The BBWAA are a bunch of babies. Funny part is Deadspin's ballot was probably the best one out of all of them.

I hope the Veteran's Committee lets the Bonds and Clemens' of the world in someday as a middle finger to the BBWAA. Just let the steroid era guys in. The Baseball HOF is meant to be a museum. Last I checked, museums were supposed to chronicle all history, not just the good parts of it.

I do agree with it is stupid that people will not be elected in because they used steroids before it was banned in baseball.

I imagine the Yankees will now throw some extra Tanaka's way. I'd think Michael Young would be the most logical guy for the Yankees to sign for a 1 year stopgap at 3rd. Part of me wonders if they'd re-engage on talks with Stephen Drew after previously ruling him out (before they knew about A-Rod's status), but then again I can't really see why Drew would want to learn to play 3B for a year when there are other teams that would keep him at SS.
Red Sox and Mets are the only teams I've even really heard linked to Drew at this point, and neither is willing to go more than 1 year guaranteed. If Drew decides to take 1 year it's difficult to imagine him not going back to Boston. Mets probably need to throw in a 2nd year guaranteed to get him. I'd be on board with 2 years for Drew. He's not great by any means but he's still a clear upgrade over automatic out Ruben Tejada. |

If the Mets got Drew their lineup would look something like:
LF Eric Young, Jr. 2B Daniel Murphy 3B David Wright RF Curtis Granderson 1B Ike Davis or a Lucas Duda/Josh Satin platoon CF Chris Young SS Stephen Drew C Travis d'Arnaud Batting order is still up in the air...especially if Juan Lagares wins the CF job based on his glove. In that case he'd likely supplant EYJ and I have no idea who the fuck hits leadoff then. That lineup wouldn't set the world on fire and they'd still clearly be behind Washington and Atlanta, but it's still way better looking than this time last year. Throw in their solid looking rotation and bullpen filled with young arms and they might at least be able to stay in the Wild Card mix. |

A-Rod has officially filed a lawsuit against MLB over the reduced suspension claiming it should have been even lower or nothing at all. Also is suing the Players Union claiming they worked with MLB to ensure a suspension would happen and didn't do enough to fight it.
He tried to get parts of the evidence and ruling from the arbitrator's case to be sealed from the public and MLB for this lawsuit but got denied by a judge. |

His deal also includes an opt-out clause after year 5, meaning he could potentially opt out at age 30 and get another monster of a contract.

Thinking the Cubs ripped off the O's in the Feldman trade. Everyone who's talking about the Cubs future extols the virtues of Baez, Bryant and the like but I think they found another Travis Wood.

Travis Wood was pretty good. Yeah they may not have a #1 (Tanaka? ) but a 2 thru 5 of shark, wood, Jackson, Arietta plus whoever wants to step up (viscaino, Edwards? ) isn't too shabby.
