Mystery Team Rumors
 

As the "Best Shape of My Life" is to spring training, the "Mystery Team is in on" is to the hot stove. (or at least that is what it seems like has developed the past couple of years) I thought we could track the Mystery Team rumors here.

From this morning we have:

I believe the Mystery Team was in on someone a couple of weeks ago,but I need to go back and check.

Edit: Ah the Mystery team was in on BJ Upton before losing him to the Braves.

It looks like a whole lot of mystery teams are in the mix for RA Dickey:

Unidentified Team is in on J Hamilton.

We will have to see if one of them makes a push and becomes the Mystery Team. I don't know if multiple unidentified teams is the same as having a mystery team which is in play and making a big push.

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

I think you can put them in the same category. It certainly makes for interesting intrigue in this thread :)

Greinke market down to 1. Dodgers 2. Angels 3. Rangers in that order with possibility of mystery team Tor?Cws?Bos?.Nats out..Braves unlikely

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

If the Mystery Team signs all these guys, they should have a solid pitching staff. So far:

Greinke
RA Dickey
Anibal Sanchez

A three-man rotation is probably not a great idea, though Dickey is a knuckleballer. They might get away with four guys. The major problem, however, is that Josh Hamilton is the only regular on the team's radar right now. We all know he's a better athlete than Billy Hamilton, but I don't think even Hamilton can do that.

Unless he's got ghost runners available.

(True story: my first real fist fight starting because of ghost runners. I'm guessing some of yours did as well.)

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

If the Dodgers don't get Greinke I'll be amazed. I don't want Josh. Drama attends him. Much rather be the mystery team that grabs Upton or better yet, Stanton. I mean mystery...dreaming...

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

I always thought Mystery Team meant Tampa Bay, and that's why their fans had such a hard time finding the stadium.

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

See, I thought the Mystery Team was Fred, Velma, Shaggy, Daphne, and the Scoob.

Yep. And when the ghost runner kicked my butt I figured baseballwas my sport, not boxing!

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

Is this the same Mystery Tour the Beattles went on about 50 years ago?

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

I don't know if this version is as Magical as that version 50 years ago. :p

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

I guess there was no mystery team involved in the Jason Bay deal to the Mariners. My question is, haven't the Mariners fans put up with enough?

Re: Mystery Team Rumors
 

Cut out that 50 years ago stuff, some of us feel old enough already without you people rounding years up instead of down.
