    • Anderson's incentives kick in at 150 innings pitched, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets. He will earn the full $4MM if he reaches 200 innings, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times tweets. Passan adds that the Braves and Royals were also among the final teams in pursuit.

    It's the " new" form of the ex-Giant Colletti bacteria that was rampant a very short time ago.
    It has showed up again as "the Bay Area" viral strain.
    I give the fuck up.
    Is this is when money ball meets lots of money?
    You can fuckin' keep it.

    He hasn't thrown over 45 innings in a season since 2011 when he threw 83. Great signing.

    You are mistaken. He's topped 140 innings twice in 9 years, last year (200 IP), and 2011 (170.2)

    Between Dre, Wilson and league we still have a lot of potential salary to eat.

    We don't know how any of what has happened would still have occurred if the trade to Arizona had gone through. In that trade we would have lost an outfielder and gained a catcher also.

    Would of rather given him a shot than drop four years on McCarthy.

    This what happens when you hire from outside.

    They bring in guys they are familiar with.

    Ned - Gnats

    ISIS - Athletics

    I just don't see us trading away the future for another long term pitcher. We are trying to balance youth with experience.

    I don't get it. It's December. I respect you and Zoo's knowledge but way to early too to shit on the moves.

    I have no issues with any of the moves.

    I was just reminding the guys of how these GM's work when they come from another organization. I like all of the deals but I will admit Anderson's deal is crazy but a good risk. Hell, he's only 26.
    I assume the money was so high because ISIS wanted his guy and to ensure it, they had to outbid the other two teams.

    so twice in the last 4 years.

    140 innings in the other year i believe.

    if he can do 170-180, we'll be golden.

    So you wanted to keep Haren? (I wasn't against keeping him, I'm just saying.)

    I don't have a good feeling about Dee's trade...can't help it.
    If kemp had to go, so be it...maybe Grandal will be a good thing, IDK.
    But all the money for this guy (and I really don't give a shit if they spend billions, tbh) but for someone we need. Is the risk worth it? Seems almost like insanity. I never pretend to know if it's 'too much" or "too many" when we get someone new...that's for the GM wanabees, but does this seem smart?
    Truthfully, next October, I don't believe we'll be one of the last two teams left...I just don't have faith anymore. I root, I moan, I argue, I curse, I foam, I listen to/give back all the bullshit, etc. etc., and it all winds up the same. Every year...
    Losers.
