Wow! Didn't see Pablo Sandoval leaving San Francisco...and the Red Sox sign Hanley Ramirez too. Talk about big off-season moves.

 

Hanley might not be all that big of a move, he's been injured each season in LA. 

 

Stanton signs for 325 million with Florida

 

Haywood traded to the Cards for Kelly.

Are they counting on these guys pitching too, they have nothing left for starters?

They are trying to get Lester back, but it's going to co$t them big if they do.

I guess a nice thing about being a Sox fan is I know the team really doesn't need to worry too much about money. I'm a little excited about Sandoval because third base has been weak the last two years. I'm not sure where Hanley fits in. I guess it has to be a corner outfield spot. This makes a logjam in the outfield and opens up a probable cespedes trade for pitching.

Maybe they can trade Cespedes back to Oakland for a starting pitcher (or 2). ?

My good friend who I had the privilege to coach in bantam hockey Darin Erstad is on the ballot. Only player to win a Gold Glove in the outfield and the infield. Also he was the first leadoff hitter to have 100 RBI. Played the game the right way. 110% without any help from illegal drugs. Jamestown pride.

Erstad was the No. 1 overall pick in 1995 and debuted that same year with the Angels, finishing sixth in AL Rookie of the Year Award voting. He collected a league-leading 240 hits with 25 home runs and 100 RBIs in 2000 to earn his second and final All-Star selection. He also was a two-time Gold Glove Award winner. Erstad spent 11 of his 14 years with the Angels, closing his career with a year with the White Sox and two with the Astros. He was a .282/.336/.407 career hitter with 124 homers and 179 stolen bases.

Erstad isn't getting in as a 1st ballot HoF.

Totally aware of that. If they voted on sheer work ethic and doing it the right way he'd be in easily. Guy had a hell of a career. To even get on the ballot is an achievement in its own.

Sorry, but I don't see Erstad as a HOFer. If Tim Raines and Alan Trammell aren't in, I don't see Erstad either.

Red Sox are loaded with young pitching talent and have a number of young position players in the farm system including a couple of catchers. They will need to decide how much young talent they will give up to get veteran pitching. They also need to figure how many if any of the young arms are ready for the majors.

I don't think anyone does. The fact that he is North Dakota born and raised and is on the ballot is an accomplishment in itself.

Not sure what there is to appeal about doing 100+ mph in a 55 zone...but there's never a shortage of attorneys willing to take a case, is there?

Apparently his drivers license got pretty "tight" as well :)

Where's the public outrage over this? 

 

Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson hurt one person. Werth, going that fast on the DC beltway, could have killed dozens.

Dodgers making lots of moves:

Dee Gordon, Dan Haren, and Miguel Rojas to Miami for Andrew Heaney, Enrique Hernadez, Chris Hatcher, and Austin Barnes. 

Andrew Heaney to the Angels for Howie Kendrick.

Matt Kemp and Time Federowicz to San Diego for Yasmani Grandal, Joe Wieland, and a prospect.

They also have a trade for Jimmy Rollins and a deal in place with Brandon McCarthy but those aren't official yet.

Tigers rumored to be trading Rick Porcello to the Red Sox for Yoenis Cespedes...

Also some reports they are close on a 2nd trade today that will bring in another starting pitcher and it is rumored to be with the Reds.
