The Big Unit to the Giants. Wow. I'm with Dave on this. I too thought that he would call it a career in Arizona. Maybe the Giants think he could mentor Zito?

Did you know that New York times own 17.5 percent of New England Sports Ventures, who owns the Red Sox?

Me too, but the tightasses over here decided that 2 shitty players (Felipe Lopez and Scott Schoenejew) were a better use of their money than the best player in franchise history on the road to 300 wins.

He was very good last year in the second half. I was kinda hoping the Jays might somehow get him.

... and a deal with Josh Bard. Not my choice as the Sox's next moves, but it fills some much needed holes.

1. Good riddance to Brad Penny.
2. ARE WE SERIOUS ON TRYING TO SIGN DUNN?! We can't get Manny back so we are gonna pursue Dunn? GTFO with that shit. |

Interesting tidbit from SI.com. The Red Sox reportedly tried to re-acquire Hanley Ramirez from the Marlins after failing to get Teixeira. That would have been huge if it went through. The Marlins reportedly asked for Clay Buchholz and/or Jacoby Ellsbury. I would have done it if I were the Red Sox. Ramirez is a bonafide star, and Ellsbury is replaceable.

Hanley is a top player. Big time talent. That would have been huge. Yeah, all due respect to Ellesbury and Buchholz, but this trade would have been a no brainer for me.

I would have done it, you sure Lester wasn't involved? If he was I wouldn't have done it, Lester is going to be an All-Star pitcher real soon (maybe even this year)

Andruw could be a useful player if his offense became sub-par again. His defense was and will probably always be immense.
He's just stubborn. He never listened to Braves hitting coaches and developed a horrible batting habit. He can't get much worse than he's already gotten though. |

Andruw;s Defense is average at this point, 12+ years of Day to day play has worn him down. Add his huge weight gain the last 6 years.
He has fallen too far. The best hitting coach in the world, Don Mattingly, Could save him in LA. |

Mets pitch their offer to Derek Lowe. 3-years, $36 mil.
Earlier in the offseason, he was asking for 5-years and $90 mil. So let's see how this goes. |

I don't see it happening, but I would be ecstatic if Lowe signed for that price and Perez' price drops too to the point where he's a reasonable signing.
Santana Lowe Pelfrey Perez Maine Now THAT'S a rotation. |

Breaking News:
Brian Fuentes and the Angels agree to a 2-year, $17.5 mil. deal. Indians aquire Mark DaRosa from the Cubs for 3 players to be named later. |

WOw, angels lose Teix and K rod, and only gain Fuentes. They are still going to be a top team, but with another year old Vlad and Hunter, and no Garrett Anderson, they have some holes to fill.

What I don't quite get with the Angels is they trade Kotchman to get Tex. Now Kotch wasn't setting the world on fire, but he wasn't a slouch and was only going to get better.(I think) Anyway they give him up and then let Tex walk.

The funny thing is that Braves fans aren't thrilled at all about Kotch. He has potential and he's fairly young, but you just can't tell about him right now.
And the Braves need some power in their lineup, which most teams find from a 1st baseman. |

lol if this rumor is true... oh my god. I guess we are reworking Andruw's contract, so that will free up a shitload of money to give to Manny. No Andruw and Yes Manny? AMAZING.
