Woke up to the shocking news that Pascual Perez was murdered in the DR. He was 55.

Are you really shocked? I'm not. The dude had lots of "issues" off the field.

So do you, but I'd be shocked if it happened to you.

Was it he or his weirder brother Carlos who buggered that young girl?

Do you think this was about "issues" or do you think these were guys targetting a famous person for money? I wouldn't be sure quite yet. Not the first time a baseball player is in the line of fire just because he is famous and has (or people think he has) money.

Apparently he had recently received MLB pension money.

Yasmani Grandal C, Padres, suspended for PED use:

MLB suspended Yasmani Grandal for 50 games without pay for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
The suspension will take him out of commission for almost the entire first two months of the 2013 season. Grandal showed a lot of promise as a rookie this season, batting .297/.394/.469 with eight homers, 36 RBI and an .863 OPS over 226 plate appearances, so this is a very tough blow for the Padres' offense. Some have speculated that the Padres will shop Nick Hundley this offseason, but they may be more inclined to keep him around at this point.

Can Ryan Braun's legal team bail him out? :eek(16):

Holy Jays-Marlins trade.

It would help if you mentioned the players dealt. Just saying.

Melnick will put a positive spin on this trade for the Marlins. :laughing

Mathis also going to the Marlins. Some say Gose will go the Marlins as well.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Looks like the Jays are going for it next year. Yanks look old, Red Sox are rebuilding, I guess this is the time.

 

[hairnova]

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Sounds like it'll be..

To Blue Jays: Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, John Buck.
To Marlins: Yunel Escobar, Adeiny Hechavarria, Henderson Alvarez, Justin Nicolino, Jake Marisnick, Jeff Mathis, Anthony DeSclafani.

Is anyone surprised. I'm sure Skippy is preparing his "Jeffrey has lost $20M" speech as I write this.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I didn't see this this mentioned. Good choices.

Mike Trout won the AL Rookie of the Year unanimously and NL counterpart Bryce Harper prevailed in a much closer vote.
