Crazy Sports Radio Style Idea for a Friday

Found January 20, 2012 on Fragile Freddy's:
PLAYERS: Carl Crawford,  Aramis Ramirez,  Doug Melvin,  Yu Darvish,  Prince Fielder,  Adrian Gonzalez,  David Ortiz,  Ryan Sweeney
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Milwaukee Brewers,  Texas Rangers,  Washington Nationals,  Seattle Mariners,  Detroit Tigers

It is commonly said that the Chinese symbol for crisis is a mix of the symbols for danger and opportunity. I am pretty sure that is an urban myth but whether it is true or not there is some accuracy in the concept.A smart organization in any business can turn all but the most negative of events into a positive with smart and decisive management. The question at hand is have Yu Darvish, Aramis Ramirez and Carl Crawford conspired to present the Boston Red Sox with such an opportunity?The recent injury to Carl Crawford called into question his ability to start the 2012 season. While the Sox probably do not have a need or desire to fill his brief absence in the lineup with anything more than a Darnell McDonald type they may be able to do so in a memorable, albeit risky manner.Earlier this off-season the Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent Aramis Ramirez to ostensibly replace star slugger Prince Fielder in the lineup. In recent days Milwaukee GM Doug Melvin has said that the Br...

After spending that kind of dough it would be reasonable to assume Texas is done dipping into the free agent...

It’s interesting that on the day a good deal of the internet is on strike/ boycott/etc to protest the Anti Piracy Legislation (PIPA and SOPA) currently before Congress, there is probably the most amount of Red Sox scoopage to report… And, if you want to sign the petition (against PIPA and SOPA, not against the Sox) you can do so here…. Carl Crawford needs what?...

Nationals Extend Mike Morse, Fall Out Of Fielder Race?

The Washington Nationals today announced a two-year extension for first baseman/left fielder Mike Morse, buying out his final two arbitration years. Morse will still become a free agent after the 2013 season as he was initially able to, but does the signing take the Nationals out of the running for free agent first baseman and former Milwaukee Brewer Prince Fielder?

Via The Sport Sofa  |  January 18, 2012
By: Omar Virani With pitchers and catchers set to report to Spring Training in a month, Prince Fielder has yet to sign with a MLB team.
