Per the Star Tribune this morning.
The Mariners have a few more hours to work a deal with whatever team did win the claim, so we should know soon. The Rays are definitely interested, but the Red Sox might have put in a claim to block that move.

The M's don't like to leak info

I would have to believe if the Sox blocked it Gammons or Cafardo would know. I hope.

Gammons only reports

in the best interest of Boston so depending on the fallout he might not go public.

FWIW using Graham's new site

Name wOBA RV/PA bRAA RV600
Ibanez .360 .025 13.1 15
Hinske .364 .029 9.7 17.4
B. Giles .376 .039 18.7 23.4

The farther a player is from 600 AB’s the larger variance between bRAA and RV600. So basically Ibanez (who bats LH btw) is a duplication of Hinske. Do we really need another redundancy on this bench? Not to mention that he won’t be free.

For what its worth (pun definitely intended)
Jayson Werth .373 .037 11.4 22.2

and Floyd straight platooning. Silly to say he’s not better.

Splits

Ibanez:

.825 OPS against righties
.923 OPS against lefties

I realize it’s a pretty massive reverse split, but historically he’s never had trouble hitting lefties.

In any case, there’s a big difference for THIS team.

In that he can field a position, run, and play everyday

but what about the veteran presence ::whine whine whine::

Seriously though, his numbers are 3.55 .021 3.8 12.6

so he compares close. But since he is actually a ballplayer and not just a stick then sure I can agree with that. Seems silly to dump him at this point after holding on for so long and he looks as healthy as he is going to be.

It sounds like Brandon Magee is going to be named a starting linebacker at ASU as a true freshman, so any chance of signing him has probably gone out the window. Local papers are reporting that he’s the best defensive player at the early scrimmages.

His eyes are awful

He loses balls off the bat constantly. Other than that, he’s not a horrible fielder. He just gets really bad jumps because his eyesight sucks.

Hflynn....
Although Mariners outfielder Raul Ibanez has reportedly been claimed on revocable waivers, it’s likely that Seattle has decided to keep Ibanez, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney.

One source indicated Thursday morning that the Tigers have claimed Ibanez, while others say the Twins have claimed him. The latter scenario seemingly makes more sense because the Twins need a hitter, in the aftermath of the injury to Michael Cuddyer.

According to the Seattle Times, the Rays appear to be have the greatest interest in Ibanez since Carl Crawford is likely out for the season, but team’s like the Red Sox may very well “block” any deal the Rays try to accomplish.

it looks like the cock blockers are trying to improve as well

With Lowell on DL, Sox could look for help
The Boston Red Sox placed third baseman Mike Lowell on the disabled list on Wednesday and will have first baseman Kevin Youkilis move over to third with Sean Casey replacing Youkilis at first. However, the Sox might want some more protection and could look to make a waiver deal for a corner infielder, the Boston Globe reports.

Some of the names floating around are San Francisco Giants infield Rich Aurilia and Houston Astros’ Mark Loretta.

Boston could also be interested in Gary Sheffield who was placed on waiver by the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Sheffield has made it clear in the past that he would like to play for the Red Sox.

plan ahead

Basically, assume someone could get hurt. Identify which players you could not live without. In this case, if the offense is already not high powered, it makes sense to grab someone who can help. That way, even if you don’t lose someone to injuries, you have a boost or break even, and if you do lose a hitter, you’re not SOL.

Slight disagreement with your description

He wasn’t running back to first, he was jogging back to first.

Laying aside the brain cramp (which may or may not be chronic), please explain again why it just looks like he’s loafing on every play, when in fact he’s actually giving 110% on every play.

How many great starts this year has Shields given us?

I seem to recall seeing something recently about him getting lit up more in the 1st than in subsequent innings in his starts.

“Now, you want a hand with all this,” J.D. asked, gesturing at the piles of clothes, and Stephen grinned and nodded, bending to grab one heap. J.D. grabbed another heap, and they chatted about Stephen’s classes as they headed to the laundry room. Despite knowing that their parents might only be a few minutes out, Stephen boosted himself onto the washer once he had started the first load, pulling J.D. close and kissing him again, wrapping his legs around the outfielder’s waist.

For the next two months, J.D. and Stephen worked on their stealth skills. J.D. would slip from the room he shared with Tim late at night to ease into Stephen’s bed. They went to the batting cages far more than necessary, taking back roads and pulling off into abandoned parking lots to make out in the back seat. It was some surreal jumble of heaven and hell for both of them. The time they could steal together was so precious, but both of them were constantly anxious, worrying about what ifs. Despite the pressure and anxiety of carrying on their relationship under the same roof as their parents, neither J.D. nor Stephen was glad for the end of the winter break to roll around. Somehow though, J.D. managed to get himself assigned to the task of driving Stephen back down to Tallahassee.

“Please J.D.,” Stephen gasped, and the older man reached down again, palming his brother’s cock expertly. Stephen moaned wordlessly, rocking back and forth eagerly between the hand on his cock and the cock in his ass. “Come on baby,” J.D. urged, “come on Stevie. Cum for me baby”. Stephen whimpered softly, rocking back one last time and cuming. J.D. moaned softly and thrust into him harder, faster, letting go of his dick to steady himself on Stephen’s hips as he pounded into him. Stephen groaned softly, over-sensitized, and then J.D. was splattering a full load of cum deep inside him. J.D. laid against his back for a moment, collecting himself. Slowly the big leaguer withdrew, then carefully washed away the cum that leaked from his brother’s ass. Stephen turned, and they kissed again. They stayed in the shower until the water ran cold, just kissing and holding onto one another.
