Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

FanShots

I stumbled on this this morning...Brandon McCarthy taking over "Hot Clicks" for a day.

I figured I would keep reading when he referred to himself as "some gangly white guy who plays baseball for a small market team".

If you scroll down, the three worst things are worthwhile, as is the photo of HIS wife and some Twitter folks he follows.

Enjoy!

Of course, that may be a good thing. Also, I had to post it quick before we trade for A.J. Brunette.....

From SI.com Oil Can Boyd admits to pitching while high on cocaine. Will he be the first of many? How long until Dave Parker and other Pirates cop to this? Either way, I'm not impressed. Pitching on cocaine is child's play when someone's thrown an LSD no-no

Of course its ridiculously early, but this at least gets some of the names out there for some people. They published a top 5 HS players yesterday I believe (I think it had Giolito, Weichel, Correa, Fried, and Trey Williams...surprisingly no Buxton). Either way, the college piece is interesting because he makes it sound like Marrero could fall a bit to the Bucs range, which I wouldn't mind. Have at it.

Ever wondered what beer your favorite MLB team was? I didn't either, but this is fantastic.

Garrett Jones is, in fact, the guy NYY want in any Burnett deal with the Pirates,but PIT not interested in moving Jones. No traction so far.

Yankees know they will have to eat a huge portion of $35 million owed to Burnett in any deal -- maybe in $25m to $27m range.

IMO: If the Pirates negotiate NYY down to where they pay $8mish total to Burnett over next two years, they could get really good return.

I apologize in advance to Charlie for this shameless self promotion. Do with it what you will.

A while ago there was a post about Xfinity's Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest. Yada yada yada, I entered and now I'm up for voting. If I'm Top 5 in voting, I'll advance to a "tryout" weekend thing and hopefully win the job from there.

This would mean the absolute world to me, the timing with me about to graduate is perfect. Like many of you, I am an avid Pirates fan. Being a part of this community has really brought my understanding of the game to a new level and I feel like some of those principles have trickled into other parts of my life. I've truly learned a lot from here and am thankful for it.

It would be great if you guys could vote for my entry. I don't have much to offer aside from an immense amount of gratitude and the promise to not mindlessly bash the Pirates like some of our, uh, other media members in this town.

EDIT: Voting was down and they say it will be back up between 6-7. Methinks some videos will be removed because the rules were pretty strict about trademarks and whatnot, but we'll see.

EDIT 2: Voting is back online. You have to "Like" Xfinity's page first in order to vote. The link above is a direct link to the video, but I think when you "Like" their page, it doesn't redirect you to it. Simple solution is to click the link, like their page, then open up my link again and hopefully that takes you right to my video. I'm Greg A.

We fall somewhere between 7th and 9th.

Same ole' slogan... top heavy system.

"Total speculation: I wonder if a Garrett Jones/A.J. Burnett swap might make sense, with the Yankees eating about 90 percent of owed Burnett."
