[Jersey Man]

Who is Jeff the Shark?

Who is Jeff the Shark?

Samardzija from the Cubs. Really really volatile starter who can be an ace for two weaks and then the worst pitcher in the league the next.

Theo (or Dale?) has wanted to dump the guy now 2 years running.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I would be giddy if we somehow picked up Price. Guy would immediately become our ace. Even over CC (since he had such a mediocre season).

 

[Better Call Sal]

If they trade Gardner, I'll be fuming.

Figure the guy has only hit to the tune of a 101 WRC+. Which is pretty much average. His defensive metrics are overblown because he's played LF. I saw a crazy bWAR stat that showed he was just as valuable as Miggy and Adrian Gonzalez because his defense apparently was that great. But when it was broken down, it was because he caught an inordinate amount of balls that a CF would have easily gotten. So he was credited with crazy defensive metrics.

Gardner is the ultimate sell high right now. The outfield market is thin. If you can get a GOOD (or package him for a great) starter you do it and don't even think twice.

Brett Gardner's are truly dime-a-dozen outfielders.

 

[Jersey Man]

No way we get Price with Gardner being the center piece of that deal. We'd need another team or two in it to help us out.

Doubt the Rays want to help us anyway for obvious reasons.

Would have to be Gardner, Nova, and Sanchez I would think. Possibly tack on Montgomery since the Rays love some young, upside RP arms.

That might still be a tad short given who the pitcher is but since he's a pending UFA I think it might be in the ballpark.

Roy Halladay announcing his retirement today
Great guy, shoulder injuries suck . He could have easily played out his contract and made 45 million for the next 4 years

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

Cashman says Kelly Johnson isn't his starting 2B. He says he still needs to find one.

White Sox shopping Chris Sale and the Sox have always loved Brett Gardner.

Mariners targeting David Price, but won't part with Walker.

Dodgers are actively trading Matt Kemp, but refuse to eat any of his salary in a deal.

The Yankees are looking to move Ichiro.

The Yankees would restore my faith in humanity if they traded for Kemp and Price. Kemp looks close to a straight salary dump. The Dodger's incompetence is astounding.

Signing a one-day contract with Toronto so he can retire as a Blue Jay. Man he's a class act.

Aside from Pedro Martinez I can't think of another AL East pitcher I feared more than Doc. Was a treat to watch and certainly a class act.

Not surprised about Ichiro. If the Yanks can't start him they have to move him. He won't want to be a bench player.

Think they need to dump Wells too.

Every team Wells has been on has needed to dump him. He's one of those guys that he could be making half a million dollars and I would assume overpaid

 

[New Jersey Devils]

So I think today's the day we find out if Tanaka is going to be posted

I don't think he will be. I really hope he is but the posting cap doesn't make it worth it for his NPB team, they say.

Hope I'm wrong twice in consecutive weeks though Yankees could use him.

Ah screw you Grandy

 

[The 29th Pick]

hey Grandy.....true ball players dont hit .081 in the playoffs

 

[Scott04]

Damn you guys turned on these ex-Yankees fast

 

[The 29th Pick]

Damn you guys turned on these ex-Yankees fast

he tweeted we're not real fans

 

[Better Call Sal]

I don't care, I still liked Grandy.

 

[NJN225]

He said something like people have been telling him real new yorkers are mets fans. He was never anything but a gentleman and played the game the right way in the Bronx. This is just a case of New York media running with an easy story. I'll always like Granderson, and personally I think this is a stupid non issue.

 

[Wingman77]

Don't try to make something outta nothing

If you followed the Yankees enough, you know what kind of person Granderson is. There is nothing wrong with what he said.

"A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said that true New Yorkers are Mets fans," Granderson said Tuesday afternoon at the winter meetings. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."

Really guys? Get some thicker skin

In actual news, Mark Trumbo to the D'Backs in a 3 team trade

Now wait a minute, imagine if Moose signed with the Rangers before this season and said: "A lot of the people I've met in New Jersey have always said that true New Jerseyans are Ranger fans, So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."

This place would have exploded

Uh, there are a lot of Ranger fans in NJ?

Just like there are a lot of Mets fans NYC, where the Yankees also play?

He just signed with a new team and is giving the fans of the new team a little lip service, nothing new or to see here
