It's being reported that the Mets have in fact declined J.J. Putz's option, essentially buying out the reliever for 1M. I would love to keep him and actually see that 1-2 punch of Putz to K-Rod in action, but at over 9M it isn't smart business. Surprisingly Putz maybe willing...

James Kannengieser of Amazin Ave. posted a great article on Alex Cora. I couldn't agree more with James in that Cora simply doesn't bring enough to the table for what he cost. Cora has great intangibles and I'm sure he's going to be a very good coach but at 2M or more...

I've already posted on the Royals catchers, this is simply an up-date. Miguel Olivo would be a solid option for our catching vacancy but if the Royals keep him then they may need to move either Pena or Buck. The Royals have three days to decide on Olivo's option which is 3...
