Yankees, Twins talking about Santana trade

Interesting

4:49 p.m., from Jayson Stark
• The Twins and Angels continue to talk about a Johan Santana trade. Many of the same players mentioned in the Miguel Cabrera sweepstakes -- Howie Kendrick, Brandan Wood, Nick Adenhart, and possibly Jeff Mathis or Reggie Willits -- would be included in a package for Santana.

• It is believed that the Angels haven't talked with the Marlins since last night, and Miguel Cabrera is off their radar screen -- at least for now.

NO one owns the Angels do they from the Yankees-Red Sox-Pioneer League Twins to be ?

Interesting

6:20 p.m., from Peter Gammons
• The Tigers have won the Miguel Cabrera sweepstakes. Detroit will get Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis from Florida for six players -- Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller, catcher Mike Rabelo and three minor league pitching prospects. The deal is expected to be announced later tonight when the physicals and paperwork are completed.

Well the Tigers rocket up right next to Cleveland.

That could be a real mean starting rotation: Bonderman, Verlander, Willis. And if Cabrera can control his weight and play like 2 years ago, they'll score some runs.

Hopefully Willis does better than he did last year though.

He's played exactly the same for 3 straight years, so I'm not sure what you mean by "play like 2 years ago." The only difference between him 2 years ago and him now is that he walks a little more. Look at his lines from the past three years:

.323/.385/.561
.339/.430/.568
.320/.401/.565

That is remarkable consistency at a phenomenal level. Moving him out of a pitcher's park should even improve his numbers.

Yeah his hitting number haven't changed but I believe that added weight last year hurt his range at 3rd and it definitely slowed him on the base paths.

I don't think it's enough to really cost his team any runs. Really slow or just plain slow, Cabrera improves the Tigers run-scoring immensely (as if they needed it, being 3rd in the majors and all in 2007)

He sure does

This just in. The Boston Red Sox announce plans to move across the river to Cambridge, and change their logo from a pair of red socks, to a single red star.

Nope, the plans involve seven hammer and sicle logos to comemorate the heroic workers victories over their capitalist tormentors.

Are you saying the Red Sox are so good that only direct military intervention can stop them ? I guess so.
