Tegan and Sara, pictured performing at Staples Center in 2012, are among the nominees for Canada's Polaris Music Prize announced Tuesday. (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times / October 7, 2012) |
Canada's Polaris Music Prize is putting the "white" in the Great White North.
Nominees for this year's award -- which seeks to recognize "creativity and diversity in Canadian recorded music," according to a statement -- were announced early Tuesday, and Pop & Hiss is here to tell you that it's a truly horrifying collection, with more indie rock than you can shake an ice-encrusted maple leaf at.
Assembled by an "independent jury of over 200 music journalists, broadcasters and music bloggers from across Canada," the short list includes albums by -- deep breath here -- Metric, METZ, Purity Ring, Colin Stetson, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Whitehorse, Young Galaxy and Tegan and Sara.
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
To be clear, we don't hate all those records.
METZ's noisy self-titled debut punches up fond memories of Big Black and Shellac; Tegan and Sara's "Heartthrob" finds that twin-sister duo working at a higher level of popcraft than ever before. And the muckraking cranks in Godspeed always have something provocative to say, even if their music remains a bit of a chore to get through.
But on a list of 10 albums -- one laughably described as "moody and exciting" by Polaris founder Steve Jordan -- can there really be room for only two releases from outside the indie-rock hothouse? (Those would be Zaki Ibrahim's "Every Opposite" and "Nation II Nation" by A Tribe Called Red.)
Where's the country music? Where's the R&B? And perhaps most importantly, where's Justin Bieber?
The Polaris Music Prize -- which Feist won last year with her album "Metals" -- is to be handed out Sept. 23 at a ceremony in Toronto. For the first time ever, "a limited number of public balcony seat tickets" will be offered to average Joes for $50, organizers said. Count us out.

It has been an interesting start to the week for hip-hop. It's not every day that technology brings one of the genre's most popular artists, Tupac Shakur, back to (virtual) life in front of a packed house and then reportedly sends him on tour. But hip-hop and innovation have gone hand-in-hand from the genre's very beginning.
At least part of that history has been tackled by rapper and "Law & Order" star Ice-T, who made his directorial debut with the documentary "Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap," in which he explores hip-hop's creation and early evolution. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is set for a theatrical release in June.
Based on the trailer and reviews of the film following its premier at Sundance, "Something from Nothing," looks at not only the technological innovations in the genre, including the incorporation of the turntable and the latest in audio editing software, but the very act of creating the rhyme — an inherently innovative undertaking. During an interview with Billboard.com in January, Ice-T mentioned how queries about hip-hop rarely focus on its most basic element:
I've been doing interviews about rap for 20 years and no one ever asked us how we do it. They talk about the music, but they don't go, "How do you write a rhyme?"
In light of this, an exploration of hip-hop's creation may be a good source of inspiration for anyone interested in fostering an innovation-rich environment. At its core, innovation is the creation of "something from nothing" — or at least from elements that no one had ever thought to combine before, whether it be the marriage of a rhyme and a new beat or the re-purposing of a record player.
Then there's the genre's ability to foster inspiration and empowerment — key ingredients for fostering innovation in any field. U.S. Army Sgt. Jeff Barillaro, also known as "Soldier Hard," has been leveraging this as he struggles with severe PTSD following his service in Iraq. All Things Considered's Daniel Zwerdling posted Barillaro's moving story and the role rap has played in his and others' healing process. Zwerdling writes:
There are other troops who sing about their battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some do it with hip-hop, some with country music. But Barillaro focuses on his battles since he's come home. He can hardly sleep. His memory is shot: He'll talk with someone and then forget what they said. He binge-drinks and pops Percocets; he yells at family members for no apparent reason. His songs come almost straight from his medical records.
Now, let the record show, I am far from hip- hop's biggest fan. I've found the frequent objectification of women in music videos and promotional materials to be, at best, unappealing and, at worst, blatantly offensive. But that doesn't mean one shouldn't take the opportunity, when possible, to look past the "parties and booties and girls," in the words of Ice-T, and recognize the role the genre has played, and can continue to play, not only as a fertile seedbed for innovation and a partial reflection of American culture, but as an outlet for creativity and, ultimately, healing.
Read more about "Soldier Hard" at NPR, or on his Web site.

