The Twins are open to trading a potential Ace because he wants $11m-$12/year for 3 years but the won't have a problem picking up all of an aging, poor defensive 2nd base's salary at $16m / year / 3...

Ogando does have the more refined tools. But, since they traded Franky, they have to know they have Lowe totally healthy again before they will take Ogando out of that important 8th inning role. ...

I think Texas will put Feliz back into the closer role this year. I think they will use this year to begin working on his secondary pitches to be used more frequently than last year. I think this...

By the age of 7? He will forget by the age of 3 1/3rd.

Looks like some guys have naughty....lol.

It would be comparable to JD getting Lee last July if he landed Liriano this spring. Liriano is worth giving up Scheppers and then some. He isn't Greinke but he is better than Garza.

Young,...

I keep thinking he will go no where but Surprise, Arizona for spring training - be the DH and Super Sub for at least one year.

I'll sweep them up for a mere $1m. Where do I apply?

A line-up without Young is damaged. We will get Lopez back if the trade ends up with Colorado. The 2008 and even 2009 Lopez might be acceptable but the 2010 Lopez would be a major disappointment. ...

When the winter meeting shopping happened it was Rosenthal who broke the story. In his story he quoted Michael Young..."Young is OK with going to Colorado, etc."

Have you thought that probably...

Sounds like ARod deja vu.

Now the word coming out is that a possible deal is on hold because of the dollars involved. The Rockies are insisting on Texas tossing in $20m. If they do it, is it really much of a salary dump? ...

Wonder what parting shots Young will take at JD? I think it is apparent JD doesn't believe in Young and Young doesn't like JD.

Urgency? It could be coming from three directions:

1. Young may actually be the one demanding a trade. Maybe he has changed his mind. Maybe when Napoli arrived he decided that his AB's were...

They definitely will have a tough line-up. No question. Still no pitching ... no bullpen.

Normally, I would say you are right but this time...I don't know. When Jamey Newberg tweets that this is a possibility it means it has legs. All he has to do is call or text MY or JD, for that...

An Oriole for $8m.

Texas has the most amazing depth I have ever seen in a Ranger team. Their line-up, bench, offensive balance and defensive flexibility is absolutely amazing. Their bullpen, with Feliz as the closer...

Dangerous road to start down even in jest! :)

Bush had good years in the NL in 2006 & 2008. But, that isn't the AL nor Arlington. He had some good starts last year. He is depth. But, Bush is a known entity. He is a fill-in for a few hopeful...

The story out of Toronto is pure manufactured bull. MY is staying in Texas.
