good thing the AL has a DH. That should help. Plus maybe they can shift him to 1B at the end of Tex deal. One question, how many years away is Sanchez. I would think this kind of hinders his chances of making an imoact, no?33 is old for a catcher who hasn't caught 135 games in 3 years.when have the yankees had a good 1st rd pick.

The first round pick the Yanks gave up to sign Soriano would have been Mike Trout.when have the yankees had a good 1st rd pick. Theres a ton of good free agents that will cost a 1st rd pickAnd 33 isnt old.

Peralta to the Cards for four years and something more than 13mm a year seems to be imminent.
Not bad for the NL:
Carpenter - 3B
Peralta - SS
Holliday - LF
Adams - 1B
Craig - RF
Molina - C
Wong - 2B
Bourjos - CF (Jay against some righties)
Miller - P

I think you can also put Taveras in RF against tough lefties (shift Craig to 1B) and when Craig needs a break.

Based on the yanka recent draft track record, they probably woulda passed on trout to take someone they thought was more "toolsy"

This is the guy LaRussa decided to keep on the final spring training roster instead of Albert Pujols. It was only when Hutchinson blew out his elbow that Pujols was called up.

I read the other day they had him at 2 WAR this season for pitch framing. Maybe I misread that but seems to be what I recall.Found it:
Marveling at his first season with the team, Bradley Woodrum published a study on DRaysBay speculating that Jose Molina was worth 2.5 wins above replacement simply by framing the strikezone, thanks to an estimated 24.4 runs prevented, and thereby a contender for Team MVP -- hence "Most Valuable Molina." Brad would receive harsh criticism in the comment section, and shortly after we found out he was incredibly wrong.
According to calculations by Max Marchi and further investigation by Ben Lindbergh, who dedicates much of his research to catcher framing, Jose Molina was able to prevent 50 runs from scoring over the course of the season, worthy of five wins above replacement -- double Woodrum's estimate, and again, using the strikezone alone.

The catcher framing stuff is fascinating. Here is a link to a study.

Haren to the Doyers for 10 mil for a year. Might be the best value of the off-season.

His peripherals were excellent.
SoCal teams had a big advantage here, makes sense given his hometown and he gets to play for a contender.

Really like this deal. Surprised he couldn't pull a better offer. Wonder if he simply really wanted to be with LA.

Jhonny Peralta's new $53MM deal with the Cardinals could lead to changes to MLB's Joint Drug Agreement, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal writes. Peralta already served a 50-game suspension for his role in the Biogenesis scandal, but he's now getting a large contract just months later, one that dwarfs other recent contracts for players like Marlon Byrd and Melky Cabrera who also received PED suspensions. "We thought 50 games would be a deterrent. Obviously its not. So we are working on it again," Diamondbacks player representative Brad Ziegler tweeted today. Rosenthal writes that players are likely to raise the topic of harsher PED penalties at a players union meeting in December. Any changes would then have to be negotiated with MLB's owners.

So the players' union is going to #### with a player's chances of getting a large contract after he's served his time? This oughta be interesting.

Considering the contracts being handed out right now, Peralta got a little bit above average deal, with maybe an extra year.

A's acquire lefty Fernando Abad from the Nats for non-prospect OF John Wooten.
Garrett Jones designated.
Yankees reportedly have a deadline on their Cano offer. Ball's in Jay-Z's court, I suppose.

There is a lot of FA money for teams to spend right now and they're spending it. And considering there were only 2 decent SS FAs, one of which received a qualifying offer, the Peralta signing seems like somewhat of a bargain.

I don't particularly like the Peralta contract, but I like it a hell of a lot better than most of the trades that were being thrown around. The Cards were NOT getting through this off-season with Pete Kozma as their starting SS, and everybody in MLB knew it. At this point, it looks like the cost of keeping Shelby Miller was a year and $15 million or so to Peralta. Feels like a bargain.

What the hell are the Dodgers gonna do with their ridiculously overpaid outfielders? Puig has gotta play every day, and Gonzalez is at 1st, so there is nowhere for anyone to go. Crawford (4 years, 83 million), Kemp (6 years, 128 million), Ethier (4 years, 69 million).
how much money would they have to eat to move any of those guys?

Flip him to another team or play him at 3B I guess. Not gonna happen, no idea why Cano is in Detroit except maybe as a favor to Boras to make the Yankees nervous.

Reds resign Manny Parra for 2/$5.5M. He was very effective against left handed batters but wasn't used as a LOOGY; right handed batters had more PAs against him in each of the past two years. Dusty haters could blame Baker for that but presumably Bryan Price had some say in how Parra was used.

Nolasco to the Twins. Not really fitting into their previous gameplan of having only starters with 1880's k rates.
