Maybe we could trade TOBF. Not sure what we could get for him that might be worthwhile, though.

As noted by Buster (Olney) in his blog this morning, Buster Posey — South Georgia’s own Buster Posey, by the way — has played in 308 regular-season games, less than two full season’s worth, and won a rookie of the year award, a batting title, an MVP award and two World Series titles.
That’s pretty amazing. (The stats, not the fact that the writer and player both go by Buster.)

Peyton Manning was once (0-3) in his first three playoff starts. He had to answer the same questions that @M_Ryan02 will have to.

Manning did win playoff games number 4 and 5… lost #6 though. If Ryan follows the same path (and he’s been pretty good compared to Manning’s first 5 seasons, Matt better at limiting turnovers and completing passes), it means we’d get to the Super Bowl and lose… I could handle that.
I think.
Yes, Tony is yet to win a playoff game… shame really. Gotta send him out right.

Those still wondering about Delmon Young, forget the fact that he’s had off-the-field issues and hasn’t met expectations on the field since his huge 2010 season. The other problem, the reason reason I’d imagine the Braves haven’t pursued him, is that he’d be a nightmare defensively in left at Turner Field.

Lee- Maybe if we get some new owernship… lol. I can’t see the Giants letting him get away anytime soon though, he’s way too valuable of a bat. Versatile too, he can do more than just catch. He is the Giants franchise imo. Best catcher in all of baseball, one of the top5 young players, you don’t let that go.

You guys are so funny. Posey has managed to have a single healthy year, and caught fewer than 120 games even then, and he gets beaucoup man-love. McCann catches 130+ for five straight years (and came close to that even when hurt the last two), makes six AS games, finally has one year with an OPS under .800, and the same folks are ready to chunk him to the curb at 28.

At least, with Laird playing for a couple of weeks to open the season, people will get an idea of what replacing McCann with Bethancourt will be like, LOL. Let’s see how they like them apples!

Posey only caught those “few” games because he was able to play 1B as well… 29 starts over there. Mac doesn’t do that. It’s a way to keep his innings down, while still getting his bat in the game. Allows him to play longer as a player because he can move to other positions right now. I bet he could go and play every position but P and CF again like he did in college…
.314/.380/.503/.883 146 OPS+ for his career and is 25… but just like Mac, I wouldn’t sign him past 32-33 right now on a longterm deal either since his primary position is catcher. Only has the 1 freak injury, Mac has gotten hurt a bit it seems for a few years straight.

Teams Have Called Chipper; He’ll Stay Retired
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [January 7 at 1:04pm CST]
Several teams have called to see if Chipper Jones can be persuaded to come out of retirement and play another season, agent B.B. Abbott told Mark Hale of the New York Post (Twitter links). However, Jones will stay retired. The Yankees didn’t call about the 40-year-old, Hale reports.
Jones’ 19-year MLB career ended after yet another strong offensive season and a memorable farewell tour. The switch hitter posted a .287/.377/.455 batting line and hit 14 home runs in 448 plate appearances as Atlanta’s starting third baseman last year. Jones, an All-Star in 2012, will presumably be enshrined in baseball’s Hall of Fame once he’s eligible for induction. He said in August that he won’t reconsider his decision to retire.

He was for a good while there. Seems many forget that… and casually over-look the fact that he has been a starting major league catcher since he was 21.
As for Posey, guy was terrible in 2011. Giants should have dumped him after that awful season. Just a total embarrassment.

I know that Mac was good, not discounting that…. I’d say that he was better than Mauer. But now he’s 28-29, about to cross 30 as a catcher. Already has 8000 innings caught, will likely reach 9k this season. Buster at age 25 has caught 2036 innings, McCann passed that halfway through his age 23 season… more wear and tear on that body imo. Posey is a big up and comer right now, probably the best imo.
But I don’t want to turn this into a McCann vs. Posey thing, please.

If Chipper was closer to 500 HR I could see him coming back for another season… he’d have to go two more to get close, and there’s just no way his knees could handle it.
I think we’ll see him in a Braves uni again in a couple of years, probably as a hitting coach. He seems like one of those guys who was in the game soooo long that he’s going to have a hard time adjusting to normal life.

murph, I doubt Chipper would’ve wanted to take a chance at his lifetime batting average or obp to drop below .300 or .400. For a switch hitter, his consistency is a bigger accomplishment than the 500 homeruns. Although that would have been some pretty nice icing for the cake.

The Yankees want the draft pick/draft dollars they’ll get when Soriano signs elsewhere more than they want him back, no matter the contract.
A great strategy by Cashman. They will have three draft picks for Swisher, Soriano and their own for the 2013 draft.
They have constantly picked at the back of the draft and continued to give up picks for free agents and still have a better farm system then us. That’s at least one team that is constantly picking at the back of the draft and also giving up other draft picks(them and Boston).

Worst case scenario is he misses next season, Kirk Cousins is the starter. We’d have a upgraded and healthier defense along with a receiving corps with a year under there belts together.

BJ Upton in 2012: 28 HR, 78 RBI, .246 BA, .298 OBP, 169 strikeouts, $15 million in 2013
Upton is a real bargain (LMAO !) — Phillies Phanatic
One of them became a free agent this winter and the other didn’t. If Kubel were a free agent, he’d not be making $7.5 million in ‘13.
By the way, over past 3 seasons, Kubel made $16.85 million and had 74 doubles, 8 triples, 63 homers, 180 runs, 240 RBIs, 2 steals.
In that 3-year period, Upton made $14.825 million and had 94 doubles, 11 triples, 69 homers, 250 runs, 221 RBIs, 109 steals.
Oh, and Kubel is 30 and Upton is 28.
Upton is no bargain at $75 million over 5 seasons, but comparing him to Kubel is apples/oranges. And I haven’t even mentioned defense.

Couch Tater – we wouldn’t let a little 100+ year football feud stop us from ganging up on ND. Let’s keep it in the SEC!!

Bronces over Ravens by 4
Niners over Packers by 7
Falcons over Seahawks by 6
Patriots over Texans by 4
Falcons over the Niners after that, Patriots over Broncos… but that’s getting ahead of ourselves
Bama by 17 tonight, at least.

TOBF – 17! Dang, that would be a serious beat down.
Agree with all of your picks except GB will beat Niners.

BAS – A buddy of mine in St. Louis sent me this. Get ready to despise the Cards and their fans all over again.
Oh no they didn’t!!!
