Combining a couple of my previous article on UZR projections (now updated with UZR/150 values) and the wOBA to WAR conversion , I have created a spreadsheet to project 2010 WAR values of most FA hitters and determine how much money should be spent for the player's production for a multi-year contract. Here are the 20 top projected free agent position players: Rank Name 2010 Projected WAR Position UZR/150...

(BDD / Jonathan Blazon Illustration) Herald: The Red Sox Have Discussed Outfielders Matt Holliday and Rick Ankiel, Reliever Mike Gonzalez, and 3B Adrian Beltre with You Know Who
The Red Sox have expressed interest in four players - all Scott Boras clients - early in the hot stove season, according to Mike Silverman of The Boston Herald. Those four players would be Matt Holliday, Adrian Beltre, Mike Gonzalez, and Rick Ankiel. Silverman notes that the Sox consider Holliday and alternative to Jason Bay, should they fail to re-sign him. Gonzalez could replace Billy Wagner, although...
As of midnight, teams are square to negotiate with free agents. Third baseman Pedro Feliz, considered a fallback for the Phillies, has drawn early interest from Baltimore. Feliz, along with Adrian Beltre, heads Baltimore’s short list to replace Melvin Mora at third, according to the Baltimore Sun. While Beltre would likely require a longer, more lucrative deal, the Orioles view Feliz as a stopgap...
Trayvon Robinson, batting here, was one of three players added to the 40-man roster by the Dodgers today. View full size photo » The Dodgers today added three players to their 40-man roster, protecting them from next month's Rule 5 draft. Ivan DeJesus, Jr. , Trayvon Robinson , and Kenley Jansen were added to the roster, bringing the Dodgers' total to 32 players on the 40-man roster, heading into...
Kirby Arnold talks with Don Wakamatsu. It’s worth reading, but one sentence sticks out: But even long at-bats aren’t necessarily good at-bats. Both Jose Lopez and Adrian Beltre had at-bats when they fouled off several pitches. “There would be an 11-pitch at-bat and a lot of guys would say, ‘Hey, great at-bat. Way to battle,’” Wakamatsu [...] -- This post came from:...
Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com caught up Wednesday with Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail. Hot stove issues were discussed... MacPhail confirmed that the Orioles are "looking for corner infielders" this winter. There are some big ones (Chone Figgins, Adrian Beltre) on the market. The O's would like to re-sign Mark Hendrickson, but aren't likely to swing a deal before their...
MLB.com thinks so. That the Phillies want him and that he'd be interested in the Phillies are the easy part. What the article doesn't ask or answer is "in what role?" The Phillies have been looking for a supersub who can play many positions and not cause a dropoff in production. They would love not to have their regulars play 155 games a year and give them more meaningful rest. That would...
Last week, I mused about where Adrian Beltre, Mike Cameron and Mike Jacobs could end up. Today, I bring you two more potential fits. OMAR VIZQUEL Omar Vizquel is coming off what you could consider a career renaissance at age 42, serving as the Texas Rangers' backup infielder after rubbing shoulders with Mario Mendoza the previous year in San Francisco, where he spent four years. Vizquel saw 177 at-bats,...
A roundup of the day's Dan Uggla rumors: An NL GM tells Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald that the Marlins' top priority this offseason is trading Uggla for cheap, young players. We heard this week that the Orioles are interested in Uggla. Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun suspects that the O's will opt for a defense-first third baseman instead. Pedro Feliz, Chone Figgins and Adrian Beltre all have...
MLB.com's Todd Zolecki runs down the Phillies offseason, looking at how the club is planning to improve coming off back-to-back World Series appearances. Here's some highlights: The Phillies are looking to upgrade at third base, as we've heard before. Chone Figgins figures to be too expensive for their liking, and they'll look for a shorter, more affordable contract. Zolecki names the same possibilities...
by Ben Margot - AP Could Adrian Beltre be manning the hot corner for the Phillies next year? (AP Photo/Ben Margot) View full size photo » The 2010 Philadelphia Phillies aren't likely to be all that dissimilar from the 2009 version that came within two wins of taking home back-to-back World Series titles; 7 of the 8 starting field players return, along with the top 4 starters and much of the bullpen....
On the day Brad Mills was hired, Drayton McLane backed off earlier statements that the Astros were planning on cutting their payroll for 2010 and seemed to leave open the possibility of some winter spending. That's not going to happen. In an interview with Brian McTaggart, Wade confirmed that the Astros plan to have a lower payroll for 2010. They finished 2009 at $107 million, eighth-highest in baseball....
