- enjoy Chris Carter swinging and missing all summer! -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:40 20
  - I will always remember picking up Chris Carter in Dingers, the season Will dropped him. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 10, 06:54
  - He's not going to start at 1st. We have three guys right now and if Bird is healthy he'll be playing there most games. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:47 12
    - He strikes out way too much and had an awful average but he still put up 41 hrs. That's not something to just ignore. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:48 5
      - if he would learn to walk more, he would have some use, but a .290 OBP is poopies. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:50 4
        
        For 3.5 mil, you take your chances. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:51 2
        
        he makes Trumbo look like Tony Gwynn. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:52 1
        
        Trumbo had 1.6? War last year. Carter had to have better than a .5 - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:56
        
        Heh. :-) Yup. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:51
    - he is a perfect DH, since he sucks in the field anyway. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:48 5
      - Yeah, I read that as well. We have Holliday slotted into the DH spot so I'm not really sure where Carter is going to fit. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:50 4
        
        Depth. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:52 3
        
        I assume they'll split the DH duties but if neither gets regular enough at bats I worry that neither will be able to get into a groove at the plate. - Krusty Feb 10, 06:55
        
        yeah, I am not sure you are gonna get 100 games of him at this point. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:53 1
        
        And Bird is an unproven rookie coming off a major injury. Let's not assume he will earn 150 starts - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:58
  - Did he sign? I didn't see it. -- nm - iSpam Feb 10, 06:46 5
    - Yup, he's a Yankee. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:47 4
      - I was kinda hoping we'd get him cheap. We don't really have a DH and it's not like we're trying to win anyway. -- nm - spamlet Feb 10, 06:48 3
        
        I would rather spend the $ and sign Wieters, as a young staff could use a good catcher. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:49 2
        
        I'm really surprised he's still unsigned. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:50 1
        
        his agent overplayed his hand, teams all went with cheaper options because 15 mil a year for Wieters is too much. - groiny Feb 10, 06:51
- ugh, didn't that stupid season just end? - ty97 Feb 10, 06:31 8
  - Should be 100 game season -- nm - Bacon Feb 10, 06:55
  - it's only like 180 games that each go on for three hours and fifteen minutes....nm - x Feb 10, 06:44

WaPo has a story about Flynn talking to Russia about sanctions before Trump took office. They have NINE sources - ty97 Feb 10, 05:43 6
- More and more I think the only thing that could make the Trump Administration Implode is the Intelligence Community. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 05:49
- [deleted] 4
  - I expect many/most (all?) of those sources are from Obama times - ty97 Feb 10, 05:47 3
    - If they had concrete information about Russia's interference with the election, they could have released it. - Inigo Feb 10, 05:56 2
