Daniel Nava Rumors
AL East Notes: Victorino, Pedroia, Pentecost, Blue Jays, ARod
Red Sox manager John Farrell says the club will start veteran Shane Victorino in right field if he's healthy, tweets Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. Farrell added that Victorino is "full go," indicating that only a setback could change those plans. With Hanley Ramirez the obvious starter in left field, that could mean Mookie Betts and Rusney Castillo will compete for the center field job. Others like Allen Craig, Jackie Bradley, Brock Holt, and Daniel Nava appear thoroughly blocked in the outfield. Here's more from the AL East.
- Dustin Pedroia is healthy and ready to go, reports Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston. My take: a healthy Pedroia means that Betts and Holt are also blocked in the infield. Should everybody remain healthy, some kind of trade looks all but inevitable. Several players like Betts, Castillo, and Holt still have options, so the club can stow some major league quality talent at Triple-A if necessary.
- The Rays lost great talent this offseason, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Executive Andrew Friedman tops the list of 13 impactful losses. His departure is mitigated by the presence of Matt Silverman. Rounding out the top five poignant losses include Ben Zobrist, Joe Maddon, Joel Peralta, and bench coach Dave Martinez.
- Blue Jays top draft pick Max Pentecost has undergone shoulder surgery, reports Ben Nicholson-Smith of SportsNet.ca. Dr. James Andrews performed the procedure. Pentecost, a catcher, is expected to resume throwing in about three months.
- The Blue Jays continue to be faced with three big questions, writes Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com. They include the identity of their closer, second baseman, and fifth starter. Brett Cecil and Aaron Sanchez are expected to compete for ninth inning duties, although Sanchez could factor in the rotation battle too. Other candidates to start include Marco Estrada and prospect Daniel Norris. Second base will probably go to Maicer Izturis, Ryan Goins, or prospect Devon Travis.
- The Yankees are right to allow beleaguered veteran Alex Rodriguez to attend camp, writes Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. It's surprising to see other writers suggest the club swallow the $61MM remaining on Rodriguez's contract without at least giving him a chance to provide some value. If he fails to remain healthy, the club can also recoup part of the money via insurance.

Players Avoiding Arbitration: Thursday
Arbitration settlements will continue to trickle in over the coming months, and we'll be tracking them in our Arbitration Tracker as well as on a daily basis in posts such as this. Here are the day's minor arb settlements, with all projections coming courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz…
- The Red Sox announced that they have avoided arbitration with outfielder Daniel Nava, and Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that Nava will receive a $1.85MM salary. Nava had filed at $2.25MM, while the team countered with a $1.3MM offer. His salary is a bit north of the $1.775MM midpoint between the two figures and just $50K shy of his $1.9MM projection. The 31-year-old Nava enjoyed a solid season at the plate last year but saw a precipitous decline in power, hitting just four homers en route to a .270/.346/.361 batting line. That represents roughly league-average production (100 OPS+), but is also a far cry from his excellent .303/.385/.445 batting line and 12 homers in 2013.

Cafardo's Latest: Cobb, Hamels, Red Sox
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe shares some news and opinions in his latest reader mailbag piece…
- The Rays aren't looking to trade Alex Cobb, as they see the right-hander as a building block piece. Cobb is under team control through the 2017 season and is only arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter; as Cafardo notes, Tampa only tends to move its stars when they get too expensive.
- Cafardo believes the Red Sox will acquire an ace-level pitcher before Opening Day. Given all of Boston's other winter moves, "it makes no sense to do all they've done…and not go after the ace" to top everything off, Cafardo writes, especially since the Sox have the prospect depth to make a trade happen and already might be over the luxury tax threshold.
- One of those potentially available aces is Cole Hamels, who the Red Sox have been connected to in rumors but "there haven't been substantiative talks lately." Cafardo speculates that Boston could be waiting for the Phillies' asking price to drop, and the Sox have already turned down one offer that would've cost them both Mookie Betts and Blake Swihart.
- Besides getting an ace pitcher, Cafardo also predicts the Red Sox will add another reliever (possibly a hard-throwing lefty) and trade one of Shane Victorino, Daniel Nava or Allen Craig before the season begins. In Craig's case, Cafardo believes the Sox won't deal him until they see if he's productive in Spring Training, as Craig is a valuable bat if healthy.

Red Sox Notes: Lester, Nava, Betts, Ross
Team chairman Tom Werner and COO Sam Kennedy have no regrets over how the Red Sox handled their extension talks with Jon Lester, WEEI.com's Alex Speier reports, even though the lack of progress led to Lester being traded to Oakland at the deadline. Kennedy felt that there wasn't anything to regret since the negotiations were amicable on both sides, though Werner wished more talks had taken place. "I don't want to go back too much, but let me just say that we expected a little more dialogue back and forth than happened. But I'll take our share of responsibility in that," Werner said. Both executives said the Sox would look to rebuild the rotation for 2015, and Kennedy hinted that the team's alleged distaste for long-term deals for pitchers in their 30's isn't necessarily as rigid as believed.
Here's some more from Fenway Park…
- Daniel Nava received some trade interest from the Giants at the July deadline, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports. This is just my speculation, but I wonder if San Francisco could pursue Nava again this offseason if Mike Morse isn't re-signed. The Tigers and Royals were also rumored to be in on Nava last summer.
- Cafardo's piece breaks down the Red Sox roster and examines who the team should consider trading. Mookie Betts, for instance, seems to be "the Red Sox prospect teams want most in a deal" according to conversations with rival scouts, yet Cafardo feels Betts' talent and versatility makes him too valuable a piece to move.
- David Ross isn't sure if he'll be back in Boston next season or even if his career could be over, the veteran catcher told reporters (including John Tomase of the Boston Herald) yesterday. Ross will be 38 on Opening Day 2015 and he's been a non-factor at the plate for the last two seasons, though his defense and ability to mentor pitchers and young players in general is greatly respected. John Farrell said Ross is under consideration to return to the Sox next year, and Ross could make sense as a veteran backup to Christian Vazquez.

