we get it. your 3rd best hitter is a 33 year old dh that just missed a season with a serious injury but he's coming back this year and he's gonna be awesome again. sounds like a plan, man
last time he was healthy he only 8 HR's or something the whole season anyway. That kind of power is hard to replace! I'm sure a reconstructed knee will help make him a BEAST this year!

Hitting home runs was not VMart's job and you know that. They definitely missed him last year.
Sanchez resigns with the Trigers for 5 years! \:D/

Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey has reached an agreement with the Toronto Blue Jays on a two-year, $25 million extension, pending a physical, that will allow Toronto and the New York Mets to complete their trade, sources tell ESPN's Buster Olney.
Dickey will be getting the dollar value that he had requested in failed extension talks with the Mets. Some of the money will be paid out immediately this year, along with his $5 million salary, in the form of a signing bonus to offset the difference in taxes between the United States and Canada. The sides are still haggling over how much money will be front-loaded, sources said.
News of an agreement was reported earlier by the Toronto Sun and FoxSports.com.
ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin reported earlier Monday that the Mets will receive highly regarded catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud and Class A right-hander Noah Syndergaard from Toronto. The teams also will exchange catchers, with Josh Thole headed to Toronto and John Buck to the Mets.
The Blue Jays will include cash to lessen the Mets' responsibility for Buck's $6 million salary. Other prospects also will be included in the trade, a league source said.
I think they will be a very interesting team to watch. Josh Johnson is a hell of a pitcher. Dickey's not going to have another year like this one though.
Free-agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski has agreed to terms with the Texas Rangers on a one-year deal, pending a physical, sources confirmed. The physical is expected to occur on Friday.
Pierzynski, who turns 36 on Dec. 30, batted .278 with 27 homers (a career high) and 77 RBIs (tied a career-high in 2004) this past season for the Chicago White Sox. He played in 135 games, starting 121 at catcher.
The Red Sox and Pirates have agreed to a deal that will send Joel Hanrahan to Boston, Jerry Sands and Stolmy Pimentel will go to Pittsburgh in the swap and there will be more players involved in the deal. There will be two more players headed to the Bucs in the deal.
