What would we have to give up to rescue Giancarlo Stanton from the Jeffrey Loria Everything Must Go Liquidation Spectacular?

Now THAT would be a worthwhile pursuit.

Either Torii Hunter is secretly a relief pitcher and never told the Twins and Angels about it, or he's going to combine his offense with Fielder and Cabrera to score so many runs even Valverde can pitch a couple complete innings.

I'm thinking Illich is going all in for World Series ring. Thinking they're going to spend like the Yankees this off season.

And, as usual, you were correct. I am not surprised as Price did earn it. Verlander had too many of those erratic first inning type games and the WS meltdown didn't help.

If this doesn't doom Cabrera's MVP chances, nothing will.
Nate Silver calls the AL MVP for Trout.

I think of all the possibilities out there Hunter was by far the best.
1. He hit well this year because he was in front of Puhols, so there is reasonable expectation he will hit well next year in front of Cabrera. Even if it's not 300, it's a big upgrade..
2.He can run. he's an upgrade on the bases and in the field over Boesch.
3. he will teach the young guys how to play the outfield.
4. he's great in the club house. Great. Way better than guys like Reyes. this is the biggest plus if you ask me.
yes he's old and at the end might be done, but for three years he should be ok.
He's proven he can hit in the American league too and is a weapon for sure. It's as big an addition as Martinez if you ask me.
Now sign Sanchez and get another BP arm.
that is all...

What a relief!
The way some of the talking-heads were spinning it on radio and TV this week, I thought Trout would win.
The writers got this one right!
But, I think future MVP candidates are going to be subject to a lot more of the "new wave" analysis from here on.

Probably. The combination of a triple crown winner and the "Sabr choice" being a rookie overwhelmed him. Crusty old men look for excuses to not give a rookie an award.
And frankly, I'm still bitter about 1987 and how that's keeping Trammell out of the HOF, so screw everyone else anyway.

Now the rumor mill is all over Stephen Drew to the Tigers, and Peralta on the trading block.
I was quite happy about the Hunter signing, except for the money. I'm on the opposite side here. No thank you to Mr. Drew, at any price. I'd rather have Peralta. Drew can't stay healthy, and his family is known for having more drama than Broadway.
