Power Ranks

Lots of movers due to the trade deadline... and the fact that I haven't done this in a while. 1. LA Angels- Just picked up Big Tex from Atlanta to fix their only weakness. This team is scary good, and now they may just be the team to beat in the AL. 2. Chicago Cubs- I hate him, but I do hope Mark Cuban does buy the team... he could be great for baseball. 3. Tampa Bay Rays- If these guys … [Read more...]
The Aftermath

So after a very tense 24 hours, Manny will be going to the Dodgers instead of the Marlins. It was really close, almost complete except apparently Pittsburgh balked at the end and tried to get more prospects out of the Marlins. Fortunately, our front office stood firm, the Marlins didn't wind up getting ripped off, and LA stepped in for us to make Pittsburgh and Boston happy. I don't … [Read more...]

It’s ALIVE…
July 31, 2008 By Leave a Comment
FOX now has changed their headline from "Dead" to "It's Alive". Rosenthal only mentions that the trade may be "back on". Peter Gammons just said on ESPNnews (TV) that they may be bringing Tampa into the discussion. I am totally going nuts right now... 2 minutes to deadline. … [Read more...]
Manny Trade May Be “Dead”
July 31, 2008 By Leave a Comment
According to Fox and ESPN, the deal for Manny Ramirez may be dead due to Pittsburgh wanting more for Jason Bay. However, like Ken Rosenthal said, these deals have a tendancy to revive themselves in a hurry. Maybe the Marlins and the Red Sox will drop Pittsburgh from the discussion? I don't think that this deal is totally "dead", but Pittsburgh's greed may be an insurmountable obstacle, and … [Read more...]

July 31, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Welcome to Miami Gardens, Arthur. Today, the Marlins have traded pitching prospect Gaby Hernandez to Seattle for 17 year veteran Arthur Rhodes. Rhodes is a 39 year old lefty reliever who has been enjoying a great season up in the Pacific Northwest: 2.86 era, 1.36 WHIP in 36 appearances. Keep in mind that those 36 appearances are unnaturally low, Seattle hasn't had too many leads going into … [Read more...]
Manny to South Beach Part II
July 30, 2008 By 2 Comments
So this Manny thing might have some wheels... now ESPN.com's Buster Olney and FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal are reporting that the Marlins are in "serious discussions" with Boston over Manny for two or three players in return, either Hermida or Willingham "plus pitchers". Hmmm... Seems like Senor Berardino over at Sun-Sentinel.com largely agrees with my opinion of the situation, and expounds … [Read more...]