Red Sox Rumors: Bogaerts, Cespedes, Cherington
Red Sox GM Ben Cherington chatted with reporters just minutes ago and it's no surprise to hear his admission that the club was not expecting Xander Bogaerts to struggle to this extent in 2014 (via Tim Britton of The Providence Journal on Twitter). Still just 21, Bogaerts has slashed .226/.293/.339 in 472 plate appearances this season. Earlier this week, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wrote that the struggles of Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. have left many around the game wondering how good each player truly is. Here's more out of Boston..
- Peter Gammons (Twitter links) cautions not to read much into waiver trade bites on Bogaerts, Clay Buchholz, Brock Holt, Joe Kelly, Yoenis Cespedes, Christian Vazquez, Burke Badenhop, Mike Napoli, Will Middlebrooks, Daniel Nava, Junichi Tazawa, and Koji Uehara.
- Cherington said that he won't be resistant to trade prospects this off-season, "for the right guy," tweets Jason Mastrodonato of The Springfield Republican. He added that the club has never been opposed to dealing prospects, but such decisions are "contextual," tweets Alex Speier of WEEI.com.
- The GM wouldn't give much on the team's interest in Rusney Castillo. "We are one of many teams interested. That's all I'll say," the GM said, according to Joe McDonald of ESPNBoston.com (on Twitter).

Cafardo On D'Backs, Red Sox, Lester, Nava
In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe looks at some of the recently suggestions put forth by Red Sox chairman Tom Werner to help make the game more marketable to young people.
"Too many people are leaving games in the sixth and seventh innings because they can't watch 3½-hour games, so they're leaving the game at the point where the game should be getting exciting," Werner said. "You wouldn't make a 3½-hour movie. The NFL makes changes almost on an annual basis. They're considering making the extra point from 35 yards rather than from the 8-yard line… I respect tradition, but I don't revere it."
Among Werner's ideas: instituting a pitch clock, limiting the number of times a batter can step out of the box, and putting a cap on the number of catcher and pitching coach visits to the mound. More from today's column..
- Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson could be on the hot seat and there has been a lot of speculation about Joe McEwing, a third base coach with the White Sox, or Mike Aldrete, the bench coach for the Cardinals. If Gibson is canned it would mark Tony La Russa's first big decision but GM Kevin Towers would also likely to have a say.
- In a chat with Cafardo, David Ross spoke glowingly of the amenities or "little things" that the Red Sox do for their players and Cafardo wonders if that could keep Jon Lester in Boston beyond this season. Lester's family was always taken care of the team's traveling secretary and while other teams can offer similar services, the consensus among players who have been multiple places is that Red Sox and Yankees are the teams that offer more to their players.
- Ross tells Cafardo that even though there have been no contract talks with the Red Sox yet, he would like to return. Boston would certainly love for him to keep working with Christian Vazquez, but Ross's recent bout with plantar fasciitis has slowed him. Ross is finishing up a two-year, 6.2MM deal.
- Daniel Nava drew interest from the Tigers and had interest from the Royals before they traded for Josh Willingham, but he has yet to be put on waivers. It's not a certainty that he'll clear and but the Red Sox will likely put him on revocable waivers later in the month to see what type of interest he'll get. The Sox' outfield looks crowded next season with Allen Craig, Jackie Bradley Jr., Shane Victorino, Yoenis Cespedes, Mookie Betts, and Brock Holt all in the mix so it makes sense to see what can be had for Nava.
- In a separate tweet, Cafardo reports Nava, Mike Napoli, Koji Uehara, and Will Middlebrooks have been placed on revocable waivers.

Royals, Tigers Interested In Daniel Nava
Though Daniel Nava has yet to be placed on waivers, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, he's already begun to draw trade interest from the Royals and Tigers as the AL Central frontrunners each search for a bat to add to their lineup (Twitter link).
The 31-year-old Nava is hitting just .248/.327/.310 this season, but he carries a significant platoon split and would likely see his overall numbers improve were he to face only right-handed pitching. Nava is a switch-hitter by trade, but his lifetime .207/.287/.300 batting line as a right-handed hitter is unimpressive, to say the least. However, he boasts a .289/.384/.422 triple-slash in his career as a left-handed hitter and is slashing .276/.360/.346 from that side of the dish in 2014. Beyond that, Defensive Runs Saved is a fan of his career work at both outfield corners. Ultimate Zone Rating doesn't like his glove in left field but has been positive regarding his work as a right fielder.
The Royals could look at Nava as a upgrade (both offensively and defensively) over veteran Raul Ibanez, who has batted a paltry .193/.233/.386 in 60 plate appearances since returning to the team. While Nava's struggles from the right side make it seem counterintuitive to suggest that he could form a platoon with Nori Aoki, Kansas City could make such an alignment work. Nava could receive the bulk of playing time against right-handed pitching because Aoki, despite being a lefty swinger, has much better career numbers versus southpaws. He's hit lefties at a .337/.410/.404 clip in 2014 and a .311/.363/.396 clip since jumping from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball to the Major Leagues.
Detroit's interest in Nava isn't entirely surprising, given the fact that Andy Dirks sustained a setback in his rehab from back surgery last week (as reported by MLB.com's Jason Beck). Dirks reportedly strained his left hamstring, and the Tigers aren't sure when exactly he will be able to get back into games. As such, Nava presents a solid option against right-handed hitters with solid corner outfield defense — a skill-set not dissimilar to that of Dirks. He could pick up some of Torii Hunter's at-bats against right-handed pitching, as the veteran outfielder has seen his numbers against right-handers decline (along with his once highly regarded defense). Hunter is hitting just .257 with a .294 OBP against righties this year, though his .438 slugging percentage and 181 isolated power mark against them are both plenty respectable.
As it stands, the Royals would have first crack at Nava on waivers, as they're a half-game behind the Tigers in what has become a surprisingly tight AL Central race. Of course, there's no guarantee that Nava would make it to either club, as he would first need to go unclaimed by the Rangers, Astros, Red Sox, Twins, White Sox, Rays, Indians, Yankees, Blue Jays and Mariners — in that order — to reach either AL Central contender. Nava will be arbitration eligible for just the first time this winter and is under control through the 2017 season, so it's certainly possible that a different AL club would have interest in claiming him. The Indians, for example, who are just five and a half games back in the division, could claim Nava simply to block their rivals from acquiring him. There'd be little risk for Cleveland, given Nava's modest $557K salary in 2014.

