Anybody that votes for Lee Smith and Jack Morris but omits Barry Bonds needs to be fired immediately.

Anybody get a chance to check out the new batting practice caps the whole league had to put out this year? espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/16228/first-look-new-mlb-batting-practice-capsWow, Braves bringing back the screaming chief face. Yikes. Kind of annoyed at the Mets using orange brims, but apparently most of the league is going for the contrasting crown/brim look. Just annoyed they're also doing it on their new alternate caps they're going to wear with their solid blue jerseys. They're solid blue! Wear your solid blue caps with them! HATE the Yankees ones. The gray makes more sense, but they still suck. I gotta get a Astros cap this year. Glad they went to their old logos.

Lee Smith's ONLY case is that he accumulated saves, he wasn't an elite level of reliever or anything. Jack Morris was a pretty good pitcher, but most of his case is built upon that one World Series game and the fact that he had a ton of wins on good teams in the 80s. There's also this argument that he "pitched to the score," which is why he was never a Cy Young winner or candidate or whatever. So that's amusing.

Yea, I read that long--ass argument that a sports writer fabricated on him. That argument is just as bad as someone resorting to playing the 'intangibles' card as part of someone's candidacy.

If you let the Goose in, then Lee Smith is just as worthy. Both were 2-3 inning save men who were successful at it.

Reports say the Marlins are willing to listen on offer for Stanton.
I think the 2 top teams for his services who have the prospects to get him are the Mariners and the Rangers.

Man would he be a perfect fit for the mets. I would offer Flores and Syndergard, for him. Someone tell me to wake the f*** up now, because theres no chance

I mean the mets could offer an attractive package. Harvey, Wheeler, d'arnaud, Flores probably could get the job done but the mets won't do it.

Oh I know, I am just saying the mets could produce a very attractive package. Flores is pretty expendable unless he can learn how to play 2nd decently. Plus if the rangers want Stanton, they got the pieces to get the Marlins interested with Profor and Olt +

I respect his views, but the writer of that article makes some really good points too.

Christmas has come and gone; yet the White Sox stand firm on what they have. They insist they're awaiting Spring Training before making any moves.
