Today, the Phillies came to terms with free agent 2B/3B Placido Polanco on a three year/$18 million dollar deal. On the surface, one would imagine that this deal would be good news for Adrian Beltre. You see, Beltre is thought to be the better player because of his power hitting ability...

Erik Bedard pitched as a starter for the Seattle Mariners. He is currently a free agent. The Mariners traded prospects to get Bedard, and that trade probably finished Bill Bavasi’s career with Seattle. Bedard pitched well, posting a 3.24 ERA over two seasons with great strikeout...

Over the past few weeks, I've made no secret of how much I'd like to see the Mariners sign Rich Harden. Given our roster situation and the fact that we're not trying to win now at all costs, I think Harden's risk/reward is an excellent fit, as he has the potential...

Happy birthday to Pat Putnam, who turns 56 today.
Putnam was the Rangers first round draft choice in 1975, a first baseman whose 18 homers as a rookie in 1979 stood as the most for a rookie in team history for some time.
Putnam never had as many as 18 homers again...

Personally, I don't see this as being too tough of a call.
For one thing (and the main reason), I think the odds are that, if you offer Beltre arbitration, he's going to decline it. He knows there's a market for him out there, a market that includes Boston and Philadelphia...

Last Friday, when Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik announced that Dustin Ackley would begin working out at second base, he took great pains to state that this has little to do with incumbent second baseman Jose Lopez.