Fresh off big collects on Musical Romance and Perfect Shirl, I'm back on the hunt for even more Breeders' Cup longshots today, and considering all the full fields of quality horses running in nine BC races, it's a safe bet that we'll have plenty more huge payoffs to chase. One of those horses that promise to light up the tote board, and my personal favorite bomber of the day, is Fantastic Song in the Juvenile Turf.
Trained by Chad Brown, the good looking bay son of top turf sire, Lemon Drop Kid, has only had two career starts, but has done enough in those races for me to like his chances today despite the 20-1 morning line odds. The Green Hills Farm colt made his debut a winning one when he rallied from last to prevail in a 1 1/16m maiden turf race at Saratoga. The quality of that performance was pointed out when the horse he edged by a head that day, Animal Spirits, came back to win the Grade 3 Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland in his next start.
Meanwhile, Fantastic Song made his second start in the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park on a very soft turf course on October 2. Sent of as the 8-5 choice, he finished third while running evenly, but was beaten only a length for the money. While the defeat should insure inviting odds today, I tend to believe it will only serve as experience for the lightly raced colt. The condition of the turf that day was most likely not one that he preferred.
"The colt definitely needs firm ground," Brown said. "He didn't run his "A" race in the Pilgrim. He still almost won, but it's not his 'A' race. His 'A' race is the first time out in Saratoga when he came from dead last and won.
"I'm looking for the same type of trip here. I'm looking for a quicker pace and firm ground for him on Saturday. He's got a nice cozy post on the inside (2), I want to find my way to the fence pretty soon and let them battle up front."
I couldn't agree more with the sentiments of his trainer, and fully expect a big performance on a turf course that is currently listed as good, and is drying out quickly. I just hope I get 20-1 on him.
So now you know Fantastic Song is my top longshot of the day … who do you like?

Do schools have enough? K-12 funding across the country
Alabama's education committee chairman Rep. Jay Love expects enough additional revenue next year to be able to spend more on education expenses like raises for education employees or expansion of distance learning and prekindergarten programs.
Love addressed the Kiwanis Club of Montgomery on Jan. 22, 2013. He said that the state depleted rainy day funds and stimulus money during the recent economic downturn, but the budget still grew. It increased from $4.3 billion in 2003 to $6.7 billion in 2009. The current education budget is $5.4 billion.
"It was a very difficult time," Love said, referring to trying to balance the budget given the depleted funds and lack of revenue. "We were going to have to stand on our own two feet."
For now, Love said revenues are gradually increasing, but costs are increasing as well.

This is a useless list. It gives no way to do meaningful comparisons. The
author listed per pupil funding in just a few states, and no numbers on funding
in many states.
A meaningful list would haven been:
1. funding
per pupil in each state
2. student achievement on the NAEP for each
3. class sizes in that state
This would have
demonstrated, clearly, that funding does not determine student achievement, nor
does class size.
Then, organizing the list into the lowest funded
and highest achievement would have put Utah on top, which is what our
constituents needs to see. Our teachers and schools do an amazing job with the
resources they have.

If Utah has 22.8 students per class and we pay around $6,000 per student and we pay $40,000 to the teacher. Let's see 22.8 X $6,000 = $137,000.00. $137,000 - $40,000 leaves $97,000. Some of this goes to maintenance, capital expenditures for new buildings, and administration. I wonder what these would amount to in a private school, a lot less I would suggest. When I was a boy 75 years ago plus 2/3 of the school money went to the teachers. They do the work. Now it seems to be more like 1/3 of the funds. Maybe we could pick up a few dollars by reducing administration expenses. Maybe we could cut the red tape a little. The best solution would be vouchers. Give a $5,000 voucher and you save $1,000 per student.

So...if we look at Nevada, and Idaho, and a number of the other states that
allow gambling and lotteries that supposedly benefit the education system so
much, why is it that their schools are still struggling so much? Hmmm... Seems
like we ought to keep that in mind when the next referendum to allow lotteries
comes up here (since it seems to surface every few years...)
A lot
of these school systems are plagued by bloated salaries at the district level.
Administrators in many of these school districts are making well into the

"International Myeloma Working Group updated criteria for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma," published in The Lancet Oncology, November 2014.
After the success of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, some very special myeloma patients and supporters got together to create a fun campaign designed around myeloma awareness. The goal was to make myeloma more well known around the globe, bringing communities together to fight for a cure. The #MamboforMyeloma initiative asks patients, caregivers, doctors, friends, family members, and groups to film themselves dancing and share a donation link for the cause. You don't have to be an amazing dancer; the spirit is what is important. With #MamboforMyeloma, myeloma patients have the power to be seen and heard, initiating change and sharing their stories. The IMF supports #MamboforMyeloma and encourages you to share your photos and videos, as well as to donate here: https://online.myeloma.org/netcommunity/MamboforMyeloma
Laughter rocked the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 8th, when guests and stars gathered in support of the IMF's 8th Annual Comedy Celebration benefiting the Peter Boyle Research Fund and supporting the Black Swan Research Initiative®. Comedians and actors including host Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts, Danny DeVito, and Lesley Nicol, among many others, presented a special version of "Celebrity Autobiography," performing hilarious readings of segments of stars' autobiographies. The night also brought excitement for auction winners who left with items including luxury vacations, signed sports memorabilia, and even a teddy bear handcrafted and donated by a myeloma patient. The performers had the audience in stitches and the event raised funds for critical myeloma research – we'd call that a big success!
To all of the fine men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country we offer our heartfelt thanks and best wishes for a Happy Veterans Day!

