No, no, no, no, no. Killer B's ain't ready yet. I'm hearing MAYBE one might get to the bigs around mid-season. Yankees asked for Freddy Garcia's medical records, but haven't heard nothing new for a few days. I don't know what Cashman can do. Take another spin with Carl Pavano, fly down to Texas and beg Pettitte to come back, pray to god that Mark Prior hasn't lost it? We're in tight spot.

Rangers, Nationals, and "a mystery NL Central team" are fighting for Brandon Webb's services right now. Let the speculation begin.

I don't think Andy Pettitte wants to go back to New York, for some reason. It wouldn't shcok me if he decides to pitch for the Rangers, since they're a good team, it's close to home, and he won't have to deal with whatever is going on in New York. I just don't see him showing interest in the Yankees, for some reason.

I don't really know where you get this from. He's already said he's either retiring or pitching for the Yankees. Seems like he's leaning more towards retiring though.

"Realmente"?

You don't think he'd accept a deal from the Rangers if it was right? He already left New York once to pitch with the Astros, so...I wouldn't completely throw it out the window. It's already been reported (briefly) that the Rangers had contacted him, and that it infuriated the Yankees.

Anything can happen but I highly doubt it. He's already said if he pitches next year it will be with the Yankees and it'd be his last year. I just doubt he wants to spend his last year chasing a ring on a team he's never been on before. Especially when the Yankees are obviously pushing him to come back and he pretty much will get a blank check if he does decide to return.

Hmm, well I could def see the Astros or Cubs going after him out of need. He's a Kentucky kid so he could have interest in the Reds, but I dunno where he'd fit. It's not out of the question that the Brewers are going all in this season and they'd sign him as their #4 or 5 guy.

Interesting...

It was said early on that the Cubs were interested in him...so maybe it's the Cubs.

Yeah, Betances and Banuelos aren't close to ready. I could see Brackman up mid-season though. He's gonna be 25 next year so they should start pushing him some. And I think they're only looking at Prior in the bullpen.

Ahhhhh well you never know. Let's see if all the Cubs needed is a new manager. I mean let's look at the O'S and how well their second half was because they changed managers. This is baseball anything can happen.

But, yeah with the Cards hitting and now Greinke on the Brewers the Cubs are gonna have a real hard time staying in second or third.

But, like I said anything can happen. With the Mariners off season they had last year I thought they'd be shoo in's to be in at least second place. If everyone stays healthy on the Phillies and the Red Sox it is going to be a tough ride.

Brandon Webb to the Rangers. 1-year deal pending physical. The Reds were the mystery team all along.

Blue Jays and Octavio Dotel are close to a 1-year deal.

IDK if pitching in Arlington is the best thing for a pitcher trying to make it back from injury.

With some pitchers you gotta take a chance and plus it's only a 1 year contract.

That and he had that big sinker when he was in Arizona. If he can get that back, he shouldn't have too much to worry about ballpark wise.

Takashi Saito to the Brewers, one year deal. His fourth team in as many seasons.

J.C. Romero stays with the Phillies, also a one year deal.

Angels only team left going after Adrian Beltre since the Rangers bailed out due to asking price of 5-year $85 million and the need to move Michael Young to DH spot or trade him. The Angels could get Beltre cheap if nobody else joins and a few more weeks pass by to lower his value.

11 teams in the bidding war for Brian Fuentes with the asking price of at least 3-years $15 million. The Blue Jays, Rays, Rockies, Mariners, Twins, Pirates, Phillies, Brewers, Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets all are in the race to get him.

If the Red Sox get Fuentes then Papelbon is gone, sooner. I mean you guys all ready have Jenks being the 8th inning guy. I don't think Fuentes would settle for anything less then an 8th inning guy. And switching the 8th inning between Fuentes and Jenks might get a bit dicey. So if the Red Sox pick up Fuentes it is nearly 100 percent sure that they have a trade place for Paps.

I wonder what team will get him. The Jays did just get Dotel right? But would they consider him a closer? He strikes me more as an 8th inning guy. I think the Jays might go hard after him. But, I could say that about all of the teams here.

The Jays don't really need to lock up a closer for 3 years. They need to put money elsewhere and maybe find a closer within the organization. Personally a closer that eats up a lot of salary on a rebuilding team is wasteful.... but it's a sign of willing to spend some dough-ray-me, so I'm happy about that. AS LONG AS they don't turn around and say they can't sign or extend *player X* because of budget concerns.

Palmeiro still insists he never used steroids

Rafael Palmeiro is sticking to his story that a tainted vitamin shot caused his failed drug test five years ago, and hopes Hall of Fame voters will overlook the mistake and honor him for his 3,020 hits and 569 homers.

A week before the Baseball Writers Association of America announces its inductees to baseball’s Hall of Fame, Palmeiro told SI.com in a phone interview posted Wednesday that he never used performance-enhancing drugs in his 20-year career. As he asserted in 2005 after he was suspended for failing a test, Palmeiro again insisted the anabolic steroid was in a B-12 vial given to him by Baltimore Orioles teammate Miguel Tejada(notes).

You never know with those guys from the 90's and early 2000's...there's no way to know who was clean and who wasn't. I have a tough time believing Rafael Palmerio knowingly took Steroids, but that's just me.

Anyway, whether you take Steroids or not, being able to hit a 95MPH Fastball 400 Feet, or a Breaking Curve to the opposite field, takes skill, hand eye coordination, and if any of us took Steroids, it doesn't mean we will be able to go to the Major Leagues and hit 40 Home Runs.

So I believe they should vote in the guys who have the numbers, and leave it at that. What are you going to do...

You make it sound so black and white.

You leave it how it helps recover from injuries quicker, builds muscle just to name a couple things.

Guy that already have baseball skills are able with 'drugs' to take themselves to a higher level, play longer, recover faster. Those are advantages based not on God given gifts but on chemicals.

just saying...

You mention, the guy has to have the baseball skills in the first place.

If it was all about the drugs, Arnold Schwarzenegger could've played in the Majors and hit 50 Home Runs.

If Fuentes' price drops down to say 2 years, $10 million I'd LOVE for the Mets to jump in. Parnell-Fuentes-K-Rod would be a decent late inning punch.

Even better - they could give Fuentes a few chances to close out games and keep K-Rod from getting that 55 games finished option from vesting. I'm pretty sure the Players Association is gonna file a grievance if that option doesn't vest, so the Mets would need a really good excuse.
