Around SBN: Ohio State And Florida Target 2013 Receiver Recruits

Weekly Poll

Since there isn't much Jay news to talk about this morning I thought we'd put up a poll, though the Yankee's offer to CC Sabathia does seem to open the discussion about another step up in player salaries, at a time when you'd have to guess that revenues are going to be down. I'd imagine Detriot Tiger revenues will be way down this year with the layoffs in the car industry. Yankees and the Mets are, likely, the only teams that will have a big revenue boost.

The huge contract offered to CC, 6 years and $140 million, will drive the price up for Burnett and in turn all the rest of the better free agent pitchers. I hope the Jays can afford someone.

Anyway, the movie poll has 'Major League' as the winner. Really? You guys think that was the best baseball movie ever? Oooookay fine. This week back to the best Jays polls, this time it is starting pitchers. We've had a number of good starters.

To be fair

the question in the previous poll asked “what is your favourite baseball movie,” not “what do you think is the best baseball movie.” Someone’s answer to the two questions should not be expected to necessarily be the same. I voted for Major League, though likely would not have voted for it had the question been worded differently.

Also, I’m very excited for the results of the SP poll. I think there are lots of great candidates, and the winner could be determined more based less on skill and more on which career attributes voters place the most emphasis. As for the CC deal, if that means that some team will give AJ $17mil/year for a fragile arm who puts up slightly-better-than-league-average ERA, that’s fine with me. But it’s true that this will also drive up the price for guys who the Jays may have been targeting, and we need money for bats as well.

Not as close as I thought it might be, so far.

Well, when I said favorite, I figured you guys would have better taste. Kidding, kidding…..
