MLB 2012 Thread

Sox could be in the hunt for two of Cuba's top players, Cespedes and Soler. With the White Sox history with Cuban players, those two players know how good Chicago is towards the Island natives. Plus we have Dayan Viciedo and the Cuban Missile Alexei Ramirez campaigning for us. And let's not forget 2005 and the great Cuban players that won the Championship
Man I would die to get those two players on the South Side.

We're still realistically a year away from competing, but it'll be fun watching the young guys continue to grow. Plus, Kansas City is hosting the All-Star game, so there's a level of excitement here for baseball that I haven't seen in a few years. Go Royals!

I love this picture. Any other city have all 4 major Championships in the past 30 or so years? And Sir Jerry is in a league of his own. Bulls and Sox. Nuff said.

Boston has won all 4 in the past 10 years

Waiting to see what the Tigers decide to do with Martinez being out. That bat will be hard to replace. Getting a healthy Boesch back will help.

You could argue the Pats. I really don't see them as a part of Boston. Isn't Foxboro a good 45 mins south of Boston? I guess that's close enough for Boston to take claims

I was gonna say, as much as I'd like to, how could one forget about Bahston?

Somebody told me they were looking at acquiring Alfonso Soriano.

Please, God, no.

Whenever my fiancé and I go to the ballpark, we play this cute little game that helps keep her interested. I kiss her on the strikes and she kisses me on the balls.

Heard that too, Pops. I will swear off baseball if that happens. Carlos Pena was the favorite until he signed back with the Rays. I wish Illitch would take a Red Wings approach and just sign Prince Fielder. I know there is zero chance of that but it would be awesome.

Some rumors going around that Delmon Young's brother and former Tiger Dmitri Young, wants to make a comeback. I'm not excited about that option either. There's also Hideki Matsui, Bobby Abeau, Resigning Ordonez, Vlad Gurerro, Manny Ramirez, Trading for Carlos Lee, Johnny Damon and Derek Lee. It's a matter of taking a gamble on the right guy. A lefty would be preferred considering the Tigers right handed heavy lineup. I think it would be better if we could find someone to bat behind Cabrera rather than in front of him.

Mr. I answered my wish!! Tigers sign Prince Fielder today, 9 years $214million Now what to do when Vmart comes back from injury..

Prince Fielder Signing

My next wish, Mr. Illitch is for my own 9 year $214million contract. Or a job in the front office when I graduate

Well, this certainly raises MY level of excitement!
