It would be one thing if commissioners weren't in the Hall. But since owner reps are in the Hall (and some horrible ones at that), why not union leaders who made the game what it is today?

Just read a Craig Calcaterra tweet that has me thinking: does LaRussa make the HOF if there were no steroids in the game?

Marvin Miller should have made it as well, though. I disagree on Miller. He's a union guy, not baseball man No union man has had a greater effect on baseball than Marvin Miller. He's had more of an effect on baseball than most owners and commissioners have. He most certainly should be given a spot in Cooperstown.

Baseball-Reference's Fan EloRater has Roy Halladay as the 55th best pitcher of all-time. That's behind Kevin Brown at #54. I'm a proponent of Kevin Brown as a HOFer, but I don't see how anyone could look at the complete body of work and say Brown had a better career. Tim Hudson is #58. I love Tim Hudson, I really do, but to rank him only 3 slots behind Halladay is a travesty.

9:02am: Davis' two-year deal is in the $9-10MM range, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). That number continues a surprising increase in the going rate for a fourth outfielder, as Nate McLouth recently signed for $10.75MM over two years with the Nationals. Yuck. REALLY glad the Twins didn't sign this guy for that much.

What a bizarre signing by Detroit. Glad they saved the Twins' bacon on that one.

Band-Aid methods for positional players. Wait for the prospects. So they wind up with average pitching, crap offense. That'll work.

The hevaily rumored three-team trade between the Angels, Diamondbacks and White Sox has been completed, a source tells Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Mark Trumbo and a pair of players to be named later will head to the Diamondbacks, Adam Eaton will join the White Sox and Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs are headed to the Angels (Twitter links).

So the Sox give up a young lefty starter(25) for a Ben Revere-type CF. Good for them.

AZ has offered Joba 1 year/3mill Lot of $ for ineffective bullpen guy

Giving Davis that kind of money is about like signing Aaron Hicks to the same contract. Unbelievable stupidity by Detroit.

He can hit lefties and will be a highly effetive pinch runner. They probably overpaid him, but for them, he's more of a last-piece-of-the puzzle guy.

Play on the West Coast dude. Then you can wear your sunglasses at night. Corey Hart is currently weighing offers from multiple teams, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter).

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (12/11/2013 10:03:20 AM)
This is one I get a kick out of . It's how Twitter has changed sports and events like this. Sure, teams listen. Big deal. If they didn't listen on every player, they would not be doing their job. But these guys make it sound like they're all wheeling and dealing, virtually non-stop. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports looks at the Tribe's surplus of outfielders (on Twitter) with Michael Bourn, Michael Brantley, David Murphy, Drew Stubbs and Ryan Raburn all in the fold, noting that something is likely to give. Rosenthal notes that Cleveland is listening on virtually all of its players.

Dave E -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (12/11/2013 10:23:16 AM)
Totally agree, Ed. "Listening" is the worst term in these things. Virtually meaningless.

Mets to sign Colon; reported 2 years/20 mill. Just amazing.

Fausto Carmona Roberto Hernandez Identity Crisis gets a 1 year deal in Philly : MLBTR's Tim Dierkes reports (via Twitter) that Hernandez will receive a $4.5MM guarantee, and his contract contains another $1.5MM worth of incentives.

That's a good signing. I know a lot of people don't like him, but for 1 year, that's reasonable.
