The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

I guess Ned Yost joins Charlie Manuel as guys you wouldn't think could lead a team to the WS title!

Add another guy to this list if the Nationals win the title in 2016! Dusty did have some great years but never could get a team to the WS! Cubbies was his best shot!

My mistake, just looked him up that's right his Giant team lost to the Angels! Great hire then!

Bryce Harper, the National League MVP, is younger than Kris Bryant, the National League Rookie of the Year.

Some random info for you there.

Quite surprised though that Blue Jays signed Marco Estrada as they did though. 2 years, 26 million.

Guy actually takes a cut in pay for year 1 over his qualifying offer - could have made 4 million more next season - to get the 1 extra year.

I really thought some hysterical owner would throw 5 years 80-mil at him. Something like that.

I don't know if sanity prevailed in the industry - since he's only had the one really good year - or he really likes Toronto so he gave us the hometown discount.

The Marlins just non-tendered their 2015 Opening Day starter. What a Mickey Mouse organization.

USA isn't the best sports authority go to, but here's their early win/loss guesses .....

Kansas City missing the playoffs and 3 hundred loss teams.

Doesn't sound right to me.

Didn't look into much and look for news from USAtoday site but their sports dept. isn't my go-to for sports! As bad as Phils are lots of new, young talent so expecting 95 losses at the most!

Bovada released their win totals for the season!

My parents went to his wake. They were treated like celebrities as the Carey family couldn't believe they would drive in from Michigan.
