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.

There is a really good interview with Brian Butterfield on Baseball Prospectus . I would have liked a question about Edwin Encarnacion fielding, what he has to work on and if Butterfield thinks he can become a good fielding 3B, but it's a really nice talk. I'll copy in a couple of the questions but go read the full thing. DL: Do you ever look at defensive metrics to see if they match what your eyes...

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon has the latest on the Reds' offseason plans: GM Walt Jocketty says the team won't be very active on the free agent market. The Reds won't set a payroll until next month, but they won't be spending on big-name free agents. That probably includes free agent shortstop Marco Scutaro, who would fit the team's needs. The Reds don't plan on offering free agent pitcher Kip Wells a major...

Marco Scutaro figures to be a popular target this offseason (his agent says teams have expressed interest in him at three infield positions), but Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com say that he's willing to stay in Toronto. "He definitely hasn't closed the door on Toronto at all," (agent Peter) Greenberg said. The Jays offered Scutaro a contract extension during the season,...

I’m beginning to agree with Darren at Sox Therapy, I think that Boston is going to be pretty conservative this offseason, and that they’ll bring in a veteran shortstop to plug that hole. Could it be Marco Scutaro? Scutaro had been seen as a utility-type player, but when given a chance in Toronto, he turned [...]

They have Holliday going to the Mets, Lackey going to the Yanks and Bay returning to Boston. They also include Marco Scutaro going to the Red Sox: Marco Scutaro - Red Sox.
