Red Sox claim RP Manuel from Mariners

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:21:29 +0000

26-year old Robert Manuel was claimed by Boston off waivers today. Manuel tossed 65.2 innings for Seattle’s Triple-A club this past season, amassing a 2.88 ERA with a 49/16 K/BB ratio. He doesn’t possess lights-out stuff, but is good depth for Triple-A, who has to restock the farm ...

On Rich Harden

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:05:37 +0000

The Seattle Mariners have more than enough starting pitchers to fill their rotation in 2010, but not necessarily the right kind. Felix Hernandez slots in as the staff ace, but after that Seattle is looking at a lot of question marks. Ian Snell and Brandon Morrow both have great stuff and one ...

Jakubauskas and Manuel Claimed

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:12:57 +0000

Chris Jakubauksas was claimed by the Pirates today, and Robert Manuel (whom we acquired from the Reds in the Balentien trade) was claimed by the Red Sox. Neither of them are a huge loss or going to be horribly missed, but it is a little surprising. Manuel had a shot at becoming a serviceable 7th ...

Perkins: Homeless Gillick could settle in nicely with Blue Jays

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:01:49 +0000

at Gillick sold his house in Toronto a couple of years ago, so by Gillick's brand of logic, it makes perfect sense for him to rejoin the Blue Jays as a wise old head. The word is out that Gillick might well latch on to a senior consulting role in Toronto similar to the one he took when he ...

Jays to Give Halladay Suitors a Negotiation Window?

Word has come down from Rotoworld and MLB.com that the Blue Jays are willing to give a team to which they trade Roy Halladay an exclusive negotiation window to hammer out a contract extension. Apparently, J.P. Ricciardi was unwilling to offer such a deal, which doesn't really make sense to me, ...
