Wieters signed with the Nats

That makes 11 Boras clients on that team and they account for 2/3rd's of their payroll

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Don't know

Hopefully they give up another prospect too.

Did Ramos sign anywhere even with his knee injury?

robertson has a bad contract so i cant imagine the haul will be much

MLB exploring the option of automatic IBB instead of making the pitcher throw 4 balls.  This would maybe make sense if IBBs were constantly adding 15 minutes to games but they're pretty infrequent as it is and they're probably still faster than any regular 4 pitch at bat.

they have been exploring it for a long time...they actually passed it yesterday per player approval

more than a time saver it makes perfect sense in that the four pitch intentional walk was one of the dumbest things in all of sports

It can take it or leave it.  Doesn't matter much to me.  It's just ridiculous that they think it's going to impact the speed of the game in any way.

they cant admit it but i think its more about moving baseball out of the early 20th century than it is speeding up the game....i dont know anyone my age who doesnt think its a ridiculous rule...if millennials watched baseball imagine what they would think

Saw a couple different articles about it on FB yesterday and the comments were from mouth breathers who were butt hurt because it takes away the "excitement of a wild pitch allowing runners to advance or score." 

Seriously.  This is what people were saying.  This happens at the professional level with the same regularity of Halley's Comet passing by Earth. 

Also read 1 comment by a dude who said that they should only allow the automatic IBB when there are no runners on base.  Just gonna let that sink in for a bit.

im obviously not a vorp guy but at the same time there arent too many things that annoy me more than antiquated baseball fans

I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it.

MLB should def based their rules on what happens in 12yr old LL.

If guns kill people then spoons made Rosie O'Donnel a fatass.
