Lorenzo Cain not being a GG Finalist seems funny after this October. Adam Jones and JJ Hardy beat out Eaton and Alexei.

Gold Gloves being announced. Live updates here... http://m.mlb.com/news/article/100537486/go...nners-announced

Viciedo will be traded before the Winter Meetings, and maybe before December 2. I find it very unlikely he's with the Sox next year.

Top 3's being announced now... Rookie of the Year AL- Abreu, Betances, Shoemaker NL- deGrom, Hamilton, Wong Manager AL- Scioscia, Showalter, Yost NL- Bochy, Hurdle, Williams Cy Young AL- Hernandez, Kluber, Sale NL- Cueto, Kershaw, Wainwright MVP AL- Brantley, Martinez, Trout NL- Kershaw, McCutchen, Stanton

The 30 for 30 tonight is on Livan and El Duque Hernandez.

Foot injury for Bassitt. Just being cautious.

https://twitter.com/BerniePleskoff/status/529718236670341121 I'm assuming this is nothing. Bassitt had a long, weird year. Should be competing in March.

Paul Molitor's wife is named Destini.

Player's Choice winner... http://m.mlb.com/video/v36892253/abreu-on-...ng-rookie-award

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) Isn't that November 12th? I thought gold gloves were tomorrow. They're announcing the top 3 for all of the categories tomorrow at 5pm. Since Sale has no shot at top 2, we'll see if he's third. The Player's Choice awards were announced in the last hour, and Felix, Kluber, and Sale were top 3 (Felix won). So maybe that will be the same tomorrow. BTW, Jose Abreu won the Rookie award (shocker!)

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) How early are the earliest free agent signings? (Generally) Torii Hunter signed early with the Tigers two years ago, and that was November 16. I wouldn't expect anything major until the Winter Meetings (Dec 8-11)

Tomorrow we find out if Sale finished third in the Cy.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Did you include Konerko and Paulino? Ah yeah. Konerko and Lindstrom are still there. 37 it is.

The Sox press release says the 40-man is at 37. With Shuck and Jones added, I count 39.

Maddon knows his s***. Good hire.

I remember him playing some awful LF in Anaheim. Not sure if it was just a bad series.

Wrong side of 30, and numbers are regressing...and the money. Pass. Hopefully the Sox have two types of targets- young talent and 1-2 year deals for veterans that could hopefully catch lightning in a bottle.

Michael Taylor elected for free agency.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) I believe that CH is the only ? in the group for starting in B'ham. He's the toughest call, imo. Buddy Bell already said Hawkins will be in Birmingham to start the season. The real question is how many seasons will he be there.

http://baseballhall.org/hall-of-fame/2015-...ommittee-ballot I hope Roland Hemond does a good job presenting Minoso's case. He clearly belongs in; it's a shame he's not already. Billy Pierce and Dick Allen also on the ballot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 11:08 PM) No way. He played four games and got dropped, does he really get a ring ? All 46 players the Giants used get rings. Coaching staff, front office, scouts, etc. They hand them out pretty liberally these days.

Will Dan Patrick stop calling him Baumgardner now?
