He will, but he'll see a heckuva lot more right handed pitching ;)

Mets offer deals to (shocker) Bengie Molina, and (lets pray) Jason Bay.

I was looking for a solid #2 to move everybody down a slot after Johan, but not sure that is going to happen with these deals on the table.

It's official. After two years of not playing, Barry Bonds' agent is reporting that Barry is retiring from baseball.

Too funny...Mets going after Jason Bay. He came up with the Mets...think maybe they regret letting him go years ago?

They said he is not officially retireing, he is just not playing baseball anymore. :r Hopefully we will not have to hear about him for another 3+ years.

After 2 years of no takers, I think he's starting to reailze 45 is a good age to retire.

No disrespect, he IS the home run king after all.

I did not like him when he was a skinny kid playing for the Pirates. When he is eligable for the HoF in a few years the debates are going to take over the sports world. I am looking forward to no Bonds talk for a few years until then.

Philly letting Cliff Lee go for Halladay? I gotta say this is a bonehead move...pay Lee what he wants. He was money for you this year.

MedicCook 12-14-2009 09:52 PM

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 
I can see the reasoning if they felt like they were not going to be able to resign him after this year. They will have Doc for the next 4 years nows and they keep their #1 pitching prospect.

The other news is that Lackey and the Red Sox are close to a deal and the Red Sox have made an offer to the Cuban defector.

kelmac07 12-14-2009 10:09 PM

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 
But Drabek is part of the deal...I just don't see their reasoning. They just don't want to wrap a whole ton of money into Lee.

That's a change from what I heard earlier then. It still could fall apart and the Yankees get him. :r

I don't mind the way the trade is looking. Philly with Lee and Halladay would be quite scary. Philly with just Halladay makes them a little bit better, but not considerably so.

The other moves don't bother me so much. Lackey going to Boston was actually a bit of a relief, rather him than Halladay. He's a very good pitcher but not a great one imho. The Yankees can hit him. And I think they are crazy giving him a bigger contract than what Burnett got, he's not as good as AJ.

Cameron is old and no Bay or Holliday. He's past his prime, I hope he becomes Bostons everyday left fielder :tu

Cameron also has played very little in LF and now he will be playing in the hardest LF in baseball.

Sox pick up Juan Pierre for a leadoff role.

The White Sox are looking a lot better going into 2010. They have one of the best pitching rotations Ive seen in years.

Angels locked up Matsui. Guess that means Vlad is done with the Angels. Matsui was a good player, i'll miss him.

MedicCook 12-16-2009 06:48 PM

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 
The Mets should sign Vlad. He would fit in well with the DL Mets. :r
