The Twins picked up Michael Cuddyer's $10.5M option for 2011.

As long as they don't use any money to pick up some AGING free agents!!!

I hear Mickey Lolich is looking to make a comeback.

(Boy does that give away my age that I remember that ridiculous signing by the Mets)

If not Lolich, I hear "say hey" is interested in a pinch hitter role.

Shhhhhh...Minaya , might hear you. While we're at it, why not give Manuel a 5 year extension (since he's done a bang up job...NOT).

Nick Green might save the day again!!

The Poet · 11-10-2009, 04:03 PM

Well, since nobody else seems to want to report it, guess I shall - Derek Jeter and Mark Teixiera win 2009 Gold Gloves.

Oh, and 6 or 7 other AL guys win one too.

11-10-2009, 04:09 PM

Mark Buehrle wins a gold glove as well

MedicCook · 11-10-2009, 05:20 PM

I got all worked up over nothing.
I thought they said EVA Longoria.

Nice group right there!!

Congrats to all..even those two damn Yankees!!

MedicCook · 11-11-2009, 10:46 AM

Ken Griffey, Jr. signed a 1 year deal with the Mariners for $2M with the possibility of it going to $3.15M with incentives.

The Poet · 11-11-2009, 04:19 PM

OK, explain this one to me: Jerry Hairston Jr. declared his free-agency yesterday. He spent most of this last season languishing on the Reds bench, gets picked up by the Yankees as a utility player, gets a few key hits here and there, and ends up with a WS ring plus the bonus money. Now he exercises an option which is unlikely to be picked up by the champs. WTF is he thinking?

Awesome! We get to give him an official send-off this year. At least he said earlier that if he plays in '10, it will be his final year. An awesome player in his prime!

He was on national television during the WS and thinks that someone is gonna look at that and pick him up for more money.

Ain't gonna happen! Wait...my Mets might try to grab him.

What option did he use? As far as I could tell he was a free agent at the end of the season. I did not see anything about him having a player or team options for 2010. All he did was file for free agency like every other free agent does.

MedicCook · 11-11-2009, 08:37 PM

As expected the Red Sox Jason Varitek excersized his option for 2010 for $3M and will return as the back-up catcher for the Red Sox. My prediction is that the Red Sox will release him by the end of Spring Training.

I freakin hope so, he has been dead weight and an automatic out for the last five years.
I guess you keep hanging around as long as people want to give away millions of dollars?

He's been kept around because he calls a great game. He called Bucholz and Lester's no-hitters. He is slow throwing to catch runners, which is one reason why everyone was stealing on them this year. His bat was carried on the basis of his game, IMO.

Where are the Cy Young results?

MedicCook · 11-12-2009, 10:14 PM

Monday, Nov. 16 AL & NL Rookie of the Year Award
Tuesday, Nov. 17 AL Cy Young Award
Wednesday, Nov. 18 AL & NL Manager of the Year Award
Thursday, Nov. 19 NL Cy Young Award
Tuesday, Nov. 24 NL MVP Award

I don't know why they don't have the AL MVP Award listed though.
