DOM-O-NIQUE just drilled a homer off of Big Truck's big truck, setting the alarm off

Now we're having ourselves a season

Apparently Dom Brown just crushed a ball into Contreras' truck during BP.

Which one of you posted "joboggi" on the Facebook lineup photo?

Fangraphs now has stats about a catcher's performance at blocking pitches. Chooch was 3rd in the majors since 2008, trailing Yadier and McCann.

McCann is pretty good at blocking pitches for a guy who can't see

Definitely not great news for Ryan, but, that said, this isn't the Ryan Howard fiasco all over again

Laynce married a Dallas cowboys cheerleader in the offseason. The y is sexy.

The one in his name is, too.

Oofah.

Shane Victorino told reporters Thursday that locking him up would require a five-year contract.
"I’d like five years, yeah," said the 31-year-old outfielder. "Why wouldn’t I? I signed for three. Why wouldn’t I want the next one to be longer? My agents say I can get a five-year deal on the market. Why not trust them?" Victorino is currently scheduled to become a free agent after the 2012 season. He batted .279/.355/.491 with 17 homers, 19 steals and 16 triples in 132 games last year.

Hopefully he makes his last season as a Phil memorable.

I read this on Brotherly Glove yesterday:

“..I’m willing to give up free agency. A lot of guys won’t. In the game of baseball, free agency is what every major league player dreams of. You want to maximize your value, and of course I do, too. But what’s important to me is, I want to be here. I love playing here. My family loves the city. I love the city. So when I made that statement, that’s what I meant.”

What will that crazy kid come up with next?

Aaron Rowand got 5 years.

Have fun in San Francisco, Shane.

Gee willikers, Shane has been one consistent dude.

OBPs since being a regular: .346; .347; .352; 358; .327; .355.

Slugging pcts: .414; .423; .447; .445; .429; .491.

I think we learned from Rollins the difference between a bargaining ploy and an unnegotiable demand.

Besides, pretty much every big-spending team has at least one ridiculous contract on its books now - there may not be any team out there willing to give a 30-plus centerfielder a five-year deal.

by **Bakestar** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 19:17:04

I'm w/ BuddyGroom here.

by **Grotewold** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 19:19:17

It's like Rollins where he wants to be here and isn't gonna get a significantly bigger offer elsewhere. Which means you can wait the year out to see about him, Mayberry, Brown, Pence, and even Utley...
