Phillies sign Delmon Young. One year, $750,000 plus potential performance bonuses.

I like it. Certainly an upgrade offensively, provided he stays healthy and out of trouble. He kinda sucks at playing outfield, but so did Pat Burrell and he won a ring patrolling left (still love Pat the Bat).

Delmon Young had some timely hits for Detroit last season, especially in the postseason.
I don't know if they'll feel his absence that much, especially with Victor Martinez coming back and the signing of Torii Hunter, but still. He was important for them. |

In baseball's new day and age, it's hard to see Delmon Young 'only' making that amount of money.

Hard to believe the ALCS MVP signed a free agent contract for $750 k.

I should point out that I have been on the Delmon Young wagon since he debuted. Mostly because I got him in a fantasy draft in MLB the show, but still.

I honestly think Delmon Young is a piece of shit but I'm looking forward to seeing him drop bombs at CBP.

Why ugh? Youkilis had been wearing number 20, which would have caused a shitstorm if he wore it in the Bronx.

Delmon Young is coming off of ankle surgery, and might miss time early on. That might he something to with such a menial base salary. That, and I think he sucks.

I don't want to see Youkilis in a Yankees jersey regardless of the number. Going to be a long year I feel.

David Cone? Come on. Not that pitching a perfect game isn't amazing but it takes more than that to get your number retired. I swear some Yankee fans actually want them to wind up having to wear triple digits.

There's nothing Youk can do to disrespect David Cone's legacy that David Cone hasn't already done to himself.

I think Inno just means that he doesn't like Kevin Youkilis and does like David Cone not that there was any disrespect to David Cone being shown.

Here's an article about a webcast Sammy Sosa made:
http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story...jersey-retired Here's a quote: If there is a return to the Cubs for Sosa, he says it won't be as a coach -- for now. "The way that I dress says everything," said Sosa, who was wearing a blue sport coat while sitting behind a desk at his office on the webcast. "My life, my career has been such a great career that I believe that my ability is not to be a coach. No offense. Maybe one day, we never know. But right now, I have two beautiful companies with Riverhead Homes and Injex 21, which is moving forward very strongly". Also, this is kinda ironic: Sosa is a managing member of the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Injex 21, which specializes in injections that don't use needles. |

Scott Hairston to the Cubs on a 2-year deal.
The Mets are petitioning MLB to protect the 11th pick in the draft. The top 10 picks are normally protected. The Mets' argument is that they would have had the 10th pick except baseball awarded the Pirates with a bonus top 10 pick because they didn't sign Mark Appel last year. I doubt it works. But if baseball allows them to protect the pick...they may actually sign Bourn. If not, with Hairston off the board they're looking out an outfield of Lucas Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Mike Baxter, Colin Cowgill, and Andrew Brown. Hello 90 losses. |

Santana
Harvey Niese Marcum Gee Health is a big issue with Santana and Marcum. But if healthy that can actually be a damn good rotation. |

Oh I will. It's a fantastic long-term deal for the Braves. But 3rd base is currently a black hole.

The bonuses aren't necessarily performance based..he can make $100,000 just for making weight (sub 230) each of 6 random weigh ins during the season. He can make almost as much as his base salary if he's not a fat ass basically.
