Honestly, he should just be better than he is. I watched him all year in Miami, and I cannot envision anything more frustrating than coaching him. He's the poor man's JD Drew. My bet is that he ends up wearing red in St. Louis or Cincy.

Hermida A Non-Tender Candidate
The Marlins are unlikely to tender a contract to outfielder Jeremy Hermida, according to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post. Hermida followed up on a lackluster '08 with a .259/.348/.392 line in 491 plate appearances this year. His defense is not well-regarded, though heading into the season J...
As a fan, I choose to not go to games at LandShark, any longer. Of the active stadiums I've been to (Fenway, Wrigley, Great American, PNC, Jacobs Field, Coors, Camden Yards) and retired stadiums (Candlestick, 3 rivers, Cinergy Field, Veterans, Yankee Stadium, Shea, and JFK), I would consistently rank Landshark the worst for distance from seat to field, quality of food, quality of fans and convienence.
Honestly, it is the worst major league ballpark I've seen.

Gees, Here's a Surprise: Major League Players Dislike Land Shark Stadium
A newt Sports Illustrated poll shows that Land Shark Stadium isn't a favorite among players. The only park that rated lower was the A's Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. In its survey, SI asked players "Which ballpark do you least like to play in?" Oakland-Alameda topped the list at 11 percent, f...
Why not Chris Duncan?

Reds Sign Lew Ford
According to the MILB transactions feed, the Reds have signed OF Lew Ford to a minor-league deal. Ford, 33, returned from a stint in Japan with the Hanshin Tigers and previously had signed a deal with the Rockies this year but never got into game action. Ford last appeared in the majors in 2007 w...
I think most people struck on the truth.. if Wilson was DFA'd today, I'm not certain any team would look at him as a starter (ie Lugo). Sure someone would pick him up on the cheap, but a starter?
On the other hand, if the pirates want to dilute out these bad contracts they are going to have to go for more years. Maybe a 3/13 or 4/14 would work for wilson, and with sanchez, maybe they should be looking 4/20. Honestly I think the Pirates would be better off trading them for some spare parts and clearing out the salary, but those could not really be considered fair offers.

Sanchez And Wilson Reject Extensions
MONDAY 7:15pm: Langosch has an update on the situation, and says that Sanchez and Wilson both express desire to continue negotiations to stay with the Pirates despite their early contract rejections, citing a "miscommunication." The players believed the original offers to be "take-it-or-leave-it...
I think the reds still over-value bailey to swap him for Willingham. Honestly, the reds should just throw in the towel and firesale some of the elders, in order to compete next year. Rhodes, Arroyo, Weathers, and RHernandez are all valuable and could net prospects. Then they could get Bailey into the rotation and make him work out the kinks, get Hannigan some more playing time and go after a big bat in the off season.

Olney On Felix, Reds, Dye, Indians
ESPN.com's Buster Olney imagines there will be a long lineup of suitors for Felix Hernandez when he hits free agency after the 2011 season. Players as good as King Felix will sign massive deals regardless of the economy, Olney says. Here are the rest of his rumors: The Reds, who are looking fo...
What about Uggla for Lyon straight up? Coughlin is taking away Uggla's home in Miami, and they need relief. I bet the Marlins would take Maggs off the Tigers hands too, if Detroit "made it rain".

I was just going to say, shouldn't it be reported when the DL loses Nomar and Chavez to the A's?
