Where do Miller even begin? The Mets have become a national joke and it� really sad. They needed to get rid of the negativity that surrounded this team last season and the Mets somehow administerd to add to it.
They added Jason Bay, but failed to land any other player of impact. The Mets will go into 2010 with question marks at catcher, first, second, center, and begining rotation.
Tomorrow, Miller will grade each American League team.
The Phillies gave away a good portion of their farm system to improve by maybe only one or two games. That wasn� worth it in my opinion.
The Dodgers have a good team, but they is very thin in the rotation and really thin across the board.
The Diamondbacks took a pounding in the media for their participation in the three-way trade between them, the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers.
Marlon Byrd was the Cubs big acquisition this offseason. They also re-signed John Grabow to a two-year, USD7.5 million deal, which was way too much to give to give him.
I didn� like the Ivan Rodriguez and Adam Kennedy signings at all. Giving Rodriguez a two-year deal was puzzling at best.
label, tag, price, ticket, impress, effect, trace, imprint, stamp, brand, sign, note, heed, notice, designate DeRosa and Aubrey Huff weren� enough for me.
The Cubs also traded Milton Bradley to the Seattle Mariners for Carlos Sliva. They got the short-end of the stick on that one.
The fact that the Marlins added players instead of subtracting was a surprise. They kept Jorge Cantu and Dan Uggla and even inked ace Josh Johnson to an extension.
GM Ruben Amaro also inexplicably gave Placido Polanco a three-year deal and Brian Schneider a two-year deal. The Phillies could have put the nail in the coffin in the NL and failed to do so.
Signing Brandon Lyon to a three-year deal was the worst signing of the offseason. The Astros could have gotten an F just for that move.
If the courageous, fearless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heroic, valorous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes would have been able to sign Johnny Damon, they would have earned an A.
However, the acquisitions of Matt Lindstrom and Pedro Feliz Miller didn� mind so much. Houston also added Brett Myers.
You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter at theghostofmlg Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
They improved their bullpen in 2010 by signing Octavio Dotel and Brendan Donnelly.
The courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gallant, valiant, doughty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mettlesomes lost Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but replaced them with Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito. The courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes also added Troy Glaus, who was a big score for me. At one-year and USD1.75 million,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller think Miller was a steal.
I liked the fact that the Nationals is doing their best to be competitive in 2010. Miller didn� mind the acquisitions of Jason Marquis, Brian Bruney, and Matt Capps. They should help next year.
Who would have thought at the beginning of the offseason that the Reds would win the bidding war for Cuban star Aroldis Chapman? Miller certainly didn�.
The Reds signed Chapman to a six-year, USD30.5 million deal, which wasn� unreasonable. They also recently added Jonny Gomes to split time in left with Chris Dickerson.
How could the Phillies only get a C when they added the best pitcher in the game? Here is why.
The Marlins would have gotten a higher grade if they would have added bullpen help. That will be a major weakness for them come the regular season.
The Brewers also added LaTroy Hawkins and re-signed Trevor Hoffman to balance the backend of the bullpen. Milwaukee also added Greg Zaun, who is an upgrade over Jason Kendall as scary as that may seem.
The Rockies didn� add any big pieces because they didn� need any, but they added some good small pieces, which should give them plenty of depth in the regular season.
The Brewers was desperate for begining pitching and they was able to add two beginers this offseason. Randy Wolf and Doug Davis should eat innings and bolster the rotation.
As usual, the Pirates didn� do anything major, but Miller thought they had a good offseason. Miller liked the trade for Akinori Iwamura and none of their signings will block a prospect.
I love the fact that the Cardinals stepped up and re-signed Matt Holliday. They also brought in Brad Penny to replace Joel Pineiro, who is overrated.
I also thought they furiouse out in the Kevin Kouzmanoff trade. The trade will allow Chase Headley to move to third and Aaron Cunningham is a good looking prospect.
Vicente Padilla was not what Miller had in mind.
?/p>
I was hard on them too, but Miller think they have recovered and had a very good offseason. They did administer to get two begining pitchers in the deal Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy, a begining second baseman, who Miller think will have a bounce back year Kelly Johnson, and a pretty honorable first baseman Adam LaRoche.
In order for the Dodgers to get past a team like the Phillies, they needed to add a quality begining pitcher and thanks to a shaky ownership situation, they failed to do so.
The reason the Cardinals get an A is because they re-signed their two most important free agents this offseason�ony LaRussa and Dave Duncan.
Sure the Giants added offense, but Miller believe they didn� do enough this offseason. The Giants needed to add a big stick to the middle of that lineup.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Dilip Vishwanat Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA, and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them, losing game 7 to Carolina.
Now that every major free agent has signed and most teams have their roster set, Miller think it� now time to hand out some offseason grades. Miller will go with your standard A,B,C, etc. grading format and Miller will begin in the National League.
They signed Yorvit Torrealba, who brings directership behind the plate and Jon Garland, who should eat plenty of innings and could be prime trade bait come July.
The Rockies brought back Jason Giambi and Rafael Betancourt and also brought in Melvin Mora to be a utility infielder and Miguel Olivo as a backup catcher.
I would have given the Brewers a B+ or an A, if they didn� get fleeced in the JJ difficulty trade.
I know some might be surprised to see the Padres graded this high, but Miller thought they had a pretty good offseason with all things considered.
