MrRain422 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Gerald Laird to Detroit for two prospects. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I once attended a Rangers-White Sox game where I mocked Gerald Laird's mug. Then he had a career game (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_/ai_n16454442) and the White Sox got trounced. I felt somewhat responsible. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Let's go see some Tigers/Sox games this year. Maybe your magic will work again. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 One of the best pitchers of all time. What a career.yep Link to post Share on other sites
CrushOfVeils80 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Laird is a solid vet catcher, he is good behind the plate and a good clubhouse guy, they were able to trade him cuz the Rangers have 3 young catchers they are high on in Salty, Taylor Teagarden, and Max Ramierz who might be the best of the bunch but is still young, Texas is still trying to trade Salty to the Bo Sox......good trade by my Rangers, anyone who can pitch is always welcome...unless its like Chan Ho park Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 So, Santo doesn't get in the HOF. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He really wasn't a HoF player. Very good, but not good enough, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He really wasn't a HoF player. Very good, but not good enough, IMO.I know it's subjective, but I think you're wrong here. Check the stats. Especially in the categories valued in today's game, he definitely deserved it. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Looks like the Tigers are about to sign Adam Everett and are making a move for Kerry Wood. I'm not really high on either of these guys, but they're decent short term fill-ins I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Bill James lists Santo in his top 100 players of all time. Basically, Santo was a prick during his playing years, which probably explains his absence more than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 What does bobbobb say about this Santo character? Link to post Share on other sites
CrushOfVeils80 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Santo should be in the HOF I think, 3rd base is pretty thin all time and he really stands out Also, Wood was very good last year, he would be a good fit with the Tigers, Im excited to see Marmol dominate the NL this year as the Cubs closer Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 BOS to unveil new uniforms on Thirsday... "Purists, beware: Thursday, the Red Sox have plans to unveil Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Dodgers sign Mark Loretta. K-Rod likely to sign with the Mets by the end of the Winter meetings. Tigers looking at J.J. Putz. Red Sox interested in Pettitte. Three team deal in the works to send Peavy to the Cubs, and some Phillies prospects to San Diego, with Mark DeRosa and possibly Jason Marquis headed to Philadelphia. Giambi likely to sign with Oakland. The Rangers are shopping Michael Young, though will probably have trouble finding a team willing to take his big contract (5 years, $80 million left on it).

CrushOfVeils80 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nobody will take Young, a huge contrats for a SS with limited range and a singles hitter, he is a good player and clutch hitter and a good club house guy but I dont know why my Rangers gave him so much money.....I have heard Ozzie really likes him and wants him as a White Sock to play 2nd with Alexei Ramirez at SS if Texas is able to trade Young than Elvis Andrus will start at SS who had 54 steals in AA last year and will bat leadoff right away Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Those red tops Boston had were not that great looking, but better than those hideous Pirates ones. Not really a fan of solid red for baseball uniforms. Link to post Share on other sites
