Nice comfortable sturdy product!
I was looking for counter height leather chairs with no adornment. After looking at different sites and at hundreds of choices, I decided to spend a little more and buy these. I like the comfort for all size people chair. Though there may be a weight limit. The low back chairs are great as its function is what's important and does not stick out too much above counters. The chairs were well packed. One of the best things is I did not have to put them together. Worth the extra $ for that alone. You hear so many horror stories about that. Out of the six I bought only one was a little off kilter, not worth my time to return it. That's why I gave it a four star not a five. Would highly recommend this product.Read More
Perfect addition to my kitchen breakfast bar!Read More
2 years after buying...they still look greatRead More
I ordered four of these counter stools. One was damaged in shipment and was quickly replaced by Overstock. They have been in use for about 15 months and still look like new.Read More
Great, stylish stools
My husband and I looked online and went to several stores to find bar stools. We didn't want to spend more than $250 for a set of 2 stools. We wanted a nice stool, some style, comfortable, but not $400. I'm glad we found these. Functional: The backs stick up far enough for you to actually lean on them, but not so far that they stick up above the counter. Our breakfast bar is close to our bkfast table and we didn't want the area to look like a furniture store with chairs showing everywhere. The leather feels soft yet thick/scratch resistant. The chairs are also quite cushioned and have a decent sized seating area for larger rears. :) Style: Looking at the chairs from the back, you can see the styling and they look great. We have a traditional looking house and these add a little flavor to the room but are not soooo diff from everything else. perfect. The finish is nice, no scratches. The leather is rich in color. All is a very dark brown. Shipping/packaging: Arrived earlier than expected in a Very large box---pre-assembled. Cannot beat that! The chairs came with 2" swatches (I suppose for patching or to match to other furniture). they also came with pads for the feet. Overall: These chairs are sturdy, quality leather, stylish, and affordable. Definitely recommend. They are much better than a typical $75-$100 bar stool you'd see in popular retail stores.Read More
I really like the look of the barstool. It looks very sleek. Just an FYI the seat is brown leather but the legs are black. I was surprised at that...I thought both were brown. Also, we had one barstool break after one week. However, we have small kids and they step on the bottom part to get up in the chair and the bottom part broke. It appears it is just glued rather than bolted. I would not recommend this barstool if you have small children.Read More
Great stools for counter-height island!
Thanks to the many reviewers who came before us, we overcame our fears of ordering furniture on-line and went ahead with these stools and couldn't be happier. As part of a kitchen remodel we put in a large counter-height island for our family of six. The low-profile backs are perfect, they come just to the top of our granite but do not block sight-lines, yet are high enough to provide needed backstop for adults and our kids alike. The cappucino brown leather is very nice quality, wipes down well and seems very durable. The construction is very stable, no rocking at all. We were very impressed with how they were packed and shipped, absolutely no blemishes at all. From all the shopping around we did, these, in our opinion, are the best quality and value stools for counter-height islands that are out there.Read More
Cosmopolitan Dark Brn Leather Counter Stools
We have been using our bar stools now for about a month. They came packed extremely well. No damage and already assembled ;-) We are very pleased with how comfortable they are. The low back helps them to complement the seating area but not overpower it. Someone had commented that the foot bar across the front was not wearing well and getting scratched. My husband went to the big box store and bought a 3ft. piece of clear plastic wall guard corner protectors that comes in 3/4" width. lHe cut a piece to the exact length needed then used very small finishing nails to tack down each end of the strip. We have wonderful protection from our shoes, and the strip is clear so it isn't even noticable. Just make sure you use VERY small finishing nails so you don't split the wood when you tap them in. We get many compliments on how sleek the stools look. We are very satisfied.Read More
positve review
I have been looking for counter stools to match my existing kitchen chairs. and it is the perfect match ! The leather looks luxurious and I love the half back. My kids are using them everyday... the only thing I noticed is that the legs are a little flimsy and my daughter have already knocked it off to the sides twice. I like the idea that it is already assembled and that was my sellling point. I dont like to assemble neither does my husband and it was packaged securely and received it in good conditionRead More
Questions & Answers
Hello Kwlmom, this stool does not have a chrome plate on the footrest. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hi, I see that the depth of these stools is listed as 20 inches. Does that include the back rest? Or does it just measure the depth of the actual seat?
Hello chrystina68, the depth listed is the overal seat depth including the seat back. Thanks for shopping with us!
I need 3 stools can you buy a single stool?
Hello CB, unfortunately the stools pictured are not sold seperately. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
This is my third attempt to find quality stools. I chose these because they are real leather, the right measurements and they had the best reviews. Customer service has been wonderful in helping me return the previous chairs so I am willing to try again.
I needed to replace a few that the leather was peeling.
These will compliment the burnt red chairs I purchased last year. Great quality for price, although price did increase by fifty bucks.
Already have these stools and need to replace two that we have had for many years
