Rice should not have made it. If he is in, Mattingly should be in, and they would be opening the doors to the hall.

He was a great player, but not HOF.

Blyleven should have been in ahead of Rice.

Rickey's speech is going to be epic. Get ready to drink every time he says RIckey Henderson.

Had Mattingly not had back problems he might have been in, and may someday.

Rice was a dominant player and feared bat when he played.

take a full look at the stats and careers of the two of them and you'll realize how wrong you are.

but again, had mattingly not had back problems that hampered the last 5yrs of his career, he'd probably would have made it.

Supposedly the Braves offered 4 years to Lowe, so the Mets backed off and offered 3 years to Oliver Perez.

I really don't see why they are so reluctant to give 4 years to Lowe. I get that the age is a factor, but christ. When they gave Pedro 4 years, they knew full well of the fact that he would be injured. At least Lowe has been healthy his entire career. Lowe is just a million times more consistent than Ollie.

Not to mention, there's no way Boras is gonna allow Perez to accept a 3 year deal...because I'm sure Boras can find a mystery team at the last second to force the Mets to pony up a 4th year.

The only way I'll be happy bringing the inconsistent Oliver Perez back is if they also take a chance on Ben Sheets. I can live with Santana-Sheets-Pelfrey-Perez-Maine, even though Sheets will be injured.

Aaaand there it is. Lowe agrees to terms with the Braves, 4 years, $60 million.

Mets are gonna be forced to give Ollie 4 years now since they are in a position of need.

I must thank Frank Wren for (at least) giving the Braves a feasible rotation going into the year. If Tommy Hanson is anything the scouts say he is, we might actually have a really amazing staff without Smoltz.

Now I wonder what else he has up his sleeve. Wren did state in an interview that he actually had been working on some trades and had one on the table already. We'll see whats in the cards. It's pretty much a given that Andruw is coming our way, so we'll see if the Braves are willing to part with one of their many many outfield prospects for something...another pitcher? That would be crazy...but awesome.

Actually, now that I think about it, trading for another starter is probably out of the question, considering Hudson will be back late season. Maybe he's got a deal for a left fielder...who knows.

I'm pretty sure it's because the Yankees got NY to give them all this tax money after claiming they couldn't afford to finish building New Yankee Stadium and then went out and spent half a billion dollars on three players.

The half a billion dollars on Sabathia, Teixeira, and Burnett will be spent over the next 7 or 8 years, whereas the additional cash needed to construct the stadiums had to be invested immediately. The city of New York hopes that the new stadiums will increase tourism, and hence, bring in more tax dollars for the city.

Then again, the Yankees probably could have still afforded to build the stadium without tax dollars, cause they're the Yankees.

T.N. is pretty much right. Both the Yanks and Mets are asking for more cash for other purposes in their parks.

Basically, New York wants to know why they need more taxpayer dollars when they already gave both teams a few truckloads.

I have no idea why states invest in sport stadiums, there is no concrete proof of it bringing any positives to the state/city. It may boost the local economy around the stadium (which is pretty small area when you look at the big picture) but a lot of times its just taking pre-existing money from other areas within the city/state and bringing to the area where the stadium is. It's stupid

Cora is a decent pickup, should have no problem filling in Damion Easley's role.

Apparently the Mets have been bombarded with new design suggestions rather than the AWFUL patch they have right now.

This one is my personal fav:

I just saw that patch on Metsblog, and I too like that one 10000000 times better. Anything to make us look credible and not a compete joke. It is a very nice patch.

Teams must see something pretty terrible in Sheets medical record if noone has signed him yet. Obviously he is prone to injuries but it must be something that could affect him a lot next year. Sheets was the second best pitcher in market this offseason and it doesn't even seem like any teams are too interested. Sheets must feel okay himself though if he declined arbitration.

If the Yankees don't get Pettitte back it'd be nice to go after Sheets though. Yeah, its adding another injury risk to a rotation with some question marks but adding him leads to some better depth.

Sabathia-Wang-Burnett-Joba-Sheets Hughes/Aceves/Kennedy

Definitely a risky rotation but I would feel comfortable with it because Hughes, Aceves and Kennedy is decent depth for 6-7-8 pitchers. That could be the most dominant rotation in baseball if everything clicks or there could be 2 guys on the DL at any given time.

Hey, the Yankees have gone through at least 8 starters each year for the past couple now. Plus, they gotta keep pace with the Red Sox now.

lol so the Sox have signed Youkilis to a $40 million contract...couple that with Pedroia's $40.5 million awhile back...they just signed 2 of their top hitters for less than what Burnett's total Yankees contract is.

Good for the Team, bad for the players, they could have gotten mad paid.

Although they really just sold their arbitration years, and for 10 mill a year, that aint bad.

There is never a guarantee that you are going to be healthy enough to make it to your arbitration years. Look at Mark Prior. I would have taken the same offer.

They've added the pitchers and catchers reporting date clock onto MLB.com websites......this is really the time where I start to get antsy.

I honestly like seeing players report to ST and seeing pics of baseball being played out in the sun...it helps distract me from the gayass Northeast winter
