TONY ARMAS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Best trades in Red Sox history since 1990
In November 1997, SP Tony Armas Jr. and SP Carl Pavano were traded to the Expos for SP Pedro Martinez. Pedro went on to win 2 consecutive Cy Young awards in 1999 and 2000. He also was the best SP in baseball during those years.
During the 1997 season SP Derek Lowe and C Jason Varitek were sent to the Red Sox for RP Heathcliff Slocumb who went to Seattle in one of the most lopsided...

Was Acquiring Pedro Martinez From the Expos for Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr. the Best Move of the Dan Duquette Era?
Selected in the 13th round of the 1994 MLB amateur draft by the Red Sox, New England native Carl Pavano expected to one day be pitching at Fenway Park. He'll do exactly that on Sunday, except he'll be wearing a Minnesota Twins jersey. Pavano, of course, was famously traded along with Tony Armas Jr. to the Montreal Expos in 1997. In return, the Red Sox received some guy named...

R.B.I. Baseball – Where Are They Now?
I was scanning some old stats the other day and came across a few old names from the 80s. It got me thinking about the very first baseball game I ever played on the old Nintendo Entertainment System, R.B.I. Baseball. My brothers and I wore this game out. It also help me as youngster to learn about other players from around the league, and helped me to hate the Red Sox at...

The Ghost(s) of Grapefruit League Openers Past
(Photo is by Jonathan Newton/Washington Post. February 15, 2007: Manny Acta on his first day of spring training.)
In the wake of yesterday's (yes, meaningless) dueling Grapefruit League stinkers by the Nationals, we decided to put on our Phil Wood hat and take a little trip down memory lane to see how the Nats have fared in Grapefruit League Openers...

Other cuts...
In other moves today the Mets have cut Jose Valentin, Tony Armas jr. and Junior Spivey. Valentin still believes he can play in the majors and while being a player/coach in Buffalo seemed like a good opportunity to begin camp, after the spring he's had he'll look elsewhere before he starts his coaching career. It appears they felt they had better options then Armas and Spivey who...

Armas arrives...
Last year at this time Tony Armas Jr. proclaimed that if he didn't make the team, he wouldn't be reporting to AAA New Orleans. After missing most of camp due to Visa issues, he relented and spent most of the season in New Orleans. Armas' best years were under Omar in Montreal, either he has ...

In addition to Bobby Kielty the Mets have signed three pitchers to minor league deals with invites to spring training.Tony Armas Jr. returns and will more then likely be a reserve in Buffalo. Last year Armas was an invite with the promise to be released if he didn't make the team, I don't think ...

Did Jim Bowden do the right thing by not moving Soriano?
I thought Jim Bowden really blew it by not moving Soriano before the deadline, but maybe he didn't. If he leaves at the end of the season ,the Nationals get two first round picks. Is that better than what was being offered? I'm not sure. What did Nationals fans think? Did the time spent on Soriano negotiations negatively affect potential trades involving Livan or Armas...
