http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/184 Recent articles about Jermaine Dye en-us The annual tradition is back for the first time! The Giants will certainly make a free agent mistake soon, and the following rankings are an attempt to determine which mistake is the likeliest. This is not for wagering purposes, though what I don't know doesn't hurt me. And I'm not really in an especially bad or cynical mood today, but grumpy and cynical is all this idea seems to evoke....

He consistently is consistent and does it without needing the attention some guys need. That’s why I think Jermaine Dye could end up as a St. Louis Cardinal this offseason WHEN not IF they miss out on Matt Holliday.

The Yankees claimed not to be one of them, but a source told the newspaper the Yanks already had asked the Sox for medical reports on Dye. The Sun-Times also said the Rangers are high on his list, although he doesn't like the idea of being a full-time DH. Other p...

Today, though, Joe Cowley, of the Chicago Sun-Times, rekindles that rumor, noting that the club has asked for Dye’s medical records (for review). “The New York [...] Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:00:45 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Yanks_looking_at_Dyes_medical_records/1668721 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Yanks_looking_at_Dyes_medical_records/1668721 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Yanks_looking_at_Dyes_medical_records/1668721 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/a/a/aa3980789566535f2183340a0e4f0cb2232d140e/small/1c.jpg With all the arbitration decisions flying around today, we haven't had time for an Odds & Ends until now.

Links to all of the lists: Baseball America; John Sickels; Baseball Prospectus; SF Dugout; the McC community list; my list I just don't trust low-A pitchers compared to supposedly fast-rising position players, so my first slot looks good now, but it's not like Bumgarner did anything to prove he wasn't worthy.

Bleah.  I'd rather have Millwood than Dye, who turns 36 in January, had an EQA of .261 last season, an EQA of .284 in 2008, and an EQA of .262 in 2007.  Oh, and who had a .179/.293/.297 line in the second half of last se...

This is coming on the heels of some especially brutal defensive seasons from Dye. From 2006-2009, here are Dye’s respective UZRs: -22.5, -21.6, [...] Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:00:41 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Jermaine_Dye_at_First_Base/1623552 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Jermaine_Dye_at_First_Base/1623552 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Jermaine_Dye_at_First_Base/1623552 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/7/c/7ca0aa6720edc67d98bdf983ea591423ebb0626c/small/57.jpg The Chicago White Sox have bought out the contract of Jermaine Dye for a little less than $1 million. As a result, Dye has become a free agent. The veteran outfielder will likely be one of the most sought after players in baseball free agency. Last year, Dye didn’t live up to expectations with the White Sox. He hit only .250 with 27 homers and 81 RBIs. In 2008, he hit .292 with 34 homers and 96 RBIs. Throughout Dye’s career he has had many ups and downs. When teams take a look at ...

Dye will get a buyout of $950,000 instead of $12 million he could have gotten in salary next season. Dye, the World Series MVP in 2005 for the White Sox, signed a two-year, $22 million extension late in the 2007 season. This year, the 35-year-old Dye batted .250 with 27 home runs and 81 RBI in 141 games.

A source familiar with the talks rejected a report in the Dayton DailyNews quoting a "major-league source close to the situation" that a deal to send Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye to Cincinnati for pitcher Homer Bailey "was done and would be announced this week.