East Notes: Red Sox, Marlins, De La Rosa, Ayala
The injury bug has struck the Red Sox again. Mike Carp, who replaced the injured Mike Napoli at first base, under went a CT scan today and it revealed a broken foot, tweets Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal. The injury will set off a series of roster moves with Stephen Drew ready to join the club in Cleveland tomorrow. MacPherson tweets the Red Sox will place Carp on the disabled list and and recall Daniel Nava. Garin Cecchini, who made his MLB debut today when Dustin Pedroia was ejected and went 1-for-2 with a RBI double, told reporters (including Jason Mastrodonato of MassLive.com) he will have dinner with his parents and then report to Triple-A Pawtucket. Prior to the announcement of Carp's injury, the Boston Herald's Scott Lauber outlined how the Red Sox could juggle playing time with the addition of Drew.
Elsewhere in baseball's East divisions:
- The Marlins acquired right-handed reliever Bryan Morris from the Pirates earlier in the day and the team is already being criticized for the move. Fangraph's Dave Cameron opines Morris is a below replacement level pitcher and giving up the 39th pick in the draft for him (an asset worth several million dollars) is "beyond crazy" (Twitter links).
- Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio agrees with Cameron tweeting Morris is not worth past number 39 picks like Lance Lynn (Cardinals), Anthony Ranaudo (Red Sox), and Joey Gallo (Rangers).
- Marlins President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill defended the trade to reporters, including the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Juan C. Rodriguez. "We had a need," Hill said. "It was in our bullpen. We were looking for the piece that was the right fit for us in terms of controlling, not just short-term, but long-term, and [Morris] had the stuff to help our club as well."
- Hill also said the trade "is the first piece" as he attempts to strengthen the second-place Marlins. "I don't think we're finished in trying to improve our club. We're still trying to make as many improvements as we think we can to help this team."
- Alex Speier of WEEI.com chronicles the development of Red Sox right-hander Rubby De La Rosa from a prospect who had trouble harnessing his potential to the pitcher who tossed seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts Saturday night.
- Right-hander Luis Ayala, who opted out of his minor league deal with the Orioles yesterday, will pitch in Mexico, tweets MASNsports.com's Rock Kubatko.

AL East Notes: Wieters, Johnson, Drew, Cano, Nava
In yesterday's Insider-only column, ESPN's Buster Olney broke down the budget problems facing the Orioles this offseason. The team has interest in signing Chris Davis and Matt Wieters to long-term deals, but both are Scott Boras clients and each is just two years removed from free agency. According to Olney, the O's tried to strike up extension talks for Wieters in Spring Training 2013 and were met with a counter-offer in the range of Joe Mauer's eight-year, $184MM deal with the Twins. Coming off the worst offensive season of his career, the price for a Wieters extension is likely down, but that contractual demand shows that the two sides "are speaking a different languague in negotiations," as Olney puts it. More from Olney and the rest of the AL East below…
- Rival executives feel that Jim Johnson represents "the most painless cut" the Orioles could make in order to ease their payroll constrictions, Olney wrote. I agree that for a team with a tight payroll, Johnson's $10.8MM projected salary is too steep a price to pay despite his strong ground-ball and ERA numbers.
- MASNsports.com's Steve Melewski weighs in on Johnson in response to Olney's piece, writing that the decision to non-tender Johnson "would be a bombshell" that he simply cannot picture. Melewski points out that in addition to being one of the team's best arms, Johnson is a leader in the clubhouse and has the complete trust of manager Buck Showalter.
- Even after reaching an agreement to bring Brendan Ryan back into the fold in 2014, the Yankees are still pursuing free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports noted within his report on the Ryan signing. The fit seems a curious one at this point, as the Yankees seem to have bigger needs in the rotation and have already committed $12MM to Derek Jeter.
- Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger writes that the Yankees are expected to meet with Robinson Cano's camp this week. McCullough's piece also includes the highlights from a recent Brodie Van Wagenen appearance on MLB Network Radio. Van Wagenen, the CAA agent who is partnering with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports, said that Jay-Z will be "intimately involved in all areas" of Cano's contract negotiations.
- The Red Sox are likely to dismiss any trade proposals offered to acquire Daniel Nava this offseason, writes WEEI.com's Rob Bradford. As Bradford writes, Nava's ability to play either corner outfield position or even first base gives GM Ben Cherington and his staff the flexibility to cast a wide net of free agent targets. Shane Victorino could play center field with Nava taking one corner outfield spot and Carlos Beltran occupying the other, and he also keeps them from having to get into a bidding war to retain Mike Napoli, Bradford points out in a pair of hypothetical scenarios.

