SF can now rest peacefully.

NO HE CAN'T. WE HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BRUNEY AND BURNETT. WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT ALL TIMES OR ELSE IT PROVES THIS ORGANIZATION IS A JOKE.

THIS ORGANIZATION IS SO CLOSED MOUTHED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT RIZZO HAD FOR BREAKFAST. WHAT A freakING BUNCH OF BUMS.

JMW IV · « **Reply #1327 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:18:33 pm »

WHY HASN'T RIZZO PROVIDED ME, SPECIFICALLY, WITH HIS ENTIRE ITINERARY, IN DETAIL, FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS????? WTF?????

OK, now they know where the players heads are at, and they can work out a deal. Chill.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1331 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:52:01 pm »

$150,000 difference for Burnett. $350,000 difference for Bruney.

That's nothing. Just pay up and make it happen.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #1332 on:** January 19, 2010, 06:19:50 pm »

Or not.

Do you even know how negotiations work? Both sides present offers and they usually settle in the middle.

Relax.

His fastball topped at 91. He pitched smoothly and cleanly, looked good. Threw one session of all fastballs, one of all breaking balls.

Looks like the Nationals only sent one scout. http://twitter.com/ed_price/statuses/7959205594

Should help his chances of getting a good deal.

Hmm. I wonder how healthy he is.

Since Fangraphs started tracking pitch speeds, Sheets has sat around 93 (92.7) for the last seven years.

Topping out at 91 (most probably were high 80's) would be a pretty noticeable difference from what he was just two years ago.

It was just a workout, and preseason at that. I wouldn't read too much into a couple MPH.

Ah, I see, the other 1.5 were on vacation. It all makes sense now.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #1348 on:** January 20, 2010, 01:07:38 pm »

Why must they do something every single day to please you?

You seriously have the patience of a 3 year old.

Relax and let Rizzo do his job.

How do you expect Rizzo to be able to do his job if he isn't getting regular feedback from SF?
