baseball 2012

[smc]

Since the free agency period is open and signings are happening for 2012, it seems appropriate to kick off the 2012 baseball thread. I'll begin with a question for darling Jen: what do you think of the Phillies acquiring Jonathan Papelbon?

I may seem naive for a Brit., but can someone put me clear one one thing - which came first - Baseball or Rounders ?

Or should this be in a different thread ?

Thanks

Rounders. Now, let's concentrate on baseball.

I know I'm not Jen, but I will give my 2 cents worth.

I think they overpaid for him. He is still pretty good(but had periods of "meh-ness) last season, especially during the final game of the season!), but I think a shorter-term contract would have been better.

He would have looked good in a Jays uniform, but the price was too high. They would have lost their first round pick if they signed him due to his being a Type A free agent(and their pick was 17th overall!)

Of course, I am just thankful that the damned Yankees didn't scoop him up. I think that would have pissed both of us off! Am I right?

They over paid and should have put that effort and money towards getting big Al from the Cardinals
To early to think about Baseball Jen

While i'm still a Phillies fan and i have high hopes for them next/this season
Part of me wants to see the CUBS win it all, after all they have been the loveable losers like for ever

How about throwing some love towards the Blue Jays?
