Wright is exactly the kind of pitcher the Rockies should be trying to land.

Shelley will fight for his teammates too for what it’s worth. A good clubhouse guy to have.

Hey, I hear there’s a 42-year-old Dominican plumber the Rays could possibly trade for.

Granted, it would take a lot of prospects to land Pujols, but worth considering.

Between “Fausto Carmona” and “Leo Nunez,” the Rays must have decided that players with fake IDs are the new market inefficiency.

I should clarify: until he pulls off his Juan Carlos Oviedo mask and it’s actually been Heath Bell this whole time.

Duncan is a nice minor league signing. Was better than Delmon Young this year (higher OPS+, better HR/AB rate, etc). Had a down 2012 but solid bench bat in 2010 and 2011.

Jamey Wright?

Jesus, no one I actually had baseball cards of should still be playing.

And am I the only one who always thought Jamey and Jaret were brothers? I know Wright is a common last name, but the totalitarianism of their names isn’t.

Craig’s daughter is of course thrilled for Shelley.

Good deal on Oviedo. I still think he could be a very good late inning guy.
