The Rangers are front runners for Garland. It would do him better to stay in the NL. Back in the AL, and in a hitter friendly park wont work out well

[Keeper]

He would be better off if he stayed in the NL, but that applies to just about everyone. However, you might be right about the Rangers. In 9 starts at their park, Garland's numbers are bad beyond belief.

per mlbtraderumors....

 

Mark DeRosa is close to a 2 yr deal with the Giants for $12 mil overall. As of right now, he's set to be the LFer, but could move to 3b should the G-Men pick up Holliday or Bay

It's official. DeRosa passed his physical.

 

DeRosa deal with Giants confirmed, physical done.

[Spudboy]

Big deal.

[Dipre]

Big deal.

 

It is a big deal, old timer.

Josh Bard and Chad Cordero.

[Emmz]

lol

[Keeper]

DeRosa will definitely help the Giants, but they still need a couple more bats, IMO. If Buster Posey is MLB-ready, that would go a long way. Should have traded Zito for Bradley. Both have underperformed. Both have big contracts. Both have two years remaining. It probably never even occurred to Hendry.

They had Cordero in the minors last year. Bard will give them some depth, which they need behind the plate. I'm not sold on Rob Johnson.

The joke was lost on you........

Na I got it....it just wasn't funny. Rather than comment on the joke I commented on the M's signings.

 

What are you now, a comedian or something?

Dude.

 

If she doesn't want to go out with you, don't take it out on me. Get a haircut, buy some mints, and go for it again. No reason to be all pissy like if you were in the middle of menopause.

[26 to 6]

I do need a haircut....

[Dipre]

I do need a haircut....

 

Well played.

If they can manage to add Sheets, and maybe a Bedard type they might have a shot at the WC IMO.

[Keeper]

Cubs sign Marlon Byrd for 3 years.

[riverside sluggers]

Great signing, 3 years/.$15 million

[a700hitter]

If they can manage to add Sheets' date=' and maybe a Bedard type they might have a shot at the WC IMO.[/quote']If they added both Sheets and Bedard, they would still have a rotation where only 2 pitchers could be counted on to take the ball for 30 starts-- Santana and Pelfrey.

[Cocos Disciples]

Randy Johnson will announce his retirement today.

[BoSox21]

Randy Johnson will announce his retirement today.

 

You think he'll yell at everyone to get their cameras out of his face and not to talk back to him?

Looks like Chapman is going to the Reds for 30million/5 years.

[riverside sluggers]

Wow never thought theyd be in the mix.

[Spudboy]

I'm glad the Sox did not blow a wad on this kid. Poor cost/benefit risk.

 

It's also good he won't be in pinstripes.

 

Go Reds! Lol.

[Keeper]

Reds desperately need SP. I was actually thinking the other day it's amazing how few great pitchers they've had in their long history. When you talk about the Big Red Machine, you never talk about the pitching.

[26 to 6]

I think it's a good fit for Chapman. He won't have the pressure he would in Boston or New York, and they can take their time with his development. All in all good deal on both ends, IMO.
