Wednesday Whispers

He should look a little thinner next season.


Sorry that I've been AWOL for a few days. I was sick this past weekend, and I had to go to class and drive back to Louisville for the holidays. Anyway, there should be a couple things up today, but I don't know about tomorrow. Friday and Saturday should have a few things up as well.

- Robinson Cano is looking good this off-season. The question is can he continue to be as disciplined when he goes back to the city that never sleeps.

- It seems that Junichi Tazawa will be a Red Sox. Because the Red Sox have to have everything go right for them.

- Rocco Baldelli won the Conigliari Award for his determination and spirit. That might have been the easiest award selection of the year.

- Peter Schmuck says the Orioles will have to change their organizational philosophy to sign AJ Burnett. Considering their philosophy seems to be to lose, changing it might not be a bad idea.

- The Canadian economy is leaving Ricciardi in a state of uncertainty. So is his starting rotation.

- The Royals' top 10 prospects are filled with the guys from the last draft. I agree with the author -- that either means they have nothing on the way or their draft was that good.

- The Tigers will pass on Tazawa because of the gentleman's agreement. If they really cared about the agreement, wouldn't they have not gone over and scouted him?

- Furcal visited Oakland yesterday, but it doesn't sound like anything's imminent.

- The Angels are switching their attention to CC. Told you they don't need Tex.

- The Braves are switching their focus to AJ Burnett. Post idea!

- The Marlins' new stadium will open in 2012, just in time to save Maybin from being shipped off but too late for Andrew Miller, Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu, Matt Lindstrom, Ricky Nolasco, Josh Johnson, Anibal Sanchez, and the Manatees.

- The Pirates signed the two Indian pitchers. Good, now the Pirates have more pitchers who won't make it to the majors.

- Would you rather have 50 fields or CC?
