MLBTR Originals

Here's a look back at some of the analysis and reporting MLBTR's writing team produced this week..

• This week we brought you up to speed on a pair of non-tender candidates: Dodgers second baseman Ryan Theriot and Mariners second baseman Jose Lopez.
• Brandon Webb's agent emailed MLBTR to make it known that his client is seeking an incentive-based contract with a significant base salary.  The contracts of Brad Penny, Rich Harden, Ben Sheets, and Tim Hudson will be used as starting points, says Jonathan Maurer.
• This week we unfurled the "5 Surprises" series.  The Dodgers, Rockies, and D'Backs were all chosen to kick off the new feature.
• After the season the Elias Sports Bureau will label free agents as Type A, B, or leave them without a label.  MLBTR readers can keep track of how players will be designated thanks to Eddie Bajek's projected Elias rankings.
• We picked up our "Free Agent Stock Watch" series this week with examinations of Giants outfielder Pat Burrell and Orioles reliever Koji Uehara.
• Is your favorite team out of contention?  Don't worry, we got you covered.  Now you can track your team's bid for a higher draft pick on our reverse standings page.
• Tim Dierkes broke down the arbitration-eligible players for the White Sox, Indians, Tigers, Royals, and Twins.
• Oakland's Trevor Cahill could be in line to receive an extension, writes Luke Adams.  Meanwhile, Ben Nicholson-Smith says that Jon Lester's deal will be a model for Clay Buchholz's extension, if Boston decides to go that route.
• On Wednesday Tim conducted his weekly chat.
• Our look at 2011 rotations rolled on with previews of the Twins, Cardinals, Mariners, Rays, White Sox, Red Sox, Orioles, and Blue Jays.
• If you're unclear on how September trades work, we have a post explaining everything you need to know.
• Howard Megdal wrote an entertaining recap of the 1982 trade deadline.
• MLBTR readers voted on a pair of phenoms, which late-season addition will perform better, the White Sox's acquisition of Ramirez, and discussed Adrian Beltre's next contract.
