Miscellaneous Fulminations....

Spanning the Globe....

The Diamondbacks new deal with Justin Upton is pretty solid for the club. 6-yr/$51M....I believe Upton is a superstar in the making. The Tigers will pay Miguel Cabrera nearly $75M for the same swath of his career that the D-Backs will pay Upton starting now.

Paul Ryan for President? If I was making a "Future's Bet" in w/a London bookie, I'd put down a few sheckels on Paul Ryan for President in '16 or '20. I think the young Congressman from Wisconsin is the Republican Party's now and future star. The Wall Street Journal has an article titled at "Paul Ryan vs. The President" today. A good read.

Max Scherzer had a rough debut in a Tigers' uniform today in Exhibition action. Certainly its meaningless as this is mostly about getting in shape right now. "Mad Max" is going to be fun to watch in the OED....I cannot wait to see the real deal once the season starts. Scherzer is also a stat-geek! Gotta like that. He can quote chapter and verse on VORP and WPA...my kinda player!

The episode of "Criminal Minds" last night was creepy. Its not a perfect show....but it rarely is a total crud-fest either. (btw...we need some new episodes of "Castle"....gotta get a good Stana Katic fix here soon! Hey...even my wife thinks she's smokin' hot!)

Verlander should be taking the hill here in Spring Training soon. Rick Porcello was off to a good start today....Verlander's debut is eagerly anticipated by many.
