Okay sports fans, turn on your laugh machine and get your drool-overflow cup handy, 'cause we're off and running.
***MANNY GETS HIS WISH***
The Dodgers have offered $25 million a year for 2-3 years. And Boras hasn't even sharpened his pencil (or his teeth) yet.
***HEEEEERE'S CC***
Brewers offered Sabathia $20 million/yr for 5 years. This is where Cashman was going to start.
***YANKS ARE GOING YOUNGER...NOT***
I've read that they are "strongly" considering Pettitte & Mussina. I'm getting my eyes checked.
***PEAVY CONSIDERS YANKS***
Cashman reportedly putting a package together including Hughes, Austin Jackson and Kennedy. Is Peavy that much better than Santana? And San Diego has no interest in Robinson Cano. Well, neither do I.
***NATIONAL LEAGUE ANNOUNCES GOLD GLOVE WINNERS***
Picasner's reaction: BIG DEAL! I lost faith in the validity of the award in 1999, when Rafael Palmeiro won at 1st base after playing 28 games there (the rest as DH) when he was with Texas. Apparently he wasn't even the best first baseman on the Rangers, let alone the league. Bill James says (and he works for the Red Sox, so take THAT into consideration) that Derek Jeter is the WORST DEFENSIVE player in the majors! Wow! He has 3 gold gloves on his mantle: 2004, 2005, 2006. Did he lose a leg in the 2008 pre-season? So who is screwed up here? I say both: the Rawlings people, who pick the winners, and Bill James. To top it off, Rob Neyer, ESPN, thought the choice of David Wright of the Mets at 3rd base was a bad pick. He said Scott Rolens should have won, completely forgetting that Scott now plays for Toronto...in the American League. That's ok Rob, that makes as much sense as Rafael.
That's it for now, fans.
