There's been a lot of movement going on in baseball. Big names being tossed around. Trades being negotiated. It's what the sport does when everyone's bored and cold. The AL Cy Young came out earlier this week. Can't say I was surprised-Cliff Lee-22-5 with an ERA around 2.50ish...totally deserves it. On the other hand, woulda been nice to see Doc Halladay net another one.
Jake Peavy, AJ Burnett, and CC Sabathia are all on the Yankees' radar. It could be a scary division if New York and Boston both flex their money muscles. The Jays, of course, would like to have AJ back, but I just don't see it working out. And I highly doubt we'll be able to persuade Manny Ramirez to come here...besides, the guy's a tool.
Trevor Hoffman won the Roberto Clemente award. Congrats.
They're working hard on getting baseball back in the Olympics. A US delegation made the pitch to 20 IOC members earlier this week. These are all efforts for 2016-an Olympics I hope will take place in Chicago. MLB said they might be willing to let the best pro players participate if baseball is reassured a spot on the Olympic programme. The final decision will be made next October in Denmark. Can't wait.