Last week, LaRue County Fiscal Court received $58,824 in recycling grant money from the Kentucky Pride Fund, and local Solid Waste Coordinator Jill Gray could not contain her excitement. She plans to use the money to buy a skid steer (loader) and two more recycling trailers. The skid steer is what Gray calls a "multi-tasking unit" and allows for different attachments, like a claw, forks or a bucket.
LaRue County Fiscal Court met briefly May 29 at the courthouse to approve the tentative budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
"The budget is somewhat similar to what our (current) budget is, not exactly though, there have been a few changes in it," said LaRue County Judge-executive Tommy Turner.
The tentative budget allocates $3,204,850 to the general fund; $1,710,847 to the road fund; and $2,063,925 to the jail fund.
A candidate who lost a bid to be the Republican 24th District state representative candidate filed a lawsuit Friday challenging the primary election results.
Richard Treitz of Greensburg filed his complaint May 30 in Green Circuit Court.
Treitz is listed as the petitioner in the case, and he is representing himself.
Ira Dyer is out as director of Hardin County Emergency Medical Services after serving more than six years in county government.
Dyer submitted a verbal resignation to Judge-Executive Harry Berry on Thursday and a written resignation Friday, Berry said Tuesday afternoon following Hardin Fiscal Court's voting meeting at H.B. Fife Courthouse.
Berry revealed Dyer's resignation at the end of Tuesday's meeting after Magistrate Doug Goodman asked for an update on the status of the position.
Thursday night, City Councilman Kenny DeVore was sworn in as interim mayor.
The action came after several hours of testimony and a unanimous decision by Hodgenville City Council to remove second-term mayor, Terry Cruse.
Michelle Sparks, an attorney hired by the city council, presented evidence gleaned from a Kentucky State Police investigation and open record requests to the council. Ron Mather represented Cruse.
Several races were decided in Tuesday's Primary Election. Fewer than half (43.1 percent) of the county's registered voters turned out at the 12 precincts.
In one of the closest races, Kyle Williamson edged Thomas "Tom" Claycomb for county attorney (1,806 to 1,438). There is no Republican candidate, so Williamson will take office in January.
Williamson said he and Claycomb "have been friends a long time and will continue to be."
Thursday night, City Councilman Kenny Devore was sworn in as interim mayor.
Michelle Sparks, an attorney hired by the city council, presented evidence gleaned from a Kentucky State Police investigation and open record requests to the council. Ron Mather represented Cruse.
If current talks prove fruitful, the vacant Clayton Mobile Homes property at LaRue County Industrial Park may have a new owner.
Director of Economic Development Bob Sims told LaRue Fiscal Court meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville May 13 that talks concerning the purchase of the 27-acre site have been ongoing for several weeks.
The ballots have been set for the May 20 Primary.
Two incumbents are retiring, opening their offices to new faces.
County Attorney Dale Morris did not file for re-election. Hodgenville attorneys Thomas "Tom" Claycomb and Kyle Williamson, both Democrats, have filed for the office.
Longtime Property Valuation Administrator James Q. Shaw, a Democrat, filed his candidacy paperwork early – but withdrew from the race on Jan. 28.
The position is being contested by Democrats Chad Puyear and Scotty Lee.
Hodgenville City Council held first reading Monday of a sewer use ordinance.
The 47-page policy was prepared by the Kentucky Rural Water Association at the direction of the Division of Water, according to Mayor Terry Cruse. Each city is required to have regulations dealing with the sewer system.
City Clerk MaDonna Hornback read a condensed version of the ordinance that had been prepared by City Attorney Mary Gaines Locke.

Fulham boss Mark Hughes hoping to sign Shaun Wright-Phillips from Manchester City
City outcast: Wright-Phillips Fulham hope to make Shaun Wright-Phillips their second signing of the January transfer window. Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini confirmed the midfielder, 29, is likely to leave and Fulham, Birmingham and Newcastle are interested. Fulham manager Mark Hughes refused to deny his interest in Wright-Phillips, but confirmed a move for Emmanuel Adebayor is unlikely. Hughes said: 'He (Wright-Phillips) is a player I've worked with, a player I know. Manu is a guy who I like as a person. But that doesn't mean we're in a position to bring him here.'

