" You brought in our baseball our sports and Rosenthal shop I don't by the -- we were out Anaheim working media Angels Red Sox game on Saturday after an emotionally charged weekend that the -- on Sunday things took ruled different. Turned Josh Beckett Bobby Abreu pitcher I'd effort -- you'd call -- according to Beckett. I think -- on the future of each other on May twelfth. At."
" Possible in detention desperately want more but if cooler heads prevail and they should the will come down. And frankly Beckett wrong here and we ocean and about the whole situation and called for was absolutely right. He's in there he has every right to complete his windup and throws the ball otherwise he could risk injury but. Any time full blown your players' heads are asking for hostilities and he got."
" Right the Angels are in need of some pitching they've they've got buried injuries -- that is well John Lackey as the bar it and it's -- Wallis well. There's a -- Pedro Martinez is out there is there any champions company to."
" They know right now their position is that we're going through this internally and we'll see how that goes but. If Lackey and Santana and Escobar there injuries linger well that you're talking about something else. The problem with Pedro for the Angels lose 201. He's asking for five million dollars plus the Angels and every other team you don't want to -- The other problem is putting Pedro back in the American League. If he is going to come back he is much better off the National League the weaker offensively. And ultimately I think that is where that line where. Mets or Dodgers he's going to go back to the bat well they say no. And they too -- have pitching issues right the Dodgers have clear pitching issues there is a nice. -- to the story with him going back the team that traded him. That to -- it was obvious spot but they don't want to pay of five million they'd be much more culpable one million or two."
" Aren't other veterans out there Jim Edmonds out frank Thomas and -- know he's banged up right now but he could be ready toward the middle toward the end of the season. Anybody going to end up more interest in."
" Sheets well because it's will be the equivalent of a big deadline acquisition but Rudy comes back from the surgery -- For the position players like Tom Edmonds Frank Catalanotto we Gonzales. It's more problematic because along with -- go along their unemployed. Their skills could diminish so it'll be sharper they would otherwise and that's a problem for a lot of teams are right there all. Right up. A little bit and certainly there's a glut of outfielders which explains. I'll admit that talent out all left handed hitting outfielders. Right town the DH both teams are at it DH but in general this quality of player out there yet I am surprised."
" Manny Ramirez. Already started up early in week two. Of the regular he's told USA today you know what I would love to finish my career where it started back in Cleveland. Many first calls and Indians and -- about two months too late lead thanks where was that that out of Beckett and -- like the idea. Dodgers a look at this and it Manny being Manny or they are you can."
" It's Manny being Manny but you've got to be kidding me. And here the Dodgers it's their home opener on the day that these remarks were published and to this point it's been nothing but what's actually. Everyone loves each -- so happy to be in LA. Well these comments are hot. They're comical mostly because he built there's no way that the Indians can afford him. If you wanted to go play in Cleveland for 810 going instead of 25 million you're talking about something else. But I really doubt he's going to he would try to."
" And I think come for the Dodgers and they worried about bigger picture to know that -- at the -- K going to blow up. To -- that Manny is going to go through an entire season without causing any distraction at ridiculous. Yes I know he had two wonderful month in LA in a contract drive yes I know he's in the middle of a contract drive again. But the fact of the matter is he doesn't have a very long attention span and inevitably there's going to be something that comes up I think you could be okay. I don't -- today it was just a glimpse of what my right her and let they would get to July. And Manny -- the bench and they want a little love from the Dodgers and it's not coming his way. It would happen the other thing he's not a young man anymore and there to be injury is greater than it's been in the past obviously because of his age. Okay I know it very very early but please complete. The first. Big name to get traded will be Jake Peavy San Diego Padres righthander. Not exactly going out on a limb here because he's been rumored and of course nearly traded to the Cubs in the off season. But inevitably the Padres are going to look to max out with him. Get as much talent that can return they are not the very deep franchise right now in town -- he's the -- to -- The real intriguing one -- Toronto Blue Jays righthander Roy Halladay. Jays broke through great -- spot if they Bolter how to could -- which teams might. Usual suspects Red Sox Yankees haven't got a reward them mad but. Halladay is. This year about it if he becomes -- one guy who was the difference maker as would PPP. And that last point it got her manager that could ago would be. I'm going to give you Cooper of the Houston Astros. This the team that is not very good on that early in spring training -- that early in the season again and the Astros owner Drayton McLane has never met a scapegoat he didn't like. And he would like that one bad. -- will be without I want other -- in a nationally could be. When the nationals are involved in the equation and not talk over the course but they are not a good team that nationals of potter's work out to be one more -- The price seemed it could be this year Tampa Bay a Florida. From its -- yeah and the reason is they're starting rotation yeah. A lot of people don't realize how good Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco are. And they're going to find out because the rotation in the second half of last season was easily the best and naturally he. No they have those guys back there healthy. They have a very potent offense hiding Hanley Ramirez kid on Bonifacio not a great -- I don't know that the will be that good offensively all season but they are going to --"
