Night tidbits...

Well the division rivals are getting busy importing players from Asia...

The Devil Rays have won the bidding on infielder Akinori Iwamura. Early word has him playing 3b in place of BJ Upton or playing 2b with Cantu playing 1st.


The Red Sox won the bidding on Daisuke Matsuzaka as expected...however the amount was larger than anyone thought...$51.1 million!



As of yet the Jays are rumored to be speaking with everyone, Lugo is rumored to want 4 years and $32 million and it is rumored that the Jays have no(!) interest in Counsell but have expressed interest in Gil Meche. Looks like it will be one EXPENSIVE market. The next part of the Beane Count will be coming soon, somehow a file got corrupt so I need to do a re-write...
