California signed SP Dave Porter to a terrific extension considering his performance.

He's been great for California the past two years. My fear would just be the "wrecked" injury history. He's 32 and has roughly gone 450 innings without an injury.

It's so little guaranteed money it feels well worth the injury risk.

All the money is guaranteed...but I agree, it's not a lot.

I held onto him for a long time. He gave us two decent relief seasons, but was always grumpy that he didn't start.

Man, those DEN to PAW and TOR to PIT picks are rough for those teams. I think PHI has a great chance to add a nice young, impact prospect to a team that should bounce back as playoff contenders in 2013.

I couldn't figure out how Pittsburgh acquired Toronto's first. Anyone know?

So 4/3 has been requested and approved.

I'll run the 4 tomorrow AM...then results will be up. I would like to run the 3 Sunday PM to keep the SIM schedule up. If this is an issue we can go Sun/Mon...just let us know.

Oh, good catch. I didn't think to see if the pick came through another team. Hell of a haul for Rocha.