We have 4 of them presently. We like the look of them. However the faux leather has not held up and is peeling on the sides
We presently have 4 of these stools. We like the look of them very much. However, the faux leather on the sides of two of the stools has started peeling.
I liked the style and color. Concerned about the comments about the legs not holding up though.
Real leather. Perfect height.
Based on the reviews.
I purchased 2 of these exact same stools from Overstock about 2 years ago and was glad to see that I was able to purchase 2 add'l ones today. They're extremely sturdy and very contemporary looking. Visitors agree with me that they provide wonderful comfort.
I need low profile counter stools and these look perfect....
I just received these stools and they are PERFECT I needed 2 more to fit the space.....great quality!!!
I like the back height of the chair and the rich dark leather.
I've had them before and liked the size and depth.. Mine are just worn out. I would prefer real leather but the ones you have are deeper and would nit work as well for my space
we remodeled our kitchen and this is the exact height we wanted. My husband wanted no back. I wanted backs on the bar stools. This was our compromise.
I would like to ask an odd question, since I want to put these stools underneath an 18.5(D) inch counter table. I don't mind that the bar stools will stick out a little bit - but may I have the measurement of the space between the legs, from the inside of the front leg to the inside of the back leg. I want to make sure they will sit-down correctly (the table has cross bars under the table near the floor). Hope this question makes sense.
Hello april, depending on the height of your counter table will determine if these will work fine. The height from the floor to the seat is approximately 26 inches high, you will need to measure the height from the floor to under the counter table. The measurements between the legs of the chair is approximately 18 inches deep front to back and approximately 14 inches from side to side. I hope this information helps you, have a great day!
Do these come in a shorter height?
Hello kay, unfortunately, these do not come in a shorter height. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hello. Do you anticipate getting these stools back in stock? If yes, do you have a projected date on when you think you will have them again? Thank you.
Hello Interested in brown leather, items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are these stools genuine 100% leather?
Hi Cautious shopper, these are genuine 100% leather. Thanks for shopping with us! Sherri R.
Yes they are. Not the soft and supple ( more expensive) leather, but very very strong and durable. I live in hot and humid Florida and 90% of the year we're sitting on this leather with shorts or dresses and since the leather breathes (unlike the man-made kind), we do not get wet and sweaty legs.
What is the depth of the seat? I wonder how much of a counter space I would need to push chair in.
Hello Sunset559, this seat depth is 20 inches. Thanks for shopping with us!
Does the chair seat and back come in other colors?
Hello violet326, yes, they are available in several other colors. To see them all, please key in "Cosmopolitan stools" in the Overstock search box. We have them in red, cream, and black. Thank you for checking with us.
I just bought 4 and loved them so bought two more. Very comfy for even the big guys in the family. Really nice leather.
What are the dimensions at the outer edges of the feet (width and depth)?
Thank you for shopping with us libbysimon1. The legs are 16 1/2 inches wide and 20 1/2 inches deep. They were measured from the outer edges. Have a great day.
Does this counter stool come in white leather?
Not that I know of
Hello marshika, yes the stool does come in white leather. Please use the link below to view the colors we have available. Thank you for shopping with us. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=Cosmopolitan+Leather+Counter+Stools+%28Set+of+2%29&SearchType=Header
Does this style come in a seat height of 30" or close to it since we need them for a standard bar height.
I bought counter size and we love them they also come bar size. I used them for seating for my kitchen island
How difficult is it to "tip over" these chairs? I have a two year old and am concerned about him pushing off the counter and tipping the chair over.
Hello lva123, The Cosmopolitan Dark Brown Leather Counter Stools (Set of 2) are top heavy so be careful with your two year child. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Yes, good point. The chair is not that heavy overall, but more top heavy than not. I placed felt protection on the bottoms of the legs, and if you grab a leg as a child would, the chair essentially slides on the wood flooring. it's more prone to sliding than to tip over if the legs are pulled. if the front part of the seat is grabbed it will not tip over. if the SIDE part of the seat is grabbed it is likely to tip.
My 2 year old hasn't tipped them yet :)
Greetings! Are *all* the wood parts hardwood, or just the legs? I'm concerned about formaldahyde off-gassing from wood products. Thank you.
Hello lamtron! Only the legs are hardwood. Thank you for shopping with us. :)
how much does one stool weigh?
Hello cmwatson3, the shipping weight for these is 47 lbs, each stool will me around 22-23lbs. I hope this will help you. Thank you for shopping with us.
There are members of my household who are [unfortunately] 250 lbs or more. What's the weight limit for these awesome stools?
Hello, thank you for contacting us. The weight limit for these stools is 240 lbs.
My son weighs about 220, he says they are comfortable, I wouldn't want someone to much larger to sit on them.
Yes- they are "dowel" construction- no screws. Legs/frames are tightly fitted. They can hold more then the 240 they're rated for...
Can these be purchased individually instead of set of 2?
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, this item is only available for sale as a set of two on our site. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
What are the seat dimensions.
Thank you for your interest. The seat dimensions are: 26 H X 16.5 W X19 D. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
is it real leather or bonded leather? thanks.
This is real leather.