Quick Hits: Nava, Borbon, Giambi
Daniel Nava, whose three-run homer helped the Red Sox to a dramatic victory Saturday, has come a long way since repeatedly considering retirement, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com writes. Nava played independent-league baseball in 2007 and considered quitting before catching on with the Red Sox in 2008. Then, after playing with the Red Sox in 2010 and spending 2011 with Triple-A Pawtucket, he didn't get invited to Major League spring training in 2012, and he considered quitting again. He ended up staying, and spent much of the 2012 season with the big-league team, hitting .243/.352/.390. This year, he's an important part of the Red Sox outfield. Here are more notes from around the majors.
- Outfielder Julio Borbon had a "whirlwind day" after being claimed off waivers on Friday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat writes. After learning he'd been claimed by the Cubs, Borbon got to Milwaukee's Miller Park in the eighth inning Friday night. Manager Dale Sveum, who had been ejected, told Borbon to suit up. Borbon did, and entered the game as a pinch-runner, then ended the game when he got thrown out trying to steal. Borbon expressed excitement at being claimed by the Cubs because he's a fan of President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein. "My fiance, she's from Boston, and she knew him, and she was the first one to tell me he had done great things for the city of Boston," said Borbon. "From his background and his resume, he's on his way to doing the same thing here."
- Jason Giambi of the Indians looks forward to becoming a coach one day, but for now he's enjoying the end of his big-league career, Gene Duffey of MLB.com writes. Giambi interviewed for the Rockies' manager position last year (the job went to Walt Weiss) and has declined coaching jobs with other teams while he continues to play. "I want to enjoy this while I can," says Giambi. "Unfortunately, this game will let you know when it's time to walk away. Sometimes it's not your choice. I've been lucky enough and blessed enough to be in my 19th Major League season. And I'm going to enjoy every minute."

