Man.  Step away from the game for a while and your "sources" fall to shit! Smiley  Massive fail on this one!

Texas wins the posting, close to 51 million.  Wow.


So the Rangers gave $52 million to Yu Darvish, but wouldn't keep CJ Wilson?   Huh Huh

Couldn't...or didn't want to?  If I am the Angels I am wondering "what do they know that we don't" at this point.

I said it earlier - CJ Wilson = left handed John Lackey.

Any Japanese pitcher is an unknown commodity, but it should be noted that he KILLED the Japanese league. His career averages are on par with Dice K's best seasons, and Daisuke was supposedly the best there was at the time.

The Yankees need pitching badly too and they publicly said they weren't interested in Wilson, so that says a lot about him too.

Everything I am hearing about Darvish is the same thing I heard I Daisuke.  A+ fastball (95+), amazing curve, amazing offspeed, blah blah blah.

Let's see how it actually pans out when he gets here.

Now here is a HUGE difference:  Darvish is half Japanese / half Iranian.  So he has a different cultural outlook than Daisuke / different work ethic.

The Bailey thing has been brewing for a long time.  I am actually surprised at how little the A's got in return, especially in light of what they got for Gio Gonzales.  Reddick is a nice player but I don't think he will ever be an impact one.  I think Andrew Bailey has a lot of upside.

Christ, just fire Billy Beane already. He can't use the small market excuse anymore because of the Rays and his teams have sucked for over 5 years. Just throw him giving away Andrew Bailey when the price for pitchers is at a high, and he has got to go.

Excellent trade for Boston. They have made their bullpen a strength. Of course, relievers are fickle, but you do the best you can and just have to let the players play.

In closing, Billy Beane sucks.

i'm sure Lil B might be happy, Carlos Zambrano traded to Miami

http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7425259/source-chicago-cubs-trading-carlos-zambrano-miami-marlins

The Chicago Cubs are trading Carlos Zambrano to the Miami Marlins, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The deal, which is pending physicals, requires the Cubs to pay $15 million of the $18 million owed Zambrano in 2012. Zambrano has a $19 million vesting option for 2013 if he finishes in the top four for the Cy Young Award.

The Cubs will receive veteran right-handed pitcher Chris Volstad.

Zambrano has a full no-trade clause in his contract, but the possibility of pitching for friend and former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen may have played a role in negotiations.

Zambrano has had several highly publicized emotional outbursts with the Cubs. He had a dugout altercation with former teammate Derrek Lee in 2010 while facing the White Sox in U.S. Cellular Field, leading to a suspension. After that game, Zambrano had dinner with Guillen, who supported his friend.

Zambrano left Atlanta's Turner Field during a game in 2011, leading to him being put on the disqualified list. He was activated on Sept. 11 but did not pitch again for the Cubs.

New Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said on Nov. 15 -- after meeting with Zambrano -- that Zambrano would have to show significant change to be accepted back by his teammates.

The right-hander has been playing winter ball in Venezuela.

Meanwhile, pitcher Chad Gaudin says he has reached agreement on a minor league deal with the Marlins and received an invitation to spring training.

Read a great headline in The Onion (mobile version) today about the Jesus Montero trade. The headline (from 1/20) read:

"Seattle Mariners Hope Jesus Montero Can Get Good Enough To One Day Sign With Yankees"
