I wrote this piece in September, changed a few things, commented on others: As we look at the end of the Minnesota Twins' 2007 season, there are some bright spots that we hope will carry over. Some things are near locks such as Jason Kubel's strong finish has probably assured him the 2008

Sean Casey signs to Red Sox for some reason (via ArmchairGM)

Dirtlocker points for: Sean Casey, Mike Lowell

The Mayor signed a 1 year $700,000 contract with the Sox. Honestly I have no idea why, we have Youk and Ortiz, kept Mike Lowell at third only thing I can see is packaging him in a trade or is this a sign that things may not be good with the first baseman...but anyway Casey hit. 296 in 143 games

There are perks to being World Series MVP, as Mike Lowell happily recounted yesterday. "I got to shoot an ad today with Rene Russo," the Red Sox third baseman said before the Boston Baseball Writers dinner at the Westin Waterfront Hotel. "I don't think that if I went 1 for 17 in the Series I would have gotten the same chance." Besides posing with the actress at Fenway Park for several hours ...

When the Tigers made no moves by the trading deadline last year, I knew their sights were set on major acquisitions in 2008. The major holes in the lineup were an offensive third baseman, left fielder, and more dept in the bullpen. I figured they might make a run at A-Rod from the New York Yankees. I never realized the Tigers would make such a drastic change on their roster. The Ace pitcher...
