MLBTR Originals: 5/8/11 – 5/15/11

Let's recap all of the original content we provided here at MLBTR over the last seven days…

• Tim Dierkes listed some potentially available relievers as well as players that could be on the market if the Twins decide to become sellers. He also published a list of 2012 free agents, arbitration records for position players, and each agency's contract haul from this winter.
• Ben Nicholson-Smith spoke to Brandon Inge about his tenure with the Tigers, as well as Alex Avila and GM Dave Dombrowski about the team's catching depth. He also looked back at all of the relievers the Rays lost this past offseason.
• Steve Adams looked back at Jose Bautista's contract extension just three months after it was signed. Bautista was also the focus of Howard Megdal's latest Jack Of All Trades post.
• Mark Polishuk evaluated the Twins' rebuilt bullpen while Ben did the same for the Padres, Rays, and Diamondbacks. Dan Mennella looked at Heath Bell as a trade candidate and I went back and re-lived the first Mike Piazza trade.
• The 2012 Contract Issues series continued with the Rockies, Athletics, Phillies, and Royals.
• This week's poll question asked about Milton Bradley's future.
• I dug up the best the blogosphere had to offer in Baseball Blogs Weigh In.
• This week's chat transcript can be found here.
• Here's a list of MLBTR's regular features.
