 $10 for a Wily Mo Pena autographed game ball? $15 for Anderson Hernandez? $5 for Jason Simontacchi?
 
 
 It's highway robbery in NatsTown!

Cintron will join Triple-A Tacoma. Cintron, played in 21 games before getting designated for assignment. He mainly plays second base, shortstop, and third base. He should serve as a utility man if he gets called up to the big leagues. He only hit .077 as a member of the Washington Nationals. This should mean 2B/SS Josh Wilson will be leavi...

Washington also acquired OF Josh Willingham and LHP Scott Olsen in a trade with the Marlins and signed free agents Daniel Cabrera, Alex Cintron and Javier Valentin. In the deal to land Willingham and Olsen, the Nationals agreed to send 2B Emilio Bonifaci, INF Jake Smolinski and RHP P.J. Dean to Florida. Top Prospect: Jordan Zimme...

When Andy MacPhail traded Miguel Tejada last off-season for five players from the ...

I only have one thing to say about that situation, if you're going to bring that type of heat on yourself and team, then you better be able to shut them up. Otherwise, tone it down and not because anyone tells you too but for your own good..... This is a post about the make-up of the bench, I believe it has been mis-constructed ...

Giles was recently released by the Colorado Rockies after refusing a minor league assignment. The Dodgers, who almost traded for him agreed to a minor league deal with the third baseman earlier today. The plan was for Giles to spend 10 days at AAA-Las Vegas to reacquaint himself with third base and get some more at-bats, then come up to the majors and split time with Rookie Blake DeWitt...

First, Ronny Cedeno beat out Alex Cintron for the back-up shortstop job. Second, Mike Fontenot beat out Matt Murton for the final outfield spot. Murton is a surprise to myself as he was in constant trade talk with the Texas Rangers and was just an all out solid player for last years NL Central division winners. Lets look at both of these spring battles and why each made the team.

The Sox with RISP the final three games of series were 13-31 with 28 rbi's, that's getting the job done.