"Jabba!" Drawing by Wizard of Barge
Etsy seller Wizard of Barge drew this terrifying Jabba with copic markers on 9 x 12 paper.
Upcoming: Salacious Crumb Talking Plush by Underground Toys
A reader recently alerted me to this new plush from Underground Toys, who also made the excellent talking Jabba the Hutt plush I posted about a few months ago. Right now, aside from the Underground Toys Twitter and Facebook pages, the only mention I can find of it is on the Forbidden Planet site (a UK retailer). But since it's not due to come out until the end of June, I'm sure other places will be listing it sooner or later. The Jabba plush underwent some fairly big changes between the prototype and the final product, so I'm interested to see if the same will be true of this. I'd say he's pretty cute as is, although his stubby little legs seem a bit out of character:
This notebook from Japan is part of a recently released collection of Star Wars notebooks by Kokuyo. There are two sets of 5 notebooks. This one comes in a set with Boba Fett, Han Solo, R2-D2 and a stormtrooper, as you can see below. The other set has Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Yoda, Darth Vader and Chewbacca notebooks. The have 30 pages and are 179mm x 252mm (or roughly 7 x 10 inches) so they're on the small side.
All of the notebooks have a different image on the back cover: Princess Leia giving R2 the plans to the Death Star for R2-D2, Greedo for Han, Slave One for Boba Fett, Vader for the stormtrooper and Salacious Crumb for Jabba (as you can see above). They're all the same on the inside: lined with a stormtrooper on one side and R2 on the other.
The images used are the same line art images that I've seen on other products (the Jabba was used on a baseball cap made by Fresh Caps a few years ago, for example). It's always a little disappointing when licensed products reuse artwork like this, but it's probably preferable to reusing the same stock photos of the characters that we always seem to see.
When I bought these, I figured I wouldn't be returning to Japan anytime soon, but as it turns out we found a reasonably good deal on airfare, and so our whole family will be heading to Japan in June to visit my wife's family. Maybe I'll pick up some more of these.
Vintage Jabba the Hutt Pajamas by Wilker Bros. (Yellow)
I like character pajamas, since they remind me of a time in my life when things were a bit simpler and I might have worn something like this to bed. I like the ones with Jabba on them in particular because of the mismatch between the character and his place on a child's pajamas (which one might assume would normally be reserved for the likes of superheroes, rather than bloated intergalactic gangsters). So I've been trying to get my hands on these for years.
In the 5+ years I've been running this site, I've been searching eBay for Jabba items daily, and have automated searches for Jabba pajamas set up. I've posted multiple requests on Star Wars forums and asked around to people "in the know." And yet the only things I was able to find during that entire time were one used pajama top (no bottoms) and one used robe. Finding anything in the package seemed like a pipe dream. There don't seem to be all that many people who actually want to collect the Return of the Jedi pajamas, so they're not particularly valuable, but if my own experience is any indication, these are actually more rare than even the rarest of production Star Wars toys.
That's why I was so excited to see these pop up on eBay recently. Luckily, I was able to negotiate a direct sale with the seller. Interestingly, I can actually trace the chain of ownership of this particular item, because someone I knew contacted me to tell me that they originally sold it to the person I bought it from! That person acquired it from an auction that Lucasfilm ran when they were purging their archives of licensing samples. That means that this was apparently one of a group originally supplied by Wilker Bros. to Lucasfilm as examples of their product. That's kind of cool, and would explain how it remained in the package all this time, as it was sitting in a Lucasfilm vault until a few years ago.
This set is white and yellow, and has Lando in his skiff guard disguise standing next to Jabba. (There are two "Return of the Jedi" logos, but the lower one is on the plastic of the packaging and not the pajamas themselves.) The pajama top I linked to above just has Jabba on his own, and also has a white and blue color scheme, so there are actually two variations of Jabba pajamas out there. I'd love to get an example of that in the package as well — I guess the search continues! I also wonder if there was a yellow version of the robe made.
1/6 Scale R2-D2 Figure by Sideshow Collectibles
Sideshow's 1/6 scale Star Wars figures were one of the things that got me started collecting a few years ago. When I was just starting out, I was able to pick up a fair number of them second hand for very reasonable prices — $40 in many cases, and as cheap as $19.77 for Bib Fortuna. Things in the 1/6 scale figure market have changed quite a bit since then, with many companies shifting to the higher end of the market, and the price of the average figure exceeding $200. As the prices skyrocketed, my interest in 1/6 scale figures dwindled. I did buy some of the earlier (non-Star Wars) Hot Toys releases, but in the end it became impossible to justify the prices, even if the quality was considerably better. Now the only 1/6 scale figures I buy are things that will work with my 1/6 scale Jabba's Palace display.
Of course one reason that Sideshow was able to put out so many inexpensive figures years ago was that they concentrated mostly on humanoid characters like Jedi that they could make using their standard action figure body. They stuck with that tried-and-true formula for a long time, which is one reason why we're only getting an R2-D2 — arguably one of the most important characters in the films and certainly a fan favorite — nearly 10 years since Sideshow started making Star Wars figures. They needed to engineer his body from scratch, and that's no mean feat — especially if you want to include a lot of features like opening hatches, etc.
They definitely didn't skimp on the features or accessories with this little guy. R2 has a retractible third leg and quite a number of opening panels on his body and his dome, plus he has LED lights that are activated with a touch-sensitive panel on his dome. (This is a cool idea, but you'll find yourself accidentally activating the lights a lot as you handle the figure.)
He has a couple of sensors that pop up from the dome, and I have to give Sideshow credit for making them actually pop up and go back in, rather than being a separate piece that you attach.
You get also Luke's lightsaber, which fits into a space on the dome, and has a magnet in the end that you can use to open some of the panels. You also get a tiny restraining bolt. It attaches via a magnet, so you can put it several places on the body.
You get a number of different arms that can attach various places. This is the exclusive version, so apparently you get two or three additional arms than the regular release, although I'm not positive which those are.
When I was opening up the figure, I accidentally dropped the contents of the accessory tray on the floor on top of some open cardboard boxes filled with random junk, and it took me at least 15 minutes to locate the restraining bolt…
You also get his Jabba's Sail Barge drink-serving tray and arm. The individual drinks are removable and the arm is articulated and includes some clear hoses. It's really pretty impressive. I probably wouldn't have bought the figure without it.
Finally, you also get the table from Obi-wan's house on Tatooine, and a little hologram of Leia. It slots into the table and lights up with a press of a button, but I don't have any shots of it because I forgot.
Above, you can see a comparison of the Sideshow figure on the right with the Hasbro FAO Schwartz-exlusive figure on the left. As you can see, even though they are both ostensively 1/6 scale, there's quite a difference in size. I believe Sideshow's is closer to being accurate. Lots of companies have had trouble correctly sizing R2-D2 for some reason. I used the Hasbro figure in my Jabba's Palace display up until now, but will be swapping it out for the Sideshow version.
Overall, I'm a lot more impressed with this figure than I thought I would be. At $150, he's not cheap but with all the accessories he seems like a decent value. There are a few problems, though. The thin hatches and doors make the figure feel sort of brittle and fragile. On my figure, the two long vertical doors on the left and right of his body won't open using the magnetic lightsaber, so you have to pry them open with a fingernail. Sometimes they pop off. Speaking of the lightsaber, it's supposed to fit inside his dome and pop up, but it just doesn't work well at all. Still, these are relatively minor issues and not deal-breakers by any means.
Video: Slimy Piece of Worm-Ridden Filth – Life Inside Jabba the Hutt
Apologies for the lack of updates recently — literally every single member of my family has been sick in the last week or two and I personally feel like Jabba's underside right about now. But I thought I should share this wonderful mini-documentary about the what it was like for the people inside in the Jabba the Hutt puppet in Return of the Jedi. It features friend of the site Toby Philpott very prominently and is a lot of fun to watch. There was some footage I don't think I had ever seen before. Check it out below, and click here for more info.
"Jabba in Adidas" Canvas Print by Duncan Mattocks
I first posted about the artist Duncan Mattocks way back in 2011, when he released a version of this painting to commemorate the release of the Star Wars-themed Adidas shoes (such as these Jabba the Hutt shoes) in Australia. That painting was sold, but later in 2014 he painted the same theme again, this time adding a lot more detail. The second version is just fantastic, and one of the best paintings of Jabba I've ever seen. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the original, but he told me that it would eventually be offered as a print, and that finally came true recently. You can buy art prints, canvas prints, and even things like tote bags and iPhone cases with this image on it through the Society6 website.
It turned out that the larger art prints weren't that much cheaper than the larger stretched canvases, and when you consider that you don't need a frame for a stretched canvas, it seemed like the better deal. I went with the largest one available: 24″ x 18″. It's quite nice looking — even my wife was impressed!

