Yoenis Cespedes: Signs w/ A's for 4/36

[Namaste]

I will have to google "memes" when I get the inspiration. I seriously don't know what that means.

[Chewford]

Internet fads.

[Namaste]

Was Ramp being sarcastic?

[Ramp]

not in the least

things like "hugh" and "we" are your little memes

the "potm" shtick

[Namaste]

Ah yes. We can thank whiskey on Fri nights (and sometimes Sunday nights) for many of those.

[jOOj]

We'll always have trim.

Wasn't Madman a pretty HUGH Maybin fan too?

Cespedes says six teams have shown interest

Cespedes, who is awaiting word from Major League Baseball on his status as a free agent after defecting to the Dominican Republic, has worked out for most teams, but he said the most interest has come from the Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers and Miami Marlins.

Please someone else sign him.

[Big Z]

Because of the one bad game he had? The guys hasn't played ball for what, over a 6 months-1 year? He will be ok.

Now if you tell me Cespedes or Fielder, my choice is Fielder 100%. Fielder is an immediate impact bat.

[Metes]

There is no way we aren't signing him

0% chance

It's not because of one game. It's because he will sign a decent size contract and I don't expect him to be an impact player for at least 2 years. I doubt whoever signs him keeps him in the minors long enough for him to adjust to higher quality pitching. Not to mention he isn't young enough to warrant extended seasoning in the minors.

What if I told you Cespedes AND Fielder?

I hope the Marlins don't sign him

I think he will see 3 months in AA/AAA, but that's about it
