Mets Opening Day Roster Nearly Finalized
According to Jon Heyman: It's not clear if Heyman is speculating or has a Mets source feeding him the info, but the language ("beato to make mets") suggests the latter. If he is correct, the Opening Day roster will look like this: Bad news for Nick Evans, unless Carlos Beltran starts the season...
The Real Fred Wilpon Can't Shut Up
On Sunday, the Wilpons issued a spirited defense in response to the amended lawsuit filed against them by Irving Picard. There was nothing particularly controversial or earth-shattering in the Mets' owners' statement, apart from calling the charges "a work of fiction." Harsh words, perhaps, but no...
My Anonymous Sources...
Here is an ode to the totally out of control hot stove. Feel free to add any to my not-that-funny comments. My Anonymous Source(s)... ...is actually Scott Boras and he's behind on his payments! ...guarantee that Matt Halladay will be a Met in 2010. ...claim that Omar Minaya broke a handshake...
Brandon Inge on the Trade Block, Too?
Okay, this may be getting out of hand now. First, the Detroit Tigers let it be known that Edwin Jackson was available for trade. Then, Curtis Granderson was also dangled out there for interested teams. And now, perhaps Brandon Inge is being offered up, as well? That's what SI.com's Jon Heyman...
Afternoon Prowl: Metrodome Horror, Easy Pick Twins, Porcello's Fastball, and the Cabrera Dilemma
Joe Posnanski compares the Metrodome to the horror film slasher that just won't die. And even those who say they love the place don't really love it. Posnanski also suspects that a mutual dislike of the 'Dome among Twins fans has become a source of pride. (via Baseball Musings) Rob Neyer...
Lunchtime Prowl: The Fu-Te Ni Mixtape, All-Star Picks, Same Ol' Maggs, and Bobby Seay's Holds
Mack Avenue Tigers has more on Detroit's newest reliever, Fu-Te Ni, including a video clip "mixtape" that gives you a look at his sidearm-type delivery. It looks similar to Clay Rapada's to me, but if Ni has better control than Rapada, that obviously works in his favor. I'm very curious to see...
White Sox Not Looking For Just Any Starter
So I'm reading Jon Heyman's latest piece on likely trade targets for contending teams, when I realize that the media is missing Kenny Williams' main objective yet again. Here's what he had to say. White Sox: Their attempted trade for Jake Peavy made it clear that they're looking for an ace to...
Evening Prowl: Dontrelle's Revival, Everett's Family Life, Saluting Umpires, and Hating on Twitter
Now with FOXSports.com, Jon Paul Morosi writes about the prospective revival of Dontrelle Willis, not just as a baseball player but as a representative for the sport. Tiger Geist would love to see the Tigers and San Francisco Giants hook up on a trade. But the Giants really don't have a need...
Former Tigers Catchers Do the D-Backs Manager Shuffle
Out in Arizona, one former Detroit Tigers catcher replaces another as the manager of the Diamondbacks. Bob Melvin is out, after four full seasons in the D-Backs dugout, which included a 2007 National League Manager of the Year award. His team tumbled badly after a great start last season,...
The Astros Have Won One Game This Spring
The Astros are 1-14-3 (do you put ties at the end?) this Spring Training. That's right, they have one win, fourteen loses, and three ties. Can we contract the National League to like eight franchises? We might get some good teams that way. Seriously, one win, which includes split squad games,...
