They'd need Bautista to pretty much repeat last year if they want to hit more homeruns, and objectively, I don't see that happening.

Dodgers picking up Thames was an okay move. It will, at the least, give them an opportunity to platoon him and Jay Gibbons and keep Tony Gwynn Jr. out of the lineup.

I'm calling this now: Encarnacion will hit 35. He's so friggen strong and if he ever develops consistency he can hit 35. Remember though, Lind's power numbers were down, as were Hill, plus Arencibia has a ton of power, and Snider can easily hit 20-25.

Edwin Encarnacion will be lucky to hit 35 singles next year. He's garbage. Sorry.

And the Yankees sign Andruw Jones. Thanks to the Soriano signing the 40-man is now full so someone is getting bounced to make room for Jones.

Let's see if he can do what Marcus Thames did last year. That guy was money well spent.

Cashman feeling a little free nowadays, huh?

When George was in charge, he'd never have said that, 'cause he'd be fired on the spot.

...he IS right, however. Soriano shouldn't get paid "Mariano Rivera money".

I was alright with 3-years, $45 mil. Cashman was the guy who kicked it up to a little over $50 and that was no big deal.

What you're missing is that president Randy Levine was the guy who wanted Soriano. And since President is a few rungs above General Manager on the executive ladder, you kinda don't have a choice but to take orders.

I've heard Soriano was more of a reaction signing to all the news of the Red Sox improving a lot with their new players and loosing out on the Lee/Crawford and other big name races when the media and fans expect the Yankees to sign anyone they want.

Carl Pavano was rumored to be signed by the Yankees again until Minnesota gave him a 2nd year on his deal. This is a player the fans hated the first time and sort of liked then back to hated the 2nd time with the team.

Cashman was considering Pavano while rejecting Soriano while Hank wanted Soriano and rejected Pavano initially.

MLBN just listed David Wright as the 6th best 3B in baseball. WTF

Leiter and Millar both said he should be higher. They're right. Putting Beltre ahead of him is a joke.

I also think it's pretty ridiculous that Levine and Hank went over Cash's head. Don't really see the point in having a GM if you're just gonna make signings he doesn't think should be made.

Weird I thought Luke Scott was doing a pretty good job as a DH. Either 2 things will happen Vlad will play the Outfield or Scott would play in the Outfield. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks it should be the latter.

Okay, Droford I got a question for you , who would you rather sign with the Orioles , Vlad or Manny?

neither

Seriously, theres no need to retread Albert Belle/Sammy Sosa crap again signing washed up sluggers to contracts so fans of the Orioles can watch whats left of their careers fall off the cliff in a car crash. Vlad might of have won a Silver Slugger last year, big whoop.

Luke Scott finally adjusted to being the fulltime DH last year after being used as a DH and OF in 09. Im perfectly fine with the Pie/Jones/Markakis OF considering the other improvements theyve made.

I'm actually kinda worried about Manny and Damon on the same team. The Yankees will be fine but hitting wise they have gotten better. I'm guessing Damon is gonna be the Left Fielder. Manny is most likely gonna be DH. I thought Manny was gonna sign with the Pirates or something.

I thought Damon wanted to stay with Detroit after he gave that speech about him wanting to stay in Detroit and help the "younger" players while taking less money.

Of course he really didn't want to go back to Boston (or New York) but it makes his speech a bit worthless now.

At least Tampa Bay was smart enough to give both players heavy incentive-laced contracts so if Manny starts to goof off, he hurts his chances at gaining more money.

I can't believe my Jays got rid of Wells's contract. Friggen awesome. We needed help at catcher and Napoli can flat out mash. Rivera will be a decent stopgap until Gose is ready.

I was gonna say that.

A.A. is a fucking genius now for unloading that contract, although the talk of Toronto sending the Angels money is still up in the air.

ManRam and Damon to the Rays.......didn't see that coming. Kinda pissed the Yankees gotta see Ramirez for ANOTHER 18 games this season.

A.A is doing a very under-rated job. Dealt an aging Gonzalez for Escobar, dealt Brandon League for Morrow who was killer stuff, got good value for Halladay (Drabek looks awesome and I've heard nothing but great things from D'arnaud and Gose), rebuilt the farm system and now just fleeced Anaheim. From what I heard no money is going to Anaheim. Even moves like trading for Miguel Olivo just so he could get a draft pick when he signs elsewhere is so smart. Really excited to see where this team is headed as they finally have some direction after Ricchardi fucked it up.

In late breaking news, the Tampa Bay Rays have invited Mark Bellhorn, Doug Mirabelli, Pokey Reese and Dave McCarty to Spring Training.

Manny Ramirez, and Johnny Damon to the Rays.

Damon gets $5.25MM for one year, Ramirez gets $2MM

Decent pickups if they can perform, but Ramirez is on the quick decline so.

Damon was bad last year in Detroit. He's a waste of money.

Damon put up solid numbers. They're not bringing him in to carry the team. Just to try and help bolster the top of the lineup.

Manny DH'n every day is going to extend his season and maximize his value. I don't think anyone doubts that can still hit. The problem has been keeping him healthy, and playing left field everyday for the Dodgers wasn't helping.

I think Manny will do fine so long as he's motivated.

And, boy, what a terrible off season for the Angels. They missed out on their two top free agent choices in Beltre and Crawford. Then they give up some cheap, steady offense in Napoli for an overpaid Vernon Wells.

Detroit fans didn't like Damon. I'm from the area and people constantly bitched about him. He's slowed down and has no arm and his numbers aren't great. If Manny is the dh then I don't know where the hell Damon will play.

Damon will play in the outfield regularly despite the fact that he's been a bit of a mess defensively for quite some time now. They're not paying him close to 5.75 mil plus attainable incentives to ride the pine, as the Rays would never do such a thing, and he's less of a defensive liability than Manny.

Word is The jays traded Wells to free money up to give a huge contract to batista...who will surely drop off the face of the earth.

If I'm a Rays fan I think I'd rather have Manny in the field than Damon.
