Laird traded to Tigers; what's this mean for the Sox?
According to multiple sources (but I'll link to Kenny Rosenthal just to make it simple), the Rangers traded Gerald Laird to the Tigers tonight: The Detroit Tigers have filled one of their prime offseason needs, acquiring catcher Gerald Laird from the Rangers for Double-A right-hander Guillermo...
Q&A with the Globe's Tony Massarotti
The Boston Globe's Tony Massarotti was kind enough to answer some questions from us at Over The Monster regarding everything and anything Red Sox. Massarotti has been covering the Red Sox since 1994 when he was with the Boston Herald. In September, Massarotti made a move to the Globe where he has...
Sunday morning stuff
Ken Davidoff says the Mets asked about Gerald Laird earlier this offseason, although that is on the back burner while they attempt to deal with some pitching issues. Mike Hindman runs down the top 5 Rangers outfield prospects. And that's it this morning, it appears.
Saturday morning stuff
Mike Maddux arrived yesterday, and there is some buzz this morning about what he means for the Rangers... Evan Grant says Maddux's approach is less about the mechanics and more about the mental side of pitching, with Jon Daniels says that Maddux is more "tactician than technician." This is,...
Saturday a.m. stuff
As noted last night, Hank Blalock's option has been picked up, and Jon Daniels says he'll mostly play DH or 1B. The DH part of it suggests the team isn't optimistic about Milton Bradley coming back. Still, I wouldn't be shocked if Bradley ended up accepting arbitration, because there aren't just...
Thursday a.m. things
Well, Michael Young has supposedly won the gold glove in the American League at shortstop. I talked about this last night, so I won't belabor it again this morning, other than to note that, for what it is worth, Young wasn't as bad this season as he has been in the past. He still wasn't good --...
Sunday a.m. things
Well, so much for that BoSox/Cubs World Series. Ken Davidoff says that Ron Washington is on the hot seat, because Nolan Ryan isn't going to tolerate much more mediocrity. The Detroit Free Press says that the Tigers will talk to the Rangers about acquiring a shortstop and a catcher. The F-P says...
Wednesday morning stuff
Real solid outing from Brandon McCarthy last night...I missed the first few innings, but from what I saw, he looked like the guy the Rangers thought they were getting when they made that Christmas Eve, 2006, trade. He had three solid pitches he was commanding, and he was throwing strikes. If he...
Sunday morning things
Evan Grant's game story talks about the frustrations of the month of August and how they've taken a toll on this team. In particular, he takes Gerald Laird and Ron Washington to task for arguing with Dale Scott on the blown call at home plate, and ignoring Mike Napoli, which allowed Napoli to...
Monday a.m. stuff
A day of redemption for AJM. Gerald Laird hits 2 home runs, and Luis Mendoza bounces back from a rough 1st innings (albeit one where he wasn't hit real hard) to go 7 strong innings. Both of Laird's homers went to right field, and Laird and Ron Washington both say that's something Rudy Jaramillo...
