Not sure why anyone would be upset about Andruw Jones. Pretty much what Thames is except he can actually play the outfield. Not like he once could but still a million times better than Marcus Thames.

Detroit DFA'ed Armando Galarraga to make room for Brad Penny, and supposedly the Orioles are interested.

Jays sign Jon Rauch for 1 year. If Chad Cordero is decent I kinda like our bullpen although I don't know just having Purcey as our only lefty. Dotel, Rauch, Frasor, Purcey, Camp, Janssen is better than I thought this bullpen would look. LOVE our offence this year. The Jays may hit more home runs than they did last year.
C: Arencibia 1b: Lind 2b: Hill SS: Escobar 3b: Bautista DH: Encarnacion LF: Snider CF: Wells RF: Davis Eric Chavez worked out for the Jays. If the Jays sign him and put him at 3rd and move Bautista to RF the Jays have the potential to have every player hit double digits in home runs. |

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. |

Hey Yanks fans. What do you think about Cashman saying publicly he didn't want to sign Soriano?

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. |

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. |

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.

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'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.

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. |
