Right-Handed Reliever Luis Ayala, Marlins Agree to Terms
The Marlins have agreed to terms with veteran right-handed reliever Luis Ayala, who cleared waivers on Thursday after being designated for assignment last week by the Minnesota Twins. Ayala's agent, Joe Longo, said the pitcher would report to New Orleans and join the Triple A club in Omaha.
"He hasn't pitched in over two weeks, so... [Read More]

With only 38 players on the 40-man roster, and Bonser able to be transfered to the 60-day DL, the Twins have some roster flexibility. Who will be added to fill the roster? Delaney and Slama make sense, as neither is currently on the roster and both would make sense in September.
Here is the Twins roster: 40-Man Roster | twinsbaseball.com: Team

Rays acquired RHP John Meloan from the Indians for RHP Winston Abreu.
Meloan is a former top relief prospect who the Indians acquired from the Dodgers last July in a trade for Casey Blake. The Dodgers tried starting Meloan last year and he went 5-10 with a 4.97 ERA and 99/60 K/BB in 105 IP for Triple-A Las Vegas. Meloan finished the year with a 4.89 ERA and was sporting a 5.52 ERA in 44 innings this year for Triple-A Columbus prior to Thursday's trade. Meloan, who will turn 25 on... [Read More]

Let’s face it, if America was a party, it would suck at this moment. Money is tight so the grub would likely be generic brand and a few days past expiration and the keg would be missing so you would likely have to hit the water tap instead. Your party hosts are not optimists but realists and would set an appropriate somber tone with the music to be played, all public domain songs of course. If this wasn’t bad enough, the one game that has been counted on to get America through tough times, be it war or the struggle for equality, has once highly held baseball heroes plummeting to Earth. We don’t care why a player like ARod juiced just like we don’t care why the party sucks, we’re just ticked off about the end result.
The price of tickets aren’t getting any cheaper, most clubs were handicapped financially this offseason, Rodriguez juiced his way to becoming the best paid player in the game and the US Government is spending money like it’s going out of style. I don’t... [Read More]

Economic Downturn Affecting Free Agency?
It is quite obvious that over the last few years, the nation's economy has experienced what many are calling a recession. The value of the dollar has gone down, and the price of necessities such as gas have increased. While both are rebounding at the moment, the economy is still in relatively poor shape, and many have began to wonder how this economic situation will effect Major League Baseball. Most notable are the effects on Free Agency, as this has been an unsettlingly slow offseason.
Bud Selig has been asked repeatedly about how the economy will affect the league. He remains unsure on what impact the economy will have. Both acknowledge that the nation has not seen a situation like this since the Great Depression, and as such we cannot know how the sport will be changed. However, both remain hopeful that the sport will remain relatively unchanged.

There may not be an eloquent way of describing it. It might not prove to be anything more than what it currently is. They frequently portray human greatness in movies as a supernatural quality that only existed before our times. Robert Redford was the “Natural” and Willie Mays was natural. You know that one is fiction and that one is a historic monumental figure only told through classic footage and interviews. Only Hollywood blurs the boundaries and makes us believe it’s real to this day. It is real. It is not fiction told to us by a well-paid actor or Kevin Costner. But to be a natural? Statistics and brandished 5 tools, that’s what defines a player greater than everyone around. But what about an aura of invincibility that even simply watching on the TV, you could feel the natural ascension to a place none of us can dream of reaching and subsequently making those around him better. Certainly this doesn’t describe our current or future president but just one nine starting... [Read More]
