ESPN's Buster Olney on the Cubs Starlin Castro
Starlin Castro, the Cubs' exceptional shortstop prospect, won't turn 20 until March, but it appears he will have a legitimate chance to climb to the big leagues sometime next summer. "He's a big strong kid, not...

Just one month ago, I was advocating the position that the Tigers should essentially bring their 2008 lineup back intact for the 2009 campaign; but now that Dave Dombrowski has announced the team will likely cut ties with shortstop Edgar Renteria, it's obvious that at least a...

According to WFAN in New York, the Giants and Edgar Renteria have agreed to a two year deal worth 18 million dollars. Renteria might bounce back by returning to the NL, but one look at his numbers and you can tell that he is on the decline. He hit .270 and his OBP was done thirty points...

Edgar Renteria will play the rest of the season with a bone spur in his elbow, then undergo surgery. Maybe that’s why his hitting numbers are so down this season.

Whether or not you think he's being overpaid, it seems the San Francisco Giants are going to sign free-agent shortstop Edgar Renteria to a 2-year deal in the $18 million range. Fantasy baseball owners had high expectations for Renteria when he signed with the Tigers last season...

When last we spoke, I told the tale of the great Edgar Renteria acquisition. I would be remiss if I didn’t feel somewhat responsible that on that very day, Pablo Ozuna was released from his current employment.

Jair Jurrjens was acquired by the Braves after the end of last season for Edgar Renteria, and has shone brightly in Atlanta. Nobody expected he'd be the rotation ace in August. Jurrjens' success story is just starting.

Renteria still looks good to the Cardinals
Edgar Renteria's two-year, $18.5 million contract was criticized by those who believe the Giants grossly overpaid a declining player who would not have received nearly as much money from anyone else in a buyers' market. Renteria called that hogwash Wednesday....

Yunel Escobar is filling in nicely for the recently departed Edgar Renteria - both offensively and defensively. The transition may be so smooth that it reminds us of another transition between a veteran and a rookie - that of Chipper Jones stepping into Terry Pendleton's shoes.

Instead of getting younger (which would have been prudent for the post-Bonds era), the Giants continue to throw millions at over-priced veterans. First, it was signing a 38-year old Omar Vizquel (though, to the Giants credit, $5 million for a gold glove isn't too much to spend...
