All the Dodgers were missing is the one ACE. Lets see C. Lee out pitch Halladay twice in a series instead of Kuroda. Great fielding, Best bullpen, decent hitting. Just need the ACE to go with Kershaw and Billingsly next year.

i agree about the jays not being able to keep up with the yanks and sox. but if you think the jays are just gonna except a few dodger minor leaguers for halladay your crazy lol. the jays turned down some pretty sick offers and still clung to halladay for dear life. i dont think a few dodger prospects will get them more excited to trade doc than most of the other offers they had lol

sick.


i wonder what moves the yanks are gonna make to fill in for matsui and damon although i wish it wasnt their last year. the bombers will probably resign nady since they seem pretty fond of him. its also nice to see that molina is going to be a free agent this year, iv never really liked molina. id like to see hairston stick around for next year tho, he can play just about any position on defense and hes a cool guy. i also wonder if the yankees will try and make a move for matt holliday and what moves they will make for a starting pitcher if pettitte retires.

Yanks will probably resign either Matsui or Damon for the purpose of continuity. I don't think they'll resign Nady when Crawford and Holliday are available out there.

Who they make a starter between Joba and Hughes will be interesting. They might bring up Melancon so that might crowd the bullpen and one of those two have to be a starter. If they can sign Harden for cheap I would like to see them take a risk on him.

The last rumor I heard was the Jays saying they would leave our major league roster alone and take any 4 minor leaguers they wanted. Dodgers turned them down at the deadline.

ya after looking at the list you posted i was thinkin also that rich harden would be a pretty good signing. this year was supposed to be wandy rodriguez's last year on contract with the 'stros too but i didnt see him on the free agent list you posted. wandy rodriguez is my favorite pitcher so id be thrilled if the yankees signed him but im not sure how he'd fare in the al east.


also i just clicked on yankees rumours on the site you posted and it said the yankees are intrested in signing johnny damon may be willing to offer a 2 year $16 million deal, and if he doesnt sign with the yankees he will most likely end up with the giants or white sox

akinori iwamura was traded from the rays to the pirates for 26 year old RP jesse chavez who had an era of 4.01 ERA in 67.3 innings as a rookie

i feel like the 'stros have had the same line up for years now. like nothing about their team ever changes except for pitching. just to think one year the 'stros had roger clemens, andy pettitte, roy oswalt, wandy rodriguez and brandon backe all in the same rotation lol

This is a really poor FA class, And as an Angels fan I'm not very optimistic about this offseason cuz we have 5 of the top FA's on the market this year.

[mycorona135]

Hoping the Angels resign Abreu for 2 years I guess, then go after Aldoris Chapman even though I doubt we can get him. Lackey vlad and figgins will all prob get offered more money elsewhere forcing us to bring up wood, possibly DH napoli, start Mathis and acquire a new ace.
