Gregory Pratt Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) That division does not look like it will be "average" for long. The D-Backs and Dodgers are loaded with young talent, the Padres have a solid young pitching staff and some talent on the field, the Rockies are slowly but surely building a pitching staff. I'm not too familiar with Colorado's system, but doesn't their pitching-staff owe more to the humidor than skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From rotoworld: Man I hope the Cubs sign Meche for around $10 million. That would be worse than the Soriano signing. Meche had a 5.14 ERA away from the friendly confines of Safeco field last year.

SoxFan562004 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Lily is down to Yankees or the Cubs... looking at 10 per for 4... which is a ton of money IMO, especially when that wind is whipping out at Wrigley. So, if the Cubs sign him, get ready for the Cubune and Levine to make Lily out to be the greatest LHP in the last 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Someone will probably give these their own threads shortly, but I'll stick them here first. Bengie Molina to the Giants for 3 years, $16 million, to replace Mike Matheney who may never catch again. Mike Lieberthal signs with the Dodgers as a backup to Russel Martin. Joe Borowski signs with the Tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was arbitration eligible and could have become a Free Agent after 2007. YOU HEAR THAT JOE? Better defense and the same power with the ability to actually draw a walk. He just doesn't make contact at nearly the rate Joe does. Is Crede really worth an extra year and probably $50 million more committed than that?

YASNY Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 A Willie Harris sighting: Braves signed second baseman-outfielder Willie Harris to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. The deal was actually done weeks ago. Harris, 28, is a .238/.306/.294 hitter in 899 at-bats as a major leaguer. He can play quality defense at second base and in center field, and he walks enough that he'd be a solid bench player if he could just hit .260. Still, he'll need a big spring to make the Braves. And Hermanson: The Yankees are reviewing free agent Dustin Hermanson's medical records and could offer him a contract if they like what they see. Hermanson might not have to settle for a minor league deal, but he is looking at a pay cut from the $3 million he made last season. If he wants to pitch for a contender, the Yankees are probably his bet. However, he could have a more meaningful role elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandwhite Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 He is a good ball player, I especially like him. Still, he's due to make more than the Braves want to pay him and considering the non-tender deadline is coming up fast, I happen to think he'll be cut.
