MLB Players That Are Still On The Market
wikipedia

J.D. Martinez finally has been signed off free agency to the Boston Red Sox for five years, $110 million dollars. Along with him, Eric Hosmer got signed to an eight year, $144 million deal. MLB free agency has been something else this year so far, there are still stars looking for deals.

The biggest players still on the market to me are Jake Arrieta and Mike Moustakas. In this article i will talk about where i think the best place for these guys to land would be in my opinion.

Arrieta had a rocky season after dominating in the 2016 season and helping the Cubs with their first World Series in over 100 years. However I think he has something to prove in 2018, a now veteran mentality with a ring that has one of the best sinkers in the game. To me he would be a perfect fit for the Philadelphia Phillies, a young group with a lot of talent such as J.P Crawford Jorge Alfaro looking for some guidance to put things together. A company that with a breakout year from Aaron Nola and proven players such as Odubel Herrera and Cesar Hernandez, the Phillies could have a very new look.

Moustakas had an incredible power year at the plate for the Royals with 38 home runs and 85 RBI's. However his fielding did show some concerns after tearing his ACL in 2016. The question is what contending team could use a left handed hitting third basemen? The San Francisco Giants is the right place to me. After already adding Andrew McCutchen, the Giants might be back in business if they are able to sign Moose. Madison Bumgarner needs to also get back on track after going 4-9 after four straight All Star seasons. He had a few injuries, but with this acquisition it might show that the organization is trying to put the pieces back to making this team World Series contenders once again.

A lot of other small pieces are still on the market looking to burst out on the seen. Some already have last season like Logan Morrison and Yonder Alonso having their first complete season. Things need to star soon, as teams have already reported for Spring Training. It's a matter of time before the MLB season will be upon us and I will have World Series picks and also All- Star predictions.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
