Marlins hire everyone's favorite backup catcher, Mike Redmond, to be their manager.

Anyone here remember Pascual Perez?
I do. He was a pitcher for the Expos (maybe other teams too I forget) Pascual Perez killed in stabbing Former major league pitcher Pascual Perez, who had a troubled 11-season career that included two suspensions for drug use, was killed at his home in the Dominican Republic in an apparent robbery, police said Thursday.

Catchers make the best managers. They're involved in every aspect of the game.

They did decline the team option on mark Reynolds but its entirely possible and probable they resign him to a newer deal for less money, since they really don't have any in system 1b that are even close to ready and 1b fa kinda stink. |

I think its more about their ability to handle players.
Catchers are the only position that need to motivate and "coach" other players. a Good catcher keeps his pitchers focused and has to calm them down, etc. Lots of catchers that can handle pitchers make a career out of substandard offense. Brad Ausmus for example. Im surprised hes not still not catching somewhere. He was an OK Hitter, Very Good Defensively but is an all time staff handler or whatever they call it. That dude will be an MLB manager within 5 years. |

So if my point wasnt clear, I think that experience, coupled with the gameplanning they do makes them the ideal MLB manager.

Looking at today's catchers, Yadier Molina will be a good manager IMHO

Yadier Molina is a hall of famer imo. Coming from a Cubs fan, that guy might be the most feared player for the Cubs. Him and Carlos Lee. I swear to god they need to make a statue of Carlos Lee outside Wrigley. I dont think i've seen a game where he didnt crush a bomb to left field on us. But Molina is incredible. Such a defensive force too. The way he hold runners on base. Never lets a first basemen jog back to first after a strike. Dude is just dangerous .

The thing about that is that the Cubs could buy low on Haren, give up a decent prospect, then sell high at the trade deadline next season. That would be a shrewd move. I dont know if Theo has the chops for that. We'll see.

Cubs are also talking with Dempster. If they can put together and Dempster, Garza, Haren, Samarijzda, someone, rotation, they could challenge for the division.

Rangers give the first offer to Josh Hamilton of 1 year, $13.3 million although its less than the money he received last year ($13.75) but allows them a draft pick if he rejects it and someone else nabs him. Already hinted he'll reject it before the November 9th deadline.
Red Sox gave their initial offer to David Ortiz of 1 year $13.3 million to ensure they'd get a draft pick if he leaves although ESPN is saying he won't be leaving and will get a new 2 year contract. O's Ryan Adams suspended 25 games for next season after testing positive for amphetamines. Mark McGwire hints he's leaving the Cards hitting coach job to take the same job for the Dodgers soon. |

Cubs are nowhere near as good as the Cards, Brewers, our Reds. Theyre a long way from contention.

Trade is hold pending MLB approval. But's a crazy way to kick off free agency.

Mariano Rivera informs Yankees he's coming back for one last year since he doesn't want the last moment of his career being that freak injury.
A's resign Bartolo Colon for 1 year, $3 million but won't have him for the first 5 games of 2013 as part of the 50 game suspension he got late last year. |

Esmil Rogers is a great dude, but he really sucked here. Gives up a lot of home runs and walks a lot of people as well.
Then again every pitcher who is not Josh Fogg apparently sucks here |
