2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Moss]

Yeah Uggla carried the offense once he was off the schnide

Was talking to Francisco. Dude is hating on THEO like a spurned lover.

No. I was calling you on your "losing the world series is worse than never making it to the world series"-esque nonsense.

I have nothing against Theo. I think Ricketts is a putz though.

Also, Cubs fans who thinks Theo makes them instant contenders are delusional.

CC not opting out. Horray!

Current contract term, plus the 2016 season at $30mil. In 2017 there's a vesting option worth $25mil, or if his shoulder blows out the team can do a $5mil buyout.

CC says he was only in it for more time, wants to finish his career in NY, yaddayadda..

Jilted lover.

Why is ricketts a putz? He got arguably the best gm in the game to head baseball ops and his talented acolytes to work for him.

Never claimed they be instant contenders. Personally I'm expecting big things from them when back to the future said they would win the ws.

[Conrad]

jimmy is from oakland, SF is a perfect fit

I'm sure he'd actually like to have some pitching behind him too rather than the shit show that was PHI

haha

[Melena]

Since offseason moves started, I went and threw up an offseason discussion thread for us to migrate over to.