Lunch in the Loop can be a difficult task. Long lines, chain restaurants, and lengthy treks in the pedway. That?s where Rich Levy comes in, driving one of Haute Sausage?s two food trucks to convenient locations throughout downtown and Hyde Park. Rich draws upon his South African roots, the traditions of his adopted midwestern home, and his parents, who were sausages, to create his rotating menu of gourmet sausages rooted in an Afro-midwestern fusion of flavors. The truck offers sausages in full or half sizes, allowing guests to sample the classic Sheboygan brats and the eccentric okra-alligator sausage in one filling meal.

The hotel was centrally located and very close to major attractions such as Macy's in Herald Square and the Empire State Building.
I did not enjoy the hot breakfast selections very much. The egg dishes were under seasoned and bland. Another thing I didn't enjoy was the street noise from the nearby bars and there was road construction overnight.

2004 BMW 325Ci Q&A
2004 BMW 325Ci Question: Rattling noise at around 2200 RPM?
Happens when accelerating/decelerating - always right at 2000-2200 RPM. Most noticeable from a stoplight, accelerating in traffic, but have heard it at high speeds as well. They thought it was a problem with fuel pump & even replaced the entire fuel tank under warranty to address issue, but it is still there? - CRIDas

Kingston Council members learned last week the city will be able to pay some extra expenses from two big projects with additional money from the grant/loan programs that funded them.
It might not be scrupulously accurate to call them "extra" expenses.
City Manager Jim Pinkerton said the roughly $66,000 project to build a waterline across the Clinch River was supposed to have been part of the Rural Development Administration's grant/loan for the now-completed Rockwood waterline.
A new employee may be overseeing Harriman's numerous hospital buildings, including the main facility that may be left empty when Covenant Health moves Roane Medical Centers' operations to Midtown early next year.
Council member Kenyon Mee developed a job description for a new employee for council to consider.
"Now it is getting down to the nitty gritty," he said.
"It is going to be a problem, and someone needs to be in place before they leave," agreed Mayor Chris Mason.
The criminal case involving William Edward "Eddie" Lee is not something the District Attorney General's Office encounters on a regular basis.
"That's a sales tax evasion case, which just by that fact alone makes it unique," Assistant District Attorney General Bill Reedy said. "In my 37 years of being in this business, I've maybe dealt with three to four of those."
Lee owns Big E's Quick Mart in Rockwood, the Go Mart in Harriman and Big E's Tobacco Outlet in Kingston.
Should Rockwood City Council have approved the penalties and interest paid to the IRS?
Some on Rockwood City Council felt the payments should have come to council for a vote.
"It is legal. It is a general operating expenditure," said city attorney Greg Leffew about whether the city council had to approve it first.
Councilman Mike Freeman disagreed.
"To me that is not a general operating expenditure," Freeman said.
"I would like to know where the money came from," Councilman Bill Thompson asked.
One former Harriman resident wants to share what he's learned over the years for career success.
Mel Clemmons also wants to share the opportunities given to him by giving out significant start up grants to a handful of individuals that show they have a winning goal, whether a new business venture or going back to school for a new career.
William Edward "Eddie" Lee pleaded guilty to three counts of sales tax evasion in Roane County Criminal Court on Friday.
Lee owns Big E's Quick Mart in Rockwood, the Go Mart in Harriman and Big E's Tobacco Outlet in Kingston.
He entered a guilty plea for each business.
Criminal Court Judge E. Eugene Eblen sentenced Lee, 44, to eight years probation. Lee was granted judicial diversion.
He was also ordered to pay $280,752.52 to the state of Tennessee in restitution.
Breelyn Woodward loves everything about Dyllis Springs Elementary School.
"She just hates that she has to leave it after this year," grandmother Vickie Gouge said.
Breelyn, a fourth grader, and Kansas Butler, a pre-K student, helped officials celebrate the completion of Roane County's newest school.
Dwindling numbers of students attending schools in Harriman has not escaped the notice of city leaders.
In response, Harriman City Council members may appeal to the Roane County Board of Education to redistrict the school system so that an even distribution of students are enrolled at the schools.
Most people would consider the notion of swimming, then biking and running in the late-August heat to the point of exhaustion a perfectly miserable way to spend a day.
To the 132 participants in last year's Storm the Fort Triathlon, it was just perfect. Or at least that was tenor of feedback that Kingston Parks and Recreation Director Rick Ross got at the conclusion of the city's first triathlon event.
Brush piling higher and higher at the city property known as the Harriman Industrial Park near Fiske Heights continues to bug Harriman officials.
But what really bugs them is an insect that prevents the city from chipping the brush and giving it away or selling it for mulch.
The brush at the site is collected by street department crews from city property and from residents requesting roadside pickup of yard debris, particularly after foul weather.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 1/31/13
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Phil Mickelson missed out on a 59 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open by a fraction of an inch Thursday. Mickelson had a chance to become only the sixth player in PGA Tour history to break 60 with a 25-foot birdie attempt on his last hole, the par-4 ninth at the TPC Scottsdale. The putt looked good all the way, and Mickelson pointed his putter at the cup as he prepared to celebrate. Right at the end, though, the ball caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees to the other side of the hole and stayed out. His caddie, Jim Mackay, fell to his knees and stayed there several seconds. Mickelson had to settle for the course record, which he previously set in the Phoenix Open eight years ago.

