And Ryan Braun with 26 errors in 112 games? Holy crap! I definately don't see him at 3rd for the rest of his career.

Can you say 'outfield'?

Chipper actually would be a great choice because he was stud on both sides of the ball for a team in contention, but I think missing 3 weeks or so midseason hurt. All else equal, I'd take the guy who was in the lineup all year.

There really is no one clear-cut guy like Bonds has been in recent years, so there's bound to be some people ticked off.

There's talk about trying him in CF, he's pretty fast and he's a good athlete so it might work. But he'll probably end up in LF since Weeks might end up in Center too.

Either way, it's a good problem for the Brewers to have.

Not really a signifigant move but the Mets have signed catcher Yorvit Torreabla.

Basically signifies the end of Paul LoDuca's career with the Mets.

The Pirates declined the option on Cesar Izturis. Guess he's gonna wait to see where Jim Tracy ends up, then take his .290 OBP there.

I love that Chone got votes. Whoever did that should have his voting rights revoked.

Red Sox keep World Series MVP Lowell with three-year deal

Dodgers and Phillies offered 4 years...

I still think it's crazy we offered up 4 years. The last time Lowell played in an NL pitching park he was awful.

The Phillies, I can understand why they tried and offered up that 4th year. They have a big hole at third and I don't believe they have an internal solution.

In a hitters park he excels and he'd have plenty of protection batting behind Utley, Howard, Burrell etc.
