  Joe Blanton. Back to Renteria - can we find a match?  The White Sox, Tigers, and A's might want to import a shortstop (though Renteria for Blanton wouldn't fly with Oakland).  Indeed, the first two connections have already surfaced in print.  The Braves offered Renteria and a top pitching prospect to the White Sox for

  in trade."  Edgar Renteria seems to be a popular choice among MLBTR readers.  Or will the Tigers make another attempt at Jack Wilson from Pittsburgh?  Or would they stick with the in-house option of Ramon Santiago?  The apparent good news is there are many options. This also confirms the obvious:  the

  would fit the bill and Edgar Renteria wouldn't, though Renteria outslugged Tejada this year.  Regardless I expect the Cardinals to make an aggressive push for one of them (Larry Borowsky of Viva El Birdos got me thinking along these lines).

  position by acquiring Edgar Renteria for youngsters Jair Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez. The Tigers will owe Renteria roughly $6.3MM in '08 and have a good chance of exercising his $11MM option for '09.  They've added a five-win shortstop in Renteria. The price was reasonable.  Jurrjens turns 22 in January and can probably

  We saw what happened last time Edgar Renteria played shortstop in the American League - it didn’t look pretty and he was exiled from the red sox. That said - he was damn good for the Braves this year and the Detroit Tigers will give a more stress-free environment than Boston did. This is a [...]

  Hernandez to Atlanta, Edgar Renteria to Detroit I must preface this by saying that I think this deal isn’t too bad for the Tigers either. It’s just spectacular from the Braves end, so that’s where we’ll focus. - In what will amount to basically a salary dump for the Braves (Renteria makes $9 million per season), the

  that the Braves had traded Edgar Renteria to the Tigers for pitcher Jair Jurrjens and centerfield prospect Gorkys Hernandez, I've had a bunch of people ask me my opinion on the trade. They wondered if I was extra happy about it because Jurrjens is from Curacao just like me.First of all, I think that this trade works out great for both teams.

  when Frank Wren shipped Edgar Renteria to Detroit for Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez in October. But who thought the 22-year-old kid would be the glue of this rotation this soon? I wouldn't dare compare somebody with 12 major-league starts to a guy with 349 career victories, but you can see some Greg Maddux in the Curaco native. Jurrjens

  not a mistake was trading Edgar Renteria to open up a starting spot for Escobar, who bounced back from the rough road trip with a big night. I know I've said it time and time again, but this team just plays better at home. More relaxed. Great at-bats last night. Mostly good pitching. Clutch hitting. This is a very important week for the
