Does anybody have an update on Bobby Crosby's injury?  He might have broken his wrist.  Anyone?  Bueller?

X-rays on Bobby Crosby's left wrist detected no break. He might be ready to play on Opening Day.

''It's swollen and discolored,'' trainer Larry Davis said. ''But's it's not broken. He has a contussion of the hand and we're just double checking the X-ray results with the MRI.'' Maybe Crosby won't be ready to play at the start of next week, but it looks like he'll avoid the disabled list.

Wow, talk about bashing a teammate indirectly...

At least one person wasn't happy with the Tigers' decision to keep Bobby Higginson over Marcus Thames.

''This really stinks,'' Dmitri Young said. ''Marcus is a totally good person on and off the field, and when you see someone screwed like that, you react.'' One can only assume that Higginson is not ''a totally good person.''

I guess we always knew that Higginson was a douchebag. :lol:

"Crawford inks six-year deal with Rays

Center fielder's pact is longest in Tampa Bay history"

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Devil Rays sent a strong message to their fans Friday by signing All-Star left fielder Carl Crawford to a six-year contract.

 

The agreement, which has a potential value of more than $31 million, includes two one-year club options covering the 2009 and 2010 seasons, Crawford's first two years of potential free agency.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon made a surprise adjustment Friday, moving Tike Redman into the No. 3 spot in the batting order.

 

Jason Bay was expected to bat third after hitting .282 with 26 homers and 82 RBI last season as the NL Rookie of the Year. But when Bay missed most of the exhibition schedule with a bruised wrist bone, McClendon liked how Redman adjusted to the third spot.

 

Yes, THAT Tike Redman, then one with the .684 OPS last season.

Byung-Hyun Kim gave up eight runs in one-third of an inning against the Rangers today in his Rockies debut.

That's one way to make an impression. Kim said he was healthy and ready to pitch again Saturday if called on, but added, ''if it doesn't get any better than tonight, I should just retire.'' Since he's owed $6 million, it's safe to asssume he'll be released before he seriously considers retirement. The Rockies won't give up on him before the start of the season, but if keeps getting bombed, they could ask him how he'd feel about working through his troubles at Triple-A Colorado Springs.

And some of you guys actually wanted this bum. :headshake What a complete and utter waste of $6 million dollars. I bet the Rockies wish they had Charles Johnson and Chris Narveson back.

Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon indicated today that Rob Mackowiak would open the season in a utility role.

Mackowiak will still get plenty of playing time against right-handers, stealing at-bats away from both Tike Redman and Ty Wigginton. If the Pirates keep him, he'll probably eventually find himself in the lineup versus all righties.

Tigers acquired RHP Matt Ginter from the Mets for LHP Steve Colyer.

A nice move by the Tigers. Colyer has plenty of long-term potential, but they could have lost him for nothing when they sent him through waivers this week. Ginter is an upgrade in middle reliever over Gary Knotts. He probably won't be worth owning in AL-only leagues, but he should help Detroit.

 

Gas Can Ginter is back in the ALC.

Ben Grieve, released by the Pirates yesterday, will sign a contract today to return to the Chicago Cubs.

The Rangers had interest, but couldn't clear a spot on their Triple-A roster. Grieve is expected to report to Triple-A Iowa, with a chance to make it back to Chicago as the fifth outfielder.

Ben Grieve is back on the Flubs.

Kevin Brown will miss his first scheduled start of the season because of a stiff back. He could go on the disabled list.

That Brown pitched in a major league game yesterday complicates things. The Yankees would like to simply have him switch rotation spots with Jaret Wright, who wasn't scheduled to pitch until April 15. However, if Brown goes on the DL, he won't be able to pitch until April 17. The Yankees will likely make a decision after Brown meets with his physical therapist in Georgia this afternoon.

Oakland locking up their young pitching;

 

"Rich Harden, Oakland's 23-year-old No. 2 starter, agreed to terms on a four-year, $9 million contract through 2008 with a club option for 2009."

Rangers almost dealt Soriano;

 

"For financial reasons, the Devil Rays backed out of a trade that would have brought them Alfonso Soriano from Texas for closer Danys Baez and second baseman Jorge Cantu. It is another symbol that Texas very willingly will move Soriano."

Omar Minaya ain't doing Scott Kazmir v 2.0 all over again;

 

"The Devil Rays' request of Yusmeiro Petit derailed the Mets' hopes of landing Danys Baez for the bullpen. Petit is not petite, and he's certainly not Pettitte. But he put up big numbers last year (10-3, 138 K's in 95 IP), and the Mets don't want to give the D-Rays their top pitching prospect. Again."
