Young has been an above average regular at [...]

Jim Ed Rice FINALLY entered the Hall of Fame today on his 15th and last try. Rice, after narrowly missing the 75% needed last year, finally eclipsed that mark with 76.4%. Rice was the AL MVP in 1978 hitting .315, 46 HRs and 215 hits and 139 RBIs.Also voted in was Rickey Henderson. He somehow managed only to get only a little under 95% of the ballot, which means a total of 28 people...

The contracts that have been cranked out of Yawkey Way during the last week have me thinking back to when we had roughly seven different first basement, 2 third basemen, closer by committee, Nomar, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Michael Young wants out of Texas after being asked to move from SS to 3B. Should the Minnesota Twins pursue him? Only if they want to pay a steep price for steadily declining production. Don't hold your breath.
