Pineiro has had 3 good seasons in his 10 year career. Now, getting a hit 30% of the time is an accomplishment and potentially warrants 8 million a year, but I'd say having a good season 30% of the time falls a tad short of that.

I can't say I'm surprised though. I knew Piniero would be the overpay of the offseason. I'm surprised the Mets didn't lolMets again and sign him.

Angels lose Figgins, Lackey and Guererro. They gain Piniero and Matsui. Matsui is better than Vlad at this point in their careers and the loss of Figgins hurts. They're losing their ace and I doubt Piniero provides much more than number four or five starter numbers next year. His history in the AL West isn't too inspiring. Have fun looking up at Seattle (and maybe Texas) next year. Nice to see the Angels finally crumbling.

The Os might bring back Miguel Tejada to play 3b, or they are also looking at Joe Crede.

Or they could always just go right to Josh Bell from Opening Day and let him take his lumps at 3b and play Scott/Atkins/Aubrey/someone else at 1B, because they don't need whiny Tejada back and Joe Crede might play a decent 3B but he can't hit and they already give up offense at SS with Izturis.

Mets are getting Gary Matthews, Jr. from the Angels.

I was PISSED when I first heard this...but it turns out the Angels will be paying like $20 million out of the $24 million he has left. So really, they aren't spending much at all on it.

Also, though I like Angel Pagan...a lot of teams are interested in him so maybe he can be expendable in a trade for a pitcher. Who knows. If both are still there in Spring Training, they'll be competing for the Opening Day CF job.

Turns out the Mets are giving up reliever Brian Stokes.

Dunno how I feel about this move then. Stokes wasn't the best, but he was cheap and had a live fastball. He wasn't a lock for the 2010 bullpen though, and he's out of options. So, I guess it does make SOME sense. I dunno.

Let's see. So far the Mets have Francisco Rodriguez, Kelvim Escobar, Ryota Igarashi, Pedro Feliciano, and Sean Green as locks for the bullpen. That's 5. I'm also pretty sure they want to have a second lefty in there...they have some in-house options and will probably invite a vet or two to ST, so that's 6. That means Brian Stokes, Fernando Nieve, Bobby Parnell, and some other guys would be competing for the final spot.

Stokes AND Nieve are both out of options I think, so either of them will have likely been claimed with no return. So in that respect, it makes sense to get SOMETHING.

Still, GMJ played BELOW replacement-level last season. So I have no idea.

Quote:
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland Athletics prospect Grant Desme is retiring from baseball to enter the priesthood.
Desme was recently selected the 2009 Arizona Fall League MVP and was considered one of the top prospects in Oakland's system.
"We respect Grant's decision and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors," A's general manager Billy Beane said in a statement.
The 23-year-old outfielder batted .288 with 31 homers, 89 RBIs and 40 stolen bases in 131 games at Class-A Kane County and Stockton last season.
He then hit .315 with a league-leading 11 home runs and 27 RBIs in 27 games in the fall league.
Desme was a second-round pick selection in the 2007 draft after being named Big West Player of the Year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
and I thought it was bad being an Os fan.

Matthews sucks but at least the Mets aren't paying shit for him. They could have signed Reed Johnson or something and not given anything up and paid him the same thing though. Plus Reed Johnson is probably a better defender now and hits lefties while while Matthews hits no one well.

Oh well. It's the lolMets again

I'm really not all that bothered about it. I looked at Stokes' numbers and he definitely wasn't as good as I remembered him being last year...prolly cause the whole team sucked so anybody who was a remote bright spot looked better than he actually was. He was prolly just gonna get DFA'ed and claimed by someone else anyway.

Looks like the Nationals are considering trading Willingham and putting Dunn back in the outfield. That is pretty ridiculous. Dunn should be nowhere near an outfield.

I'm hoping the Mariners can pull off a Jose Lopez for Willingham trade with maybe another name or two involved and then sign Orlando Hudson. Signing Ben Sheets would be ideal (if they can afford it), if not then Washburn to a cheap contract and I think they'd be set and have a fairly legit shot at competing.

Reds sign RP Jose Arredondo a month before he's scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery. Since Arredono has only 2 years in the majors, the Reds would control him past the 2011 season.

So the Yankees got in touch with Johnny Damon and he's got "days" according to Jon Heyman to take the deal we offered him. If not, we gonna sign one of either Reed Johnson, Xavier Nady, Randy Winn, Jim Edmonds, and Jermaine Dye.

Sounds fair enough. Would finally like to get this over and done with.

Damon is the best of that class. What's up with Nady? - woulda thought he'd have been picked up early, almost a sleeper/overlooked guy that can bring some real tangibles yet not be overly high priced.

X-Man got Tommy John surgery. Went down a few games in last season. Pretty much fell into the high risk, high reward pool this offseason.

Word is that Nady WILL be ready to play in Spring Training...so more than likely ready for Opening Day as well.

I'd really love for the Mets to bring back Nady. He'd be a great righty platoon guy with Murphy, plus he can play all three OF positions.

I think the thing with Nady is that it was his second Tommy John surgery. So people really have no idea how he'll be when he comes back from it.

As for Damon, I'm guessing the Yankees offered something like 5-6M base salary. If they can get him for that it'd be great if not I'd go after Reed Johnson or Nady.

I'd be fine with Gardner in LF and Johnson getting some time out there too. The fact that Johnson could step into CF against tough lefties that Granderson won't be able to hit would be nice too. But having Damon back would make the lineup plain ridiculous. A lineup of Jeter-Damon-Tex-ARod-Granderson-Posada-Johnson-Cano-Swisher is crazy.

Noone mentioned that the Pirates signed Octavio Dotel.

Hmmm... let up and coming Matt Capps go and then sign washed up, barely-was Dotel.

GOOD THINKING!@#!@%&!%#$

3B is typically a power # position. Now Tejeda had a high BA but his power was non-exixtant most of the year. Be interesting to see if he can rebound with semi-decent power #'s.

Rockies sign Jason Giambi to a 1-year, $1.75 mil deal.

Padres sign Matt Stairs to a minor league deal and got an invite to Spring Training.

Apparently Delgado has been majorly limping everytime he plays first in the Dominican League. His bat still intrigued me, but the consensus now is he simply can't play first at this point...time to get a righty platoon partner for Murphy. Nady and Garko are the two most appealing options.

What? Johnson in CF? Have you ever watched the guy play before?
