Balta1701 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) That and being willing to pay over slot. Until Porcello last year, did they really get a major impact at the big league level from guys they dumped money onto? Miller is the other one who comes to mind, but they dealt him.

BaseballNick Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Rangers offer Vlad a 1 year $7mil deal. I doubt there are many/any teams willing to match that offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there are many/any teams willing to match that offer. Â I sure as hell don't want him for that much. Â Crasnick is reporting that Guerrero probably won't get more than $5 million from Texas. Â Plus, Vlad isn't all that happy with the Rangers' offer. Edited January 7, 2010 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDSox Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 There goes 1 lefty potential DH for the Sox to sign.... too bad, I thought Cust could have been a good fit at the Cell. Â Â Athletics re-signed DH Jack Cust to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Â The A's non-tendered Cust last month in order to avoid paying him a substantial raise via salary arbitration and lucked into signing him back at a lower salary than he made in 2009. The 30-year-old hit .240/.356/.417 with 25 homers and 70 RBI last season while earning just $2.8 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm glad Pods is in the AL Central. We can put his numbers up against Pierre's numbers to see of KW made the right move or not. I got a feeling that Pierre will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Executives around the league are concerned about Russell Branyan's back. The 34-year-old slugged 31 homers last year, though he didn't play after August. Â did not know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 it was truly shocking how bad Betemit was on defense. Uggla's performance in the all-star game would've been a good day for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