Louisiana petitions Obama for secession.

Re: Louisiana petitions Obama for secession.
Yeah, it's unarguably a convenience of war. Many states had large groups of population that were still loyal to the union and no better example exists than Virginia, where the Appalachian area was overwhelmingly pro-union. However, it's equally clear that they were not the legitimate government of Virginia because they only represented a small minority of Virginians (if they were the majority, Virginia wouldn't have seceded). The Constitution says that a new state cannot be formed from the territory of an old state without its permission, so there had to be a legal fiction where a new government of Virginia was recognized and that government then consented to let part of its territory (the part the new government was located in) to form a new state. Regardless of result, it's hard to argue it followed the spirit of the law.
That being said, it does demonstrate the difficulty of secession. Once you can establish that disagreements between winning and losing groups in a democracy are sufficient to justify secession, you open yourself up to counter-secession by any group that disagrees with the majority in the newly seceded state.

CEDIA, one of the major home theater expos, is currently underway, and while most of the stuff shown is your same ol' same ol', a few interesting bits are floating to the surface. This "Hanger18 HD Media Server" from Alienware, for instance: a four terabyte array of hot-swappable hard drives, HD recording up to 1080p, and an internal Blu-ray drive lets this thing do some serious entertainment bit spitting. To me, though, the most appealing thing about the Hanger 18 is that it's in a rack-mountable case. I've long had a dream of moving all my computing and media devices into a single, throbbing entertainment monolith. Unfortunately, having had some minor experience building rack-mount systems in the past, I'm not quite prepared to put in the extra money, especially when I'd basically be stacking all my stuff on top of each other like it is already. Prices for the Hanger 18 will probably range in the $2k to $4k range, depending on how you spec it out. Press Release [Biz.Yahoo.com via Engadget]
Alienware Rack-Mount Hanger 18 HD Media Server

One Response to "Alienware Rack-Mount Hanger 18 HD Media Server"
First off let me agree- Racks are sexy. They're sleek and techy, the blank faceplate is just short of awe-inspiring.
One of my favorite aspects of Pro Audio has always been the rackmount nature of almost everything outside of the main control surface.
It just looks hyper-bad**s.
My penchant being outed so thoroughly let me say this: I am hesitant to wonder how very long it will take Alienware to assemble, let alone ship, something like this.
Dreaded emails of "Please allow another 4-6 weeks before shipping" come to mind.
Vaporware? And when it's realized how long will it take to assemble and ship.
But for the dream realm it's a suitor!

"Work of top quality delivered in a timely manner from Peter. Peter really understands your needs and how your content will be used. He writes in the most appropriate way and find the right expressions for it. Very good communication and cooperation through the process. If there is something missing, he'll be happy to complement the work. Highly recommended." I am native German translator, proofreader and lector and this is 1 of 145 feedbacks/180 jobs done 2014 more below. Additional to my job as translator I worked as copywriter for two German advertising agencies, as lector for German eBooks and as book author (novels and movie scripts). During my work as copywriter I learnt to write text that sells. And when the internet started I learnt HTML, SEO rules and to use Trados and other software. Nowadays I translate for translation offices and improve German text written by Germans. As translator I work for several professional translation offices. In this capacity I translated novels from US Bestseller authors, contracts for GE, descriptions for Microsoft, manuals for WEBFocus and much more. I have written and published 5 books in German. I know HTML from basic to extended and ensure that the formatting of your website remains the same - what is important for you or your client! I am skilled in SEO and can translate websites with keywords, headers and html-tags in mind, what is necessary for optimal search-engine ranking. I work with and have Indesign, Acrobat, Corel, Pagemaker, Trados 2011 and a lot of other software to put your text in the right form and without breaking the original format. In my profile you might see "26 jobs in progress". Don`t worry about that. These are regular customers who have not closed the contract because they work with me on ongoing basis, submit text time by time and add milestones. It does not mean that I do not have time for new jobs. Here are some feedbacks from 2014. Well, with more than 180 jobs in oDesk and 57 in Elace there are a lot more feedbacks but I have selected those showing more than a few words and where clients provided more specific comments. "A very responsive and responsible translator, completed the work much ahead of time, as well as the one round of comments which he also considered positively. Great communication, would gladly hire Hans-Peter again." An excellent freelancer. We already worked several time with him and never had any reason to complain: ´high quality work even on short deadlines and with technical texts (web industry). I highly recommend Peter for your proofreading in german :)" "Hans-Peter did a very professional translation for our site. If you are looking for a reliable translator, hire him!" Hans-Peter Pressmar delivers a good quality translation or proofread. He is precise and delivers the job on time. He is clear in communication and worth a recommendation. +++++!" "not the cheapest, but very high quality, speed and straight forward in communication. Highly appreciated" This is the second or third time we have called upon Hans-Peter to assist on sensitive translation projects. He is very responsive and dedicated. We will continue to call on the linguist for his help!" Speedy, professionally, perfect and very polite communication. Top-service for oDesk." "Well Done, On time delivery. Good communications. I would like to work with Hans-Peter again Highly Recommended !" "Hans-Peter was very diligent in his work. It's evident that he takes pride in the quality of his deliverables. I appreciated his efforts." "He is very professional, provided 2 variations even though I didn't ask. Understands the goal of proper translation, and provides great services at a fast turnaround. Highly recommended Odesk contractor!" "Very precise. We esp. advise Hans for the larger jobs with higher budget. He is quick and looks further than the average translator to find problems and solves them." Peter was my only best hope. I couldn't have asked for a better job. Did an amazing job of translating a very long page & no one could have done better." "very quick, good quality translation ... eine schnelle und gute Übersetztung "Excellent translator - delivered a technical German translation of over 10,000 words promptly and diligently.

