whatever happens, I'm sure its done already...

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that a decision won't be reached in the next 9 minutes.

My sources say no deal...will come back. I said this a few weeks ago and it got deleted. I hope they are right

Brah.....If Mikie comes back I propose a celbration on the old Back 9.....you in

we'll march from the old back 9 to tiger bar where Tiger Todd will prepare a feast of crawfish for the entire team.

"thinking of putting on last nights entourage to waste the 30 minutes... anyone wanna give a hypothetical line up should Mahtook stay for shits and giggles?"

All right, Elleshoe - I'll play.

How about this?

1. Arby Fields, RF (hit .280 in a wood bat league out in California, and was 25-27 in stolen bases in 134 at bats - what is that, like 35 games?)

2. Raph Rhymes, LF (they've got to let him play a position, and LF is the only one I can find for him)

3. Mason Katz, DH (I look for him to blow up as a junior, along with Rhymes and Jones)

4. Mikie Mahtook, CF (him coming back throws the lineup into flux, as Jones doesn't move to center field like people thought)

5. Jacoby Jones, 2B (he ought to hit for a huge average, but the question is whether he fills out some and hits for some power as a sophomore)

6. Austin Nola, SS (looking for a MUCH better year out of him next year)

7. Jake Barrios, 1B (he can hit for some power, he hits for a VERY high average, and he's got the size and athleticism to play first base well; plus, he's got to be in this order somewhere)

8. Ty Ross, C (expect that he'll split time with Ty Moore, who is a better hitter and is also that rarest of birds at LSU; a left-handed bat)

9. Tyler Hanover, 3B (he could hit elsewhere, but he's an extremely valuable guy as a 9-hole hitter)

I'm thinking it just hasn't been released,

ive been following it all day, Mahtook hasnt even been mentioned. i see no reason for them to withhold whether he has signed or not.

its not like they are going to pay him way over slot or that there is something different with his signing.

Sorry if I missed it, any news on Cave?

MM was also considered a steal for the Rays at 31, everyone had him going higher.

Would be a bad move if they dont write him a blank check

JBJ agreed to terms with red sox
