K-Rod could be worth something, if he pitches well and doesn’t KO anyone.

If the Mets are as bad as most experts predict, K-Rod will be gone by the trade deadline, someone looking for bullpen help will target him as a set-up man (so his option conveniently doesn’t vest from finishing 55 games), assuming the Mets are willing to make the financials work, which I’m sure they will to get out of that 2012 option.

I don’t think the Mets are going to be an awful team. Bay, Reyes, and Beltran should have some kind of bounce back and if they release Perez then they’ll limit the embarrassing losses. That said, on paper the Braves and Phils are better teams. I kinda see the Mets as being a tease, in the race until the last month.

Who were the giants going to trade for barttlet? Outfielder?

Probably. They have a small city of outfielders already. It was probably like Shierholtz or maybe even Torres

You gotta remember that this Barlett deal was BEFORE they signed Miguel Tejada

I doubt it…the Rays already have a bajillion outfielders. They probably wanted a reliever or two.

Ya bullpen help. Rays bullpen was horrible.

“Although the Yankees and Kevin Millwood are still talking, they have “a ways to go,” ”
This makes me happy. Go get em Cleveland!

Am I the only one thinking that Bobby Jenks “stepping on anyone”s toes” would be extremely painful?

“Since the turn of the century, the piece notes, only the 2009 Yankees have won a World Series after having outspent the rest of the league the previous winter.”
Coincidentally, the 2009 Yankees team is the only Yankees team to win since the turn of the century.

I was ready to call foul on this statement until google reminded me what the Cubs spent in the 2006/2007 offseason.
