Obviously this doesn't break the bank or set records or anything...but even Randy Choate--a 37 year old with a 4.02 career ERA in 309 1/3 IP--got 3 years, $7.5 million.

Wonder if Mike Morse can play 3B?

Joe Blanton to the Angels.

Jeff Francis back to the Rockies.

Andrew Cashner hurt his thumb in a hunting accident--lacerated a tendon cutting meat.  3 month recovery time, apparently.

2 years, $15 million for Blanton.  Wow...I know I would take Baker over him, and probably Feldman too.  The Cubs' two signings look better and better every day.

Phillies have traded for Ben Revere.

Now I'm really starting to wonder where Bourn is going to get his money, especially if the Mariners sign Hamilton.

This would be almost as bad as Yuniesky Bentancourt if we have to resort to this.
