Shirek is 27. Seems like a weird last minute decision since they already announced the other four first. Maybe a team wants him, but they don't want to chance it in the Rule 5, so the Sox protected him to trade him.

AFL Championship-- Peoria beat Salt River 4-3 . Brian Goodwin called out for leaving 3rd too early on a tag up, otherwise it would have been 4-4. Sanchez had a couple hits, stolen base, and a couple runs. Good base running, going 1st to 3rd on a single to LF. Santos Rodriguez looked pretty good. Struck out Mike Zunino, who had 3 hits. Billy Hamilton crashed into the wall and hurt his back, but he looked ok after the game ended. Smiling at least. Can't be too serious.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) A lot of anti Tiger bias here. Triple Crown winner, played in every game but one, I give it to Cabrera because of the Triple Crown. That is so tough to do these days. Just for the record, my Trout pick has nothing to do with "anti-Tiger" bias. Not one bit.

After hearing the Royals are poised for a big trade, I'm ready for the Sox to make a move. First semi-big move...I think Beckham gets traded. The Sox will sign a decent replacement to hold down the fort until they think Sanchez is ready. But I think Sanchez is close enough that they'll move Beckham sooner or later.

I think Trout deserves it, but Cabrera will win it and it won't be that close. The Triple Crown will clinch it for too many voters, and I think to an extent, a lot of voters will rationalize it by thinking, "Trout is so good that he'll probably win it some other year where he's played a full season on a playoff team in a year where there wasn't a Triple Crown." If there are 28 voters, I'm predicting 18-10 in favor of Cabrera.

Salt River clinched their spot in the championship game. MLB Network--Saturday at 2 central I would assume Sanchez will start. Not sure about Wilkins or Thompson. And Rienzo left, as was mentioned.

Not shocked at all about Torii Hunter going to Detroit. You could tell that's where he wanted to go, and he's basically a perfect fit for them.

Logan Morrison is a 1st class piece of s***.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 09:06 AM) I'm gunna throw out a crazy trade idea, and it'll prolly not happen. Floyd for Buehrle. Of course it won't happen because why would the Sox want 3 lefties in the rotation. Buehrle and Floyd do the same thing...take the ball, provide innings, and at the end of the season, your team will go about .500 when they start. Floyd, being righty at 9.5 mil, is a much better value than Buehrle, who has 3 years/48 mil left on his contract. The more I let this trade sink in, the more I think the Marlins undid their stupidity from last offseason, and the Blue Jays are taking a huge risk with these guys. It's very possible this trade will end up being lose/lose.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) They bet the ranch on Ozzie and some free agents and it bombed. They royally f***ed the Marlins fanbase. On the flip side, its ENTIRELY feasible that Mark could be headed back to us if we wanted him. As much as I like Buehrle as a person, he's still overpaid for what he does. Truthfully, Gavin Floyd is a better value for 2013.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) this trade is...wow. what a joke, selig should not allow this to happen I agree. Loria is a joke, and this is the kind of trade that a commissioner could veto, and nobody would fault Selig for doing it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) They would get laughed at. I'm laughing at you.

Sox should trade Viciedo, Thompson, Sanchez, Santiago, and any two other eligible-to-be-traded milb players to the Marlins for Stanton.

Ventura- 12 3rd place votes for Manager of the Year.

Henderson Alvarez to Miami.

When does this turn into a 3-way deal involving the Sox and Reyes and Buehrle going to Chicago?

How do we get Stanton on the south side?

Sanchez 2-4, 4 RBIs today.

Good chance the Salt River team with the Sox players will be on MLB Network on Saturday at 2 if they hold on to their division lead.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:53 AM) Know what's closer to South Bend than Detroit? Chicago. Yeah, but he probably drooling thinking about being in their lineup.

Today is Courtney Hawkins 19th birthday. Big leagues before 21?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:56 AM) Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS #tigers, #rangers among teams eying @toriihunter, who said he'll sign quick I have a feeling he's going to be a Tiger. Good team and fairly close to South Bend when his son will be there next year.

Somebody on twitter is trying hard to spread the word that catcher Bryan Anderson is coming to the Sox from St. Louis. He was outrighted to AAA Memphis last week. Possible, I guess.