French election: Why is turnout so high?
The turnout in the first round of the French presidential election was more than 80%. The last time that number went to the polls in the UK was 1951. Why do so many French vote?
It's a measure of the Gallic fervour for election campaigning that the candidate who went on to earn fourth place in Sunday's vote was able to draw crowds in their tens of thousands.
Jean-Luc Melenchon, the Left Front leader, invoked France's revolutionary past while addressing packed street rallies ahead of the poll, in which he just about reached double figures.
But perhaps a more accurate reflection of the strength of political engagement came at the ballot box, where four out of five registered French voters cast a vote.
Turnout was slightly down on the 84% who voted in the last presidential election in 2007, but given the poor showings in the regional and European elections in the last few years, there had been fears it would be a lot lower.
And 80% far outstrips the turnout in the most recent national elections held in many of France's neighbours, including Germany (71%), the UK (66%) and Switzerland (47%).
Continue reading the main storyVoter turnout in presidential and parliamentary elections
Turnout in France was surprisingly high, says Damien Philippot, research executive at the French Institute of Public Opinion in Paris.
"The polls last week ago showed that around 24% of people didn't want to vote, and the week before it was 30%.
France v UK: Vive la difference
The high turnout in the first round of the French presidential election, at 80.2%, has amazed outsiders. It is however a constant trend for a presidential election in France. When, in 2002, the abstention rose to 28%, it was seen as a political earthquake.
Such a figure was, however, still much higher than in most other European countries. In Britain, only 59% of voters turned out in 2001, although it was slightly more, at 65% in 2010. Perhaps it is not so much that the British are apathetic when it comes to politics but rather that the French love nothing more than universal suffrage and making their voice heard: a question of national temperament and history.
Politics has been a French passion for a very long time. It would be easy to date it from 1789 and perhaps from July 14th when they stormed the Bastille, introducing, in their eyes at least, modern democracy to the world. Whether they take to the streets or cast their ballots, the French are committed citizens.
"So people have decided to vote at the last minute, young people and low-paid workers who are angry about unemployment and wanted to vote against the incumbent. Traditionally the older people and middle class vote anyway."
Presidential elections always provide a "big moment" in the political life of France, he says.
"And in the last five years, a new generation of politicians has helped to attract younger people.
"Many people have also understood that the economic situation is very complicated and it's important for them to give their opinion about it."
Timing may play a part. The French vote was on a Sunday, while the British usually hold their general election on a Thursday, which is a working day for many.
And voting in the French parliamentary elections is much lower, at around the 60% mark.
But there's also a different political culture in France to the UK, says Helen Drake, author of Contemporary France (2011) and a lecturer in French and European studies at Loughborough University in Leicestershire.
"In some ways French politics is anchored to the past and the notion that French politics is exceptional, and that exceptionalism is linked to the French Revolution of the late 1700s - that dramatic transformation in the French system from monarchy to republic.
"It didn't overnight inculcate the republic in France but the idea of a French republic as a form of government is in their DNA and is characterised by a style of politics."
There is an unmediated relationship between the leader and the people, at least symbolically, she says. The president is perceived to be able to change things - even if the reality often disappoints - so his election matters.
A written constitution with grand ideas of equality and fraternity takes French politics beyond the prosaic, she says, and this filters down to the street, to the cafes and to the rallies.
"There is a willingness to be seen, to be counted and to make a noise."
But why is there such variation between comparable nations?
There are certain factors driving high turnouts in any well-established democracy, says Andrew Ellis of the Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, based in Stockholm.
"Elections that look as if they will be close - either nationally or at district level - will attract high turnouts.
Compulsory voting
- Australia
- Argentina
- Brazil
- Uruguay
- Ecuador
- Luxembourg
- Belgium
- Greece
"Elections where there is a real choice, and the result matters, attract high turnouts.
"And elections conducted under electoral systems where people think that their vote counts and is likely to have an impact, generate high turnouts."
France's first round was closely fought and there was a real choice, he says, with a genuine sense among voters that a new president matters, in personality, leadership and policy terms.
By contrast, in Switzerland, general election turnout is very low because for many years it was often the same coalition governing.
Another boost to turnout in countries like France is the proportional-style system which means fringe parties are represented, says Ellis.
"By and large, the countries with the kind of proportional systems where most of the participating parties get representation have turnout that is 8% higher on average than majoritarian elections we have in the UK, where people supporting minorities are less likely to vote."
In the UK, turnout peaked in 1951, when the country gave Winston Churchill his second stint in Downing Street, and has been falling since, despite the odd spike.
"That brings into play another effect established in long-standing democracies, which is that the people get in to a habit of voting or not in about the first three national elections after they become old enough to vote," says Ellis.
So the danger is that what's happened in the UK and US, which also has low turnouts, means many people have been put off voting for life.

