Colletti on Hanley Ramirez's position next year: "At this point in time, we're leaning toward shortstop."

Luis Cruz would get every chance to start at third, leaving Dee Gordon to the bench. I bet a team will come calling. (Arizona?)

I remember how excited I was when the offseason kicked off last year.

Now it's just like...whatevs.

Terry Francona is taking the Indians job.

[Mainge]

He got hired after he was fired.

[Bobbob1313]

I think that makes two of the last three Red Sox manager's to have that happen. Stupid Ben Berington.

Jim Tracy resigned in Colorado

"Uhhhhh you guys are serious about this pitching thing?"

I did not realize how terrible Robert Andino was this season until today.

Incredible that they made the playoffs while giving him 400 PAs at a .588 OPS.

[Beef]

They couldn't have made the playoffs without him.

Because they didn't

[Chewford]

Dan Uggla logic.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi made a special call to the public address announcer on the press level during a Yankees playoff game to request that Alex Rodriguez not be named when Girardi pinch hit Eric Chavez for A-Rod, people familiar with the situation said.

So when Chavez pinch hit for A-Rod, only Chavez's name was announced, not A-Rod's. Typically the announcement contains the names of both the player who is pinch hitting as well as the person who was being pinch-hit for.

The call by Girardi from the dugout did occur, confirmed general manager Brian Cashman.

Cashman said he believes it showed what lengths Girardi went through to protect A-Rod's feelings. Such a call is very unusual.
