Oh, and F James Bond. Bastard didn't give me my trailer before the movie. Although I didn't mind the movie unlike Corey. It was a bond movie. A little on the confusing side, but still a fun movie. Oh, and the Falcon looks pretty kick ass in the trailers.

Nice win by the Ducks on a very bad ice. Dobin was nails in goal.

Cherry picking at it's best. Boys look good so far. Keep it up.

When did Johnny Damon get traded to Seattle?

If you give a Qualifying Offer to a Free Agent, it's like offering him a one year $15.8 million offer. The player can accept or reject. As of this year, no player has ever accepted the one year offer. If a player rejects, then he is free to negotiate like any other free agent with other teams. The big catch with these players is, if a team signs them, they forfeit their lowest unprotected pick. I believe the protected picks are 1-10. Might be 1-15. The team that offered the QO (Former team) will get a sandwich pick between the first and second round. So in the Angels case, we did not offer a QO to Freese. So if he signs with another team, we do not get the sandwich pick. But if we sign a player that received a qualifying offer, even if it's for say 3 years/$30 million, we would lose our lowest round pick. And if we sign multiple, we would lose our next pick. I think there is a limit we can lose, and anything over would carry over to next season. So if we go crazy and sign like 5, we would lose so many this year, and so many next year.

I'm with you. Not a Heyward fan at all. I do find it funny that when Heyward has a bump in a contract year, it's he's that good. But for Cespedes, he was playing for the money. Heyward in the AL will become a boat anchor of a contract.

Kurds? You mean the group that our great allies and NATO member Turkey hates and thinks is a terrorist group?

They looked good tonight. Like what they should look like.

Dang, Jose is already 40. I was going to make a comment about being a backup catcher and a coach. Good for him though. I really liked both brothers while they were with the Angels.

I'd rather have Maeda over Kennedy. But really, if we spend the money for a true ace would be better. Murphy. Dear Angels. The last time you went after the postseason hero, it didn't work out so well and you didn't even give him a QO. Although 4/$56 isn't that outrageous a contract. I can live with Cespedes, because a #4 hitter is not all about OBP. It's about getting Trout home. People also have to remember that this was Cespedes' 4th year in the MLB. Considering he spent minimal in the minors, this might not be his peak yet. He might have finally made the adjustment to the MLB and seeing MLB caliber pitching.

Zobrist IMO is not an option for 3B. In 10 seasons, he has played a total of 8 games at 3B and started 5. Of all the positions he has played, he has played 3B the least. And his defensive numbers are all in the negatives for that position.

I disagree. I think we do have internal options at 3B. If you just look at 3B, it doesn't look good. But at some point, you have to trust in your minor players of Cowart and Kubitza. Now if we get a good LF and 2B, then developing the 3B doesn't look as bad. Of course if we don't get a good LF and 2B, it's pitchfork and torch time.

I am going to watch Spectre this weekend. I will be in a pissy mood if they don't show a SW trailer. I don't care if I have already seen the trailer 50 times already.

Look at what WAR has done to the AW.com main board economy. Adam is right.

And 2 pm today is the deadline for QO's.

On a side note. Heyward and Lackey were offered QO's.

Conspiracy Theories That Are Fact! Yeah, it's a slideshow, which is it's own conspiracy.