Tyson Ross Rumors
Extension Candidate: Tyson Ross
Since arriving from the Athletics organization in a seemingly minor trade following the 2012 season, starting pitcher Tyson Ross has blossomed in San Diego. He followed a strong 2013 with a terrific 2014 campaign in which he posted a 2.81 ERA, 9.0 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9, with his only obvious blemish coming when he missed his last start due to a slight forearm strain. Ross looks like a starting pitcher the Padres can build around, and at least for now, the Padres seem to agree, declining to trade Ross and Andrew Cashner even though new GM A.J. Preller used the trade market to transform much of the rest of the team this winter.
Ross posted a 1.88 ERA in the pitcher's haven of PETCO Park and a 3.79 ERA elsewhere in 2014, but he seems like the sort of pitcher who should be able to succeed in any home ballpark. His strikeout and walk totals are strong, and his 56.2 ground ball percentage over the past two seasons is outstanding, ranking third among pitchers who have thrown at least 300 innings in that time. He also has a mid-90s fastball, although he's relied on that less in recent years, turning instead to a sinker and a ridiculous slider that help generate all those ground balls. If anything, his exceptional ground ball abilities are somewhat wasted in the dead air of PETCO Park.
The Padres control Ross' rights through the 2017 season, and already the Wasserman Media Group client has established a fairly high salary baseline as a Super Two player. Ross and the Padres settled for $5.25MM this winter for 2015, his second year of arbitration eligibility. That could put him on pace to make about $25MM from 2015 through 2017, depending on how he performs in the next two seasons.
There haven't been many recent extensions for pitchers with arbitration situations similar to Ross'. Perhaps the one that comes closest is that of Gio Gonzalez, who signed a five-year, $42MM deal with a team option and a player/vesting option three years ago. At the time of that deal, Gonzalez, also a Super Two player, was heading into his first season of arbitration eligibility, with MLBTR projecting a $4.2MM salary for that year. Ross is one year closer to free agency than Gonzalez was, and salaries have escalated throughout the game since then, so the Padres would likely have to pay more heavily than the Nationals. But a deal for Ross in the $55MM-$60MM range with a structure similar to the Gonzalez contract would seem fair. The end result might look something like Matt Harrison's current five-year, $55MM deal with the Rangers, which includes one club option.
If Ross has interest in a long-term contract, the circumstances would seem favorable for the Padres to sign him. San Diego has a lucrative new TV deal, and the Padres' new ownership and seems intent on spending. And while the team has a fairly strong rotation now, they might not have one forever. Ian Kennedy is eligible for free agency after the season, and Cashner after 2016. Even with young or relatively young arms like Odrisamer Despaigne, Robbie Erlin, Matt Wisler and Casey Kelly in the system, signing at least one of Kennedy, Cashner or Ross would seem prudent — the pitcher who remains with the Padres long-term could join James Shields as a veteran rotation anchor.
Of course, with Preller, one never knows. It wasn't he who traded for Ross, and he hasn't yet shown strong attachments to players he didn't acquire. (And he already traded Tyson's brother Joe to the Nationals in the Wil Myers deal.) Preller could have his mind on something else entirely, particularly given the strong group of starting pitchers available on the free-agent market next winter. There are reasons to be somewhat cautious of Ross, too — he pitched about 60 more innings in 2014 than he did the previous year, and he has unusual mechanics and relies heavily on his slider. All those factors could make him an injury risk. But there's little else to dislike about him, and if the Padres are comfortable with his health, perhaps the two sides can strike a deal at some point.

Padres Avoid Arbitration With Kennedy, Ross, Alonso
3:24pm: Ross will earn $5.25MM in 2015, reports MLB.com's Corey Brock (on Twitter). He'd been projected to earn $5.7MM.
2:09pm: The Padres now announce that they've avoided arb with all of their eligible players, including Ross (all others had been previously reported). Terms of Ross' deal are not yet known, other than the fact that it's a one-year agreement.
1:40pm: Multiple reports indicate that the Padres and right-hander Ian Kennedy have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $9.85MM salary for 2015, with Mike Perchick of WAPT in New Jersey being the first to report the deal (Twitter link). Kennedy, who is entering his final year of team control prior to free agency, was projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $10.3MM. Though the righty's name was oft-mentioned in trade talks, it appears now that he'll join Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross atop the club's rotation.
Perchick also reports that the Padres have avoided arbitration with Yonder Alonso, agreeing to a one-year, $1.65MM pact. Alonso was projected to earn $1.6MM.