What should soapstone be finished to?
We are having Anasazi soapstone installed in a few weeks. It's not very common here, but the fabricator we're using has done a few soapstone jobs. Is there a certain finish the soapstone should be sanded to? I think they're planning to just cut as needed, but keep the top the way it comes from Dorado. Is that right or should there be sanding of the top too?
Call Dorado.
I wouldn't rely solely on the fabricator's opinion.
After reading several threads about SS surfaces not done right, I called the company who imports the one I am getting and they told me to use 80-100 grit for the surface to be "user-friendly".
Several folks here recommended "Florida Joshua" as a great source of info but IDK if he would consult on a stone that is not "his".

The hotel's location is quite central, so provides easy access to Bergen's restaurants, shops, and museums. It's all within a 5-10 minute walk.

The Gray-zone of malware detection in Android OS
Does the title of this blog post have a mysterious meaning? Not exactly.
In this first part about the gray-zone of Android malware detections, I will introduce the Android:SecApk, a detection regarding the protection that the App Shield (Bangcle) offers to Android applications (.apk). This detection has a big sample set that is still growing. Some SecApk wrapped samples that existed or still exist in the Google Play Store and third party stores, can be seen in the table below.
Name \ Info
\ PUP – An application to promote a specific movie. Potentially unwanted because of the extended permissions that was requested.
Current Status: Removed from Google Play
\PUP – A game that have potentially unwanted permissions that they can drive to loss of private personal info.
\PUP – A screensaver application that has permissions unrelated with the purpose of the app.
\Pup – This application is a tennis game. Potentially unwanted because of the extended permissions that was requested.
\Malware – This app steal personal data and SMS messages from the user.
The App Shield is an online service that, after a submission of an .apk, encrypts it and adds some layers of protection. The procedure of the encryption and protection of the apk will be discussed with more detail during the course of the second part of this blog post.
Starting with the submission process, a clean app named AvstTest.apk uploaded to the service. The exported .apk was renamed as AvstTest[SecApk].apk. In addition, apktool and dex2jar used accordingly to decode the .apk resources and convert the '.dex' files to '.jar'.
Pretty women. Which one will infect you?
Malware which opens pictures of attractive women to entice its victims has been around for some time. Last month there were more than usual, so I decided to research malware that pretends to be a regular picture, and the results are pretty interesting.
We looked for executable samples with two distinct characteristics: 1. .jpg in their name, and 2. no older than the last three months. About 6,000 unique files which matched this criteria were found. From these samples, we noticed that pretending to be an image is not a family specific criteria but we identified that Win32:Zbot is represented more than other malware e.g. MSIL:Bladabindi-EV, Win32:Banker-JXB,BV:Bicololo-CY, etc.
The important message is that most of these samples are distributed by scams which are sent by email or posted on social media sites. An example of an email scam is pictures below. If you are interested in what the social media scam looks like and how to protect yourself, you should read one of our previous blog posts.
Fake Korean bank applications for Android – Pt 3
Recently, we discovered an account on GitHub, a service for software development projects, that has interesting contents. The account contains several projects; one of the latest ones is called Banks, and it has interesting source codes. The account contains information like user name, photo, and email address, but we cannot tell who the guy in the picture is. He might not be related to the contents at all, it could be a fake picture, fake name, or simply his account may have been hacked, his identity stolen, and the Banks repository created by someone else without his consent. In this blog post, we will explore the source codes in detail.
When we downloaded the repository, we found several directories – GoogleService and fake applications imitating mobile applications of five major Korean banks – NH Bank, Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, ShinHan Bank and Woori Bank.
We previously published two blog posts with analyses of the above mentioned fake applications.
When we look at GitHub statistics, and Punchcard tab, it tells us what time the creators were most active. From the chart below you can see, that Saturday mornings and evenings and Sunday evenings were the most active times of comments of new versions. It seems that authors of this application do the development as a weekend job. At the time of writing this blogpost, the last update of fake bank applications was in the beginning of January 2014.
This is not the first attack against users of Korean banks. About a year ago, we published this analysis.
Github, the web-based hosting service for software development projects, offers a lot of interesting contents, which depending on its settings can be later found and accessed by virtually anyone, including Google robots. We managed to find the above mentioned repository by simply Googling the strings which occurred in a malicious Android application.
The author would like to thank to Peter Kalnai and David Fiser for help and consultations related to this analysis.

