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

  • Phillies starter Roy Oswalt is no longer considering retirement after this season, but the Phillies probably won't exercise their end of his $16MM mutual option for 2012.  Dan Mennella examined his stock heading into free agency this winter.
  • Tim Dierkes writes that Michael Cuddyer could find three years and $30MM on the open market this winter.  If the Twins want to hang on to him they might have to offer something in the three-year, $27MM range.
  • Howard Megdal wonders if owners and GMs learn from bad contracts.
  • We took a look back at four MLBTR polls from the month of February to see how everyone did.
  • Francisco Rodriguez is gearing up for his second venture into free agency and he might seek out a one-year deal so that he can hit the open market again next year, writes Dan Mennella.
  • Mark Polishuk reviewed Moneyball to see how Michael Lewis' book fits the silver screen.
  • On Saturday, Mike Axisa rounded up the best from the web for this week's edition of Baseball Blogs Weigh In.
  • On Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith examined Boston's starting pitching options as they continue their late season slide.
  • Our GM Candidates series continued as Ben Nicholson-Smith talked to Matt Klentak who serves as the Orioles' director of baseball operations.  You can check out the entire series here.
  • If the Giants allow Jeremy Affeldt to hit free agency this offseason instead of picking up the veteran left-hander’s $5MM option for 2012, his job prospects will probably be promising.
  • Ben also examined the free agent stock of Cody Ross.
  • If you missed out on Tim Dierkes' weekly chat, you can take a look at the transcript right here.
  • The Arbitration Eligibles series rolled on with a look at the Rangers, Marlins, and Braves.
  • Jonathan Broxton has been sidelined with right arm problems since May 3rd and when he returns there’s a good chance we’ll see a different kind of pitcher.  Now, a one-year, incentive-based deal seems likely for the hurler, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith.
  • There have been seventeen $100MM+ contracts signed in free agency and we asked our readers how many they expect to be inked this winter.
  • This week we posted a handy list of links to our team Facebook, Twitter, and RSS pages and feeds.
