You hit it right on the head, for all players.
Ron Greenawalt
They better hand Wood and Pearce their walking papers!!

With no good internal options and no chance of signing a SS of the Reyes/Rollins caliber, I don’t see it as a given that Ronny Cedeno’s option is declined. $3 million is certainly not unreasonable for a passable SS.

I agree that it’s not a given.

You’re welcome to Alex Gonzalez if ya need him.
Brandon Posa
Completely agree with james. It’s relatively surprising that most firmly believe the Bucs will automatically decline the $3 million option on ol’ Ronny-it is a VERY reasonable price tag given that his statistics can translate, or hopefully grow, into next year.

Ross Ohlendorf should be non tendered, no doubt, so should Wood and probably Pearce. Most of the relievers are on the fringe. I’d definitely pick up Cedenos option

I agree that Cedeno should be picked up, and it should be an easy call. He’s actually progressed some this year, and shortstop is one of the weakest positions around the league. When guys like Jason Bartlett and Yuni Betancourt are getting paid an upwards of 5M (Bartlett is better but still mediocre), I think Cedeno at 3M is a value. Fact is, quality shortstops don’t grow on trees, and there won’t be many guys out there who would be an upgrade.

??????? Cedeno????

Okay now, this is Cedeno we’re talking about. Ciriaco would be an upgrade in all facets of the game.
David Kaufman
I dont even think Bartlett is better….his bat is avg at best and his defense is below avg
PiratesFan
Everybody should be kept except for Ohlendorf, Wood, and Pearce
Jon Briggs
i would keep wood for his versitility on defense and the pop he can provide of the bench as a middle infielder
