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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

That's Tony Armas on the cover. No, his father. If you look closely at Tony's legs you'll see an autograph. We were walking underneath the stands, and my dad...

So when is it no longer too early to worry about someone, earlier this week Duaner Sanchez was let go for his ineffectiveness.

According to Vargas agent, Bean Stringfellow, there were four teams showing interest in him and that the Mets are the favorite. I'm not sure how believable that...
