Jason Bay wins his first Silver Slugger Award with the Sox.
We will see how much more that drives up his asking price?
I seriously doubt he will be back with the Sox next season?

MedicCook · 11-13-2009, 09:50 AM

Jeter & Teixeira both won Silver Slugger Awards.

MedicCook · 11-18-2009, 09:29 PM

AL Manager of the Year is Mike Scioscia manager of the Angels.

NL Manager of the Year is Jim Tracey manager of the Rockies.

Good choices on both.

I thought Ron Washington was gonna get AL manager of the year. Scioscia was a good pick I guess, surprised Girardi didn't get much attention since he won a WS.

Probably because he was expected to have a good winning team. The award is also voted on before postseason starts.

And Scioscia didn't? The Angels have a mighty big payroll too.

MedicCook · 11-18-2009, 10:23 PM

I think the Angels had more negatives happen to them starting with the death, then having most of their starters go on the DL, and some other big position player injuries. I really never expect a Yankees Manager to ever win this award. It is difficult for any Yankee to win these awards since they have so many haters amoung the sports writers.

MedicCook · 12-01-2009, 10:11 AM

And the way the Mets seems to hit the DL you know he will be starting by May.

MedicCook · 12-01-2009, 10:44 AM

Roy Halladay has put some pressure on the Blue Jays and the rest of baseball. It is being reported that he will only approve a trade this offseason. If he is not traded before he reports to spring training he will not waive his no-trade clause because he does not want to deal with what happened this past season.

Good for him. The way the Jays handled the situation around the deadline was poor.

Doc even said that was what caused him to lose focus. It will be interesting to see who gets him if anyone this winter.

MedicCook · 12-02-2009, 08:13 AM

Bily Wagner has signed with the Atlanta Braves. $7M for 2010 and a $6.5M option for 2011.

MedicCook · 12-03-2009, 10:30 PM

The Red Sox have signed Marco Scutaro for 2 years with an option for a 3rd year.

MedicCook · 12-05-2009, 12:17 AM

Chone Figgins has jumped to the Mariners. 4 years and $36M.

He could have gotten more...

MedicCook · 12-08-2009, 12:30 AM

Pudge goes to the Washington Nationals, 2 yrs $6M.

Brad Penny goes to the St. Louis Cardinals, 1 yr $7.5M + $1.5M in performance bonuses.

Pudge is a great player. Good luck to him with the Nationals thought

Looks like the three way blockbuster between the Tigers, Yanks, and Dbacks is going through. Yankees get Granderson, tigers get Coke, Max Scherzer, Daniel Schlereth, Austin Jackson, Phil Coke, Dbacks get Jackson and Ian Kennedy.

Now it's REALLY unlikely Matsui is coming back. I say Damon does as DH.

Granderson is gonna fit in perfectly and excell in Yankee Stadium.

It's gonna be really painful to be a Red Sox fan for quite some time.

MedicCook · 12-09-2009, 06:46 PM

The Brewers are getting Randy Wolfe 3 yrs $29.75M.

The Rangers traded Kevin Millwood and $3M to the Orioles for Chris Ray and a player to be named later.

The Marlins traded Matt Lindstrom to the Astros for 2 low level minor league players.
