Week In Review

By Tim Dierkes [June 29, 2008 at 2:28pm CST]

Let's try something new - a review of the past week. The major rumors and events for June 22-28:

A major event for this website, at least - we rolled out the new design.
The A's, Rangers, and Reds are battling to sign 16 year-old Dominican righty Michel Inoa.
Ben Sheets plans to test free agency.
The Indians will make a final effort to sign C.C. Sabathia.
Shawn Chacon asked for a trade, bodyslammed his GM, and was placed on waivers.
Jayson Stark said Francisco Rodriguez is looking for at least four years and $60MM. No reliever has ever gotten even $50MM.
The Nationals are discussing a two-year extension with shortstop Cristian Guzman. They're also talking about sending Felipe Lopez to Baltimore.

Would 3 years/ 50 mil be enough to sign Sheets this off season? Who would be the main contenders to get him?

from what i have read the reds are likely to sign the number 1 position player on july 2nd ( rodiguez ) the 16 year old outfielder which probably takes them out of the running for inoa

Sheets. What an enigma. He'd even be tricky on a one year deal. I'd assume that any team that signs him to say 4 years would do so knowing that they might only see 60-70% production during that contract. But with the way pitching is, he's probably as good a gamble as anyone.

first time poster long time reader;

i think that this is a great idea because as much as i love the site and check it often, i occasionally miss items that are big news items, this will make sure that i, and everyone else, will be sure that we got all the weeks big news.

Hey Redsfan, which Rodriguez are you talking about? Yorman or Rafael? Because I've read they're into Yorman. Just checking. And for the rest of you Rangers and Reds fans whop think you'll get Inoa, get lost! No Chance that someone Billy Beane goes after this hard gets away. Sorry.
