I'm not particularly a fan of the Phillys.

They definitely earned that reputation last year. But wow.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostWell this is interesting:
Papelbon to the Phils. $50 million over 4 years... I think they are trying to be the NL version of the Yankees (if they weren't already).Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Well, one could see last year as "going all in". But it seemed that losing in the NLDS caused the Phils to think of perpetually going all in (a la Yankees and Red Sox).Originally posted by OzzyKP View Post
As for the Marlins - I think they realize they likely won't get all (or even any) of the 3. It's more, IMO, a PR move to show that the bank is open in Miami.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

or just trying to get as much publicity as possible trying to fill the new stadium.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Well isn't this interesting?
Mike Matheny is the Cardinals new manager. Going for LaRussa to a guy who never managed before... interesting.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

Looks as though the Astros are on their way to the American League:

Francona not going to manage next year. So it will probably be Maddux for Cubs?Comment

Maddux and Sveum are the frontrunner. Looks like Boston may pull the trigger first, and they seem to want Sveum.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

According to CSN Chicago, multiple reports from Milwaukee that Sveum has been offered job by Cubs. They pulled trigger first, maybe because Maddux doesn't want to move because of family?Comment

Unsurprisingly, Clayton Kershaw wins the NL Cy Young (though Halladay was excellent this year as well):
Surprised no one discussed Verlander's unanimous AL Cy Young.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Sveum will be announced as Cubs manager tomorrow.Comment

Nice to know we finally hired a manager with major league managerial experience.

Hey, he coached Brewers to the playoffs before.
Wonder what Ryno's reaction was to the hire?Comment

Is this a good sign for the MVP?
His Cy Young was pretty much in the bag for a while now, so I'm not terribly interested/surprised in him getting it. I don't know off hand how common it is to be the unanimous pick. All I've really cared about award wise is that MVP.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012
