2012 MLB Season

At the July trade deadline the two 2nd baseman that were most rumored to becoming to Detroit were Omar Infante and Marco Scutaro.  I had no interest in Scutaro so I was quite happy when we got Infante; although not thrilled to give up our number 1 pitching prospect in the process.  Infante played decent, but it looks like we got the wrong guy, and how ironic that he gets the game-winning RBI to clinch the series.

Sorry about your Tigers Scott.

And so ends a pretty exciting, tense, and wild season. Even if the scheduling in the post season was a little whacky.

While that used to be a sad joke...it seems perfectly reasonbale now, at least on paper.

Swisher is a solid player, and he has a good eye and can be very stubborn at the plate. I really would miss him, but he's just a total playoff bust. Not a great player but could be a decent pick up. Just dont spend much   If I was a team in desperate need, clearly the Tigers are not one, I'd sign him.

Soriano doesn't have much of a resume, and I'd find it ironic if someone gave him big bucks and he flops...but if he keeps up that play, it'll hurt to see him go. Still I think the pen/Robertson can cover.

I really hope they keep Ichiro.

Granderson has taken a lot of flak after the WS, with many read to send him packing. Even I am shocked at this level of fickleness! Give the guy at least another year. I like him.

And A Bomb....you miserable wretch what the hell is gunna happen with you? Talk about lose lose. Either he goes back to his spot and plays like he's been playing, or they keep screwing around and make another circus. I'll hold naive faith that this will all inspire him to not suck but I know better
Huzzah! With power back I can unleash all my pent up sports rage!

Wow!! I did not see this one coming: http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=409433

Reyes brings that shadow of doubt...both about how he will hold up physically and how much of his will is being brought....but when he's on he's a very good, I'd even say great, player.
The east is either gunna be a helluva conference, oooooor the Sahx keep sucking and the Yanks finally slide. Thus bringing the day everyone has hoped for: An AL East led by the Os and Blue Jays and Marlins while the Yanks and Sahx fight for last.


....Then the MLB leaders commit suicide

Reyes is a cancer to a club,the Jays are better off without him.

The Jays have apparently signed Melky Cabrera to a 2 year deal.  Sounds like they are serious about trying to compete in the AL East next year.
