“Heath Bell – Signed with the Miami Marlins to replace Juan Carlos Oviedo, who wants to know why the Florida Marlins can change their name but he can’t. ” Best thing I’ve read on the internet in a long while. Well done!

@Grey:

well , when you catch up ,
i’m setting the over/under on a little hantz attempted murder charge
on ‘coach’ , within an 18 month time-frame , at 11% … (1 in 9) .

if i was ‘coach’ , i probably wouldn’t be sleeping too well …
for a whole variety of reasons .

@Steve: Wow, would've never have guessed he was still going. Definitely an innings eater.

Decent innings though.

@Grey: what are the odds that , when it's all over , little hantz hunts down coach and kills him in his sleep ?

Who wouldn’t want to go to Cleveland?

@Tony: Supposedly they have an offer out now that "people will be shocked about" so I'm thinking Pena. @Grey: They're getting frustrated with LaPorta so a vet like D Lee is a very real possibility.

@chata: Looks like a great fit, and I think ups Street's fantasy value coming into 2012. Plus, Maybin can handle it. That's so Maybin!

@Steve: Doesn't pay for the Marlins if everyone knows Hanley wants out, so they could be lying about wanting to move him. @chata: I like that theory.

IF the marlins signed reyes with the hidden agenda of giving
hanley the boot , then maybe a good trade partner would be the giants .
seems a good fit .

member that girl that you just couldn’t shake , so you arranged things
in a way so that she broke up with you … so that you could feel like
less of a cad ?
well , if hanley comes up demanding a trade ,
i’m cust kayin’ .

@Grey: Well, Rosenthal has just tweeted that the Marlins prez says that's all bullshit. No new contract request and he's not being traded. I don't know who to believe anymore.

Olney just told me that Hanley wanted a restructured deal, Marlins told him to piss off and are now looking to trade him…

@royce!:

huston street has always been my favorite closer .
have been following his career since his days at the u of texas .
believe him to be one of the first true closers …. that’s what he started
out as … never pretended to be anything more .
it’s been nice that he’s always been under-valued , it seems , by
fantasy-baseballers …. so , i’ve always had him on my teams .
and , on years where he hasn’t been hurt , he has delivered the goods .
there seems to have been a noticeable increase in his fly-balls and
home runs (given up) … though some saber guy may dispel my beliefs ,
as it is based on observation and not research .
anywho , that san diego ballpark should play right into his hands .
just tell maybin to be “on his toes” .

@Doug Ault: Yeah, could be. Don't think the Jays need him anyway. @royce!: Ha! Yeah, it's a decent enough deal for Street. @BookieBob: Thanks! Ha -- yup, total puke.

@Grey: So good today! Stank Fartcisco, Alyssa Milano, Groupons! @Tony: Albert stays in StL. He (and his wife) are invested there. I'd love to see him go to Miami - just don't think it will happen. Fielder is a possibility for Miami, but he's NOT going to Seattle. They are just tire kicking, and can't afford him anyway. Love that Hanley is throwing a hissy fit about Reyes and 3B! What if they sign Fielder? The guy doesn't live up to being the franchise player, then is a baby about it when they bring in players to help him win. Such a puke.
