Raw Meat for the Dogs
Raw Meat for the Dogs: "

The Detroit News says that Miguel Cabrera is now on the trading block:
Opening bids for Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson have plainly been underwhelming, or Dave Dombrowski, the Tigers president and general manager known for a fast trigger-finger, would by now have dealt at least one of two star players on the block during what could be a volatile offseason for the Tigers.
Nor has anything irresistible been offered for first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who might be as available as Granderson, Jackson, or seemingly any Tigers player as the team attempts to pare payroll and prepare for a fresh start heading into a new decade.
"I'm not getting into any names," Dombrowski said Monday, when asked about Cabrera, who would figure to be just the brand of hitter the Boston Red Sox would welcome to Fenway Park in their eternal quest to one-up the New York Yankees.
So Miguel Cabrera, who is maybe a top 3 young slugger, could possibly be traded this offseason. Worth noting.

It's Mauer. Only an idiot would vote otherwise. Fortunately for idiots, there is at least one party favor in the BBWA, because Miggy Cabrera picked up a first-place vote (but came in fourth overall). Catcher Mauer's slashes EACH led the AL: 365/.444/.587. Read that again and remember he is a catcher. Wow.
Teix and Jeets finished second and third. Props and all, love dem Yankees, yada yada, but whatever. Smells. Bad. Lazy.
edit: Cabrera's first-place vote came from Keizo Konishi of Kyodo News, a member of the Seattle chapter.

Tim Lincecum repeated as winner of the Cy Young for the senior circuit, while Zack Grienke took home the honors for the AL. There's no argument from me about the results in either case, but it is bizarre that Lincecum got fewer first-place votes than Adam Wainwright. Anyway, that's two CYs in three years in the bigs for the 25-year-old Lincecum, who got paid 650k for his work in '09.
Mike Scioscia won the MOY. Texas won 11 of 19 against the Halos. Ergo, Ron Washington is the best manager in the American League. Also, there are no un-fake names that are as bad-ass as 'Ron Washington.'
Derek Jeter won more than half of all other major baseball awards available. Along with winning a Gold Glove at shortstop AND second base (a major-league first, that) he snagged the Silver Surfer or something, which was certainly expected, he being Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four Core. Since you didn't ask: Mariano=Human Torch, Jorge=Thing, and Andy Pettitte's confession of HGH usage is the surprisingly Invisible Woman. Best of all, Mr. Fantastic took home the coveted 'Platinum Watchy', which is given to the player who is consistently firstest and bestest in reaching the rail from the bench when someone does something somewhere that causes camera operators to point their cameras at the bench rail to find out who is watchiest.
Who is your pick for the AL MVP? I'm picking the umpires.

About That Slugger...
About That Slugger...: ""
David Ortiz has been outspoken the last couple seasons about the Red Sox' need for more power in the lineup, and he was at it again yesterday:
“Everybody was looking at me like I was a clown,’’ Ortiz said yesterday
at Fenway Park, dropping an expletive to make his point. “I said we
needed another 30-home run hitter. Everybody was talking trash. There
you go. Now what?’’
Okaay. Of course, the Red Sox last year finished second in slugging percentage and third in home runs -- better in both categories than they did in 2008 and much better in home runs than in 2007. Now, Ortiz says the Sox needed another 30-homer hitter, which may or may not be significantly more valuable than a hitter who hit 28 home runs (as Ortiz did) or 27 home runs (as Kevin Youkilis, fifth in the league in slugging, did) or 24 home runs (as J.D. Drew did).
The Sox did have an offensive shortage in the postseason, but it's hard to say another power hitter would have solved anything, given the ones they had were atrocious. Jason Bay put up an OPS under .500, Kevin Youkilis' OPS was .250, and Ortiz himself put up a stellar 1-for-12 line with four strikeouts.
If the Sox re-sign Bay, the best way they can add a power hitter is for Ortiz to get himself healthy and worry about replicating his production from June forward.
