MLB Free Agent Tracker: Who They Are, Where They're Going - Baseball Nation
From Sullivan: a sortable table with free agents by position, team, contract, and more. I had ideas -- political beliefs, hot or not, been on a team with Tomko, etc ... -- but he was like "no it would be too pointless and unwieldy and that's stupid." So instead of something really special, you just get a useful, functional, pretty cool free-agent tracker. Enjoy.

The New Horizons probe to Pluto was taken out of hibernation mode on November 5th
It is currently a little more than 22 astronomical units (the average distance from the Earth to the Sun) away from Earth. The wake up is mainly for trajectory maintenance and systems checkout. However, a new and interesting scenario was recently raised. With the recent discovery of a new moon (currently called P4 but it will get a proper name soon enough), the engineering team had to take a look at the spacecraft’s path by Pluto and make sure that they weren’t going to crash into anything they didn’t account for when the spacecraft was launched in 2006 such as P4.
Hew Horizons recently passed the orbit of Uranus (LOL) but still has about 4 years until it reaches Pluto.
Also, I caught my first “IT” reference in 11-22-63. I knew King couldn’t resist throwing something like that in there. So far, I am enjoying the book quite a bit.

This is really exciting. I remember thinking the journey from Earth to Pluto would take a long time, but now we’re five years in and I think the time, in a way, has flown by. A lot’s happened here on Earth in the half-decade since New Horizons left.

Today's Weather
We again begin in Alaska, where that big low in the Bering Strait continues to make life miserable. Wind gusts up to 89 mph were recorded in some coastal communities on Wednesday, and the onslaught continues today, with high winds and coastal flooding likely. Wind chills could reach -40 F.
Rain and clouds over the Eastern Seaboard today, as a cold front moves east. The head of that front is a low centered just north of Lake Superior. That low will track northeast today, pushing rain into New York and New England, and taking moisture away from the Great Lakes states.
Clearing skies will be the rule today in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. But to the north, snow and ice will make for messy conditions in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Wednesday saw record snowfall is some parts of the Midwest, and that may prove true again today. Winter weather advisories have been issued for most of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Highs this afternoon will run ten to fifteen degrees below normal in the Deep South, as a cold air mass sinks southward. Highs will reach the upper 40s to low 50s in the Appalachians, with highs only in the mid-60s for the Gulf Coast.
In the West, quiet weather continues for now. But northern Californians, look to your west. He’s out there. Waiting. By Friday, he’ll be right on top of you. And there’s nothing you can do to stop him. It’s Berkman season.

I just checked the archive, and I started doing California-only weather maps on October 3. The national map debuted on October 12, and has been semi-regular since. All told, I’ve produced fourteen of the maps (though it seems like many more). I like doing it, and no one’s really complained about them. So I believe I’ll stick to it at least through the offseason. It’s almost a successor to the Porch, whose loss I still lament.

I think he looks okay. But any such judgment from anyone is by its nature subjective. My hm-ing was more meteorological in nature. A warm front is a relative term, so there’s no absolute degree level for the airmass behind it. The humidity I can work with, but in some places it’s semipermanent, so Grandy would never move. I’m trying to think what I can do with him.

The Giants offered Bloomquist a two-year deal worth more than $3.8MM before he re-signed in Arizona, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (on Twitter). San Francisco’s offer was worth $4.6MM over two years, according to Yahoo’s Tim Brown. The D’Backs remain interested in Aaron Hill.
I don’t even…..

True
The difference in tax rates would cut the relative value of SF’s offer by maybe $250K or so. Keep in mind, though, that Bloomquist will still have to pay California taxes for the 24 or so games he plays here, which narrows the gap a bit.
Fascinating
I wonder how much CA loses in tax revenue when the Rams left the state?
Still, look up a 4 BR house in Scottsdale and compare to Burlingame (sp?) or anywhere on the peninsula. I wouldn’t put anywhere at hour commute or over a bridge as comparable, but if he wanted an hour commute in AZ, he could go lower than Scottsdale.

Jon Heyman of SI.com expects Posada to sign with the Orioles or Marlins if he continues playing in 2012 (Twitter link). Posada knows he won’t return to the Yankees.

Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant’s report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley (“Curley”), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno’s immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.

Well if you read the statements coming out now the words Paterno himself used to describe what he was told are along the lines of “horsing around in the shower.” Now obviously, the average man would still be rightfully outraged by hearing that, but I think that falls into that category of “hearing what you want to hear.”

In this case, I feel like if the details are being reported accurately now, which they certainly appear to be, this is not a case of “hearing what you want to hear.” The margin for misinterpretation there is so slim that the only plausible scenario is a direct cover up. The only question seems to be at what point in the chain the conduct stopped being referred to as sexual. It sounds like Paterno may or may not have actually reported inappropriate sexual conduct to his superiors, though it sounds just as likely that everybody from Paterno up knew enough to make a coordinated effort to cover things up.

