RA's a Jay.

With Boston and Toronto looking a lot stronger the AL east looks like it's gonna be one hell of a battle next season.

Never have been a big fan of Josh Hamilton,but was very impressed with his Angels press conference.
With the losses of Haren and Greinke,I think the Angels still need another quality starter.

Everything really.

His relaxed manner,smiling kids,sense of humour,respect paid to the Rangers,dwelled a bit on his past openly and did only the occasional bit of God bothering.
Did a bit of reading up about him the other night,and hats off to him for changing his career and life around.
Didn't realise he was that much of a mess head a few years ago.

Pittsburgh's all-star closer Joel Hanrahan has been traded to Boston for a bag full of lemons.
WTF are the Pirates doing? :?

AJP to Texas and Swisher to Cleveland also confirmed.

they were good last year, just sucked in september, shutting down strasburg did not help. But have a very solid line up and 5 quality starters, and a lights out pen. Still dont think they are better then the Braves, dodgers and giants, but will be around the mark

WTF are the Nats doing trading Michael Morse?
A little down last season because of injury but was an absolute gun in 2011.Washington's most important hitter IMO.

On the bright side I guess Seattles DH problem has just been solved.

Not much.

A 3 way trade,Nats get starting prospect AJ Cole,Blake Treinen and another player to be named from Oakland.

Also with both the AL and NL now with 15 teams each,we'll have inter-league play on opening day with Cincy hosting the Angels.