This is The Goldman Sachs Project. Put simply, it is to hug governments close. Every business wants to advance its interests with the regulators that can stymie them and the politicians who can give them a tax break, but this is no mere lobbying effort. Goldman is there to provide advice for governments and to provide financing, to send its people into public service and to dangle lucrative jobs in front of people coming out of government. The Project is to create such a deep exchange of people and ideas and money that it is impossible to tell the difference between the public interest and the Goldman Sachs interest.

I believe we are living through the collapse of western culture. The ruling elite, which is made up financial oligarchs, not our governments (as the media would have us believe) are coming out of hiding now. This indicates how worried they are about the reliability of the financial systems and possible interference through the power of people. Our economies do not need the financial sector to function. Less than 10% of banking investment goes into the productive economy – the majority goes on short term loans for financial market trading, and long term non-productive loans on commercial and private real estate. The financial sector has starved the productive economy of resources, stifles innovation, and is preventing us from embracing new economic systems that take into account the finite resource problem, and equitable distraction. We know this, we know we do not need the financial sector as it is currently configured. I am not saying we don't need an entity like a bank to distribute economic surpluses, but we don't need to tie up a significant proportion of our resources moving money back and forth for no productive purpose beyond enriching a small number of individuals.We know that a sensible approach to the current dilemma would include a systematic and orderly process of debt forgiveness which protects the productive economy. We know that the levels of debt – personal and private are unsustainable. What is standing in the way - financial oligarchs, the powers of corporations like Goldman Sachs, Barclays, JP Morgan, CitiBank and so on. The market makers in the financial sector are desperate to keep their system functioning and cannot wait to go through the motions of democracy. They are incapable of reform, they have corrupted our culture and there is no future with them. This is collapse – of them – not us.

Jose Tabata Rumors
Rosenthal On Nolasco, Rays, Upton, Jimenez
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports brought us another edition of Full Count today while sporting yet another fantastic bow tie. Here are some highlights..
- The Marlins could wind up trading Ricky Nolasco if they fail to get back to the .500 mark. The Rangers have shown interest in Nolasco since last winter and the Yankees could look to reunite him with manager Joe Girardi. If the Fish make such a deal, it won't be in one of their classic salary dumps, it will be instead for baseball reasons. They're looking to increase their payroll ahead of their move into a brand new stadium and they could be major players for free agents this winter.
- The Rays still could end up as sellers but right now they appear to be buyers as they were looking to get Francisco Rodriguez before the Brewers swooped in at the final hour. If Tampa Bay sells, it's doubtful that they'll move any of their starters but B.J. Upton is another story. In theory, the Nationals, Phillies, and Braves could all be potential destinations for the outfielder.
- The three teams with the best chance of meeting the Rockies' asking price for Ubaldo Jimenez are the Yankees, Tigers, and Reds. The concerns with Jimenez are that he's not back to his 2009/early 2010 form and that his velocity has dropped. One scout told Rosenthal that he's not back to his ace form yet but he's getting close.
- The first-place Pirates are after upgrades but they should also improve from within. They have a number of injured players returning such as Jose Tabata, Evan Meek, and Ross Ohlendorf. The Bucs continue to search for a bat but they're not terribly interested in the Cubs' Carlos Pena.

Upton | Carlos Pena | Chicago Cubs | Cincinnati Reds | Colorado Rockies | Detroit Tigers | Evan Meek | Francisco Rodriguez | Jose Tabata | Miami Marlins | Milwaukee Brewers | New York Yankees | Philadelphia Phillies | Pittsburgh Pirates | Ricky Nolasco | Ross Ohlendorf | Tampa Bay Rays | Texas Rangers | Ubaldo Jimenez | Washington Nationals
Quick Hits: Buchholz, Ishikawa, Tabata, Rivera
Rounding up Sunday's links, as Andre Ethier celebrates his 29th birthday….
- Jon Lester told WEEI.com's Rob Bradford that he didn't talk to Clay Buchholz about the pros and cons of signing a long-term extension before the right-hander inked a four-year pact today.
- Travis Ishikawa admitted he hoped another team would claim him when he was placed on waivers earlier this season, according to MLB.com's Chris Haft. However, now he says he's glad he's still with the Giants organization and is excited to stay on the West Coast, playing for Triple-A Fresno.
- Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette looks back at the trade that sent Xavier Nady to the Yankees. Kovacevic argues that even if three of the four players the Pirates received for Nady don't work out, Jose Tabata alone makes it a steal for Pittsburgh.
- Juan Rivera isn't off to a good start with his new team, as Mike Rutsey of the Toronto Sun writes. The Blue Jays are reportedly interested in trading Rivera, but his performance so far likely isn't helping draw any interest.
- The Indians will have some roster shuffling to do when injured players return, writes Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, who also addresses trade possibilites in a Tribe mailbag.
- Nationals infielder Alex Cora should make a good manager someday, says MLB.com's Marty Noble.

