The Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites to sign free agent
starting pitcher Zack Greinke, according to an industry insider, while the Los
Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers are “on the outside looking in,” reports
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.
According to an industry insider, the Dodgers are the favorites
to wind up with top free agent starter Zack Greinke, with the Angels and
Rangers on the outside looking in.
As the offseason got underway, the Angels traded Ervin
Santana to the Kansas City Royals and declined Dan Haren’s option for 2013. In
doing so they appeared to put all of their eggs in Greinke’s basket, as they
made it clear they hoped to re-sign the top free agent target.

By Geoff Bilau - AngelsWin.com Senior Editor
Of all the superlatives that can be lavished upon Mike Trout’s rookie season, perhaps the simplest and most appropriate is “unprecedented,” because no rookie in Major League history reached the statistical heights Trout achieved. For that matter, no second-, third- or even 20th-year player did so, either.
And he did it all as...

If you believed in the MVP candidacy of Mike Trout over Miguel Cabrera, then the day since the announcement has likely been a frustrating one.
Obviously there was the vote itself, in which 22 of 28 members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America said that Cabrera was the more “valuable” player in 2012 — the other six did indeed vote for Trout. But beyond the outcome...

However, this event did not come to pass for, probably, the following two reasons: 1) The Rays, rightfully, felt that they were still in contention...

I'm happy to say Miguel Cabrera won the MVP. If trout did it would of been the second year in a row i had a major issue. Last season it was Verlander winning that really bothered me. After all he played in 1/5 of his team's games, so how could he be their MVP, let alone the leagues. This year Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown, it was the first time someone claimed the triple...
