Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Friday Night Hot Stove Links

  • You know the rumor mill is winding down when this is your best remaining free agent team.
  • According to Ken Rosenthal, the Indians have kicked the tires on Nick Swisher. I doubt anything happens as the Yankees have no in-house replacement for Swisher and the Indians don't really have anything the Yankees need.
  • Javier Vazquez may be back in 2012 after all.
  • Multiple sources are reporting that Scott Boras is seeking a 10-year contract for Prince Fielder. The Mariners, Nationals, Orioles, Rangers, and Blue Jays all appear to have legitimate interest, albeit not for 10 years. Which leads us to our question of the night:

That list on ESPN has Joe Saunders, Javier Vazquez, and Paul Maholm as three of the top five available starting pitchers (to go along with Oswalt and Kuroda) but no Edwin Jackson. In what universe is Joe Saunders (or any of those three, really) a better pitcher than Edwin Jackson?

I really really hope that they just forgot about EJax.

Unreal someone is trying to pass him off as being 275 lbs.

He’s probably closer to the 325 mark already.

I wonder who is further off of their real weight… Fielder at 275 or Sabathia at 290.

Am I the only one flagging this guy? 
Seriously, do we have to wait for the money shot or a "F*** THE SOXXXXXX!" before we ban him? Doubleteapot… BAN HIM!!

They are listed with an eight inch height difference…

Yeah, so no way CC is under 300.

He's obviously a historian studied in the ways of the franchise.

I really doubt it.

I’m 6’5" and I have been up to 270 in my life, and CC looks enormous next to me at my largest.

The day Prince Fielder gets a 10-year contract to mostly DH or play crappy 1B

Is the day I lol heartily.

That being said I believe Prince Fielder’s next 10 years will be better than Albert Pujols’s next 10 years.

Don't knock Prince

He was the only player to get on the field for all 162 games last year.

by ekwfan6 on Dec 23, 2011 8:23 PM EST reply actions  

He's durable now

but as he ages, his weight might cause wear and tear on his body. Fielder is at CC wieght but 8 inches shorter and plays every day rather every 5 days.

Hiroki Kuroda is indeed willing to leave California (and the NL). #RedSox and #Yankees among clubs pursuing him

Well I’m so glad we waited until AFTER Darvish…

I'm pissed about the Cards signing Beltran

Mostly since it makes my half-written 29 for 29 post COMPLETELY REDUNDANT.
