Tigers F.A Tracker: Kelly Johnson or David Dejesus?

I can’t say that I am surprised that the Detroit Tigers are looking at free agents Kelly Johnson and David Dejesus, but is it the right answer? In a report I read on Pro Rumors, they are saying that that Johnson or Dejesus is a candidate to lead off for us next year. In my free agent tracker I also have Johnson as our #1 free agent 2B option, but still would like an attempt...

All Quiet on the Cubs Front

These few weeks before spring training starts is about as dull as it gets around these parts. We're all still waiting on Cespedes, but with Jedstein and their cone of silence, it's not like we can expect many leaks. There's also the case of the musical 40-man roster chairs with the Cubs having to drop someone once they add Gerardo Concepcion. Vegas money should be on...

Impact: DeJesus Signs with the Cubs

The Cubs signed outfielder David DeJesus to a two-year deal. Here’s how the move could affect your fantasy team in 2012…   Here’s what I wrote about DeJesus in my free agent primer for The Outside Corner:   2011 was a tough season for DeJesus. He put up career lows in AVG and OBP, but some of his struggles can be explained by a thumb injury for which...

David DeJesus' Missus is a Certified Smokeshow

New Chicago Cubs President Theo Epstein has long coveted outfielder David DeJesus, a non-spectacular but solid player. Finally, after several years of trying to acquire him, Epstein inked DeJesus to a 2-year $10 million deal to become the new right fielder for the Cubs. I think I know why Theo has been so hard after David all this time, the lovely KIM DeJesus. Looks like the Cubs...

Plate Discipline: Colvin vs. DeJesus

Well, it looks like if you're gonna be a Chicago Cub any more, you better learn plate discipline. A little patience. Make the pitcher work. That kinda stuff. Tyler Colvin, he can hit a homer once in awhile, but he ain't no walker. David DeJesus on the other hand, has 359 walks in his 3797 career at-bats. Young Tyler, he's got 46 in his 581 career at-bats. If you pro Tyler's 581 at...

MLB Trade Rumors: Could Cleveland Indians Deal for David DeJesus?

Well, we’re 86 games into the 2011 season, and the Cleveland Indians are still in first place. With just three weeks left before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, they’re likely to make an upgrade or two, even if they can’t afford to make a blockbuster deal. With Shin-Soo Choo out until the end of August—if not longer—a natural place for the Indians to...

Nobody ***** With The DeJesus

(props to Jacos for the headline) The Cubs signed OF David DeJesus to a 2-year/$10 million deal with a 3rd year club option. It's actually $4.25M for the next two years with a $1.5M buyout or $6.5M in 2014. A Jim Bowden tweet indicates that the Cubs told him DeJesus will be the everyday right fielder. Dejesus will be 32 next season and played for the A's last year and had the worst...

DeJesus signs with Cubs...

Only reason I'm posting about this guy coming off the board is because there were many Mets fans who wanted him signed.  David DeJesus has signed a two year 10M contract with the Cubs.  The problem with DeJesus is that he doesn't have the typical power for the NL corners and no longer has the range to be a starting center fielder.  I think DeJesus is better suited for the AL...

According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, the Tigers will look for one this off season as they do not have any logical internal candidates.

SF Giants Rumors: Ex-Royals, DeJesus And Cabrera

Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star tells SF Giants Rumors his thoughts on a couple ex-Royals players. Before the Jonathan Sanchez trade I asked Bob his thoughts on David DeJesus, and if he thinks DeJesus would be a decent fit for the Giants.   “I could easily see him having a bounce-back year at the plate, but I don’t know if he has the range anymore to play center field...

Free Agent Stock Watch: David DeJesus

When the Athletics acquired David DeJesus last winter, the outfielder's stock was at a high. Although he appeared in only 91 games in 2010, DeJesus posted career highs in average (.318), OBP (.384), and OPS (.827), and played his usual solid corner outfield defense. Unfortunately for the A's, DeJesus has followed up that performance with perhaps the worst season of his career...

The Chicago Cubs and the Winter Meetings … Let’s Ramble about the Chicago Cubs!

So, it has been a very quiet week in baseball and for the Cubs. There really is not a lot going on. I am really not sure what to talk about. However, I will do my best to stop ending most sentences in prepositions. So, there are a lot differing opinions on the week that was in Dallas, and there will most definitely be a lot to discuss in the coming weeks. There are going to be a...

Winter meetings are just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of moves to ponder.
