And now they are auctioning Nancy Faust's organs to raise money.  It's a sad franchise indeed.  She is only 68!

Tigers signed Mike Pelfrey for a 1 year $8 million contract.  Whoops make that 2 years $16 million.  Hammel looking a lot better.

Trading Hammel and his contract---and bringing in two pitchers--is a good scenario. Attach Hammel with somebody more attractive and the savings subtracting him can go elsewhere. If Pelfrey can get that deal, maybe Hammel can be moved. That's $11 saved, with the 2017 buyout. When have only $25-30 to spend, have to delete too.

Hammel and Castro for Shields and Cashner/Ross?

I don't think I would, and Preller wouldn't.  Just kicking ideas around.

"Cashner/Ross" is a pretty big delta...

Odd that no one has mentioned this...

Barry Bonds was hired today as hitting coach for the Miami Marlins.

I wonder if that's a record for most career HR's on a coaching staff? Mattingly (manager), Wallach (bench coach), and Bonds is a strong triumvirate...

Holy poop.

Guesses on money?  6 years, $198 million?  Has to be an overpay?

So D'Backs apparently plan to contend. Wonder if this impacts Inciarte's availability, assuming he was ever available.
