Is Now the Best Time to Acquire a Rental Property?
2009-04-11 21:54:00
In the last few weeks we have witnessed an encouraging uptick in the stock market and housing markets. It may be a sign of a bottoming out process, but who knows. One thing that is certain, mortgage rates have never been this low since we began tracking mortgage rates. Sub 5 percent mortgage rates on 30 year fixed loans are literally unheard of, but we are now experiencing them. Couple that with a more affordable housing market and this may be an opportune time to consider picking up a rental property. Such a move may payoff for you in five years and beyond, once we get out of the financial mess we are currently in. A rental property near major transportation and employment hubs will set you up for when the economy turns around. Homes located in these areas will be in higher demand. Since it is still a buyer's market, you can request that sellers (if they are not bank-owned properties) do some repairs before the settlement date. This will reduce the amount of work you will have to ...
Penguins Should Acquire Stillman and Nash
2009-03-03 15:42:00
The National Hockey League?s trade deadline is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3:00pm Eastern Time. The Pens have already traded Ryan Whitney to the Anaheim Ducks for Chris Kunitz and prospect Eric Tangradi. I encourage you to read Empty Netters, The Pens Blog and the other Penguins blogs for analysis of this trade if you haven't done so already. Meanwhile, I have a few ideas of what else the Pittsburgh Penguins should do.1. Acquire LW Cory Stillman. Stillman, currently a member of the Florida Panthers, is the type of veteran with Stanley Cup experience that the Pens could use. Stillman won Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003-2004 and Carolina Hurricanes in 2005-2006 where he had 26 points in 25 playoff games. Stillman has scored 20+ goals in 9 of the past 11 seasons and although he only has 12 goals this season and is currently injured, he has been a key part of the Panthers? resurgence. When he gets healthy, Stillman would be great for the Pens down the stretch.2. Ac...
Cubs Acquire Kevin Gregg and Say Goodbye To Kerry (sob!)
2008-11-13 20:44:00
Sigh ESPN The Chicago Cubs have acquired Florida Marlins reliever Kevin Gregg, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. The Marlins received 22-year-old right-hander Jose Ceda in return, according to sources. Gregg, who was Florida's closer for most of the 2008 season, saved 29 games last season and was 7-8 with a 3.41 ERA. He blew nine saves for the Marlins in 2008. He is the fourth arbitration-eligible player traded by the Marlins this offseason, joining first baseman Mike Jacobs, who was traded to Kansas City, and outfielder Josh Willingham and starting pitcher Scott Olsen, who were traded to Washington. Chicago's closer, Kerry Wood, is scheduled to become a free agent at midnight. Um . . . okay. Can't be any worse than Kevin Hart. But oooh, there are going to be some pissed off Cubs fans (Maddog, I'm looking at you) over losing Ceda. Though to me, he's just another over-hyped pitcher that will wind up sucking. You know why? Because we CAN'T EVALUATE PITCHING TALENT...

Padres Acquire Baek
2008-05-28 11:20:00
The Padres and Mariners worked out a minor trade, as they have many times in the past.  The Padres acquired Cha Seung Baek for Jared Wells.  Baek was in the 10-day limbo period after being designated for assignment. Baek, 28, has a 4.96 ERA in 168.2 career innings for the Mariners.  His best asset has been respectable control.  The Ms signed Baek out of Korea for $1.3MM in '98.  Baseball America said back in '05 that Baek succeeds by locating a full five-pitch repertoire.  He had Tommy John surgery back in '01. Wells, 26, was shifted to relief at Triple A last year and picked up nine saves.  His numbers have been ugly - tons of hits, poor control, mediocre strikeout rate.  Baseball America notes his average slider and decent two-seam fastball.

Pirates Acquire Jason Michaels, Brewers Mull Turnbow

After being designated for assignment back on May 5, Jason Michaels has been traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for, what else, a player to be named later. As Tim noted on Monday, Michaels has been pretty terrible so far this year. Not that he was so hot during his tenure in Cleveland. He wasn't able to get his OBP above .330 or his SLG above .400. Not so hot for a corner outfielder. The Pirates options OF Nyjer Morgan to AAA to make room for Michaels. I haven't seen word on the move to clear room for Michaels on the 40-man roster. Though it's entirely possible that the Pirates have a spot open. Any Pirates fans know the deal? In other recently-designated news, it is believed that the Brewers have placed reliever Derrick Turnbow on waivers. The former closer was DFA a week ago, so something needs to be done soon. Tom Haudricourt believes he could clear waivers by Friday. If he clears, he could accept an assignment to AAA with the Brewers. Otherwise he'd become a free agent and for...
