Good Trade: Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim

September 30, 2008

The Angles need to re-sign first baseman Mark Teixeria a left fielder and Starter and maybe even a closer too. Here is a good trade for LA

Los Angeles gets:                              

Starting Pitcher Aaron Harang                                       

Cincinnati gets:     

Infielder Brandon Wood and Outfielder Terry Evans

Los Angeles will be filling a void and the Reds get good prospects. They might want to try Wood in the outfield too, Wood is a great offensiveplayer and if they move him he doesn’t seem like a bad try in the outfield since he is so versatile. So it seems like an okay trade, other than the fact the Reds need pitching and Harang might not bounce back. It is a risk trade for both teams. But it makes sense.


Edgar Renteria will be droped by Tigers

September 30, 2008

According to ESPN the Tigers will not pick up Edgar’s option for 2009.  Edgar will probably have an easy job finding a home, with shortstops scarce.  The Tigers best two options are Mark Ellis and Jack Willson.  I believe they could move Ellis to short. Now here is a Tigers off-season need list.

  1. 3 Relief Pitchers
  2. 1 or 2 Starters
  3. a Catcher
  4. a Shortstop

The Tigers might pick-up a couple of minor leaguers as well.  Edgar had a really dissapionting season. The NL fits him a whole better it seems. Edgar should look in the NL too. It will help him.  The tigers wanted more out of Edgar and he is better than this too.

Ozzie it’s time to go

September 26, 2008

Sure Ozzie Guillen brought the White Sox far in 2005, and 08 (so far), but it’s time to go like Manny Ramirez with the Red Sox.  He was a great player but the Red Sox had it with Manny. Why am I so mad Ozzie called out his player Orlando Cabrera after a team meeting set up by Orlando and said he “thinks he is better then what he really is” Fox Sports reports.  Isn’t that becoming just a little bit of a discraction to the White Sox. After all his tirades he should be gone. If I were the GM, bye Ozzie hope you distract another team.

Hunt for October

September 25, 2008

Here Is the hunt for October

Clinched: AL Tampa Bay/, Boston/, Angles+  NL Chicago+

In if season ended today: AL White Sox NL Phillies, Dodgers

Playoff: Brewers at Mets

Close Twins

Bad Shape: D’backs, Astros

Key + Divsion title / Playoff berth

I think the Twins can make it especially if they can beat the White Sox tonight.   They have great pitching considering the dumping of Johan Santana. Joe Mauer is the second best hitting catcher ever (behind Pudge Rodriguez).   So, there you have it.   The Twins can make the playoffs and make it deep.

Tigers Reliever Todd Jones set to retire

September 24, 2008

Todd Jones, a 300 save man, will retire as a Tiger. He collected 319 saves in a 16 year career – got 235 saves with the Tigers. He was always a good closer who could get the job done but was really nail-biting. But he could always do it. This year he has been hit around and announced retirement on his blog on Sporting News. A shaky pitcher that will always be remembered, Todd Jones.
