The Marlins don't really have a CF.

In MLB 2K11, I traded Ankiel, Bernadina, and Laynce (sp?) Nix for Desmond Jennings

2 ridiculous things from MLBTR:

1) Marcum has shoulder tightness. Gee, that Grienke is a real braintrust.

2) The A's and Rays really could be contracted. They should have just given us the Rays

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #306 on:** March 18, 2011, 11:11:06 am »

The MLBPA will never let contraction happen.

Their union is way too strong to absorb the loss of 50 jobs, not to mention the countless minor leaguers that would be without a job.

They'll just up the number of players on the active roster, probably the same in the minors, but the MLBPA doesn't represent the minor leaguers.

Castillo canned - good thing Danny is fine or he'd be our Opening Day 2B

If it served their purposes, I'm sure they'd suddenly find a place for benevolence.

You'd be replacing highly paid starting jobs with extra bench spots- no way the mlbpa goes for it

You don't think the Yankees would go for 6 highly paid pitchers and an extra DH?

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #312 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:24:11 pm »

Not unless you're allowed an extra hitter in the line up

Mets release Castillo

what was the deal with Castillo this year, the Mets seemed determined to ride him out of town.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #315 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:37:09 pm »

Thank goodness Danny isn't hurt bad.

I would not have been shocked to see the Nats take a chance on him if they had an open spot.

I think that Mike Aviles is a good sleeper pick for the AL batting title.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #319 on:** March 19, 2011, 04:49:49 am »

He certainly does make solid contact, and hits a ton of line drives... something a hitter needs if they want to have a shot at the batting crown.

i hope you are right, i have him on my WNFF fantasy team (late pick too). Hopefully he's this year's Prado.

Doesn't walk. Never hurt Ichiro, but if you walk a lot, you end up qualifying for the batting title with fewer ABs (the batting title is based on a minimum PAs). Guys who walk a high percentage of the time have freaky batting averages that can go way up or way down. Way up, and you get the batting title.

If any of you are familiar with Ryan Westmoreland's case, you may love this article. Ignore that it is by Dan Shaughnessy.
http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2011/03/11/homer_of_the_brave/

Westmoreland was a 19 or 20 year old, top prospect in the Red Sox organization, who had a bleeding mass of veins removed from brain last spring. Almost lost his life, almost lost his vision. He's back taking batting practice, but still needs two minutes to tie his shoes, and has noticeable weakness in his left side.

A longish feature on Westmoreland, his diagnosis, surgery, and rehab.

Brandon Wood is a worse hitter than Wil Nieves

Phillies sign Luis Castillo, they will pay him $414k, the Mets owe him the balance of his $6 million salary.
