Around SBN: NFL Safety Ryan Clark's Motivational Workout

Considering the lack of starting pitching depth and the not totally certain status of Santana he would not be a bad pick up. Three other teams are interested in him and the Mets have limited funds so I'm not optimistic that the Mets will sign him.

He was on my wishlist last year before they signed Cappy and Young

so I’d definitely be interested. He had a pretty decent year peripherally and if they could get him on a minor league deal as depth, that’d be a coup.

I'm all for Jeff Francis

He’d be a damn fine pick-up

Son,

you need to work on the definition of a “damn fine pick-up”

One day, this team is going to kill me.

Depends

Does he want to work for free?

He's better than Gee which I guess makes it not a bad move.

It’s hard to get excited about upgrading our replacement level starter with a guy who will get 1 WAR or blow out his arm.

So basically Francis is more or less a younger Chris Young

I would be happy with that.

Put Gee in AAA until needed.

Eh. His peripherals are better and he's not anywhere near as injury prone

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