Google Play: Whats the newest threat on the official Android market?
Official app stores are the primary sources to finding and downloading apps. Experts advise users to stay within the official app stores as they are approved ecosystems, which are widely recognized as safe. But are these sources really trustworthy? Some experts, however, claim that "Android malware is non-existent and security companies just try to scare us. Keep calm and don't worry." So which is it?
We've already blogged about plenty of threats that sneak onto your device from trusted sources, but here we have a really fresh one, one that is still undetected by other security vendors. An Application called Cámara Visión Nocturna (package name: com.loriapps.nightcamera.apk), which is still available in the Google Play Store as I am writing this post, is something you definitely don't want to have on your Android device.
Starting with the application's permissions you might notice there are some unusual requests for an app that should be able to work only using your camera.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
Fake Korean bank applications for Android – part 2
In February, we looked at the first part of the fake Korean bank application analysis along with Android:Tramp (TRAck My Phone malicious Android application), which uses it. In this blogpost, we will look at another two Android malware families which supposedly utilize the same bunch of fake Korean bank applications. At the end of this article, we will discuss the origin of malware creators.
Analysis of Android:AgentSpy
It is interesting to search for references of bank applications package names – KR_HNBank, KR_KBBank, KR_NHBank, KR_SHBank, KR_WRBank. One reference goes to a malicious application called Android:AgentSpy. The infection vector of this application was described by Symantec, contagio mobile and Alyac. We will not delve into details, we will just mention that the malicious application is pushed to a connected mobile phone via ADB.EXE (Android Debug Bridge). The uploaded malicious file is called AV_cdk.apk.
Android:AgentSpy contains activity MainActivity and several receivers and service CoreService.
Monitors android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED and android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT and if received, starts CoreService. It also monitors attempts to add or remove packages – android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED and android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED.
1) Calls regularly home and reports available connection types (wifi, net, wap), IMSI, installed bank apps
2) Regularly polls C&C and responds to the following commands
sendsms – sends SMS to a given mobile number
issms – whether to steal received SMS or not
iscall – whether to block outgoing call
contact – steals contact information and upload them to C&C
apps – list of installed bank apps
changeapp – replaces original bank applications with fake bank applications
move – changes C&C server
PhoneListener receiver
Moniors new outgoing calls. If android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL is received, information about the outgoing call is sent to C&C.
Config class
Contains C&C URL, name of bank packages (String array bank), name of fake bank packages (String array apkNames). It also contains reference to conf.ini configuration file.
Analysis of Android:Telman
One more Android malware family, which uses fake bank applications is called Android:Telman. Similarly to Android:Tramp and Android:AgentSpy, it checks for installed packages of the above mentioned banks. Read more…
Fake Korean bank applications for Android – PT 1
About a year ago, we published this analysis about a pharming attack against Korean bank customers. The banks targeted by cybercriminals included NH Bank, Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, ShinHan Bank, and Woori Bank. With the rise of Android-powered devices, these attacks now occur not only on the Windows platform, but also on the Android platform. In this blogpost we will look at a fake bank application and analyze several malware families which supposedly utilize them.
Original bank application
We will show just one bank application for brevity. For other banks the scenario is similar. The real Hana Bank application can be downloaded from Google Play. It has the following layout and background.
Research buzz: Undercover technology
Question of the week: What is the antivirus setting called DeepScreen?
DeepScreen is a new technology inside avast! Antivirus 2014. When you are about to run a suspicious program which is not yet known to the other core antivirus technologies, DeepScreen is invoked. Its task is to simply distinguish between good and bad software. Although it seems obvious and simple, it is not.
How DeepScreen uses The Force for good
This (magic) technology is served by two software components (the Jedi, if you will) which work hand-in-hand. One of them is well known from the past: The avast! Sandbox.
When a file is "DeepScreened," it is actually run in the Sandbox, which is mainly responsible for keeping things isolated while watching for various high-level events and behavior of the program running. For example, it monitors the system call invocation and overall behavior of the program which is being executed. This seems to be just enough to distinguish between the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force, but unfortunately, it is not that simple.
Firstly, how can you tell good and bad behavior apart? There are plenty of legitimate software products that use "weird" techniques to protect themselves. On the other hand, there is a bunch of malware samples that look innocent and behave well.
Secondly, malware is used to hiding away from the vigilant eyes of the Sandbox. The most common and powerful technique is encryption. In fact, there are more ways of encrypting and packing these well - known bad guys and rendering them undetectable than there are distinct malware samples.
SafeMachine: The new Jedi Order
Now, let me introduce you to our new good guy: SafeMachine 2, a dynamic binary instrumentation tool and generic unpacker. Yes, a real Jedi Knight!
With the latest version of avast! Antivirus 2014, this technology is fully involved in fighting the bad guys. Whenever DeepScreen runs something in the Sandbox, it also performs binary instrumentation of the process.
Malformed FileZilla FTP client with login stealer
Beware of malformed FileZilla FTP client versions 3.7.3 and 3.5.3. We have noticed an increased presence of these malware versions of famous open source FTP clients.
The first suspicious signs are bogus download URLs. As you can see, the installer is mostly hosted on hacked websites with fake content (for example texts and user comments are represented by images.)
Malware installer GUI is almost identical to the official version. The only slight difference is version of NullSoft installer where malware uses 2.46.3-Unicode and the official installer uses v2.45-Unicode. All other elements like texts, buttons, icons and images are the same.
The installed malware FTP client looks like the official version and it is fully functional! You can't find any suspicious behavior, entries in the system registry, communication or changes in application GUI.
The only differences that can be seen at first glance are smaller filesize of filezilla.exe (~6,8 MB), 2 dll libraries ibgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll (not included in the official version) and information in "About FileZilla" window indicates the use of older SQLite/GnuTLS versions. Any attempt to update the application fails, which is most likely a protection to prevent overwriting of malware binaries.
Win32/64:Blackbeard & Pigeon: Stealthiness techniques in 64-bit Windows, Part 2
Last week we promised to explain in detail how the "Blackbeard" Trojan infiltrates and hide itself in a victim's system, especially on its 64-bit variant. Everything described in this blogpost happens just before Pigeon (clickbot payload) gets downloaded and executed. The most interesting aspects are the way it bypasses the Windows' User Access Control (UAC) security feature and switches the run of 32-bit code of the Downloader to 64-bit code of the Payload. And finally, how the persistence is achieved.
From 32-bit Loader to 64-bit Payload
As almost all other malware, this downloader is encapsulated with a cryptor. After removing the first layer cryptor, we can see that the downloader is written in a robust way. The same code can be run under either a 32-bit or 64-bit environment, which the code itself decides on the fly based on the entrypoint of the unpacked layer. Authors can therefore encapsulate their downloader in either a 32-bit or 64-bit cryptor and it will get executed well in both environments.
Win32/64:Blackbeard & Pigeon: Stealthiness techniques in 64-bit Windows, Part 1
At the turn of the year we started to observe a Trojan, not much discussed previously (with a brand new final payload). It has many interesting aspects: It possesses a complex structure containing both 32-bit and 64-bit code; it achieves its persistence with highly invasive methods; and it is robust enough to contain various payloads/functionalites.
Evolution of Blackbeard
Confronting this threat for the first time, we wondered about its classification. Using AVAST's Malware Similarity Search, we found an old sample (the TimeStamp said "02 / 20 / 12 @ 3:30:55am UTC") in the malware database that shared the threat's structure of PE header. Moreover, it also contained debug info with a string "Blackbeard," so we decided to dub it like that.
The development of the code evolved in time. We can connect a part of the infection chain of this Trojan with the threat called Win32/64:Viknok. For both the historic and the current variant of Blackbeard, the complexity of the structure is sketched on this scheme:

