Ken Rosenthal reported earlier today that the Mets are interested in Adam Kennedy. If the Mets hadn't already signed Cora, I would think he was being brought in as a utility player that could be made the second baseman if Castillo was moved but with Cora signed Kennedy is part of the back-up plan if Hudson goes elsewhere and they move Castillo. I like Kennedy I wanted him last year for the role Cora...

More photos » by Tony Gutierrez - AP Browse more photos » From Rosenthal : The Mets and Diamondbacks are the teams showing the most interest in free agent Adam Kennedy , major-league sources say, viewing him as a potential starter at second base. The Mets, if they traded Luis Castillo , could sign Kennedy as a less expensive option than Orlando Hudson . The Diamondbacks, who traded Felipe...

The third-best AAOP entry we received -- with an average score of 7.75 -- was My plan to turn the Mets into "WORLD PHU**IN' CHAMPTIONS" by Schmidtxc. The highlights. Really well-written (you'll notice this one as a running theme among the winners). Trades Luis Castillo for Milton Bradley . Bradley's attitude and injury history are troubling, but so are Castillo's age and declining skillset....

Twins Notes: Redmond, Mauer, Infielders, and Indianapolis I've been assuming that the Twins will let Mike Redmond depart as a free agent while making Jose Morales the backup catcher and general manager Bill Smith confirmed those plans over the weekend. Redmond was a near-perfect fit as Joe Mauer 's caddy for the past five years and plans to keep playing, but at 38 years old his skills have declined...

Just two days after he became a no-strings-attached free agent when the Tigers declined to offer him arbitration, Placido Polanco returned to his erstwhile baseball home by signing a three-year, $18 million contract with the Phillies yesterday. In my offseason blueprint , I suggested that the Twins sign Polanco to a two-year, $9 million deal. I'm not surprised that I underestimated his annual value...

by Darren Hauck - AP Felipe Lopez posted a .383 OBP this season. Can you name the Brewers who have done better? View full size photo » Yeah, I can't help it: I'm hung up on the decision not to offer arbitration to Felipe Lopez . Between the Brewers and D-Backs last year, Lopez posted a .383 OBP.

Yesterday began with a call from the Milwaukee Brewers. “Hello, Tyler. As a ticket holder in previous seasons, we thought you may be interested in a holiday 4-pack,” the woman said. Shaken from sleep, I struggled to answer, “Maybe… maybe later,” I managed. “Maybe later.” And judging by how Milwaukee handled Tuesday’s deadline to offer arbitration to...

Here's where things stand regarding the Red Sox and arbitration. Jason Bay and Billy Wagner were offered arbitration; insuring a draft pick should either of them sign elsewhere. Below is a breakdown of who did and didn't receive arbitration among players the Red Sox might be interested in. Remember, if a free agent was not offered arbitration the new team that signs them does not have to give up a...

The Brewers chose not to offer arbitration to any of their free agents, tweets Tom Hauricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The Brewers had five Type Bs in Braden Looper, David Weathers, Felipe Lopez, Jason Kendall, and Mike Cameron. A case could've been made for Lopez, but GM Doug Melvin said earlier that they didn't have a spot for him.

The fallback plan if the Red Sox cannot find a suitable shortstop is to have Dustin Pedrioa step in according to a report from ESPN Boston: "They've asked me if I think I could play shortstop," Pedroia told ESPN's Peter Gammons. "They've put it out there and I've told them I'm all for it. I can do it. I can't wait for [Terry Francona] to call me and ask, 'can you do it?' I can do it....

Maybe Omar signed Cora to such an obscene contract because he's next in line to be manager when Jerry gets canned in June. Meet the Mets Omar fired the opening shots in his offseason plan, unfortunately they involved a $2 million contract for Alex Cora (with a vesting option!) and signing backup catcher Chris Coste. The reaction to the Cora signing was almost universally negative. Adam Bernacchio points...

Some links on this Friday evening: Daniel Barbarisi of The Providence Journal talks about the Red Sox shortstop search and concludes that Marco Scutaro is their best option. The article mentions a few other possibilities, including Brewers infielder Felipe Lopez. The 30-year-old is coming off of a career year but hasn't played shortstop regularly since 2007, when he posted a UZR/150 of -12.3. In a...

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.
