If Boone actually did post a line up like that he's a bigger JO than I think he is. And yeah he'd need to have
From the bit I saw of MLB Insider, Davis got 3 years 52 million, a huge expenditure for the Rockies I'd guess.

Lil' I see no mention of this on the real Aaron Boone's Twitter account, the actual legit "verified" one...
does the page you're seeing look anything like this, no??? Keep in mind legit twitter acct's always have a blue check mark following their SN. Which means verified as legit by Twitter Legit Police....

note: on the actual verified accounts of Twitter's, you will see a blue circle with a check mark in it... i.e.-

Imo, the Rockies think they can win with a stronger BP than SP staff, as they did last year, as did the Bums, and several other teams, i.e. utilize BP Pitcher's more than SP's.....
Davis has lost 6-7mph on his fastball, I smell desperation and doom in the Rockies..... Imo, he will have wished he stayed the hell out of the high elevation of Coors Field....
I can't go back and find it now but I am pretty sure it was him.

I think Martinez might be the best FA out there this off season.

look, but don't touch/offer....
same with Machado & Bosox...
Hosmer take it, you'll not see a better offer....
J.D. in Boston with Machado, doubt those cheap bastards will pull the triggers on either. Martinez imo, needs to stay in the NL.... he ate Pitching alive, damn near 30 hr's in less than 70 games. D'backs can't afford J.D. w/Greinkes fat fkng contract. Good one Zach "it's not about the money", and "I wan't to play for a W.Series caliber team". The D'Back imo would of never seen post season without J.D. Martinez. Grenike: ye' fkd your own team over in t/long run....

Nunez makes the most sense to me and has been on my radar for awhile now.

Even Machado can't take that atmosphere anymore. The O's start hot then turn Cold.

I heard someone on TV late last night, not sure who, talking about Edgar Martinez's outlook; justification as a HOF'r. It was stated, with Edgar, Buck Showalter had a theory, if his pitcher could throw a low outside curve, slider away just off the plate and in the dirt, for Strike 1, but when not if, Edgar hit it, dug it out, which he often did....
then Buck told his Pitcher's, just throw the damn ball down the middle to him....

a move to San Diego, for even less money is and would be Career Suicide. Royals need to figure out how to keep both Moose and Hoz, but have blue chip prospects ready and waiting, which they do not. KC thought they could make a run at PS, kept both, lost Davis, Zimmerman, a chunk of their BP, which they thought they could sustain.
No real blue chippers, and no more trade bait. KC made a mistake it seems, not trading both Moose and Hoz, when they could of began a big replenishment of their fam system. KC's damned to keep them, and damned if they can't....

KC really screwed the pooch, allowing three key contributors to become free agents, when they should of traded all 3, since they can't seem to keep all 3, and obtained some prospects in trades, long before these 3 became FA's, ntm- a few others like Davis....
now, no veteran stars to speak of, and a washed up depleted farm system for KC. This is worse than the KC A's, at least during a horrid period of play in KC, a team I got quit a few game broadcasts as a kid in Wichita, both KC and St. Louis (in the latters heydays). KC back then had some damn fine prospects/rookies that turned out to be pretty damn good, i.e. Maris, Hunter, Jackson, et al....
Even tho' Finley was latter snake bit by over zealous an approach to Free Agency, must be a KC thing....
Speaking of the A's, they've re-earned their old moniker of the latter 70's, before Billy Martin took over: "The Oakland Pathetics"
I guess the Royals are cleaning house.

No sense in getting Machado as a potential one year rental. Did see an article with the Cubs trading Addison Russell and a couple of others for Machado. I really don't think the Orioles would do an in division trade especially to the Yankees. While the Yankees are trying to clear payroll it's time make an Ellsbury trad a priority. The present unit is more than good enough to compete. Given the shape of the club and farm the Yankees are pretty much in the drivers seat for future moves.
