Possible Phillies: Vlad Guerrero, Xavier Nady, Magglio Ordonez, Or Manny Ramirez?
According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe and MLB Trade Rumors, we should not be surprised if any of these names end up in Philly. Vladimir Guerrero, Xavier Nady, Magglio Ordonez, or Manny Ramirez. As MLBTR points out, the Phillies want a right-handed bat who can pinch hit and play in the outfield when needed.

We’re only days away from the official start to spring training and while pitchers and catchers get ready to report, there are a few former stars still looking for work.
The last I heard of Vladimir Guerrero, he was holding out for a $5 million dollar contract. At this point, he might want to start considering all offers.

Manny Ramirez to Baltimore? Edwin Jackson and Other Stuff...
Why do I see Manny Ramirez with the Orioles? They seem to have an affinity for signing past-their-prime, over the hill guys. Last year, it was Vladimir Guerrero, who could still hit (albeit, without power) and didn't do much else.>>> Read More

Wrapping Up the Vladimir Guerrero Era
The Orioles made it official a couple of weeks ago and announced that they were not offering Vladimir Guerrero arbitration this winter.This was not a big surprise as Guerrero had the worst season of his career and was generally one of the most disappointing free agent signings by the O's in recent years.

Joe Girardi Talks About the New York Yankees Offense
In an article on MLB.com, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi touched on several subjects regarding the team’s offense. Primarily he mentioned the importance of the New York Yankees adding one more bat to the lineup. This is something that fans have been discussing non-stop ever since “The Trade” went down.

Baltimore Orioles: Reversal of fortune
I suppose that the marquee` moment so to speak for the Baltimore Orioles with regard to the Boston Red Sox over the course of the past five years or so was the Mother’s Day Massacre in 2007 when the O’s blew a 5-1 lead in the last of the ninth to lose to the Red Sox. Certainly there have been other big “moments” over the course of time, most of which have...

For his entire 16-year career, Guerrero has had a reputation of a guy who will swing at anything in the local area code at any pitch in the count. And while that approach isn't necessarily one you'll often...
