Is Figgins Really the Best Choice for Seattle?

I’ll be frank. I think the Mariners dropped the ball again in terms of spending money on the free agent market. Everyone knew that Figgins was going to be overpaid, but I think he was overpaid by a team that frankly needs more than another speedster to compete in the AL West with the Angels [...]

Jermaine Dye headed down I55 South to St. Louis?

Jermaine Dye has been one of the more underrated players in the last 10-15 years. He consistently produces at the plate and does it without much flair for the dramatic. That’s why I think Jermaine Dye could end up as a St. Louis Cardinal this offseason WHEN, not IF they miss out on Matt Holliday. [...]

Soriano on Chicago White Sox Wishlist?

Rafael Soriano is arguably the best free agent reliever on the market this winter. Numerous teams are going to be calling seeing what kind of contract he’s looking for, and if he’d be okay setting up again. Numerous teams make sense for Soriano to land but the question is- which ones are going to pony [...]

What Arbitration moves is your team making?

With the winter meetings just around the corner, I’m going to be releasing my top ten stories to follow throughout the best weekend of the entire winter for a baseball fan.

Question Mark

Mark Derosa, one of the more versatile players in baseball is a free agent this off-season.  He does have value to a team looking for a player that can play anywhere on the field. This could be Derosa’s last chance to get a big pay day before he retires so I don’t see him coming [...]

Vlady to the Southside?

Kenny Williams doesn’t have a ton of money to toss around this off season, but he’s one of those GM’s that can pull off some of the craziest moves no one sees coming. He’s extremely creative and I have no doubt that he’ll be able to work some of that magic. With all the press [...]

Sheets to Detroit?

One name to keep serious eye on this winter is free agent pitcher Ben Sheets. If anyone has forgotten, Sheets missed 2009 recovering from tendon surgery in his pitching forearm and yes that is not as serious as the feared Tommy John surgery. Sheets is such an interesting guy for teams to bring in because [...]

Lackey Being Fitted for Pin Stripes?

John Lackey picked a heck of an offseason to become an unrestricted free agent. Being arguably the only ace type starter on the market, it’s pretty obvious he’s going to get an AJ Burnett like package or better, the main question is gong to be….who gives it to him? There’s a lot of hype out [...]
