This is more #$!&@ up than the transfer rule.


Wow, I watched that a bunch of times and can't figure out what martin did wrong.

This is what he did wrong per MLB

I think the important thing to take away from that, is that Brandon Phillips wants to be a Phillie.

Bryce Harper is rehabbing tonight with High-A Potomac. He's still the third-youngest player on that team.

And it sounds like it is going to take 6 hours instead of the usual 5.

i haven't watched that in years. It's so monotonous and boring. It should be 1 hour long tops.

Recent Delsea grad Bryan Dobzanski was intent on attending the University of Louisville on a baseball scholarship until the St. Louis Cardinals made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

A 29th-round draft choice of St. Louis earlier this month, the hard-throwing righthander said Tuesday night that he would sign with the Cardinals on Thursday in Florida.

The slot value for all draft choices selected after the 10th round is $100,000, but Dobzanski said he would be signing for considerably more.

"They are offering me $700,000," he said by phone. "I pretty much had my mind set on attending Louisville, but that offer threw me off guard."


A two-time state wrestling champion, Dobzanski was 3-0 with a 0.91 ERA this past season. He had 68 strikeouts in 46 innings.

"This is a dream come true," Dobzanski said. "I always wanted to be a professional baseball player."

astros trade discussions leaked

apparently the astros use some type of interoffice communication that was hacked and their discussions were leaked. reads like bad fantasy baseball proposals.
