From T.R. Sullivan's story tonight on the Rangers needs at the Winter Meetings: The Rangers need a big hitter in the middle of the order. He could be an outfielder, designated hitter or occasional first baseman paired with Chris Davis . Among the possibilities are Vladimir Guerrero , Jermaine Dye , Troy Glaus , Gary Sheffield , Mike Cameron and Fernando Tatis . So there you go, Rangers fans. Time to...

Interesting to see the breakdown of who was and wasn't offered arbitration among this year's free agents . Recall that if a player is offered arbitration, he can accept or he can decline and be a free agent, in which case the team gets compensation in the form of a draft pick. If the team doesn't offer arbitration, it loses the chance to get a draft pick. (In 2006, the CBA eliminated restrictions...

MLB.com's Joe Frisaro has a few Marlins rumblings... The Marlins are prepared to pay Cody Ross and Jorge Cantu in 2010, although both players will receive raises through arbitration. Frisaro feels that two of Renyel Pinto, Matt Lindstrom, and Leo Nunez will be traded. All three relievers are eligible for arbitration for the first time. Frisaro feels that Vladimir Guerrero is not a fit for the Marlins,...

Take a break from matters of war and peace to consider a light, sweet subject. In a column earlier this week, I had an item on “mixed names” -- names that have a first name from one tradition, and a last name from another. I cited a boy of my acquaintance: Joshua Santacroce (or “Joshua Holy Cross”). Many readers sent in their own examples. And several mentioned a former major-league...

World Series MVP Hideki Matsui, Vladimir Guerrero and Randy Wolf were among the free agents who weren't offered salary arbitration, a move that enables new teams to sign them without losing draft picks.

The last time Carlos Delgado hit the open market, he signed a $52MM deal with the Florida Marlins. Five offseasons later, Delgado's in line for a considerably smaller deal and the Marlins are expected to spend more liberally. The Puerto Rican slugger is returning from hip surgery that may limit his ability to play the field. He'll face competition from free agent first basemen and designated hitters,...

As noted earlier today , congrats to Kendry Morales for joining a select group of six other players in Angels HISTORY to finish in the top 5 in MVP balloting. Also kudos to Chone Figgins for becoming just the third player in Angels history to garner MVP votes in at least 4 different seasons (along with Vlad's 5 and Jim Fregosi's 8). Do you feel like looking at a (hopefully complete) list of Angels...

The void that will be created with the departures of John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Darren Oliver , and Vladimir Guerrero will be felt long after they sign new contracts with their new teams. Lackey is a true number one Ace, Figgins is a true lead off hitter and has great defensive skills, Oliver isn't only a lefty specialist, and Vladimir was the face of the franchise. But like Tony Reagins said on...

Vladimir Guerrero, seen here handling balls, was to Montreal baseball what Rocket Richard was to hockey. After playing here for several years, Guerrero went on to play in Los Angeles and now remains an unsigned free agent. Bud Selig has decided that Montreal cannot have a baseball team but nothing says we cant have baseball players. So Coolopolis ( that would be me - Chimples) proposes that someone...

ANAHEIM, Calif. – John Lackey pitched a five-hitter for his first complete game of the season, Torii Hunter hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 3-0 on Thursday night. Lackey (10-7) struck out seven and walked one, finishing in 115 pitches to help the Angels increase their AL West lead to five games over idle Texas. Los Angeles also moved a season-best...
