Fresh Meat / Deat Meat: Part Deux

Wow-wee wow-wee wow-wow!  A couple weeks ago I blogged that if Prince Fielder were to somehow see his way clear to sign with an American League team (and let's face it, he's got the body of a DH already), then my mind would "boggle" at the possibilities.  Well, consider me boggled.

As a Miguel Cabrera owner, the move has a couple of implications right off the not-so-proverbial bat.  They're already talking about moving Miggy to 3B; this is a much tougher position to fill fantasy-wise, so that's a plus.  And they're thinking about hitting Miggy in the 3 hole, with Fielder behind him cleaning up; this can only mean he's going to see more good pitches.

Can Prince hit 51 homers for the Tigers like his dad Cecil did in 1990? 

Fresh Meat/Dead Meat: Part the Seconde

FRESH MEAT:

SP Yu Darvish (Japan --> TEX)  Is he Dice-K or Nomo or Kuroda or something else entirely?  

SP Hiroki Kuroda  (LAD-NYY) With Pineda, I kinda like the Yankees starting pitching. Weird, right?

RP Francisco Cordero (CIN --> TOR) But apparently not to close. Don't buy it. 

1B  Carlos Pena (CHC --> TAM)  What's Theo got against this guy? Cut him in Boston after a cup of coffee, the let him go in Chicago.  He's yet another intriguing option at the CI slot after all the elite 1B go at auction. 

OF  Cody Ross (SF --> BOS)  Ross + Sweeney > JD Drew + Reddick?  Hmmm.... Doubt it.  But look for Kalish to take over RF after the All-Star break. 

DEAD MEAT:

C  Jorge Posada (NYY --> Retirement)  Bye-bye Tiny Head.  Bye-bye Big Bat.  They won't be jamming you inside anymore.  Hip-hip-Jorge!

OF Juan Pierre  (CHI --> PHI)   Good riddance. He was a thorn in my side all year.

OF Carlos Quentin (CHI --> SD)  Banished to where home runs and home run hitters go to die.  

SP  Jeff Francis (KC --> CIN)

SP  AJ Burnett (NYY --> PIT)  As a Sox fan, I'll miss him.

SP  Mark Guthrie (BAL --> COL)  The worst #1 starter in the AL is gone.     

SS Marco Scutaro (BOS --> COL)  Salary dump of a $6-mil starting SS? Still don't get this one, but look for Jose "Iggy" Iglesias to take over SS after the all-star break.
