Kind of mind-blowing that Michael Bourn still doesn't have a job. Could he be the first major league player to price himself out of baseball? I'm sure not, but man... I guess he could be had for a 1 year $10M type deal now, and at that rate I think he is a good pick up.

what's so funny?

EDIT: Oh goddammit. I mean it's not like I didn't check ESPN before I posted that to make sure he hadn't signed some place today that I hadn't heard about it. They still don't have it.

Kind of mind-blowing that Kyle Lohse still doesn't have a job. Could he be the first major league player to price himself out of baseball? I'm sure not, but man... I guess he could be had for a 1 year $10M type deal now, and at that rate I think he is a good pick up.
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Indians putting together an interesting lineup

Bourn
Kipnis
Asdrubal
Santana
Swisher
Brantley
Chisenhall
Stubbs
Aviles

Pitching is terrible though.

I have to disagree. It is his fault he went this deep in Free Agency. This is a market where Pagan was able to get 4 years at 10 million per year.

Lohse would've been signed two months ago if it wasn't for draft pick compensation

mlb really needs to do away with the whole "you lose a draft pick for signing player X" thing. give the team that loses the player 2 compensation round picks. the system is killing the market for a lot of these guys.
