You know, I completely forgot about the Jae Seo trade, the trade that practically guarantees Weaver won't be back in LA. Angels are always a possiblity; Jeff is an LA guy, his brother will play for them in 07, and he's probably better than 2 of their current 5 starters.

I don't see why anyone would give Weaver a 4/5 year deal, but I know Bill Stoneman won't. If he decides to settle for a 1 or 2 year I see him in Anaheim, if not San Diego and Cincinnati would be my next guesses

Marlins executives to talk with Portland officials about ballpark
January 6, 2006

MIAMI (AP) -- Florida Marlins representatives plan to meet next week with Portland, Ore. officials about the team's possible relocation to the city in the event it can't get a baseball-only stadium in South Florida.
Marlins president David Samson will travel to Portland on Monday for a one-day visit, team spokesman P.J. Loyello said Friday. Samson will be accompanied by Marlins vice chairman Joel Mael and Claude Delorme, who is in charge of stadium development.
Since their inception in 1993, the Marlins have shared the Miami Dolphins' home, owned by Wayne Huizenga. The Marlins' lease with the stadium is in effect until 2007, and the team could move after that. If the team relocates, Las Vegas and Portland appear to be the early front-runners.

Cincinnati is pathetic. I think Claussen and Harang will have good years and Milton will bounce back somewhat, they're still probably the worst in the NL. I don't know their financial situation but almost any FA reliver would help.

They're not going to spend any more on starting pitching, they just blew $2.6 mil on a pitcher who has consistently led the league in HR allowed while pitching in the AL's best pitchers ball park. I can't wait to see Franklin get raped in Philly.

They're happy with Lieber/Myers/Wolf/Lidle/Franklin, which isn't too awful I suppose.

Johnson is terrible but he's just their #5, not much is expected of him this year. Their 1-4 are very good, and CC Sabathia might win the Cy Young this year. Comparing them to the Reds is not even close to fair.

Ryan Franklin... what to say... as a pretty big Mariner fan, this guy was scary to watch. Thing is he'd show some great talent from time to time. Enough to frustrate you. Piniero seems to have gone this way as well... as well as Meche.

OMG.

I've always hated Franklin. Even in like 2001-2002 when everyone around here thought he was going to be the next big thing I was just never sold on him. He never showed me anything that said he wasn't going to give up alot of bombs and strikeout next to no one. One of the few highlights on the 2005 Mariners season was being able to say "I told you so" to fellow M's fans who gave up on him.

Gil Meche, I've always thought could be a decent enough middle relief guy. He just doesn't have the starter makeup. This year should've been an indication he's not going to get any better.

Pineiro I've always liked, he has great stuff, but I'm getting a little tired of him. Like Meche he would be better suited in the bullpen, unfortunately Bavasi wouldn't know where to begin converting a starter and finding a new one.

Oh well. Our team still sucks. I have to hand it to Bavasi though, it must be a challenge to try to equal your loss total to your million dollar spent.

I'm calling it, 2006 Seattle Mariners, 86 million dollars, 86 losses.

CC had a great finish, much like the whole Tribe last year, but yeah, inconsistant he has been. If CC wins the CY next year, then hats off to Miz right now.

I don't actually think he'll win, but he's definately a candidate and definatelt thye ace of his staff. People forget how young he is, when healthy he is one of the best 3 lefties in the AL.

2006 is probably too early, but when he shows me he can throw 200+ innings I'll pick him to win one.

My pre-season AL Cy Young picks would be
1. Buehrle
2. Halladay
3. Santana
4. Harden
5. Sabathia
6. Zito
7. Felix

No doubt he K's alot and has his flaws, but he is an extremely productive offensive player. 168 K's does not cancel out 40 HR, 101 RBI, 114 BB, .387 OBP, and .540 SLG

CC is only 26 right?

True, he's got a ton of experience behind him already. Felix

As for Dunn, Gooner, he strikes out a ton, but he still nets the results that teams are looking for when all is said and.... DUNN.

- he also score 100+ runs

Saw an article today, I'll look for it later (after I get some sleep) that the Yankes spent like 80mil more then the Red Sox last year and the Sox were within 10-20mil of a few teams.

I was suprised, I really thought the Sox were way ahead of everyone except the yanks.

Just shows once again, it's not what you spend but where.

Good news Hero

--------------

While Ricciardi insists the lineup is more or less set, there are some names out there that still interest the Jays. One is outfielder-first baseman Craig Wilson of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had 29 homers, 35 doubles and 82 runs batted in two seasons ago before suffering through an injury-plagued 2005 campaign.

Wilson has a career on-base percentage of .363, including a .387 mark posted last season in only 59 games. Those numbers and his previous homer total are the sort of statistics that draw Toronto's interest and Ricciardi believes Wilson would represent an upgrade over what the club has in left field.

