The Tigers plan to go with Alex Avila as their starting catcher next season and will allow Gerald Laird to leave as a free agent in the offseason

What AJM got to smash a marriage and call Gerald Laird to the stand to testify during the trial?
Wouldn’t that be like his Christmas morning?

Attached an LA Times blog entry that
says Scott Kazmir is not guaranteed a spot in the Angels rotation next year….even eluded to them releasing Kazmir……..Rangers have had some success with Angels castaways….how about one more?

Better Kazmir
than Laird.

just about anyone is better than Laird

After further review, it looks like it would be a trade....Harden for Kazmir.....
Kazmir – Career
WHIP – 1.40
BB/9 4.2
SO/9 8.8
SO/BB 1.95
Harden – Career
WHIP – 1.276

My first instinct was no
But who would be better? I’m not sure a Laird signing would be a bad thing.
I didn't know what a mancrush was. Derek Holland showed me.
Damn Adam..... Still?
I know the catcher situation sucks, so you could probably make an argument for it… But I still like the idea of Buck, unless his value rose after the all star apperance and he’ll get overpaid… He did sign a one year deal, right?
I don't want retard back
unless he is only a back up
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Laird is a perfect fit for
the Ron Washington “small ball bunt-o-rama”…..10 sacrifices last year…5 this year…..

If Teagarden doesn't improve next year, why the hell not?
TX is probably becoming a pretty attractive team to come to considering the new ownership and our pipeline of good young players.
One Man, Five Scoops. Give me Benjie.

Amen
I’d just as soon go with the Fat Molina. At least the guy can frame a pitch.

Molina

Tell Benjie to lose some weight if we sign him as a condition in the deal

We're not offering Molina arb.
He would get down on his old, fatty knees and thank God if we offered him arb.
This reminds me of that Mike and Molly preview
(Mike and Molly is a new show on CBS, I think, about two fat people).
Mike is in front of a bunch of fat people and he says, “Every morning I get on my knees and pray to god that I can stay on my diet. Then I pray that I have the strength to get up off the floor.”
This reminds me of that.

No arbitration
That would guarantee him $3.6 million for next season.

I'm still high on the idea of
moving Chris Davis to catcher. Because, why the hell not?

I like to think of that
as the ZebraCakes plan.

ZebraCakes are so fucking clutch.
I used to eat the fuck out of those in high school.

Is 'Gerald Laird' some kind of new translation of the words 'Russel Martin' that I hadn't heard before?

GDTs had no more than 200 comments in the ONE THREAD, Pop-up was the only real meme this place had going, and Adam did more than herd comments.
Russell Martin worth a shot.

? Might be nice to have a guy with 20-HR potential in the bottom third of the order. FA.
Or maybe Lou Marson – a young C highly touted as a prospect whose lustre has been tarnished a bit by a rough first year, but who still has upside and could maybe just use a change of scenery. Still only 24.
Jesus Flores might be expendable with Ramos aroiund. Still only 26.
Ryan Doumit has some pop and is a switch-hitter. 29.
