McCutchen is the 3rd best player in baseball. It's not that far fetched for Jr to say that.

No clue, he said he'd hit lead-off or second if he was asked to, but he doesn't like hitting there. Said he prefers hitting in spots 3-6.Well then he doesn't like winning the ideal lineup would have your best on base guy in the two slot for the sluggers. Why doesn't he like it, because his meaningless RBI's suffer? That's such a stupid idea to have in your head and knowing how fragile most baseball players are, he'd probably be so riled up at being the 2 slot, he won't perform
Red Sox reliever Rich Hill, who arrived at spring training Wednesday night after staying in Boston due to medical issues with his infant son, Brooks, told reporters Thursday the boy has died.
"We had a son on Dec. 26, and he was born with multiple issues that we confronted and had to deal with as we were moving through the last couple of months at Mass General," Hill said. "Unfortunately he succumbed and he has passed. He taught us a lot of things, and unfortunately things didn't work out.

After the death of his infant son, Red Sox relief pitcher Rich Hill is looking to "get back into the normalcy of my profession and to be around a great group of guys and to just take that next step."
"My wife has been extremely strong. Our son, who is 2½, is with us here down in Florida, so we are going to enjoy our time here and obviously make the most of the opportunity that's here to present itself to play baseball."
Hill, a Milton, Mass., native who pitched for Boston from 2010 to 2012 and made 63 appearances with the Cleveland Indians in 2013, signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox during the offseason so he could remain close to his family.
He expressed gratitude toward the staff at Massachusetts General Hospital and said the Red Sox "have been tremendous."
Hill said he is glad to be back around his teammates and baseball after such a devastating period in his life.
"Excited to be here, to be playing baseball again and get back into the normalcy of my profession and to be around a great group of guys and to just take that next step," he said.
Hill also said he is ready to focus on pitching again.
"I fully feel that the opportunity is here," he said. "I think that was also with a blend of the opportunity that is here and obviously with our family situation that we had. With the opportunity that is here, [I want] to make the most of it and do everything I can on a daily basis to perform."
Thought he'd get a deal done soon but Ken Rosenthal is saying he's considering changing agents. I take it as he's frustrated having to wait around and he's not getting the offers that he wants or none at all.I feel Ervin Santana's completes his deal this weekend. 4/$50M to Jays or Mariners.
Can someone explain what the money part is that goes along with the qualifying offer/draft compensation? From watching different shows and reading different articles they say that its not really the losing of a draft pick that scares off teams but its the pool money that they lose that scares them off. How are they losing money?
Which is stupid because Dayton offered him 1 year 14 mil and he scoffed and wanted 2 year 30 mill contract minimum. Now he is begging for anything he can getI doubt Ervin signs a multi year deal now. He's gonna take a one year deal and go into FA again next year w/o the pick hanging over him.
Sources: Ervin Santana now seeking a one-year deal, and wants to sign as quickly as possible.
