Mets Do Not Offer Arb To Any Free Agents
Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post (via Twitter) reports that, as, expected, the Mets will not offer arbitration to any of their remaining free agents --- Carlos Delgado, Gary Sheffield, Fernando Tatis, or Elmer Dessens. Delgado and Tatis are Type B free agents, while Sheffield and Dessens are u...

Here's some more links on a busy first day at the GM meetings... WEEI.com's Alex Speier writes that when Jed Hoyer took over as GM of the Padres, it only made it tougher for the Red Sox to pull off a deal for Adrian Gonzalez. “He knows all my tricks, and I know his,” said Theo Epstein of Hoyer....
@danielpwns
Yeah thats why 35,000+ showed up to the last three games right?
And calling Dan Uggla terrible is way off line.You can say what you want about his strikeouts, but a guy who is the fastest to 100 HR for 2B ever, boy that guy's awful. Adam Dunn, Mark Reynolds, Ryan Howard, boy, they are awful players because they strike out a lot. .257 batting average could be a little better, but that is not "terrible." .344 OBP is "terrible" too right? Knock in 92, hit 32 HR? You guessed it, terrible.

It's been a busy first day on the hot stove, so here's another batch of links... Derrick Goold of The St. Lous Post Dispatch says there are eight teams "that have the need and the financial wherewithal" to sign Matt Holliday. It's the usual suspects (i.e. big market clubs), and Goold explains w...
@lakersdodgersyankees4life
For Uggla, it would probably take a Blake DeWitt, Scott Elbert, + High C/Low B prospect
For Uggla + Johnson, it would probably take the aforementioned and Xavier Paul, Chin-Lung Hu, Tony Delmonico, James McDonald, and Travis Schlichting in addition.
If you want to throw Hanley in there, just for kicks and giggles, it would probably take the aforementioned and Clayton Kershaw, Russell Martin, A.J. Ellis, and Ronald Belisario.

I don't love Jeremy Hermida...far from it...but from what I have heard (him getting released etc.), Francoeur doesn't seem like the top talent he used to be. Hermida's defense is horrifying...but he is on a hot streak. I would rather Emilio Bonifacio for Francoeur...move Coghlan to 3B and Jeremy Hermida to LF.

Houston is in all likelyhood going no where this year. why don't they trade Valverde to Atlanta for Scott Redmond. Valverde proabaly won't resign, Atlanta needs a true bona-fide closer instead of set-up guys trying to close (soriano and gonzo) and Atlanta a surplus of good pitching prospects.
