2010 MLB Season Discussion

[*Shinzon*]

What's ridiculous about this is that the Rangers are now going to receive two additional draft picks when Lee elects free agency and if the sale of the rangers falls apart, they'll have no money to sign them as the 20m the MLB is giving them will probably be gone by then.

[Stiker]

Recently promoted to AAA Blake Beavan is one of the three players. One of them is another pitcher and one a position player.

Edit: Radio said a AA 2B and another pitcher I've never heard of are also in. Trying to get names, was a quick-hit on the air.

[Kyo]

Well good for the rangers, they can use him for the rest of the season.

[Stiker]

Looks like all names are out.

Rangers get: Lee, Lowe, and cash.

Mariners get: Smoak, Blake Beavan (P, AAA), Josh Lueke (P, AA), and Matt Lawson (2B/OF, AA)

Edit: Have a source that isn't Twitter now: http://startelegramsports.typepad.co...-lee-deal.html

4:47pm: The Yankees, not surprisingly, are livid with the Mariners, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The Yanks thought they had a deal, but the Mariners told the Rangers they could have Lee if they included Smoak and there went the Yankees' hopes of getting Lee.

Does Lee not have a no trade clause?

Why would any pitcher want to go to Texas in that heat is beyond me, unless he had no choice.

[Akiyama]

Dude. He's going from Seattle where he gets like.. no run support, to Texas where they have excess runs. Why not? lol

No he didn't have a no trade clause. It's how he ended up being traded what, 3 times in the last year. Also why Jerry Manuel refuse to sit Reyes when he can't bat from both sides of the plate is beyond me. Reyes is going to be hitting 2nd since he can't swing from both sides, what the fuck manuel really.

Stop being logical!

[Trichocyst]

If he had a no trade clause I'm pretty sure he'd have stayed in Philly.

[Bregor]

With Smoak gone, does this mean I can hop back on the Chris Davis bandwagon?

[Akiyama]

Yep. He'll get back up here and strike out at least two hundred more times I'm sure.

[*Shinzon*]

Nice play Hinske thanks much. Also, Thank you jerry manuel you stupid fuck now reyes is clearly aggravated that oblique again. GG

[Akiyama]

Fuck you. I'm hating this RA Dickey. He's dicked the Braves twice already. This would be a shutout if Hanson could stop letting the guy hit the ball.

[Kyo]

What a dick.

[Cephius]

I, for one, will enjoy seeing the crater that Dickey leaves when he falls back to Earth.

edit: lol escoOOPS

[Akiyama]

Great. Just great. There were trade rumors around Escobar actually.. god I hope they get him the fuck out of here. Not like we'd be missing his shitty bat. Sick of his lackadaisical play in the field too.

That's the exact words Keith hernandez just used, stop watching the sny broadcast fgt. Anyway Escobar might have not only committed an error that inning but might cost glaus playing time if his wrist gets bad. You could see it too, Glaus was ready to walk to short and fuck escobar up, hes a damn clown.

[Cephius]

I know really small sample size, but Thole is hitting .538/.600/.615 and..... you bunt him into an out. Superb managing. BUNTING FOR TEH WIN!

I'm watching SportsSouth, you whore.. and I'm not a fan of Keith Hernandez, so I'm about to take back what I said. >.>

But in all seriousness, it's been said all around that he just seems to lack a certain passion, and Bobby Cox is sick of it. Not like dropping him out of the lineup will cause us to miss his .238 average, and 18 RBI without a single homer. Not only that, but he's boned up three times tonight in an important series. I hope Bobby sits his ass.
