I know it's still very early and they have a lot of time to work it out, but if the Reds don't sign Phillips to a loooooooooong term contract and he leaves I don't see how they will have a fan base anymore. Aside from Braun and Fielder and I guess Pujols is only 28, the NL Central is extremely thin on young hitters so this is as good a time as any for the Reds to make their move in the division while St. Louis is rebuilding.

Wow I have to put up with Pujols for another decade. That is super depressing.

I dont think the jays are going to even top the D Rays this year.
Honestly, they have only been getting worse, and the D Rays have improved and will be getting some re-enforcements this year. |

Interesting.
There are reports going around that O's owner Peter Angelos killed a deal that would send Erik Bedard and Brian Roberts to the cubs in exchange of 7 farm boys. However, others are saying that there was never such a deal. Scott Kazmir and the Rays were able to agree on a 1-year, $3.785 million deal. |

Kinda a hard situation to predict...if they manage to lock him up to a reasonable deal now, they'll still have him for future years whether he pitches well or sucks. But if he pitches great and doesn't get an extension before the year, Boras'll direct him to the FA pool and from there it'll depend on what Perez cares more about: money or the team. |

Guess we are not trading any outfielder. That means we are gonna have Kemp, Ethier, Andruw, Pierre. One of em is gonna have to sit on dat bench, niggum.

Jays are pretty damn deep in the pitching area. That'll keep them ahead of the DRays. All things being what they are right now.

A little twist that might see the Twins keep Santana?...
Minnesota Twins GM Bill Smith was very disappointed to learn that pitching prospect Jose Mijares broke his left (pitching) elbow in a one-car crash in Venezuela when he fell asleep at the wheel the Boston Globe reported. Mijares is a 40-man roster player and throws hard (sound familiar?). He was 5-3 with a 3.54 ERA in Double A New Britain last season and had a 1.86 ERA in 37 games in the winter league in Venezuela. Last year, it was Francisco Liriano's Tommy John surgery, and with a Johan Santana deal looming, Mijares was a young pitcher the Twins looked forward to having on the horizon. Source: Boston Globe

Nah I don't think that'll keep the Twins from trading Santana. I can't help but think that once we get to about 1-2 weeks away from spring training camps opening, Johan'll remind Smith that he isn't waiving his no-trade clause during the year and off he'll go, especially since the Indians and Tigers will be amazing.

I wonder if the Jays are still pursuing Linsecum (or however it's spelt) for Rios. We just took a hit offensively by moving Glaus for Rolen, so I kinda think not. but you know, it wouldn't be a bad idea looking forward.

The Rock Cats are one of the Twins' farms. Did not know that.
Brett Tomko signs a 1-year, $3 mil. deal with the Royals. |

Talks are quite on the Johan front...apparently its now evident that the Twins know what they can get, its just a matter of preparing the fanbase from what they will view as a disappointment. I even heard that in order to make the Mets budge with Fernando Martinez, they might add an extra prospect to go along with Johan.

Read about Pujols denying some reporters access at a press conference. They were from the same station that put his name out there as a steroid user. When his name didn't appear on the Mitchell report they retracted, but Pujols is pissed.

A few late items.
Chuck Knoblauch has been subpoenaed by the House Committee for a deposition before the hearing next month. And for those that care, Jose Canseco found a new publisher for his "Juiced" sequel. |

I think that Johan will be gone in probably about 3 weeks or so (around when pitchers and catchers report)

Good call Sammy. The Dodgers shouldn't waste their money on declining superstars. They save it so they can spend it on up and coming talent like Andruw Jones, Jeff Kent, and Nomar Garciaparra.

Nothing much going down in the news and rumors.
Barry Bonds wants his Perjury case thrown out. Jaret Wright signs a minor league deal with the Pirates. Oh the memories......... |

Apparently Jose Canseco offered not to name Magglio Ordonez in his next book if Ordonez invested in a film project of Canseco's. LOL.
Also, Chuck Knoblauch is on the loose. Nobody can find him to serve the subpoena about the steroids stuff. |

Sounding like the deal that'll net the Mets Santana is gonna be along the lines of:
Fernando Martinez Ryan Church (Twins want someone ML ready) Two other prospects (probably two of Guerra/Mulvey/Humber) Getting Santana and keeping one of Gomez or Fernando would be AWESOME. I'm not sure Gomez is ready to start in RF everyday...and Endy is probably better off the bench...worst case scenario we just go and sign a fill-in vet and let the other guys get their ABs. |

Braves sign Rafael Soriano to a 2-year deal.
Yankees are getting ready to re-sign Robinson Cano to a 4-year $30 mil. deal. |

What a stupid move. Just when I thought the guy was pretty much clearing himself of getting trashed on by everyone, he gotta go and pull and extortion job. Dumb fuck.

Apparently the Cano deal will have options for 2012 and 2013. They should just sign him for 15 yrs. because he is the man

I hate it say it but I really think the Red Sox gotta build a new stadium, they would bring it so much more money if they did. I mean I love the history of Fenway and everything, but if they got rid of the Boston Garden they can get rid of Fenway Park.