I believe there was a conspiracy. I believe McQuery described rape. I also believe Paterno will go to his grave believing that he didn’t know just how serious it was and that he did what he was required to do. I think he long ago convinced himself that it wasn’t full on rape and that McQuery wasn’t really sure what he was describing. If you repeat the lie back to yourself enough, you start to believe it.

kdl looked up the Pennsylvania statutes on this last night and they seemed broad, albeit a little vague. It was unclear if he had a legal duty under them because he isn’t in direct supervision of minors even though he is an educator, which is probably why the state has decided as of now not to charge him.
Regardless of what the state ultimately decides to do, I hope the Feds pursue prosecution of all of them.

Others will be unable to ignore the outcry of the rest of us. Others will here enough when Sandusky’s trial beings. Still others will turn on him when the school’s football program is left in ruins. Maybe others will find their outrage during the inevitable civil suits. He’ll always find friends in Happy Valley, sure, but he’ll have to look over his should the entire time for his enemies, too.

I posted this on another forum:
If you can suspend your disbelief enough to think that Joe Paterno didn’t fully understand or wasn’t given the details on Sandusky’s activities in 2002, you still have to address another issue with the timeframe. As of March 2011, the grand jury looking into the charges against Sandusky had been meeting for the prior 18 months. Paterno and Curley were both called as witnesses at some point during that period.
So, at best, Paterno had to know the severity of the charges against Sandusky circa March 2011, but most likely earlier than that. Yet, Sandusky was still appearing on campus and using the football facilities up through last week.
Seems difficult to reconcile that, if you’re a Paterno supporter.
I think there are plenty of known facts to make JoePa look seriously culpable here. Or, if there is any possible explanation available, I’d love to hear it.

And my question is not so much why would the Giants want him, but how has he even managed to last so long in the major leagues? His all-time best season in terms of WAR was 0.7, and that was some SSS shenanigans in his rookie year where he posted .455/.526/.576 in 38 PAs. By all metrics he’s a below-average SS and a terrible outfielder. He’s never hit .300 or put up a league-average OBP except in the aforementioned 38 PAs. He is the very model of a replacement-level player. Somebody’s going to pay him $2M per year?

He’s been in AAA at least once in each of the past four seasons and hasn’t had 200 major league PAs in any of them. Bloomquist has managed to stay in the majors the whole time.

Have you seen a rental car place where the shuttle wasn't free?
Phoenix takes an extra 20 minutes before your flight if you’re dropping a car.
In Des Moines, the rental car drop is literally about 25 yards from the front door to the airport. It’s about the same walk as getting dropped off by a cab at SFO. And there’s no lines or check in. You just park and drop the keys at a counter.
Picking up a renatal car is about 10 feet from the front door. It’s the damnest thing.
So I guess this means the Phillies making it past the 1st round of the 2010 post season was a fluke.
SJC is almost the same
you just walk across the street from the airport and there’s the rental car place.

The rental car desks are right by the baggage claim. You can watch for your suitcase and get your keys at the same time!
Yeah, that's how Des Moines is
And then you walk out the door and you’re this rental car lot that holds maybe 40 cars.
The only problem I can see is that once you drive off the lot (there’s not even a security person there to check your paperwork), you sufddenly realize that you’re in Des Moines.

But does it employ cool shit like this:
In some games of endurance football, a “rogue agent” may be instituted. This player belongs to neither team, playing only for himself.
At the beginning of each play, he can set up anywhere behind the line of scrimmage. His objective is to gain possession of the ball — whether by interception, fumble recovery, or punt recovery — and then run with the ball to either sideline. If he does so successfully without being tackled, he will be guaranteed a roster spot in an upcoming endurance football game. This is the primary means by which players enter the league.

GET ON IT SABEZ YOUR FIFTH STARTER IS STARING YOU IN THE FACE
1. Wei-Yin Chen, LHP: Chen is a true free agent, thanks to a clause in his NPB contract that allowed him to escape the league’s typical 10-year service time requirement, and is likely to at least explore his market in MLB. His velocity dipped mid-year in 2011 but bounced most of the way back by the end of the year, and he should sit in the low 90s with a potential out pitch in his slider if he’s pitching every fifth day in the U.S. He’s just 25 with plus control, meaning that his downside — if that velocity drop from this summer is a harbinger of something more — might be acceptable as a fifth starter or a plus lefty in the bullpen. But there’s the potential for him to be a mid-rotation guy if he can hold that higher velocity on an American pitching schedule.

He’s of Mexican heritage. And I’d like to think the Giants org is sophisticated enough to give him a heads up about the idea before moving forward with it in case they might inadvertently offend him. So I’m guessing he’s given his blessing on this.
It doesn’t automatically have to be offensive. If I were a player and they wanted to do a bobblehead giveaway during Octoberfest or Black Heritage night or (far less likely) during spring training for Mardi Gras, I wouldn’t be offended. But that’s just me.

That isn't tampering?
There’s also the scenario where the Jays work out a contract extension with Cain prior to the trade, similar to when the Mets acquired Johan Santana in January 2008.
The Giants can give the Jays a window to talk to Cain similar to the way the Sox got to talk to Gonzalez
or the way Halladay talked to the Phillies prior to being traded. It can net a team extra value so most will allow it. As far as the Jays Journal piece, I wouldn’t take it too seriously, they’re kind of the National Enquirer of Jays blogs.
