Fred McGriff was a better player than MCGwire and he's not even close to getting in.

Do you think adding Aubrey Huff gives the Giants enough offense to make the playoffs? He's an improvement, but they still seem a bit lacking in that department.

They have to REALLY hope their offense steps it up this year to get them into October, cause shit might be hard financially in 2011. Matt Cain has a $6.25 million club option for 2011, but Lincecum looks like he's poised to shatter the arbitration records every year until he becomes a free agent, so much so that they might not even be able to afford to keep Cain AND add more offense/whatever else they might need.

Something to look forward to next week.

Ben Sheets is gonna throw for teams at the University of Louisiana on tuesday.

Blue Jays, Cards, Rangers, Brewers, Dodgers, and Mets have been confirmed to be watching. M's and Cubs have interest.

Don't think Huff will put them over the top, but the NL West should be pretty competitive this year. Madison Bumgarner is my choice for pre-season NL ROTY.

Always had a grudge with Offerman since he played for the Sox. Most frustrating player ever. Prob my least favorite baseball player ever.

For whatever reason I seem to remember Offerman being decent with the Mets in his one-year tenure in 2005. Looked up his stats and he only batted .250 with them. My guess is he had a couple of hot weeks and then cooled down, so I just remember the hot streak.

But yeah, huge dickhead.

Jerry Hairston Jr's about to sign with the Padres for 1 year, $2 million, putting him on the same team as his brother Scott.

Padres seem obsessed with signing brothers. They also used to have Adrian/Edgar Gonzalez and Brian/Marcus Giles

No word on figures yet, but the Mariners apparently reached a multiyear agreement with King Felix

Felix might be the only player in baseball I'd even remotely consider giving a 10-year contract to.

I hope it's not just Seattle buying out his 2 arb years. Pretty sure it's going to be more years than that.

Really hoping its something along the lines of 5/75 or 6/90, give or take a few mil. That would put him ahead of Greinke and Josh Johnson's numbers, without breaking the bank too much and he'd still be set up for another big payday opportunity at age 29/30ish.

Rotation - nasty

Another year of awesome pitching and absolutely no offense. I would just walk Sandoval every AB. Giants really needed to add a bat. They should look at Damon, Dye or Jonny Gomes. Not really too many attractive options out there anymore.

Huff is a nice gamble but he was atrocious last year for two different teams.

Bengie Molina turned down the Mets' latest offer, sounds like the Mets are now saying fuck off and moving elsewhere. GOOD. Blanco and Santos are enough to get by with, IMO.

I'd like to see them sign two starters now. Omar probably won't do it though. He'll sign one and then declare the rotation set, he's too loyal to his guys to move one into the bullpen.

Molina signed with the Giants again. lol Mets again. I do, hwoever enjoy their strategy of signing every backup catcher on the market, robbing teams of necessary depth

Lincecum only asked for $13 million in arb, pretty modest, Giants lowballed him big time with 8 million. After all the hype around Lincecum being awarded like 20 million in arb, this is pretty anti-climactic. They'll probably settle at around 10 or 11 million.

So glad Molina went back to the Giants. Blanco/Santos is more than adequate, saves another $5-6 million to spend elsewhere. I think Molina wanted to stay in SF and was willing to take 1 year, and wanted 2 years and an option for anywhere else. Really happy the Mets didn't cave into those demands.

Carlos Delgado re-signed with the Blue Jays, I guess even he is willing to admit he just can't play 1B full-time. Hopefully the Mets grab Garko or Nady to platoon with Murphy.

im glad molina signed with the giants too. now posey can spend half the season in fresno and this solidifies the 6 spot and protects Huff. still would like to see the giants take a look at xavier nady, jermaine dye, rick ankiel or some sort of decent hitting OF.

With 2 years of arbitration left, you really can't compare Felix's extension to a free agent signing like Lackey. He'll also only be 28 at the end of this extension, plenty of time to sign another huge contract.

Lincecum's asking price had no right to be that much more than what Ryan Howard got in arbitration. It's also pretty much in line with what Josh Johnson gets annually on his extension.

What I like is that Felix's 2010 salary is only going to be 6.5 million, which is at least 1.5/2 million if not 3.5ish million less that what they would have had to pay him on an arbitration number. Which combined with a bit more money to theoretically spend, hopefully leads to Seattle looking at another bat and taking their chances with Ben Sheets or at the very least Washburn as a cheap backup plan.

Red Sox avoid arbitration and sign Papelbon to largest single year deal ever for a closer at 1 year, $9.35 million.

ESPN also had an interesting stats screen showing how similar Papelbon's stats are to Riveria in 1st 4 years in MLB. Biggest difference is Riveria had 3 rings compared to Papelbon's 1 ring.

Biggest differnence now is Mariano Rivera is still really good while Papelbon has tapered off.

Agree. Ever since he got hurt a few years ago, he's relying too much on his fastball that his pitching gets flat after the 1st couple of batters or he just flat out looses focus in certain games. Used to have a good 3-4 pitch types he could throw but has almost ignored them all for the fastball.

His mechanics are good but his trash talking and lack of mental preparation with pitches is hurting him in the long run.

Papelbon (all players) needs to evolve his stuff and his game to be effective or long serving. I ind Papelbon isn't the automatic that Rivera has been for so many years.

Well that will bring some consistency to a bullpen that already features stalwarts Brad Lidge and Chan Ho Park.

I feel as though Eric Gagne would do great if he signed with the Phillies. Seems like every guy they pick up turns to gold.

Joel Pineiro to the Angels. 2 years, $16 million. Awesome...really didn't want him. He screams "Dave Duncan Product"

Doug Davis to the Brewers. 1 years, $5.25 million. Again, not a guy I really wanted.

Really hope the Mets can get Sheets. Unlike the other choices he actually CAN be a #2 starter.
