Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

I agree with everything in this post from Amazin' Avenue and can't see why the Jays were interested in this guy.

for the Jays

if they had acquired Ibanez during last season when they were trying to, they wouldn’tve had to give up picks. In fact, they could have gotten picks when he left, which would’ve been nice. Also, we can play him at DH, so we at least save the benefit of his lousy D. Just a couple of reasons he might be more appealing to the Jays. I do hope we stay far, far away from him on the free agent market.

I thought the quote about how he’s in better shape than many 25 year olds was funny. Surely he is, just not better than a lot of 25-year old professional baseball players.

with Ibanez at DH…

Neither do I in the abstract

but since he’d cost a draft pick I’d prefer Giambi, whose time missed means he isn’t even type B.

what about Bradley?

he will likely cost less than Giambi per year and might be better, but is a Type B

also

as a switch hitter, he will help more against lefties than Ibanez or Giambi.

We don't lose a draft pick for type Bs anymore, so that's fine too

in fact, better if he stays healthy.

right

the team that lost the player gets a sandwich pick, but the signing team doesn’t lose anything
