Lawrie to TOR, welcome to Brew Town, Shaun Marcum
The Crew addressed some pitching needs with the acquisition of Shaun Marcum.
One hates to lose a young bat like Lawrie's, but Marcum has posted a career sub-4 ERA. He did have TJ surgery in '09, but came back last year to pitch just under 200 innings. I suppose, you gotta give to receive.
I would assume he slots in ahead of Wolf & behind Yo. Solid start to the Winter Meetings for Doug.

A. Gonzalez to BOS Off
The BoSox were unable to come to a contract agreement with Adrian Gonzalez, effectively voiding the trade from SD.
Looking at the agreed upon return, Brewer fans should realize that a boon-type package will not be the return for Prince. Additionally, any team trading for the big man will probably want a contract extension in place before pulling the trigger, much like the BOS/SD case above.
It's becoming more clear (to me, at least) that the potential return of 2 high draft picks in '12 will be the return on Fielder, as I don't see many teams dealing away picks. The philosophy of most teams has changed to young players=cheap salaries.
UPDATE: Never mind...