Pirates Notes: Vazquez, Tabata, Alvarez
Let's check out some Pirates-related tidbits courtesy of MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch..
- With Ramon Vazquez on the trading block, Langosch stresses that any talk of him being Texas-bound is merely conjecture at this point. Furthermore, if they do move him, they are unlikely to get much back and may have to eat some of his $2MM salary. However, Pittsburgh might be willing to move the 33-year-old for next to nothing.
- One reader asks if the Pirates are considering locking up their young prospects, like Milwaukee did with Ryan Braun or like Tampa Bay did with Evan Longoria. Langosch says that the Pirates will wait until players like Jose Tabata, Brad Lincoln, and Pedro Alvarez establish themselves in the majors to open up discussions.
- Speaking of Alvarez, Langosch expects the Pirates to hold off on bringing him up to the big leagues. Pittsburgh delayed Andrew McCutchen's promotion last season in order to give him more seasoning in the minors and, in all likelihood, to extend his time under team control.

Odds & Ends: Hudson, Red Sox, Bedard, Mets
A Super batch of links..
- In a piece for Fangraphs, Dave Cameron writes that the Twins are in the mix for the best offseason in baseball. Earlier this week, Minnesota agreed to a one-year deal with Orlando Hudson for just $5MM and appear to be close to locking up Joe Mauer.
- Even former Met Darryl Strawberry offered up a critique of the Mets' quiet offseason, writes Newsday's David Lennon. Strawberry said that the offseason "could have been better," when asked about it. Lennon's piece looks at some offseason targets that never became a reality for New York.
- Following up on yesterday's news that Bobby Kielty is converting to a pitcher, MLBTR heard from Kielty himself via email. Kielty says his ultimate goal is to be a right-handed bat off the bench and eat up some relief innings if necessary. He threw some bullpens for the Mets last season and has thrown for Oakland as well. Kielty says he reads MLBTR every day. Thanks for the support, Bobby!
- Peter Abraham has the full list of players who will be with the Red Sox in training camp this year.
- Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports that Erik Bedard seriously considered an offer from the Orioles similar to the deal he signed to return to Seattle.
- Joel Sherman of The New York Post spoke one agent about the Mets, who said "How can you have that payroll and still not have a starting catcher or first baseman, a second baseman you hate and no legitimate starters after Johan?"
- Paul Lo Duca is unlikely to accept a minor league assignment if he doesn't make the Rockies, reports Troy E. Renck of The Denver Post. Colorado signed Lo Duca to a minor league deal in January.
- Rob Biertempfel of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says that Pirates' GM Neal Huntington admitted that there are "a lot of rumblings" that prospect Jose Tabata might actually be in his mid-20's. Tabata's listed age is 21, and ESPN's Keith Law ranked him as the 57th best prospect in baseball last month. The Pirates originally acquired Tabata from the Yankees in 2008 as part of the Xavier Nady-Damaso Marte trade.

