It looks like after 1 vote Oswalt is the winner hands down.
Here is a shocker.
UPDATE: According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, the Mariners have indeed acquired Jesus Montero from the Yankees for Michael Pineda.
7:30 PM: Here’s a juicy one.
According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, the Mariners are moving closer to a trade for a “young impact hitter.” No word on who they might be talking to, but Crasnick was told that it’s a “significant trade” and that closer Brandon League is not going in the other direction.
Nothing confirmed here, but Larry Stone of the Seattle Times is hearing rumblings that the Mariners could be sending young right-hander Michael Pineda to the Yankees for Jesus Montero.
I think some people cheated in voting. They knew about the Kuroda signing and then voted above. The ballots were stuffed. I want a recount. Just kidding of course.
I really, really like what the Yankees did last night. And now I’m really excited about the start of the 2012 season, where I wasn’t so much before.
Now just a couple more MINOR movers by Cashman/Yankees and let the games begin.
