if the Nats don't want Bud Black, I'm happy to have him back as our pitching coach.

Thank you very much.

nothing says loser like going back to your old job

Yeah, when I want to learn about the Peter Principle, I always look to the sources who live in a 927 sq ft house.

Smackies going to be upset.

Smackies going to be upset.

No.  They made the right choices this year - both Josh and Bryce deserved the MVP.

I also hope that it makes Trout come back very hungry next season to reclaim his trophy.

At least for the next decade... After that,  they'll just rename Cooperstown...

Tigers sign Jordan Zimmermann - 5 years $110 million.

curious to see how he does.... definitely my favorite Nats pitcher.

Jim Johnson gets a major league deal from the Braves and $1.6M guaranteed.  Wow.

And another.  1 year, $2.5m.  Double wow.

Red Sox sign Price.  7 years,  around $217m

and unlike the Nats/Scherzer deal, NO money is deferred.....

Tigers sign Pelfrey in a kind of nutty, underwhelming deal.

Diamondbacks sign Greinke.  6 years, $195m ($32.5m per year).  The largest AAV ever...

wow...well, I think he is the best pitcher in baseball (ie, NL)...I have Scherzer at 2 and Kershaw at 3...

[vansmack]

Giants sign Smardjzia to a 5 yr,  $90m deal.

If they sign him and Leake for less than Zack,  that could tip the balance in that division.  The Dodgers will probably sign Cueto now,  though.