Sharing your desktop with other users is becoming an increasingly common function for workplaces, tech support desks and tutors.
Screen Stream is another effort to make that process increasingly easier and it's not a bad little package. Best of all, unlike some similar programs, it does not require any prior installation to use. One of the main advantages is that you can open it directly with whatever internet browser you use. In addition, it's a great tool for video conferencing because it also supports audio streaming so others can hear what you are saying. Another plus is that the program is totally free which is refreshing when some companies are starting to charge for this kind of service via dedicated servers. This desktop screen sharing program is free. It used to come bundled with the developer's telephone conferencing suite but it's now a standalone program in it's own right. On the minus side, there is a delay when connecting and this will also affect the sharing of screens making it slow and sluggish to use.
For a free and simple desktop sharer with no installation required, this is an impressive package nevertheless.

MagicSpells is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that creates magic spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. However, instead of just giving them access to boring commands, they instead get more interesting spells. Each spell can be configured in many ways:
- Reagent costs (the cost of using the spell, including items, mana, health, hunger, experience, and item durability)
- Cooldowns (the amount of time a player must wait between uses)
- Durations (how long certain effects last)
- Ranges (how far away spells can be used from their target)
- Many more options, depending on the spell
Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a configurable wand item, or both. It's also possible to have them triggered from other actions the player may take. It's all customizable.
Before a player can cast a spell, they must already know it. There are several ways a player can learn a spell:
- Taught with the teach spell
- Learned from a spellbook
- Learned from a tome
- Gained from a grant permission
- Purchased from a shop
- Being a server op (they know all spells) For example, a server op can teach Bob the blink spell by typing: ''/cast teach bob blink''.
Once a spell is learned, it can be cast either by using the ''/cast'' command or by using a wand item. Now that Bob knows the blink spell, he can either cast it by command, by typing ''/cast blink'', or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.
If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.
If mana is enabled, a player can use the ''/mana'' command to see how much mana they currently have. Mana can also be configured so it is displayed on the experience bar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Help me! Why isn't it working?
If - after reading through the information available on this website - you can't figure out why something isn't working, please take the time to submit a proper help request. You can post your request in the MagicSpells forum. You should provide the following information:
- The CraftBukkit version you're using.
- The MagicSpells version you're using.
- Which permissions plugin (if any) you are using.
- The error in the console, if there is one.
- Your config file(s). Please don't put them directly into the post, use a service like http://pastebin.com and just post the link here.
But I need help urgently!
You can try joining the IRC channel #magicspells on EsperNet.
It says I need reagents whenever I cast a spell! Where do I get reagents?
One of the main ideas behind this plugin is to give players cool abilities, but with a cost. The reagents are the spell's cost. This can be configured in the config.yml file individually for every spell. The config option name is "cost". You can also give yourself the magicspells.noreagents permission node.
Why can't my players cast spells? Why does it say "You cannot cast that spell right now" when I try to cast any spell?
Please make sure your permissions are all set up correctly. Look at the permission page for more information. This is usually caused when you are missing magicspells.cast permissions.
Why can't I target players with spells?
There are two main reasons this occurs. Most targetable spells have a target-players option that usually defaults to false. You will need to change this to true to be able to target players with spells. Also make sure your players don't have the magicspells.notarget permission node.
Why don't temporary permissions work with WorldEdit/WorldGuard/CommandBook?
Open the wepif.yml file in your server's root folder. In the section under resolvers, remove all of the entries except DinnerPermsResolver. Then restart your server and see if it works now.
I have a great spell idea! Will you add it?
Please tell me about it by posting in the spell request forum! I can't guarantee that I'll make it, but if it's a feasible idea, I'll definitely consider it. I'm always looking for new spell ideas. Note that I may not respond directly to your idea, but I always read the suggestions.
I know some Java, can I write my own spells?
Yes, you can! Please look at this custom spell creation guide to learn how.
I've found a bug! What do I do?
Please submit a ticket! Please include your CraftBukkit build number, any error in the console, the situation that caused the error (if known), and if you think it's applicable, the list of plugins you use.

Dear BigBuilder, A creeper face would be under spell effects, meaning it would be a fireworks effect. It should be something like this, also note that you should have a main spell that does something else, if you do not want something else, then simply use an Instant spell that does not affect people:
effects: 1: position: caster effect: fireworks flicker: true trail: true type: 3 colors: (This is where you put the Hexadecimal for the Color, I would go to paletton.com to choose the color, an example for red would be: FF0000) fade-colors: (Same thing as colors, I would make it the same.)
