The NY Post has the full list of possible free agents this offseason . The Mets have only one free agent they may have concerns about losing, and that's Delgado. Really, all decisions about 2010 flow from Delgado - they can try to stick with the hand they have and keep him, bring in another veteran for at least a stopgap, or just go younger. The first base options aren't superstars, but Adam LaRoche...

The Atlanta Braves had four of five eligible players file for free agency yesterday. First baseman Adam LaRoche , outfielder Garret Anderson , pinch hitter Greg Norton , and reliever Mike Gonzalez all filed for free agency, leaving only reliever Rafael Soriano yet to file. The two relievers, Gonzalez and Soriano, are both type-A free agents, meaning the Braves would receive two first round draft picks...

Depends on a lot of things, obviously, but what parameters would make signing him a net positive. First of all, let’s look at Adam LaRoche, the player™. LaRoche was re-acquired for Casey Kotchman at the 2009 trade deadline in the hope that he would provide some much needed power for the line-up that had been largely [...]

I think Adam LaRoche would be the perfect fit for this team at 1B, the 29 y/o left handed hitting 1B is a solid defender with a decent power stroke. LaRoche has hit 20 or more homeruns in all but his first season and in three of his six seasons he has hit 25 or more homeruns. For Citi Field his bat would be perfect, a natural gap hitter with 205 doubles in his first six seasons, the last three seasons...

If and when Tim Hudson signs an extension with the Braves, MLB.com's Mark Bowman says GM Frank Wren appears likely to shop Derek Lowe or Javier Vazquez. Moving one of the two veterans would create the financial flexibility to allow the Braves to pursue a first baseman, a closer and, possibly, an outfielder. It's a "strong possibility" that Adam LaRoche, Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano will...

Besides the Aroldis Chapman news that broke (or didn't break) tonight, we've also got some other rumor tidbits coming from the ol' beat writers. Mark Bowman and David O'Brien both agree that the Braves will likely allow Adam LaRoche to walk, with Bowman adding that Soriano and Gonzalez are also likely to go elsewhere this winter. Bowman [...]

More photos » by Kathy Willens - AP Browse more photos » I think we can officially call the 2009 season of Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz a "breakout season." For all NL right-fielders with at least 100 plate appearances, Matt Diaz led the league in batting average and on-base percentage. He was behind six other players in slugging percentage in the NL, but he was behind...

Who: First Baseman Casey Kotchman Team: Atlanta Braves Card: 2009 Topps Heritage Acquired: TTM 2/2 10/17/2009 (88 days) Comments: Though pictured as a Brave in this *fantastic* spring training photo, Casey ended up finishing his season with the Boston Red Sox. He was traded for Adam LaRoche at the trade deadline and ended up anchoring first base for the rest of the season and ended up sniffing the...

Say the Braves re-sign Adam LaRoche and do nothing else with the offense. Go into the year with McLouth, Prado, Chipper, McCann, LaRoche, Yunel, Diaz, and Church as their starting 8. Using the Bill James projections and the Baseball Musings lineup analysis tool, I get that the Braves would score 5.301 runs/game (859/season). Of course, [...]

In the midst of a tight Dodgers-Phillies game, here are some news tidbits from around the baseball world.... Before Game Five, Joe Torre said he wants to (and believes he will) be the Dodgers' manager next season, reports Mike Jensen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that Frank Wren is in a bit of a Catch-22 when it comes to re-signing Tim Hudson...

Ike Davis continues to make a name for himself, while I'd like the Mets to sign or trade for a player who would completely block Davis for next year ( Adam LaRoche), so that they wouldn't be tempted to bring him up, I think they'll do the exact opposite. I think the Mets will bring in a marginal player or re-sign Tatis. As I said yesterday if this is the route they take, my choice would be Ryan Garko....
