The Cubs made a meaningless signing today. They signed Joey Gathright to a 1-year deal. Hopefully this turns out like another meaningless backup outfielder signing the Cubbies made last year (Reed Johnson). Either way, here's Gathright's video resume (thanks to Bino for pointing this out):

After a week of heavy petting and no action with Jake Peavy, the Cubs made their first significant move in weeks by signing former Royals outfielder Joey Gathright to a one-year deal. As a fan, I really like the deal — Gathright is a fast, exciting player that I somehow always found a way to [...]

Dodgers sign Casey Blake for three years, $16.25MM with a $6MM 2012 club option ($1.25MM buyout, for a total guaranteed value of $17.5MM).Analysis: Seidman.I'm with Seidman in thinking this is a decent deal for LA. Unless you think he's a -10 defender (the advanced metrics have him around -5), or that he's going to decline unusually steeply, this seems like a nice contract...

Just throwing this out there. The back-up catcher and the right-fielder are guesses. Jeff Samardzija is being talked about as a starter, even in Iowa (think Sean Marshall as the #5 once Marquis is moved) so he doesn't make the list. I do expect Marshall to move into the rotation, opening ...

Chan Ho Park has been signed to a 1 year deal worth $2.5MM, with the chance to reach $5MM in incentives. The story- he was good for a good many years, then he was bad for a good many years, until bouncing back nicely in the Dodgers' bullpen last season. Ho Park wants the chance to start and it looks like he'll battle Kyle Kendrick, Carlos Carrasco, Drew Carpenter, and JA...

Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe, gives his take on the five worst pitching contracts in the game.
5A.J. Burnett, five years, $82.5 million. First of all, he has an obvious injury history. Second, he was 69-66 entering this year, which just happened to be a contract season. By the time this one is up, we're willing to bet the Yankees will have their Matt Clement.
