Best And Worst Signings So Far By Tim Dierkes [December 28 at 10:07am CST] Free agent deals this offseason have totaled about $400MM so far, according to ESPN's free agent tracker. The offseason is young - by our count, almost 200 notable free agents remain unsigned. Before the signings pick up again, let's discuss the best and worst so far. Worst Signings Placido Polanco, Phillies - three years, $18MM. Where was the demand for a 34-year-old second baseman coming off a .727 OPS? What other club would've offered even one or two years at $5MM per? Brandon Lyon, Astros - three years, $15MM. Lyon's not a bad pitcher, but this commitment is excessive. He's not a high strikeout guy, and his '09 control was a career-worst. Fernando Rodney, Angels - two years, $11MM. What would Rodney have gotten without the 37 saves? I have a reliever, 33 in March, who posted a 4.40 ERA, 7.3 K/9, and 4.9 BB/9. Can I find a one-year, $2MM offer? John Grabow, Cubs - two years, $7.5MM. The Cubs are tight on payroll, but were quick to commit an above-market contract to a lefty reliever with a 5.0 BB/9 in '09. Jason Kendall, Royals, Ivan Rodriguez, Nationals - two years, $6MM. Kendall is 35, Pudge is 38, and neither topped a .700 OPS in '09. Gregg Zaun had already signed a reasonable one-year, $2.15MM deal. Alex Cora, Mets - one year, $2MM. Why did his salary hold steady despite a lousy '09? This contract isn't a franchise-killer, but comparable players could've been had at less than a million bucks. Best Signings Mike Cameron, Red Sox - two years, $15.5MM. Cameron is getting up there (37 in January), but he seems perenially undervalued as a solid defender with pop. Marco Scutaro, Red Sox - two years, $12.5MM. I saw Scutaro getting three years and $18MM, so this strikes me as a reasonable deal for the best available free agent shortstop. Nick Johnson, Yankees - one year, $5.75MM. Johnson's injury history is acknowledged by the one-year deal. The Yanks were able to add the best on-base threat of the free agent market for less than $6MM. Gregg Zaun, Brewers - one year, $2.15MM. Worse catchers received two years and $3MM salaries. Troy Glaus, Braves - one year, $2MM. I don't agree with trading Javier Vazquez to free up cash for Glaus and others, but in a vacuum I like the signing. The risk isn't much; maybe he can supply 25 homers and a solid OBP from first base. Matt Capps, Nationals - one year, $3.5MM, J.J. Putz, White Sox - one year, $3MM, Ryota Igarashi, Mets - two years, $3MM, Kelvim Escobar, Mets - one year, $1.125MM. These are the types of relief deals I respect - one-year commitments, or tiny salaries in Igarashi's case. Relievers are so volatile, any of these guys could easily outpitch Rodney, Grabow, and Lyon. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ 二筆FA約獲得不錯評價，期待新的一年，帥哥經理放完假後能送給襪迷們新年大禮... 說真的，我們的牛棚真的夠穩嗎？失血不少說... -- t a ╭◢ ═ ◣╮ ╭ ◣ ═══◢◆ ════ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ theanswer3 h n ║█ █ ╰═════╯ █ ● █ ● ◢█◣ █ █ █◥█ ◢╱◥╴║ e s ║█◣ █▌◢█◣ ◢ ◢ █◢◤ ◣ █ ◣ ◥◣◥ ◢◤ █ █ ∠\▋▆ ║ w ║◥██ ◤█▌█ █◢█ ██◣ █ █ █ ◣◥◣ ◢◤ █◣█ ║ e ║ █▌ ◥█◤ ◥◤◥ █ ◥ ◥ █ ◥ ◥█◤ ███ ◥█◤ <＜ ║ r 3╰═◢ ◤════════◥ ═══◆◤════════════════╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 112.105.24.232
