Thinking somebody may not age as well as a HOF makes me a doubter?  Whatever.

I offered no such explanation as to why I put you in the doubter camp, nor would that accurately reflect my reasoning.

Rivera isn't coming back, he signed with the Angels.

Darvish tweeted about the rumor going around that his choices are down to the Cubs, Twins, Astros, Rangers, and Yankees:

ダルビッシュ有(Yu Darvish)‏ @faridyu
I know one more team is in.

I knew the Marlins were saving their money for something.

Really starting to doubt Darvish is coming.  Seems to me if he was that impressed with the Cubs and wanted to play for them, he would have signed by now and stopped dicking around.

Articles like this make it seem like the Cubs and Cobb might be coming back around to each other.

I did.  There's nothing earth-shattering in it.  Quotes from Cishek about how he's reached out to Cobb and hopes he signs because, you know, he's good.
