The Art of the Apology: Andy Pettitte & Eric Gagne Want Us To Forgive...
2008-02-18 23:26:00

2008 Projection: Andy Pettitte
2008-02-18 13:56:00
Today is D-Day for the Yankees' Andy Pettitte.  He is set to report to Training Camp in Tampa, FL, and meet witht he press about his HGH use and his depositions about former teammate Roger Clemens' usage.  Originally, he was set for his 1st workout also, but that has been postponed in anticipation of an all-consuming press conference. The biggest question I have is how all of this HGH rigamarole will affect his 2008 performance.  I suspect it will be a slight negative assuming Roger Clemens is pursued by the federal government on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.  Given Congress's emphasis on Andy Pettitte's character, Andy appears to be the key witness and will still be answering questions even after a full day spent doing so today. As a result, I placed him in the $8-14 bucket for AL-Only keeper leagues.  I know he has pitched poorly in the past when he had concerns about his family.  I am assuming he will react similarly now, but only l...

MLB Rumors: Johan Santan To Either the Red Sox Or Yankees. Andy Pettitte Re
2007-12-03 15:44:00
Now Johan Santana has informed the Twins he will not wiave his no-trade clause during the 2008 season nor will he do it for any team that is not the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox.  Some updates on the Santana sweepstakes. Sean McAdam reports the feeling is the Boston Red Sox are only trying to run-up the price the Yankees have to pay for Johan Santana while also mentioning the team has been in contact with the Milwaukee Brewers for ace Ben Sheets.  Those two positions seem inconsistent.  Why bluff for one ace while trying to land another, who will likely cost close to the same price as the first? Kevin Kernan and Joel Sherman follow-up yesterday's ultimatum that the Twins crap or get off the pot with Johan Santana by stating, "The Yankees are concerned about being trapped in an endless loop of talks that could stymie their attempts to pursue other options..."  This makes a lot of sense given the package offered for Santana should be at the top of any offere...

A reader emailed me to tell me that Buster Olney said on XM Radio recently that there are talks of the Twins going after Scott Rolen.  These reports can be tough to confirm, but there you go.  UPDATE: Joe Christensen squashes this one. Mark Feinsand doesn't think Epstein is keen on giving Mike Lowell even a three-year contract.  He might get five on the open market.  UPDATE: The Red Sox apparently have a three-year offer out to him, and he's still mulling it over. The White Sox inquired about Bill Hall, but Kenny Williams and Doug Melvin couldn't find a match. Baseball America weighs in on the Brad Lidge trade.  BP's Nate Silver gives his opinion here and here.  He thinks the Phillies made a mistake. The Astros have contacted Jeremy Affeldt's agent.  Also, Jim Molony speculates in this piece that speedy Josh Anderson could be...
