So Profar for Stanton is pretty much a formality at this point, right?

This would be the dumbest move the Marlins have ever made.

RumblingRosco · Apr 1, 2013

Astros v Cubs in the World Series would be truly amazing. I say this as a Cardinals fan, I'd prefer those two making it than even the Cards... just as long as the Astros win in the bottom of the 17th of Game 7.

Reyes getting paid 2.5ish million more a year than Andrus is fucked up

So is Ken Rosenthal trying to pull and April Fools joke or what?

What the heck are the Rangers going to do with the Profar/Andrus/Kinsler situation now?

Profar is probably going to get traded.

Kinsler is going to get moved to first.

Which is stupid for so many reasons.

Meh I'd be fine if they removed the DH and forced pitchers to bat again.

Top six? We've come a long way.

We'll leapfrog Detroit and Boston after we dominate again in 2013.

And a big shout out to Vernon Wells for knocking the Dodgers down to number two!

They are definitely doing rebuilding the right way.

Teams like the Royals spend 20 million dollars on Bruce Chen, Jeff Francoeur, Luke Hochevar and Miguel Tejada.

The notion that the Astros are hurting the game because they didn't throw money towards players like those is absolutely ridiculous.

Profar must've fucked Jon Daniels' sister or something.

Holy shit... WTF Texas? Just ride with Jurickson instead of payin out the ass for Elvis. Salaries in this league are about to get fucking stupid (moreso)

I am stunned that the Rangers extended Elvis. I thought because of Boras and just I don't know. cJ Wilson and Josh Hamilton are rolling in their graves right now.

They were awful for many years and used their draft picks wisely.

CygnusXS · Apr 1, 2013

Andrus > Profar, and also Andrus is really good so I like the extension in principle. They can still get a ton of value out of Profar on the trade market, or they can put him at 2B.

Not sure about 10 year contracts though.

Bad Stadium and I don't think their tv contract is the best. Also fat bastard still owns a share of the team so maybe he is trying to prove Jonah Keri wrong.
