A few notable retirements.

Including Pancho Herrera.

[fsquid]

so the only thing going on now is free agency offers?

I'm not even gonna check. I'm sure this is the other Pancho Herrera that no one cares about, so nice try.

[Carlos]

Looks like funclown got his guy. I feel the guy I got will be better. But I wouldn't have hated on getting either. Only two men on my list. Though, I was tempted to put Tsuda on it as well. Would have if I didn't have enough arms in my pen (wouldn't have mattered since he went first).

edit: Snap. Just realized I also picked up the 2B I wanted. Awesome! Forgot, I had three guys on my list.

[fsquid]

no one was enticing to me.

Protecting Tsuda should have been. He was on like 18 of the 20 lists. That kid is going to be a nice bullpen arm.

Pittsburgh got a steal there. Him, Trey Brown & Tera Oka were high on my list.

Worst case, trade him for a draft pick or some other kind of prospect. I'm assuming it was a rookie mistake.

This is like the time MLB had a Pedro A. Martinez.

Fun fact: His middle name doesn't even start with an A. He doesn't even have a middle name! The A was simply placed there to distinguish him from that other much more famous and effective Pedro Martinez.

I hereby want the retired Pancho Herrera known as Pancho A. Herrera. Please make the edit, Clay.

It happens all the time. Much better to place a good young player on the 40-man then to let him walk for free.

I still don't understand why I see so many valuable players show up in the Rule V. (Someone smack Jake for me. Like for real).

I'm still banking on Cameira, Cota, Larivee and now Oka to do some damage in the near future.

If we had the freedom to do pre-name nicknames, I could be talked into "The Other".

Historic day with Keppel hanging them up. Sadly, goes out with a whimper because of the last couple seasons. I blame Pawtucket.

[Jim]

Where do we stand with the cap...there's no hard cap, correct?

There is no cap, but going over budget will cripple a team from extensions, offers and new personnel.

I blame Pawtucket.

I blame him!
