Originally posted by Friarfan View PostYeah, throw in the contracts they've given to Quentin: 2014 $9.5 mil, 2015 $8 mil and 2016 option for $10 mil and Street: $7 mil next year and an option for $7 in 2015 and they've really hamstrung themselves trying to make any moves this offseason. I think you can kiss Headley goodbye this offseason. Which is unfortunate since they'll get pennies on the dollar for what they could've gotten this past offseason after the very, very subpar year he's had.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

My best guess is that if they want to help some team like the Dbacks get into the playoffs, they'll run Volquez/Marmol out against them a couple times.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

how much PT can we expect Fuentes to get over the next month?After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Originally posted by revo View Posthow big a disaster has Chase Headley been this season? Cripes. From NL RBI king to putting up backup catcher-esque stats....
In other news, one of the sole offensive highlights - Will Venable - signed a two-year extension, which takes him through the end of his arbitration years. He really seems to have put it together, although he is still exposed to lefties.
With Maybin coming back next year and Senor DL (Quentin) signed for another year, do they go after a free agent (as promised)?
Starting staff has the makings of being pretty solid with Cashner, Kennedy and Ross locked in to the top 3. Luebke should be good to go form day 1.
This has the makings of a team that could compete for 3rd place next year. sigh

Originally posted by Friarfan View PostThis has been a disaster all over - For Headley not cashing in on his career (so far) year and for the Pads not moving him when they could've gotten max value for him. It'll be interesting to see what happens this offseason. Do they chalk it up to a lost year due to the broken hand in the early part and the bad back during the last part? I never thought he was the kind of player that he was last year but never thought he'd be this awful.

Originally posted by Don Quixote View PostI meant in terms of being at the top for several years running, like the Yankees, Cardinals, Tigers. There seems to be a lot more turnover in the NL West.
