Balta1701 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) What's Eric Gagne's injury status? I'm pretty sure he's a free agent with the Dodgers declining his option. That would be an interesting pickup. In theory he should be able to pitch this year. But again, that's in theory, and since the moment his injuries first started cropping up he hasn't been anywhere near the same pitcher he was beforehand. It could be worth a gamble, but it depends on who else is offering him what money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'd imagine Gagne wants a shot to close. If he does, I see Cleveland and Boston all over him. If he doesn't care about that, the Sox could be a suitor for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The Phillies have signed a 2 year deal with Free Agent Third Baseman Wes Helms. Free agent Wes Helms has agreed in principle to a two-year contract with Philadelphia to be the Phillies' everyday third baseman, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports. The deal is worth approximately $5.5 million and includes an option for a third year. Abraham Nunez started 74 games at third base for the Phillies this season. David Bell was the everyday third baseman until Philadelphia traded him to Milwaukee on July 28. Nunez got the majority of the playing team after Bell was dealt. Presumably, this ends whatever speculation there was about Fields or Crede being moved to Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) The Dodgers are close to re-signing Nomah Bill Mueller has retired, and will take a job in the Dodgers front office. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see him wind up as a hitting coach somewhere someday. Backup IF Alex Cora signed a 2 year deal with the Red Sox.

Don't know why LA brought Nomar back when they have Loney who can stay healthy, wouldn't be that much of a downgrade, and makes the league minimum.

RockRaines Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The cubs have reportedly offered Jason Schmidt a 3 year 44 million dollar contract. IMO if the sign Schmidt, they are the favorites in that division. Schmidt shoudl bring 200 innings, almost 200 k's and a sub 4 ERA to the North Side.