Pittsburgh signed outfielder Jeromy Burnitz last week and the previous acquisition of first baseman Sean Casey has left Wilson without a position. He could also be awarded more than $4 million from salary arbitration and the Pirates aren't sure they want to pay that to a part-timer.

"We've always liked him, but I don't know what his availability is," Ricciardi said.

The Pirates have said they're going to hold on to Wilson, but that sounds like posturing by the budget-conscious team. Ricciardi said he'd only do a "one-for-one" trade for Wilson, meaning a current major leaguer or a better minor-league prospect, but no more packages like he did in the Lyle Overbay trade with Milwaukee.

The Koskie deal has left the Jays with some extra cash to absorb Wilson into the fold. Ricciardi is also still looking at free-agent catcher Bengie Molina, but "only if the price is right."

...I hope he doesn't go after Benji. I was once excited about the prospect of him going after Molina but I don't think he would be needed given the new look of the team. Sure it would be nice to have him, but it's a luxury that can be done without. Zaun is a great game caller and a character guy, he earned the right to remain the starter . Also, the money Molina would command would be best spent later in the season of the following year. No need blowing your load right away.

Molina simply isn't that good. His only above average year was last year, his contract year. He was always known as a great defensive catcher with no bat, his bat has become average but his arm has tailed off quite a bit, Jose and Yadier are both much better. He's a nice guy to have, but not near worth what he's asking. If I were a Blue Jays fan I'd be satisfied with Wells/Overbay/Glaus/Wilson

i don't know who I'd rather have, wilson or Molina. The jays would probably have to deal another outfielder away cause that'll leave them with Wells, Catalanotto, Johnson, Rios, Wilson and supposedly Hinske.


btw Hero do you wanna see J.F Griffin get a shot on the team? He has nice power but strikes out a bit too much

I was just thinking about John-Ford Griffin. That's eerie. The only thing with him is that he's yet to prove himself. Maybe he'll surprise evryone and become a starter.

I read a news story last night about Alex Rios.... not good. He's struggling mightly in the winter leagues. Low avg. lack of power, something needs to be done it seems. Let me find the article.

###

The performances of Alex Rios and Guillermo Quiroz in winter ball haven't done much good for their job security with the Major League club.


Rios, who turns 25 in February, is hitting .229 (16-for-70) with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 19 games for the Caguas Criollos (20-21) in Puerto Rico. Toronto's right fielder has a .291 on-base percentage to go along with a .443 slugging percentage.

The Blue Jays are hoping that the 6-foot-5 Rios -- a former league MVP in Puerto Rico -- can tap into the power potential that analysts have said he possesses. Rios hit .262 with 10 homers and 59 RBIs in 149 games for Toronto in 2005 and is slated to start in right on Opening Day.

There has been discussion about moving infielder Eric Hinske to left field and possibly sliding Frank Catalanotto -- a left-handed batter -- over to right, though. That could mean a platoon-type situation with Rios, who is a righty, if he struggles early.

Quiroz, 24, has a .191 (13-for-68) batting average with one homer and four RBIs in 21 games for the Zulia Aguilas (23-39) in the Venezuelan League. The catcher has struck out 20 times and has walked just once.

The Blue Jays promoted Quiroz to the Majors in late August, and he hit just .194 in 12 games. Quiroz suffered a collapsed lung and other injuries in 2005 and was limited to just 40 Minor League games before being called up. Toronto appeared ready to hand over the backup catching job to Quiroz for 2006. On Tuesday, though, the Blue Jays signed catcher Jason Phillips -- a five-year veteran -- to a Minor League contract and gave him an invitation to Spring Training in Dunedin, Fla., where he'll compete with Quiroz for the No. 2 catcher job. Gregg Zaun remains the starting catcher for Toronto.

Toronto farmhand Miguel Negron, who plays with Rios in Puerto Rico, is hitting .240 in 32 games for the Criollos. The 23-year-old outfielder has two home runs, 10 RBIs and a .302 on-base percentage.

This trade has apparently been discussed

Red Sox get:
CF Jeremy Reed
RP Will Ohman

Cubs get:
OF Raul Ibanez
2B Tony Graffanino
cash

Mariners get:
SP Bronson Arroyo
OF Corey Patterson
PTBNL (from Boston)

You know, it would be really hard to root for the Mariners this year if this trade goes through

It's harder to root the the Mets this year. It will be even harder if we trade for Manny Ramirez.

^ I'm the complete opposite...I'm now counting down the days till Opening Day

Doesn't help matters that the NY Giants lost, now I have no major sports teams to root for until April

Ryan Freel arrested for disorderly intoxication, too bad, he's probably the best utility guy/10th man in the NL and one of the best base stealers
