This seems like a pretty big deal, but nobody has mentioned it. (Maybe the thread has run its course. :( )

The Angels signed Tori Hunter for 5 years and $90 million. Hunter's been terrific in Minnesota, and for whatever reason, I just like him. I hope he does well out there. Angels also traded away a guy that Sox fans love: Orlando Cabrera. They sent him to the White Sox for John Garland.

Whoa, Mick......

Miguel Cabrera <b>and</b> Dontrelle Willis?

Say it ain't so.......

Looking good for the Tigers.

Could be huge. Willis has been less than his spectacular self over the last couple of seasons, but if he returns to form, he could be a major force in the Central. Cabrera's weight has been an issue during his major league career. (He's gained 50 pounds since being called up full-time.) If Leyland and company can get him to take some of it off and keep him conditioned, he WILL be a major force. He probably will be, anyway, from the way people have been talking about him today. But you know what I mean.

It's nice that they're not in the East.

...Just dumping North Carolina players. :)

Willis is a relative baby; he's only 25, I think. Cabrera is fairly young too and he's supposedly finally getting serious about conditioning, etc. Just a heckuva deal for Dee-troit imo.

I'd have traded our 3rd. baseman for those two.

You're right. Let 'em fight it out in the Central.

Since this is the last known location of an actual Chuck Elias sighting (even rarer than stumbling upon Sasquash playing tennis with the Loch Ness Monster in an undisclosed area 51 location) I'll place this here to see if I can get the little bugger to come out of hiding and make a brief appearance. Enjoy....but be quiet or you'll scare him away...

What not a single post in this thread about the release of the Mitchell report! :eek:

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

For entertainment, see the Baseball forum's thread.

Just a question. . . Where are all the people who have been alleging that the Patriots' Superbowl wins may have been tainted? Now we know that the Yankees' last 2 World Series wins were tainted.
I haven't heard much in the national media about that. Lots about Clemens personally; but almost nothing about an asterisk for the Yankees' 1999 and 2000 wins.

Former Sox GM Dan Duquette, however, was recently seen in his custom made "I TOLD YOU SO!!" t-shirt.

You don't have to carry that burden, Chuck.
No one really cares. :cool:

Well...lessee...Clemens is this close to suing everyone over the report (and I bet you're pissed off anyways that whatever he did take didn't lead to a red sox WS win). Pettite admits he took HGH for 2 days to help with an injury but stopped the treatment (HGH was not a controlled or banned substance then btw). Who else...oh yeah, Chuck Knoblauch. His post season BA of .258 made a huge difference in the final outcomes :rolleyes:

Anyway...why are the Pats wins tainted?

Clemens speaks out: "I want to state clearly and without qualification: I did not take steroids, human growth hormone or any other banned substances at any time in my baseball career or, in fact, my entire life."

I wonder if he was pointing his finger at a Congressman when he issued this statement. . .