Rosenthal On Padres, Upton, Smith, Nats, Haren
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has updates on a number of situations around the league in his latest pair of columns. Here are some highlights from his most recent work…
- The Padres are interested in a wide array of hitters, but they're "all over" Justin Upton, Rosenthal hears. However, now that they're set to acquire Matt Kemp, the Padres don't want to trade Andrew Cashner, Ian Kennedy or Tyson Ross, which might make a deal difficult to line up. They could possibly follow the Howie Kendrick-for-Andrew Heaney model and offer six years of a top prospect such as Austin Hedges or Matt Wisler.
- Seth Smith is drawing interest from the Mariners and Orioles, among other clubs. Trading Smith would be an easier route for the team to take than moving one of Carlos Quentin or Cameron Maybin, neither of whom has much (if any) trade value. The Padres, however, gave Smith assurance that he wouldn't be dealt this offseason when he signed a two-year, $13MM extension in early July. Then again, that assurance came before GM A.J. Preller had been hired.
- The Nationals recently offered the Mariners both Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond in exchange for right-hander Taijuan Walker and shortstop Brad Miller, according to Rosenthal. However, the Mariners balked at giving up six years of Walker and five of Miller for just one year of Zimmermann and Desmond at a combined total of $27.5MM. Washington also discussed Zimmermann with the Red Sox.
- The Marlins could look to trade Dan Haren if he doesn't want to pitch for them in 2015, Rosenthal tweets. Haren made his preference to pitch on the West coast (specifically near his wife and two young children) clear when he signed with the Dodgers. At the end of the 2013 season, he discussed the difficulty of pitching across the country from his family with Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, and more recently he said he planned to retire if traded out of the area. Rosenthal notes that the Marlins spoke to Haren the night of the trade, and their preference is for Haren to pitch for their club in 2015. The Angels, who would represent one logical trade partner, given Haren's geographic preference, have said they won't be trading for him.

NL West Rumors: Montero, Greinke, Ross
The Giants have fallen short on a few free agent targets this offseason, but they're not worried, reports Henry Schulman in a series of tweets. Per Schulman, the Giants don't feel a need to "win" bidding wars. They'll stick to their dollar figure, which could affect their pursuit of Jon Lester. The club clearly wasn't comfortable topping the $68MM offer to Yasmany Tomas or $44MM offer to Nick Markakis. In the case of another free agent they missed out on – Pablo Sandoval – the Giants reportedly made a comparable offer to the Red Sox.
- Sources tell Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter) that the D'Backs would need to be "overwhelmed" to move Mark Trumbo. Still, the Mariners are among the teams that are monitoring the situation.
- Earlier today, Diamondbacks Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa said that contrary to reports, there was no agreed upon deal with the Dodgers that would have sent Miguel Montero to L.A. When asked if a Montero-to-the-Dodgers deal could still happen, La Russa said, "The conversations are not what they were before. I think it's less likely," according to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic (via Twitter). However, La Russa added that ownership has not deemed Montero untouchable (link).
- Dodgers president Andrew Friedman says that he'll let the year play out before addressing Zack Greinke's opt out clause, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times (on Twitter). From the sound of it, the Dodgers don't have extension talks with the pitcher on their agenda for this winter.
- Friedman said he would have zero hesitation in trading players within the division, tweets Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com.
- Friedman went on to say (link) that he has not visited any free agents this winter.
- Corey Brock of MLB.com (via Twitter) doesn't think that there's much to the speculation that the Rangers will make a run at Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner. Texas reportedly has more interest in Tyson Ross.

Rangers Notes: Middle Infield, Padres Starters, Choice
Texas has several irons in the fire. Here's the latest:
- The Rangers are fielding strong interest in their middle infield group, tweets T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. Jurickson Profar is among the names that has been asked about, and Texas has received particularly strong interest in Rougned Odor.The Rangers are not shopping Odor, who is still only 20 years of age and had a solid MLB debut last year. That pair of youngsters is joined in the Texas infield by incumbent shortstop Elvis Andrus and 21-year-old Luis Sardinas. The potential logjam up the middle has yet to materialize with Profar's recent injury troubles, though the team could feel free to deal from depth depending upon his progress.
- Meanwhile, the Rangers and Padres are still talking pitching, Sullivan tweets, though Texas has more interest in Tyson Ross than in Andrew Cashner because of the latter's health concerns and road numbers.
- San Diego is interested in Profar, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. But he says that a straight swap of Profar for one of the Friars' three best arms (Ross, Cashner, and Ian Kennedy) is not going to get done.
- Sullivan also notes on Twitter that teams remain intrigued by the upside potential of outfielder Michael Choice, who had a rough 2014, but that clubs looking to plug an immediate hole do not see him as a solution.

