I'm happy with it, and the more I read on Price the more I like the move. He's not going to be the Lou Piniella fiery type that some wanted, but it seems he demands respect and accountability.thavoice;1521974 wrote:So...people happy with the hire?

As long as we sign the worst hitting center fielder available and he bats him first I love the hire.

Tim Lincecum just got 2yrs/35M from the Giants, Bronson might get 13M a year as a FA.

2nd time this offseason that the giants have completely overpaid to resign a player and drive the market way up on the position. Did it with pence too. How the f does lincecum get 17.5 mil a year????se-alum;1522139 wrote:Tim Lincecum just got 2yrs/35M from the Giants, Bronson might get 13M a year as a FA.

Some good interviews with Leake and Ludwick and Cozart last night. What you liked to hear was everyone talked about accountability.
SOme comments kinda seemed like they may be were taking digs at VOtto, who declined an interview

Well Ludwick and Cozart blow. I don't give a shit if they talked about accountability. What did they say about Votto?

I agree with Ludwick and that contract sucks.Rotinaj;1522356 wrote:Well Ludwick and Cozart blow. I don't give a shit if they talked about accountability. What did they say about Votto?
Cozart is a young player who is getting better, and hit 280+ in the last 50 games of the season and I am not ready to give up on him. Hell, he was within 10 rbi of surpassing votto...
Cannot really say exact things that were said, just some of their answers in the details seemed like they were getting little subtle digs in. Kinda hard to explain if ya didnt hear them.

Definitely. I also found out today that the Reds game him a front office job. Not sure what it is, exactly, but a pretty cool gesture by the team.Commander of Awesome;1523746 wrote:Thought this was pretty cool:

Surprised BP won the Gold Glove. I thought he had his worst defensive season as a Red, but the spectacular plays take away some of the bad errors.

Well he probably should have won it last year as well, and this year I dont know of anyone really who should have gotten it over him.se-alum;1525799 wrote:Surprised BP won the Gold Glove.

Darwin Barney was simply better in almost every defensive category and only had 1 error on that shitty Cubs infield for the whole season.thavoice;1525940 wrote:Well he probably should have won it last year as well, and this year I dont know of anyone really who should have gotten it over him.
Barney wasn't as spectacular this year and even though BP has lost some range.....it was a coin toss this year. It must've landed tails.
