Encarnacion Rings In The New Year With A Bang
While we were all popping bottles of champagne and getting midnight kisses, Blue Jays 3rd basemen Edwin Encarnacion was popping bottle rockets in his face, and getting 2nd degree burns.
At least he doesn’t need his face to bat .225, and not live up to his potential again.

The 2009 MLB winter meetings have been probably the most active big name deals in years. Pitching is at the top of everyone’s Christmas lists, and teams are giving up bats to get the arms they want. Let’s look at some trades and “almost done deals” as of Monday afternoon:
Done deal:
Curtis Granderson moves from Detroit to NY to takeover center field for the Yankees who lost Ian Kennedy and Phil Coke.
Done Deal:
Andy Pettite signs one year deal with NY Yankees
Done Deal:
Chone Figgins signs a 4-year deal with the Seattle Mariners

A source with in the Blue Jays organization [who’s name I will respectfully leave out] has reported that the Dodgers are offering Russell Martin and Andre Either, most likely along with some throw in’s, for all-star future hall of fame pitcher Roy Halladay.
With the Dodger bullpen leading the league in innings pitched, thanks in part to their young rotation, a work horse like Halladay would be the perfect ace to step in and eat up innings.
Unlike ESPN, who is naming names like Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw, we don’t charge monthly for our insider information.
