TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Cincinnati Reds

A_1_1arays_195359_0306
It appears the Marlins are set on stockpiling 3B talent to replace Miguel Cabrera's power. The Marlins inked Jose Castillo to a contract in December and now have inked Jorge Cantu to a deal as well to compete for the starting gig. MLB is reporting? MLB.com has learned from a Major League Baseball Players Association source that the Marlins reached agreement on Thursday with Cantu on a one-year contract worth $500,000, plus incentives that could tack on another $100,000 based on plate appearances. The deal is expected to be announced today. I have no problem with this deal. Why not get as many options as possible to replace one of the greatest hitters in franchise history. No sense settling on a guy like Castillo.

What to make of Dontrelle’s day

The final line isn’t at all impressive. Three walks in three innings of work. But the third inning was a clean inning, and against some good hitters in Bobby Abreu, Miguel Cabrera (who fanned), and Magglio Ordonez. So what do you make of the day? Those 3 walks all came in the second inning, and included [...]

Slow start to 2008

So it's been a slow start to 2008 for blogging. Guess I've been too busy (minor understatement). But spring is here and spring training is under way.

Tigers Extend Cabrera

Via knucklecurve.com  |  March 24, 2008
According to ESPN, the Detroit Tigers have inked “third baseman” Miguel Cabrera to an 8-year, $153 million contract extension. With the understanding that the economics of baseball are inherently insane, this strikes me as pretty darned good value. Cabrera was my dark horse candidate for ...

Transaction Matter: Marlins Sign Jose Castillo

Via SporTech Matter  |  December 25, 2007
While no one is going to come in and replace Miguel Cabrera's offensive production, the Marlins have begun the search of finding his replacement. At this point it looks like any warm body who can somewhat play is going to get a chance. After reading about a rumor of the Marlins signing both Jose Castillo and Jorge Cantu from a reader on MB.com, I became skeptical. As of yesterday...

I Have a Mancrush on Howie Kendrick

Opening Day!

Via TribeScribe  |  April 10, 2008
(11:00 am PDT - Pregame warmup) Tigers and Royals are the only game going so far. Here are a few early trends I'd like to see continue: Ivan Rodriguez is 0-1 throwing out runners trying to steal, Miguel Cabrera is 0-2 at the plate and 0-1 on throws to first. One I'd like to jinx: Justin Verlander ...
