I was mentioned at the very end of the last thread, but I thought I mention that the Cards traded Skip Schumaker to the Dodgers. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/12/dodgers-acquire-skip-schumaker-from-cardinals.htmlWhich I'm completely fine with as I've never been much of a fan. He is a good outfielder, but a below average secondbasemen. He was definitely a Tony guy as he kept him in there somewhere no matter what, I was glad Matheny didn't use him near as much. For a small, leadoff hitter type, he really doesn't run fast and doesn't walk much, so enjoy Dodgers.

So now that both Leagues are at 15, will we see each team have an AL/NL partner come All Star voting like we saw a year or so ago with the Giants and Red Sox. Like every year each team's site says vote all of us on the ballot. But the Red Sox and Giants also said vote the other on the ohter half of the ballot.
So if they do that, who will be the voting partners?

I don't think every team will be like that, but I think if they did, you'd see the Cardinals or the Reds tell voters to vote for every Astros player available to make the AL squad lousy.

Two guys who strike out over 200 times a season.
Somehow, I'll take this if it means a little right-handed power for once.

He came through in the clutch a few times for us, but this will always be the most iconic image associated with him:

I've only gone to one live baseball game in my life...and Skip Schumaker hit a home run that night.
...Just sharing.

I'm going to miss Skip in STL. He was a favorite on the team and I have a friend who not going to like the news. She loved him.

The Red Socks are nearing a deal with Ryan Dempster. I guess they gave in and gave him a 3 year contract which is quite risky to a 35 year old pitcher.

Ryan Dempster is a classic example of a typical NL pitcher who can't cut it with the better hitting in the American League. I'd laugh if the Red Sox signed him.

ESPN is reporting Hamilton to the Angels for 5 years.

I think Hamilton to the Angels is a good move for both Anaheim and Hamilton's health. Also reunites him with CJ Wilson, who is both straight edge and was Hamilton's safety valve when they played in Texas.

And Pujols/Hamilton just became the new 3-4 champions of the league.

Ranger fans- you wanted him gone, you got it. (In before Tyfo calls him TRAITOR!)
And I'll say this- compared to the Dodgers spending, I can't really LOL at the Angels for this.

I'm fine with Hamilton leaving. Beltre is the true MVP of the team anyway.

So, the Angels and Dodgers are clearly sending a message: We're tired of the Giants running the state of California, and we're not gonna take it anymore!