MRI On Pirates Prospect Reveals Inflammation
6:59pm: Apparently, the Pirates couldn't wait until Tuesday. Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review found out from Huntington that Tabata had the MRI today and everything looks fine.
"He does have some mild rotator cuff inflammation, but is able to return to activities as (the pain is) tolerated."
6:11pm: Highly-touted prospect Jose Tabata will have an MRI done on his right shoulder Tuesday after alerting the Pittsburgh Pirates' medical staff to some recent soreness, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
General manager Neal Huntington told Langosch that the team's medical staff does not believe there is reason for serious concern. The MRI should help identify to doctors what is causing the outfielder discomfort.
Tabata was the marquee piece in last summer's trade that sent Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte to the New York Yankees. He quickly became one of the Pirates' top prospects and has already drawn unsolicited praise from manager John Russell this spring.
Tabata, 20, is 0-for-3 with three walks this spring.
Week In Review: 7/20 – 7/26
This one will be a bit lengthy, which can be expected as the deadline approaches. Here's a review of some of the major moves and rumors of the last week:
- The Yankees acquired Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte from the Pirates for OF Jose Tabata, RHP Ross Ohlendorf, RHP Dan McCutchen and RHP Jeff Karstens . I agree with Tim that Ian Kennedy would've been a better centerpiece, but Tabata is pretty highly-touted himself. Kennedy would have made a more immediate impact, while Tabata is only 19 years old.
- The Dodgers acquired Casey Blake for minor league RHP Jon Meloan and C Carlos Santana. The Dodgers get a nice boost to their lineup without giving up too much, although Santana's putting together a very impressive season in Class-A ball.
- The Nationals sent Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks in exchange for minor league 2B Emilio Bonifacio. Rauch adds to a strong bullpen for Arizona, while Bonaficio could become a very solid leadoff hitter in the future for Washington. They may have been able to get more for Rauch, but I personally like the move, regardless.
- The Brewers acquired Ray Durham from the Giants for minor leaguers Darren Ford and Steve Hammond. Rickie Weeks has been a disappointment to an otherwise red-hot club. Can Durham provide a bit more stability? The power's gone, but he can still get on base.
- The Astros acquired Randy Wolf from the Padres for minor league pitcher Chad Reineke. This one confuses me a little bit; with all due respect, did the Astros forget they were 12.5 games out? I don't see the logic in buying on a pitcher.
- The Cardinals traded Anthony Reyes to the Indians for minor league pitcher Luis Perdoma. I don't get this one either. I feel like the Cardinals could have gotten more, despite Reyes' struggles in the past. The Indians could make this one look like a steal, in my opinion.
- The Yankees are in deep discussion with the Mariners about acquiring Jarrod Washburn. Tim cites Buster Olney and Ken Rosenthal in saying that the Mariners want a top prospect in addition to the salary dump, but the Yankees are only offering a marginal prospect. Can't say I blame them. A top prospect for an mediocre pitchers who's due an additional $14MM? Sounds like Seattle's getting greedy…
- A new, and surprising name surfaced in trade talks: Manny Ramirez. Manny has said he would waive his no-trade clause, and based on interviews, has basically said that 2008 will be his last season in Boston. I can't see Boston trading their (arguably) best hitter in the middle of a pennant race, however. I'd bet on him finishing out the season.
- Speaking of corner outfielders, the Mets need one, and they know it. Having missed out on Nady and Blake, they will likely zero in on Raul Ibanez. Ibanez makes great sense for them, and the Mariners would obviously like to rebuild. I expect this one to get done.
- There was a report that Roy Halladay came out and told the Blue Jays that he is unhappy in Toronto, which has provoked the Jays to explore their potential options. Halladay's price would have to be astronomical, I'd think. He's signed through 2010 and pitching like it's 2003 all over again. Personal speculation: I think Halladay to the Cardinals with a Colby Rasums centerpiece would make sense.
- Crisitan Guzman signed a two-year, $16MM contract extension. Guzman has revived his career after surgery following an awful 2005. I like the signing for the Nats.
- Jorge Posada could be out for the season. The Yankees are looking for catchers. In addition to the names mentioned there, they could take a shot at signing Johnny Estrada, who was DFA'ed by Washington this week. Estrada was terrible in Washington, but has put up solid offensive numbers for a catcher throughout his career.
- Brian Fuentes, Huston Street, and George Sherrill are all still potential trade pieces. Fuentes is the most likely to go, I'd say, although the Rockies are asking for quite a bit.
- Tim updated the left-handed reliever and left field markets.

Kovacevic's Latest: Pirates, Bay, Grabow
Dejan Kovacevic brings us the state of the Pirates in a nice piece in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
- As we know, the Pirates don't want to trade Jason Bay. Kovacevic writes, "'We'll need to be blown away," one team source said, referring to Bay." The Braves, Mets, Phillies, and A's are the latest to inquire.
- If the Pirates don't make any more deals, they will of course revisit the possibility in the offseason. Still, any of Bay, Jack Wilson, or John Grabow could remain long-term if the Pirates aren't offered enough any time between now and next season, or if the Pirates don't appear to be "legitimately competitive" in the first half next year.
- The Xavier Nady/Damaso Marte deal was initially reported to revolve around Phil Coke and George Kontos; however, one of those was diagnosed with a damaged labrum, seemingly Coke.
- Ross Ohlendorf is expected to join the Bucs rotation after three or four starts in Triple-A.
- A fun fact from Kovacevic: "If the Pirates could have traded Nady and Marte straight up for Jose Tabata last winter, Huntington said, 'We would have done it in a heartbeat.'"

