Marlins Sign Heath Bell to 3 year, $27 Million Deal

[Party]

Let me also say, that I do not believe signing Bell in any way hurts our payroll flexibility in going after Reyes and Buehrle. I think the FO has decided this is the trio for next year. Pujols doesn't want to come here and Cespedes is out of their price range. This is where the eggs are going.

Glad we go to Philly 4 times a year.

God, fuck you.

Best case scenario, we have a lead going into the ninth in half of the games in Philly because they're really fucking good.

So you're saying we should avoid signing him because maybe he'll pitch in four or five games and possibly pitching poorly?

You suck so much.

I almost think CJ is more likely than Beurhle, but the larger point remains.

That sample size is convincing.

Well, I expected it to be around 24.21 based on mibs post

There was a fella with a great fu manchu who wore camo undershirts and had 40 saves and a 2.10 ERA for the Marlins as a 37 year old

If I had to pay 9 million for those stats, I would puke

-Don't get excited we're talking to free agents because we haven't signed them yet.
-Don't get excited when we sign the free agents.

Summary: don't get excited

[jOOj]

I'm excited as fuck. Deal w/ it.

[Ramp]

Good stuff.

I find it utterly baffling how critical mibs is of other players. The way she is with Volstad, she fits more with the women who watch baseball for the asses and cute guys.

I heard once there was a closer for the Yankees who put up 4 straight sub-2 ERAs from ages 37 to 41.

I doubt that's true though.

[jOOj]

Heath's ass was mighty fine on that all-star game popup slide.

[Ramp]

It's cool to see the franchise spend monday. Not a fan of spending that much on a closer, but Heath Bell is cool as hell and is not one for ruses.

There was a nice Asian gentleman who once put up 81 saves with a 1.95 ERA over three years for the Streetcar Dodgers of Los Angeles. He was ages 36-38 over those three years, WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT HE WAS

Nomo was his name-o!
