.

[Pringles]

The Brewers' Zack Greinke fractured a rib playing pick-up basketball last month and will begin the regular season on the disabled list, the team revealed in a stunner on Tuesday.

Greinke, the team's biggest offseason addition and likely Opening Day starter, had made two Cactus League starts with sore ribs before undergoing an MRI scan on Monday that revealed a minor fracture of his seventh rib and a bone bruise on his eighth rib. The normal recovery time is four to six weeks from the time of injury, Brewers head physician William Raasch said, meaning Greinke is already about two weeks into the healing process.

Greinke said he fell after going up for a rebound and sustained the injury.

"I've been doing this for a couple years now, and people are always saying, 'You're going to get hurt,'" Greinke said. "It finally caught up to me."

Sup Aaron Boone. But seriously, don't pro athletes have clauses built into their contract for them to not to do things like pick up basketball games and such to prevent this from happening? Brewers have got to be pissed at him for this.

[archibaldcrane]

I know I'm pissed.

Greinke drives hard to the rim bro

[Weeks]

The Reds are going to take the division simply because none of their players are good enough to impact their chances all that much when they get injured.

Reports in a lawsuit that the Yankees offered Chapman a contract valued at $54m. Will be interesting to see what comes of this

Apparently Utley's knee issues are pretty bad. Doc for philly said today that meds and treatment had no effect on his condition. Might end up as the next Beltran LAWL
