Kyyle23 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) 4.01 ERA in 204 innings last year. I'd say that's pretty good. Also in the NL, one less batter per 9. I dunno, I always thought he should of been better than he was, maybe thats why I am down on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Is Bedard hurt? I'm surprised he still hasn't signed anywhere. I know he is a head case, but still. The Cardinals could use one more starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Our old friend Orlando Cabrera to the Reds. m_sheldon Confirmed: #reds agree with Orlando Cabrera...one yr/$3 M w/ $3 M option for 2011 w/$1 M buyout (not sure if it's club or player option) TBrownYahoo http://twitter.com/TBrownYahoo/status/8438885824 Cabrera agrees to 1-year deal with Reds. 3 mil. Second-year option for another 3 mil. Supposedly Jonny Gomes is close to signing a minor league deal with the Reds. Jonny Gomes and the Reds are close to agreeing to a deal, according to ESPN. Yesterday, GM Walt Jocketty confirmed that the club offered a minor league deal to the 29-year-old outfielder. Gomes proved to be one of the best minor league signings of 2009, hitting .267/.338/.541 with 20 HRs in 98 games.

Of course Cabrera chose the Reds because they offered him their starting SS job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 So the A's traded Aaron Miles to the Reds for Adam Rosales and Willy Tavares I have to believe that Damon is now completely out of the A's picture given that they already have a crowded OF and are still negotiating with Gabe Gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone made a good post in the Damon thread, saying maybe ultimately he'll hold off signing until more demand is created in-season by injuries, noted weaknesses, etc. Edited February 1, 2010 by iamshack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Oakland DFA'ed Willy Taveras, but they already signed Gabe Gross, so they didn't have room for Damon anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 oh, and Ryan F. Garko signed with the Mariners, 1 year, $550k. Kotchman/Garko at 1B? That's pretty damn solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Lee and Felix is a dynamite 1-2, and then they can mix and match Snell, Rowland-Smith, Fister, and a couple others into putting together a respectable rotation. One more starter would be really nice for them. I've also really only seen Mulder connected to the Brewers this offseason, so I have to imagine he ends up there.

I thought Garland wouldve been great for the Mariners, someone who you can count on putting in alot of innings (even if they are very mediocre) just to have some stability behind the big 2. His landing with the Padres should help him though in that huge ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His landing with the Padres should help him though in that huge ballpark. It's also very possible that their plan is to just go in with Snell, Rowland-Smith, and Fister in the rotation. Not that I agree with it, but it's a definite possibility, and it has the potential to still be a pretty damn good rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