Yankees-Pirates Deal Reconfigured
Update 1:05 pm: Several sources are reporting that once Ohlendorf and Tabata cleared physicals, the Pirates had a list of players to choose from.
The LoHud Yankees Blog reports the Xavier Nady, Damaso Marte deal has been reconfigured:
The Yankees are sending RHP Dan McCutchen, RHP Jeff Karstens, OF Jose Tabata and RHP Ross Ohlendorf to Pittsburgh for Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte.
LHP Phil Coke and RHP George Kontos are not in the deal.
Alejandro A. Leal writes for UmpBump.com. Comments? Rumors? alexo05 [at] umpbump [daught] com.

Nady, Marte Traded To Yankees
7:25pm: Ken Rosenthal confirms it: minor leaguers Ohlendorf, Coke, Kontos, and Tabata. My impression at first glance: the return is not terribly impressive for Nady and Marte. I don't like the idea of the Bucs taking Tabata as the centerpiece – there is too much projection involved with him. If Ohlendorf and Ian Kennedy could've been had, I would've opted for that.
Rosenthal also says the Yankees' talks for Jarrod Washburn are still ongoing.
7:17pm: Baseball Digest Daily says the Pirates will receive Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, and two other minor leaguers (perhaps Phil Coke and George Kontos, based on rumors). SI.com's Jon Heyman is on board with that.
A separate Pirates rumor was squashed tonight – they are not close to trading Jason Bay to the Braves.
6:57pm: Carroll says the Yankees acquired Nady and Marte. The Pirates confirmed that both players have been traded pending physicals, but haven't given details about the recipient or return.
6:46pm: MetsBlog relays an FSN Pittsburgh report that both Nady and Damaso Marte have been traded. Will Carroll says the same.
6:32pm: Xavier Nady was pulled from the Pirates' lineup tonight after one inning. No known injury.

Johan Santana Rumors
UPDATE, 12-3-07 at 12:02am: Not only will Johan veto any midseason deal, he'll veto any deal to a team other than the Yankees or Red Sox.
UPDATE, 12-2-07 at 8:30pm: Hank weighs in, reiterating the deadline. He says the third player actually isn't the sticking point. Thanks Hank!
UPDATE, 12-2-07 at 7:30pm: The Yanks' deadline on their offer, which no one is taking seriously, is for end of day Monday. Brian Cashman has given Bill Smith a list of possibilities for the third player in the deal.
UPDATE, 12-2-07 at 6:15pm: Ken Rosenthal says Santana told the Twins he won't waive his no-trade clause during the season. It's now or never. The packages the Yankees and Red Sox are offering are definitely better than two draft picks, especially since there's no guarantee one of them will be a first-round pick. I'd be surprised if he's not moved this week.
UPDATE, 12-2-07 at 1:30pm: Buster Olney is reporting that the Sox will include Ellsbury in their offer, but pull Lester out of it. Basically the Twins can have one or the other. Olney doesn't say whether Buchholz/Ellsbury is possible, but I imagine it's not. The Twins are expected to choose an offer from Boston or New York soon.
FROM 12-2-07 at 8:45am:
When we left off last night, the Twins and Yankees were still haggling over the third player in a Johan Santana trade. The Twins wanted Alan Horne or Austin Jackson, according to Jon Heyman. Now comes word from Tyler Kepner that those two are considered untouchable in the deal by the Yanks. Dellin Betances, Ian Kennedy, and Jose Tabata round out the five that they will not include as the third player.
It's said that the Yankees will turn to Dan Haren if they don't reach an agreement with the Twins today or tomorrow. The Twins still like Jacoby Ellsbury more than Phil Hughes, so they're trying to get the Red Sox to replace Coco Crisp with him in their offer.

An area family may soon have a cure for their son's debilitating neurological disorder. When Brett Brown was born, he appeared to be a normal and healthy baby boy, but by the time he was six months old, his parents began to notice that Brett was not developing as quickly as he should. Doctors initially diagnosed Brett with cerebral palsy. However, when Brett was two years old, a therapist talking with Brett's family correctly diagnosed Brett with Angelman's Syndrome, a neruo-genetic disorder.
In District 4A-6 soccer, there is a definite difference between the upper division teams — Heavener, Fort Gibson and Poteau, who without a doubt are title contenders — and the lower division teams — Hugo, Stilwell and Westville — which are mired deep in the lower division. The Hugo Buffaloes picked a bad time to roll into Costner Stadium on Wednesday as the Pirates were still upset after Tuesday night's defeat at the hands of the Heavener Wolves in double OT. Then, too, the Buffaloes were minus their starting goaltender, who didn't make grade and had to sit this game out.
In the retirement story on the front page of the Wednesday, April 18, edition of PDN it was incorrectly stated that Rob Seale and Jim Noggle farewell reception would be held today. The retirement party is scheduled from noon until 2 p.m. at the Poteau City Hall on Friday, April 27. PDN regrets this error.
