If you haven’t seen this yet, you should check out the Baseball Reference page for RAJ.
Apparently, somebody at Beerleaguer sponsored his page and the following ad appears in a yellow panel across the screen.
“RAJ’s friends at Beerleaguer sponsor(s) this page.
BRef wanted $15 to sponsor this page, but in Ruben’s honor I ponied up $75 on a three year deal with a vesting option. 2015 can’t come soon enough!”
If you use an ad blocker, disable it before going to the page. Here’s the link.
As you may have heard, Yasmany Tomas has reached an agreement with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a 6 year, $68.5M contract. The Trade Rumors link is below.

I’m sure you need a place to vent about the Phillies’ inabity to sign Tomas, so here it is. But, really, after we’ve heard so much about Tomas breaking the $100M barrier for a Cuban signee, and with all the teams who were supposedly “in” on him (SanDiego, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Arizona, San Francisco, and some “mystery” teams) doesn’t it seem odd that he only got a little over $11M/year?
Let the bashing begin.