Trade Notes: Tulo, Swihart, Hamels, Marrero, Samardzija, Swisher, Upton
Here are the latest pieces of information on the trade front from the morning's action at the Winter Meetings:
- The Rockies approached the Mets today to gauge interest in discussing star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports on Twitter. Martino's sources tell him a deal that would send Tulowitzki to the Mets is "not happening." On the other hand, Colorado's actions obviously suggest that there is at least some possibility that the club would consider dealing him.
- The Phillies would not demand that the Red Sox include top catching prospect Blake Swihart in a deal involving Cole Hamels, Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com reports on Twitter.
- Were the Red Sox to make a push for Jeff Samardzija, however, the Athletics would insist on the inclusion of shortstop prospect Deven Marrero, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe tweets.
- Nick Swisher of the Indians is available in trade, tweets Jon Morosi of FOX Sports, but there has been minimal interest to date.
- The Mariners could "circle back" to the Braves regarding Justin Upton if the team does not land free agent Melky Cabrera, tweets David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But Seattle is highly unlikely to sacrifice one of its prized young arms in a deal for Upton, he adds.

AL East Notes: Yankees, Stubbs, O's, Marrero
The Yankees aren't looking into the Padres' trio of starters (Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross and former Yankee Ian Kennedy) right now, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets. San Diego is known to be listening to offers on the three right-handers but the Yankees aren't sure any of them are actually available. Here's some more from around the AL East…
- The Rockies contacted the Orioles about a trade that would've sent Drew Stubbs to Baltimore in exchange for pitching, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko reports (Twitter link). The departures of Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis has left the O's thin in the corner outfield spots, with Alejandro De Aza, David Lough and Steve Pearce (who will also see a lot of DH time) as the current candidates. The right-handed hitting Stubbs seems like a good complement for De Aza and Lough, who both hit left-handed.
- In an interview with MLB Network Radio yesterday (hat tip to Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun), Orioles executive VP Dan Duquette said he is looking to add catching depth. Matt Wieters may not be fully recovered from Tommy John surgery in time for Opening Day, so the O's may pursue a veteran backup to at least share the job with Caleb Joseph.
- Prospect Deven Marrero makes sense as a trade chip for the Red Sox to offer to teams in need of a young shortstop, though WEEI.com's Alex Speier reports that the Mets and Athletics have doubts that Marrero can hit enough for an everyday role.

Trade Notes: Porcello, Ramirez, Upton, Kendrick, Padres
It's already been a fairly active winter on the trade front, as we've seen the Brewers acquire Adam Lind, the D'Backs acquire Jeremy Hellickson, the Tigers acquire Anthony Gose and of course the Cardinals/Braves Jason Heyward blockbuster. All of this has come before the Winter Meetings, so action on the trade front only figures to increase over the next month. Here are some of the latest rumblings from around the league…
- ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that in addition to Jordan Zimmermann, Doug Fister and the Reds' quartet of starters that are rumored to be available (Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon), Rick Porcello is believed to be attainable in trades. Rival evaluators feel that many players that are set to be free agents a year from now could be had for the right offer. The Tigers, of course, are aiming to contend in 2015, but Porcello is projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $12.2MM in arbitration and could fetch a nice piece while freeing up some cash for GM Dave Dombrowski to address other areas of need.
- Olney also hears (Twitter link) that the White Sox' asking price on Alexei Ramirez is "steep to the degree that you'd want to be buying in for two to three years." Ramirez is guaranteed $10MM next season and has a $10MM club option for the 2016 season with a $1MM buyout.
- The Mariners will surely make a run at either Justin Upton or Evan Gattis, if they haven't already, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Twitter links). O'Brien gets the sense that top prospect Taijuan Walker is not completely off the table in trade talks with Seattle, but it would probably take more than one year of Upton to acquire him.
- Angels GM Jerry Dipoto tells Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times that he's had trade discussions regarding Howie Kendrick, but he's in no way eager to move his second baseman. The Halos entered the offseason thinking they might be able to move Kendrick for a controllable, young rotation option but somewhat surprisingly did so by acquiring Nick Tropeano in the Hank Conger trade. "The only way we would move him is if we become a better club," Dipoto tells DiGiovanna. "And it would take a heck of a deal for us to feel like we're a better club by moving Howie."
- Though much has been made of the possibility that the Padres could trade Tyson Ross or Andrew Cashner to bolster the club's offense, the team is now strongly considering hanging onto both pitchers, sources tell MLB.com's Corey Brock. Interestingly, Brock's report mentions reported trade interest in Ian Kennedy but does not state that the Friars are similarly likely to hold onto the 29-year-old. Kennedy will be a free agent next winter.

