    In 43 Triple-A games last year, Butera hit just .187/.228 /.281.

    Just think what kinda dough he would have gotten if he had slashed that line...

    hey pads
    no one is going to give you anything good in exchange for the scrubs you're offering, no one
    but i i think i have a solution...
    how about you give us headley (who you can't/won't re-sign)
    and we'll give you ethier and elbert
    shit, we'll even pay all three of their salaries!
    what do you say bkitches!
    :vrp:

    Twinkies sign another pitcher?? Are they going for it or what. Phil Hughes 3 years/24 million. We are out on Arroyo and Beltran could be a Yankee real soon.

    • Per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, moving Matt Kemp would require the Dodgers to eat some of the $128MM he's owed over the next six years. If L.A. knocks that down to $80-90MM, the market is expected to open up.

    I remain in favor of keeping all 4 OF''s. Unless a Don Corleone deal pops up.

    The Twins have some great young position players coming up though.

    Interesting update. Keep going lower and who knows?

    11:00pm: Cano asked for a nine-year deal at $28MM per year, reports ESPN's Buster Olney, a $252MM total that would match Alex Rodriguez's first free agent contract. He also wants a tenth year vesting option at $29MM. Olney says the Yankees are in the $170MM range, leaving a gap of around $80MM.

    It's not interesting that his price is coming down? As far as his demands remember we are in the money is abundant time in the MLB. Twins signing guys left and right is a indication of that trend, not to mention the Royals of all teams looking like they are "going" to spending money. I'm not condoning the numbers but it's the market.

    i'd laugh if cano fell into our laps on a 5-6 year deal
    but re-signing kersh and hanley is the bigger priority imo

    This.

    Cano seems unaware that the bigger fear is the years asked rather than the AAV.

    No, it's interesting that JayZ and his client are now realizing what they were asking for was fricken' ridiculous.

    I have a sinking feeling we won't sign Kersh. I don't know what it is, but I just feel like it won't happen.

    @Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Orioles trying hard to trade Jim Johnson, #Dodgers in mix. Johnson projected to earn more than $10M in arbitration.
