NotJon :

I think the A's will be successful.

The Rangers aren't a factor right now. They need a Swisher or a Bourn for me to take them seriously. The Angels rotation looks very beatable and the lineup, while improved, doesn't look that scary. Trumbo and Trout are due for regression, and Pujols is aging. The Hamilton signing felt like sustaining rather than improving.

And the Astros and Mariners aren't going anywhere.

Its the A's time.

-----

Red Sox signed Stephen Drew great.

We don't need more injury prone players with declining defense. Just play Iglesias and spend the money on more pitching. This upsets me. It tells me we don't care about run prevention and that we'll just win by scoring boatloads of runs. We tried that last year and look what happened. Stupid signing. Everything to this point was sensible. But 9.5 million for f***ing Drew? Stupidity.

legacyme3 : Trout's such an enigma that it's so hard to say where he'll go from last year. He does everything very well so it wouldn't surprise me if he remains amongst the game's elite players. 

Pujols is older but he's still great and even if he's declining, it's been pretty graceful. Angels had arguably the best offense last year or second best. Their defense is up there too. They run as well. They have one of the few legitimate aces in their rotation still and even if it's not sexy, their rotation is solid. I think they're a well-balanced team.

NotJon : They are a good team, and it should be a pretty good race between them and the A's, who I think will come out on top.

And the Pirates signed Francisco Liriano to a two year, $14 million deal. Sounds like a lot, but I haven't seen him pitch, so I don't know if he's any good. The deal hasn't been finalized, because  of a pending physical that will most likely be taken after Christmas.

patar4097 : Liriano can be ace-like when all is right. Unfortunately, he's often injured or wild or ineffective so it's hard to say what to expect from him any given season, or start even. I like that Pittsburgh took the chance on him though. Shrewd move.

Well the Red Sox just got Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt from the Pirates. The Pirates get Mark Melancon, Stolmy Pimentel, Ivan De Jesus, and Jerry Sands.

I believe Hanrahan has only 1 year left on his original deal. Wonder if they will extend him?

I'd rather wait to see if he can pitch in a toughest division.

For me Brock Holt is the best piece of this deal.

The Indians signed Nick Swisher to a four year contract. The outfielder will be paid $56 million guaranteed over the four seasons, with some other option for another year, but I don't know how that works.

patar4097 : Somehow I like that signing. Money is a little high I will say that. Can't believe the Yankee's didn't sign him, he was one of the "young" members of the club.

It's official. A.J. Pirzynski, the former White Sox catcher, is now a Texas Ranger. He's signed for a one year, $7.5 million contract, and will be the starting catcher, with Geovany Soto backing him up.

The Tampa Bay Rays just avoided arbitration, by signing David Price to a one year extension or something. He will be $10.1125 million. I don't understand the deal, but he will be a free agent after 2015. If somebody wants to clear this up, go ahead, because I don't get it.

Oldschool41 :

Yeah, but sucks for LaRoche. He wanted three years. Could have got it from the Red Sox I think with this whole Napoli crap not finalized.

This means Michael Morse is a trade candidate.

Bad news for the Yankees I guess.

The Nationals and RHP Rafael Soriano agreed to a 2 year 28 million dollar deal. Deal also has a third year vesting option for 14 million.

Seems like a solid pickup by the Nationals

Oldschool41 :

On the contrary.

This is fantadtic news for the Yankees.

There was little interest in Soriano, despite his ability, because he was tied to draft pick compensation.

The Yankees get a draft pick for a guy they had no room for.

Great move by the Nats too.

Oldschool41 :

Meh, we "signed" him two months ago basically. It was just heavily reworked.

I like it. Gived us a ton of flexibility down the line, allowing for a trade acquiring at the deadline.

It also is incentives laden, meaning he could earn 13 million if he stays healthy.

I really like how we didnt overpay for Michael Morse like the Mariners did.

Three minor leaguers including AJ Cole to the Nats, John Jaso to the A's and Michael Morse to the Mariners.

well justin upton is a brave now, after blocking a trade to the mariners (was a bad trade for mariners anyways).

braves gave up martin prado, but apparently the braves were expected to give up much more that what they ended up trading.

I think this is a side trade right now for both teams, and the next 3 years will determine if the diamondbacks got players who will benefit them long term. I think upton and prado could put up very similar numbers, so the other players in the trade will define who won.

yes, justin upton is the best player in the deal, but there is no guarantee he will improve. I think there a very real possibility of him remaining a .280 average hitter with 25-35 home runs throughout his career.

The Tigers are looking better by the day themselves, with them acquiring Torii Hunter plus we still have Verlander and the triple crown winner himself Miguel Cabrera.  Then of course King Felix is in contract talks with the Mariners looking for a 7 year 175 million dollar contract.  Some big acquisitions this off season.
