I'm not that excited this year. Dodgers will reach the NLCS again somehow, and lose to the Phillies agan.

The Dodgers won't lose the game so much as be "asked to stop playing and then give up because they are giant douchebags".
Just sayin' |

Other than pitchers and catchers on the move to camp. A few tidbits.
Rockies offer Eric Gagne a minor league deal. Mets offer Rod Barajas a 1-year, $1 mil. minor league deal. |

Despite it technically being a minor league deal...if Barajas accepts it I'd be shocked if he wasn't the Mets' Opening Day catcher. A Barajas/Blanco duo won't do much offensively, but they'll be one of the best defensive catching tandems in baseball. The pitching staff needs that.

I guess they think Gold glove and Silver Slugger cover that idea.
However an All-pro baseball team would be way better. |

You know what I would find hilarious if these Pecota predictions came true? According to Pecota the White Sox/Tigers/and Twins will all finish with the same record 80-82. I would love to see what they would do with a 3 team tie to get to the playoffs.

Manuel's toying with the idea of batting Reyes 3rd. He thought about it last spring but everyone thought it was stupid. This year though, with Beltran out for probably a month and a half I think sticking Reyes 3rd could be a great move. I'd rather he have Wright, Bay, etc. hitting directly behind him as opposed to Slappy Castillo.
It'd also allow Angel Pagan to leadoff in Beltran's absence, which would be good because I think Pagan's talents would be otherwise wasted in the 7th or 8th spot. |

Eric Gagne signs with the Dodgers. 1-year minor league deal up to $1 mil. He gets $500k if he leaves spring training with the dodgers, the other $500k in incentives.
Blue Jays sign Jose Molina to a 1-year with an club option for '11. $400k guarenteed, another $400k if he makes the opening day roster. Russell Branyan to the Indians. 1-year, $2 mil. with $1 mil. in incentives. |

Rangers offered Rod Barajas a $1.5 mil. deal. Mets countered and made the contract a major league contract. Still offering $1 mil., but its guaranteed.

Barajas accepts the Mets' offer, 1 year, $1 million...plus an extra $1 million in incentives. Nice. Low BA, but a decent guy to have at the bottom of the order to drive guys in and hit a few longballs. More importantly, he and Blanco will be a good defensive catching tandem.
I do feel bad for Omir Santos. When the Mets wanted Molina, everybody figured Santos would be shipped off to AAA...then they wouldn't up their offer for Molina, so Santos was essentially proclaimed the likely Opening Day catcher. Now, he appears to be ticketed for AAA again. He was decent last year for a rookie, but I'm glad they got a veteran presence in there to work with the pitching staff. Barring a really surprising spring from Mike Jacobs or Gary Matthews, Jr...or *knock on wood* and injury, Mets have their 9 Opening Day players identified. Wish it was April. |

How do you guys thing Miguel Cabrera will fare this year? - Do you think this whole alcohol fiasco and implosion at the end of last year will haunt his production this year?
-Me, I do. He seems fragile (imo) and I don't believe he'll be the dominant hitter he has been. |

At what? At the possibility of Miguel not being as good as a hitter as he was? Or signing Johnny Damon? Can I ask you why if it's Damon? You've all ready got a Left Fielder so Damon would be your DH anyway and he is a real good hitter. And you only got him for 1 year 8 million. That sounds fair to me at least. I don't see what the problem is with getting Damon since the guy can still hit.

That would be the outfield you speak of. Remember though Damon's numbers were inflated due to new Yankee stadium. Comerica Park is a pitchers park

for a 1 year deal, I believe Damon went to the wrong ballpark. Because of what Comerica is in terms of being a pitchers park. Look how tough it was for Damon to land a deal after playing in a hitter's park. Because he'll need to lobby for a cntract again next year unless he retires) he should have went to the Braves - (assuming the Atlanta bid was legit)

From the "What the Fuck" dept.
Yankees sign Chan Ho Park 1-year, $1.2 mil. deal. He can get an extra 300k in incentives. Well now, this is quite the mind boggler. |

Well having him can't do that much harm to our bullpen. I think it may have been what the Yankees saw from Park during the World Series as well. Last edited by Hardkore Kidd J; 02-22-2010 at 06:39 PM. |
