Rumors are saying the Japanese pitcher Hideki Kuroda will sign with the Dodgers. His stats are pretty comparable to Matsusaka except his era is about a 1/2 a point higher.
I want to know when Dodgers/Red Sox tickets go on sale for the Coliseum. Limited oppurtunity for this so I'll have to strike fast. I'll try to hit up Yankee and Shea this year in a weekend type affair. I want to see a game there before they blow them both up.
Are single game tickets on sale now? I need a pair for a Boston/whomever game and a game at Yankee stadium(again I don't care). I went to Fenway last year for the Police concert but didn't get to watch a game there.
I figure this deal sets up a trade for Bedard. Kemp is a player that many covet and created some turmoil in the locker room. I really don't want to trade the kid but it might be worth it in a deal for Bedard
I don't know. He's a gold glove center fielder which is better than Juan short arm Pierre. He also hit more HR's than any Dodger last year. Jeff Kent led the team with 20. Also he's only signed to a 2 yr deal. That's a low impact deal. Big money for 2 years but not a 7 yr deal like the...
CF Andruw Jones signs a 2 yr contract with the Dodgers worth 36 million. he is now the 5th higest average salary player. This is a good deal I think. I'm surprised that Andruw accepted it but his health is a concern. Even at his weakest point last year, he was more powerful of a bat than...
Andy Pettite is back in Pinstripes for next season http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3139152 The Mets traded Lastings Milledge to the Nationals for 2 players. and Jake Peavy is close to a 3 yr extension with the Padres worth 17 mill each season
I was and I am in still complete shock Beckett lost the Cy Young. Sebathia was pretty dominant this year but not like Beckett and I'm avoiding the post season. The NL will be interesting. It should be Peavy, Penny or Brandon Webb. Likely Peavy but we'll see.
Free Agency is open now. The Yankees resigned Jorge Posada 4 yrs 52 million http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3107197 He's now the highest paid catcher.
I could make a cheap philly choke joke but i'll hold off :) I think MLB playing in Japan is not the right thing to do. Overseas travel and the planning and prep for that doesn't seem worth it.
Schilling signs his deal 1 yr 8 million with incentives pushing it to 14 million Gold Gloves announced: 2007 Gold Glove winners AMERICAN LEAGUE C Ivan Rodriguez, DET 1B Kevin Youkilis, BOS 2B Placido Polanco, DET 3B Adrian Beltre, SEA SS Orlando Cabrera, LAA OF Ichiro Suzuki...
Problem with Cabrera is the Marlins can't afford to keep him once he gets close to a new contract. They need to get rid of him now while the market will give them top dollar. Unfortunately they don't realize the value in keeping great talent. The Tigers went down that road years ago and never...
They say that Torre and LA are close to a deal 3 yrs 14.5 million. Mattingly would come of course and the news places are speculating that A Rod would go as well. I wonder who else would follow Torre?
Mike, Offering Lowell a 3 yr deal is great for the club but I'll bet another club offers him a long term deal in the 4-6 year range. At that point they might have to consider Youkallis or another alternative. Personally I hope the Dodgers don't take the A-Rod pill and decide to make a trade...
A manager might be what the Dodgers need though. Little may be unable to handle the mix of youth + elder statesman. In the end, the Dodgers need some firepower in a big way at 3b and the outfield. They don't play smallball well at all. On a side note, I saw where the Brewers are cutting...
If you look at Meche's stats, he did quite well. His era was a nice 3.67. He might be overpaid a bit but I think the Royals had to in order to lure a front line starter to KC.
