Red Sox acquire Victor Martinez from Cleveland.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Where the heck are they putting him?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

cbssports.com has it confirmed.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They have him for 1B, C & DH. It is definately a good pick for them. A nice bat and now relief for their older players that are breaking down.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He's 30, soon to be 31. Not exactly young. And he can't be an every-game catcher because of knee problems, so he's sitting basically in the same spot that Laroche was yesterday. He's there to sub for Youkilis, Lowell Ortiz or Varitek. I suppose that gives them a bit more versatility in resting people, but still. What they really needed was a SS with a bat and at least a little bit of fielding prowess. You know, the kind of guy who won't make the closer blow a three-run lead in the 9th by making two absurd errors...

I kind of like it when Pap blows leads in the 9th. :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Hearing reports that the Yankees got Jerry Hairston Jr :(

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Is he the new bat boy? :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

My head is spinning from all these last minute moves!!! LaRoche back to the Braves...what did they trade him to Pittsburgh to begin with??? Martinez to the Red Sox...like others, where is he gonna play, especially with them just picking up Kotchman. Peavy to the White Sox for four un-proven minor leaugers? Sounds like a GREAT deal for the White Sox, terrible for the Padres. And there are still a few hours until midnight!!

We got smoked tonight.

Hold my hand, I'm not doing so well.

Timmy was an animal tonight!!!

GO GIGANTES!!! GO!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thanks for helping us by beating those Phils!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

A little late because I was away this weekend, but I have to say that Cliff Lee is an animal. If that first start was a sign of things to come, I think I might be in love. Shame the rest of the team isn't swinging the bat very well all of the sudden.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I had a blast at the ball park today, we smoked Philly!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nothing better than a day at the ballpark!!!

:D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Well, the Yankees stop their slide, with Melky hitting for the cycle. If he can just do that every night, we might stay inna race.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Telling games coming up for both the Yankees and the Sox this weekend, 4 game series at that park in the Bronx that was not built by Ruth.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The House That Jeter Built has been kind so far. :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It will be a good series I think. Boston is playing better and the Yankees win in streaks so who knows. If they get swept again i think i'll just throw in the towel for the year :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We scored 7 mins into our first game of the series against HOU. :tu
