Maybe it wasn’t above-the-fold news, but Mets fans probably took notice: the San Diego Padres hired Omar Minaya last week. After interviewing with the Angels for the once-open general manager job, this might seem like a step back for Minaya. The fit might also seem strange, considering curr...

December 05, 2011
The new look Miami Marlins weren't kidding about making a splash this offseason. They added top fantasy closer Heath Bell to a three-year deal and then, before the weekend was over, agreed to terms on a six-year deal with 2011 fantasy stud shortstop Jose Reyes. What do these moves mean for Bell and Reyes? And what about Hanley!?
Heath Bell said that he preferred to play...

#31 Robbie Erlin
San Diego Padres
DOB: 10/8/1990
Previous Rank: N/R
ETA: 2012
Erlin was the prize of the Mike Adams deal, and he is perhaps the most unique pitcher of the Top-50. While many of the elite arms on this list have blazing hot fastballs and need to come up some in terms of commanding pitches and developing useable third pitches, Erlin already has plus secondary offerings...

Omar Minaya And My Inner Cynic
The Padres added Omar Minaya to the front office yesterday in a capacity similar to the one held by Josh Byrnes in 2011 while Jed Hoyer was San Diego's General Manager. The UT's Bill Center writes:“Omar’s job will be similar to what I did last year,” said Byrnes. “I’ll be traveling a lot,” added Minaya, who was the general manager of Montreal from 2002-2004...

Dodgers add Hairston, near deal with Harang
The Los Angeles Dodgers are nearing a deal with pitcher Aaron Harang and have agreed to a $6 million, two-year contract with utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr.
Harang, a 32-year-old right-hander, was 14-7 with a 3.64 ERA last season, his first with the San Diego Padres. He made $3.5 million, and the Padres paid $500,000 to void a $5 million player option he had exercised.

The Winter Meetings are here!! The Padres have a ton of directions they can take this week and will be interesting to see where they go. While we may not see a move this week, talks will deifnitely be going on that will set up what can happen later in the off season. That being said I expect at least one player to be dealt this week. But we'll have to wait and see. Here are...

Fantasy Impact: Harang to Dodgers and Slowey to Rockies

December 06, 2011
The Winter Meetings are moving along nicely, and just this morning it was reported that two starting pitchers have agreed to pitch in the NL West, Aaron Harang and Kevin Slowey. While neither has generated the buzz that C.J. Wilson or Mark Buehrle has — and I’m not suggesting they deserve that much buzz — these moves do have fantasy significance.

ESPN Insider’s Jim Bowden tweets that the Dodgers are nearing an agreement with free agent right-hander Aaron Harang. Dylan Hernandez just tweeted the Dodgers and Harang are "very close." With Chris Capuano already in the fold, this would slide Harang into the rotation as the fifth starter.

Padres, Bell officially part ways
Now former Padres closer Heath Bell said his new Marlins uniform will take some getting used to, as the guy who replaced Trevor Hoffman with three All-Star seasons officially became the property of another team. The Padres' fans probably feel the same way.

Dodgers Sign Aaron Harang To 2-Year Deal
Per Howard Cole of the Register, the Dodgers have signed Aaron Harang to a 2-year deal, dollars currently unknown. I remember Harang mainly from his start with the A's, but he spent most of the last decade in Cincinnati following a trade for Jose Guillen, of all players. Last year, he was with the Padres, where he earned a 3.64 ERA and a 14-7 record in Petco's cavernous confines...
