I wouldn't go over 5 years for Hamilton. I think he stays with Texas.

Mets exec said Mets will not be signing any top OF free agent this year.

10 years for any player is crazy. 10 years for a player who is over the age of 30, has a history of injury issues and has an off the field issue that has to be monitored at all times is just utterly insane.
So basically Josh Hamilton will be wearing pinstripes next season.

Why the fuck would he come to NY? The Yankees are trying to cut down on payroll. NYC isn't the place for an ex drug addict.

I can see Baltimore going after him aggressively. They have tried on a few big free agents last few seasons.
he will cherish that ring forever
lol that would fucking suck to be traded like that

What team is desperate enough to sign B.J. Upton and David Ortiz?
Hamilton is better, sure. But Span & Willingham were 3-4 win players this year. You'd be paying all that money for another, what, 2-3 wins if you're lucky? Not worth the upgrade.
I mean I know the Twins are going to sell Span for peanuts because they undervalue him, but still. I don't think any of these guys are going to be MVP candidates, but they'll be players who will provide surplus value. The outfield & corner players aren't really the problem on the team, that would be the ghastly pitching & middle infield.
the braves might go after upton, they have always liked him I think.

Ben Revere has a nice season goin too.
I'd sign Ortiz to a one year deal.

The Phillies will sign David Ortiz to play CF.

Dude wants a multi year deal.
He'll have a hard time finding one as an aging dh with no other position to play.

Ryan Howard should play LF then.

We haven't seen many left-handed shortstops in the past century...
The Rangers possibly
He's got a really nice glove, and a decent BA, but his K:BB ratio is way too high and he has basically no power. He's a great defensive replacement, and he'd be fine hitting at the bottom of the order. He's hitting second and starting every day for the team. Ugh.
And they'll probably trade Span (who's been worth over 2 rWAR than Ben) to make way for Ben to start every day. Since they think they're equally valuable. Uuuuuughhhh.

Deion Sanders is taking BP in an Orioles uniform at Camden right now...
The Yankees would be a nice fit for Ortiz, but they use the DH differently than we do. Have too many old declining men who rotate through it.
Be prepared for an extremely dry read. No jokes. No storyline. Just numbers.
and then trade trout to the braves for uggla.
Don't know why the white sox are being thrown out there as a hamilton destination. We've got about 85 million invested already and that's before offering arb to Beckham and picking up Gavin's option. Peavy's walking and we aren't going to pay $$$ for youk so we have a ton of holes and not enough payroll to fill them.
The only scenario that leads to Hamilton going to the W.Sox is if we go deep into the playoffs. And even in that case we'd have to shop off Dunn while his value is high.

You'll be changing your tune once Uggla hits a walk-off homer to win the World Series.
I hope you're right.
I don't like the way you guys are all following our steps and inching closer and closer. It's intimidating and bullyish. You guys are all bullies. BULLIES
give me your lunch money!
You, well the Braves fan, already took mine when yall swept us.
WAR is pretty complicated, and FanGraphs and BR both use different formulas. From what I read online, their difference is such:
I prefer FanGraphs but to each his own.

Randy Wolf tore a ligament in his elbow and needs Tommy John surgery. He's out until the 2014 season.
Bill Hall's contract has been purchased and has been added to the O'd 40-man.

When is the NL going to implement the DH?

Hopefully never. Such a bullshit "position."

Prado just set a new NL record with 91 2-strike hits on the season.
