Welcome to Vegas, Dave Dunham. Excited to add one of the best FA pitchers available at such a bargain. He'll slide into the bottom half of our rotation quite nicely.

We now have room to move a SP if we wanted to, so ask on Pulido & Clarke. Also still like to move Castillo and an OF.

His demands dropped from $14M to $5.2M??

1B TJ Dunn has bought into the Pawtucket plan and is on board for a hometown discount.

Haraguchi is being a pain in the ass, but they can't all be nice guys I guess.

We signed Tom Estes. Our outfield is bonkers defensively.

I always want Estes. If only the freaken kid would just stay healthy.

End of a boring offseason for us. We did some bargain basement shopping along the way to give more options in the pen and some bench depth, More like rearranging the furniture than getting a new sectional, but we were pretty limited budget wise this year.

Well if Carlos was all in, so were we. We signed the big German Jesse VonEttingshausen to a one year pact to set our pen. We feel he gives us one of the best four headed monsters in the game. Knight/Raymer/JV/Tubby should be lights out at the end of games...and for a heck of a lot less money than some of these other relievers got.

We're ready for spring to begin, and to create some new Pilsner rivalries.

Not one of our better off-seasons. We'll see how we do, but we may be big time sellers in 2013.

95 wins, not bad for basically trading away a bit of depth.

He plays left field for us.

Anecdotal nonsense, perhaps, but I feel like left fielders suffer fewer injuries than center fielders in OOTP.

I wish you can convince LF Hidetoshi Haraguchi about that. Put the prick in left twice and got injured both times. Gonna be a DH this year for obvious reasons.

I meant left field compared to center field—not left field compared to DH!

The bar is set low this year in Toronto. Yes 41-121!
