There are some players in free agency who won't get as much ink as the higher-end players. No matter where they end up, Matt Holliday, Jason Bay and John Lackey will draw the most attention. But what about those middle- to low-tier free agents that figure to be in demand by many teams? Just because some players won't receive $100 million contracts -- or even $20 million -- doesn't mean they won't be...

This was pretty predictable. The guy is a great fielder, but he'll be 35, didn't hit for power in Citizens Bank Park, didn't hit all that well against lefties (and he's righthanded; the other guys in the lineup have a better excuse -- most of them are lefthanded), and had a terrible on-base percentage. A .306 OBP just can't continue to cut it for a team that expects to contend again for the World Series....

Third base position now becomes a top priority On Sunday night the Phillies announced that they would not be bringing back third baseman Pedro Feliz , declining his club option for 2010 worth $5.5 million. Instead the Phillies will buy out the remaining portion of his contract for $500,000. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. does not rule out the possibility of bringing Feliz back in 2010 as he may be...

Happy trails, Pete: Phils decline Feliz's $5 million option Per Scott Lauber from the Wilmington News-Journal . Probably a good decision by the organization. Fangraphs had Feliz providing $12.4 million in value over the past two years (on an $8.5 million contract), but nearly all of that came from his glove work, which had been slipping a bit in recent years. The nostalgic among us will remember Feliz...

Baseball players can make contributions in a number of different ways, the most obvious and talked-about of which is how they do at the plate. Defense, position, and baserunning tend to be brushed off as secondary concerns. What follows are the top and bottom 15 in the sum of these latter three values, as determined by UZR, Fangraphs' position adjustment, and Baseball Prospectus' EQBRR. Note that catchers...