Rosenthal's Latest: M's, Hamels, Kennedy, Markakis, Norris
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has a new notes column posted looking at a number of situations around the league. Here are some quick highlights…
- The Mariners are on the hunt for a right-handed bat, but they prefer Nelson Cruz to signing Hanley Ramirez or trading for Matt Kemp. Justin Upton is also somewhere on their wish list and is potentially available. Rosenthal writes that the Mariners "are going to do something" of significance to address that search.
- The Phillies are doing background work on the makeup of Red Sox prospects Christian Vazquez, Mookie Betts and Matt Barnes, Rosenthal hears, fueling some speculation about a Cole Hamels trade. Rosenthal says the Sox are disinclined to move Vazquez or Blake Swihart, however, and previous reports have indicated that the team is loath to consider parting with Betts. As others have noted, Rosenthal feels that Hamels would likely require the Red Sox to exercise his 2019 option ($20MM) in advance, bringing the total he is owed to $110MM over the next five years.
- The Padres are continuing to listen to offers for Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross and Ian Kennedy, with Kennedy being the most likely of the three to go. Kennedy is projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $10.3MM in 2015, and the Royals are interested in the right-hander. Rosenthal also speculatively lists the Rangers as a club to watch in the Kennedy market.
- A reunion between Nick Markakis and the Orioles seemed like a foregone conclusion at one point, but the two sides still aren't close to a deal and talks are said to be merely "inching along." Rosenthal wonders what's taking so long but does note that the O's are considering Yasmany Tomas and still working with Cruz as well, so it seems fair to speculate that having three options in the corner outfield is slowing the Markakis progress. As Rosenthal notes, the longer the wait, the more likely it is that Markakis explores other options more seriously.
- Since the publication of that column, Rosenthal has tweeted that the Orioles might be willing to move Bud Norris, who is projected by Swartz to earn $8.7MM in 2015. Norris is a free agent next season but pitched well in 2014, posting a 3.65 ERA with 7.6 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 42.2 percent ground-ball rate in 165 1/3 innings. Rosenthal also hears that the O's have gotten "moderate" interest in Ubaldo Jimenez, although with $38.75MM remaining on his contract, I'd imagine he could only be swapped for another bad contract.

West Notes: Mariners, Cruz, Padres, Haren
The latest out of the game's western divisions:
- The Mariners have had conversations with Nelson Cruz and his agent since the start of the offseason, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports. According to Morosi, Seattle does not have a club policy against signing players with past PED suspensions. A recent report stated that the team backed off of Cruz last year because of his recent Biogenesis situation, but it appears that will not be a roadblock this time around.
- The Padres will listen to trade offers for their top three pitchers (Ian Kennedy, Andrew Cashner, and Tyson Ross) as well as catchers, Yasmani Grandal and Rene Rivera, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported yesterday. Presumably it would take quite an offer to part with Cashner or Ross, and Kennedy could be held and reassessed at the trade deadline. Behind the plate, the 26-year-old, former top prospect Grandal has yet to establish himself fully. Though he posted a solid 112 wRC+ last year, he also rated as one of the league's worst defensive catchers. Rivera, meanwhile, came out of nowhere to post by far his most extensive and productive MLB season in 2014, slashing .252/.319/.432 over 329 plate appearances while grading out as one of the game's best-fielding backstops.
- Righty Dan Haren of the Dodgers has come up in trade chatter, but could retire if he is dealt away from Los Angeles, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Haren exercised a $10MM player option to stay on the west coast, and Heyman indicates that he might prefer to hang up his spikes than pitch for any other club but the cross-town Angels.

The camel is a unique beast; some feel it is beautiful, while others, perhaps more lucidly, see it as being rather less kissable! There are many interesting facts about camels, here is a list of some of the most interesting!:
The name comes from the Arabic ǧamal meaning "beauty".
A camel's hump does not store water. It stores fat, lessening heat-trapping insulation around the rest of the body.
One reason camels can go long periods without water is the shape of their red blood cells. These are oval and so will flow when they are dehydrated rather than clumping, as ours do. The camel is the only mammal to have oval red blood cells.
Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water in one go.
Their temperature ranges from 34 degrees Celsius at night to 41 degrees during the day. They don't begin to sweat until they are over 41 degrees
Camels lie down to rest and sleep (and good luck getting them up if they decide they don't want to).
Camels lips are split to help them graze.
They can eat anything, including thorny twigs, without injuring their mouths.
Camels can kick in all four directions with each of their legs.
Camels can close their nostrils against wind and sand when necessary.
The shape of their nostrils allows them to retain water vapor and return it to the body as fluid.
They can lose 25% of their body fluids without getting dehydrated. Most mammals can only lose 15%.
Camels are ruminants like cows and goats.
Eating green plants gives them the moisture they need without drinking.
Their coats reflect sunlight and insulate them from the desert heat.
One of the camel's defenses is 'spitting' – where they essentially throw up a foul smelling greenish fluid from their stomach all over you if provoked. For those who have experienced it, it seems never ending and is never forgotten.

I've also heard that they are wonderfully adapted to walking on sand; have an 'ungainly' gait that is very disconcerting to people who have never ridden a camel before).
Best wishes, Brian.
